A shaving system comprises novel components of a razor handle (1), a razor blade cartridge (2), and a magazine (5) holding a supply of cartridges. The handle and magazine are adapted to cooperate so that a used cartridge on the handle is replaced by (i) inserting the used cartridge into an empty maga- zine compartment, which unlatches the handle from the cartridge; (ii) moving the handle along the magazine towards a next adjacent compartment accom- modating a fresh cartridge, firstly to disconnect the handle from the used ear- tridge which is left in its compartment and secondly to latach the handle onto the fresh cartridge held in the next compartment; and (iii) withdrawing from the magazine the handle with the fresh cartridge attached. Thus, the cartridges are dispensed from the magazine in turn with each cartridge replacement op- eration being effected by a single stroke of the handle relative to the magazine, this stroke having distinct components of insertion, advancement and withdra- wal. A novel handle and cartridge coupling system is used, the cartridge hav- ing key elements (14) which engage in slots (15) provided on the handle so that the handle is connected to the cartridge by displacement relative thereto in a direction transverse to the cartridge and substantially parallel to its front face (25), and latch devices (18) which engage in notches (17) at the ends of the car- tridge being provided on the handle to lock the cartridge against detachment from the handle. Conveniently, the latch devices and notches (17, 18) define a pivot enabling pivotal movement of the cartridge on the handle.
