Razor cartridge

A razor cartridge comprising:

• a frame, wherein the frame comprises a leading longitudinal member and a trailing longitudinal member, and at least one transverse frame member defining a cartridge plane, disposed in between, and joining, the leading longitudinal member and the trailing longitudinal member, in a transverse direction of the razor cartridge;
• wherein the at least one transverse frame member comprises a plurality of cutting member guides defining a plurality of cutting member support slots, each cutting member support slot configured to accommodate a longitudinal cutting member;
• and
• a plurality of longitudinal cutting members, wherein each cutting member is disposed in a respective cutting member support slot;
• wherein at least one cutting member guide comprises a first planar face proximate to a first cutting member support slot, and wherein the at least one cutting member guide further comprises an intermediate portion that is a greater distance away from the first cutting member support slot than the first planar face in the transverse direction of the razor cartridge;
• wherein a first longitudinal distance is defined by a width of the first planar face of the at least one cutting member guide in the cartridge plane, and a second longitudinal distance parallel to the first longitudinal distance is defined by a width of the intermediate portion of the at least one cutting member guide at the widest point of the at least one cutting member guide in the cartridge plane;
• wherein a ratio of the first longitudinal distance and the second longitudinal distance is in the range 0.1:0.8;
• and
• wherein the plurality of cutting member guides include a leading end support that comprises a leading planar face proximate to a leading cutting member support slot, and wherein the leading end support contacts the leading longitudinal member at the widest point of the leading end support.
