1. A shaving razor cartridge comprising:
a housing having a pair of opposing walls disposed at opposite sides of the housing, each wall defining an opening extending there through, each of the walls having a pair of opposing bearing surfaces that define a pair of respective concentric arcs, at least one of the bearing surfaces of each wall defines a “U”-shaped slot that is in communication with the respective opening; and
at least one blade mounted to the housing, the blade having an edge wherein water can access the edge from a top and bottom of the housing and from the sides of the housing through the openings in the walls.
2. The shaving cartridge of claim 1 wherein a plane extends through a center of the concentric arcs and the edge of the blade is positioned on the plane.

a razor handle having a body providing an area for a consumer to grip the handle and a neck extending from the body, the neck having a pair of opposing arms that taper outwardly and define a tapered slot that extends into the neck wherein the arms taper closer together toward a base of the tapered slot where the arms meet, wherein each arm has an end portion with a pin member having a cross section and extends outwardly from each of the respective end portions and each of the pin members are parallel to and spaced apart from a respective support member on each of the arms; and
a housing mounted to the handle, the housing having a pair of opposing walls each defining an opening extending there through, each of the walls having a pair of opposing bearing surfaces that define a pair of respective concentric arcs, at least one of the bearing surfaces of each wall defines a “U”-shaped slot that is in communication with the respective opening, wherein each pin member is disposed in a respective opening to mount the housing to the handle, and wherein the cross section of each pin member is truncated with respect to a corresponding cross section of the respective opening in the corresponding wall of the housing.
