Abstract
A dispenser having a plurality of row-arrayed compartments each for releasably retaining a razor blade cartridge therewithin. The opposite ends of the compartments are respectively formed by a partition wall and yieldable, free-standing retention means positioned such that the end of one compartment is not in common with the opposite end of the next compartment, thereby making the compartments independent of one another to minimize the cumulative effects of oversize cartridge tolerances. The free-standing fingers also reduce the force required to manually load cartridges into the dispenser during assembly.
