In a shaving cartridge the combination of: a base member adapted for releasable securing to a holding member, a bridge member, and a razor blade permanently sandwiched between said base and bridge members; wherein said base member comprises a generally rectangular, elongated, rigid plastic body; wherein said base member and blade have a plurality of apertures spaced so as to be concentric when superposed; wherein said bridge member comprises a generally rectangular, elongated, rigid plastic body shaped to expose along its forward lengthwise edge the cutting edge of said blade, said bridge member having a portion at each end thereof extending transversely of and over the cutting edge of said blade to thereby form a pair of abutments for locating said blade; said bridge member having a plurality of projections positioned to be received through the apertures of said base member and said blade, the heads of said projections being secured to the underside of said base member; the portions of the apertures of said base member which are adjacent the lower face of said blade having enlarged diameters and said bridge member having annular cutouts surrounding the bases of said projections adjacent the upper face of said blade, whereby the remaining portions of said base member between said projections are resiliently biased by said heads toward the lower face of said blade so as to clamp said blade between said base member and said bridge member; and an elongated clip-like member shaped for seating in the underside of said base member, said clip-like member having depending longitudinal edges for mating with said holding member whereby said base member is securable to said holding member; said clip-like member having a plurality of apertures for receiving said projections, and resilient portions between said longitudinal edges, the peripheries of said apertures being resiliently biased by said heads against said remaining portions of said base member.
