2. The razor of claim 1 wherein the rotatable mounting element comprises a worm gear.

3. The razor of claim 1 wherein said handle is configured to receive a replacement head.

4. The razor of claim 1 wherein said handle includes an ergonomic gripping surface.

5. The razor of claim 4 wherein said ergonomic gripping surface includes an arcuate section such that the head is positioned off of a longitudinal axis of the handle at the gripping surface and is closer to an intended shaving surface.

6. The razor of claim 1 including multiple blades on each side of the head.

7. The razor of claim 1 wherein said handle further comprises a chamber receiving said rotatable mounting element.

8. The razor of claim 7 further comprising a cover closing said chamber.

9. The razor of claim 1 wherein said slide button includes wing elements received within channels in said handle.

10. The razor of claim 1 further comprising a spring biasing said rotatable mounting element against rotation.

11. The razor of claim 1 wherein said slide button includes a projection configured to engage a tab on said head during disengagement of the head from the razor handle.

12. A razor apparatus including a head having at least one blade member on each of a first and a second opposed side of the head, each blade member having a straight front cutting edge and a rear non-cutting edge, the head including a frame defining an opening through which the cutting edges are accessible, the frame having a rotatable mounting element for attachment of the head to a handle, wherein said rotation is around a longitudinal axis of said handle and wherein said head is rotatable at least 180° when the rotatable mounting element is activated, said razor apparatus further including a hinge disposed between the first and second opposed sides of the head.

13. The razor of claim 12 wherein said hinge is comprised of a flexible plastic or rubber.

14. The razor of claim 12 wherein said hinge fills at least 75% of a space between opposed blade members.

15. A razor apparatus including a head having at least one blade member on each of a first and a second opposed side of the head, each blade member having a straight front cutting edge and a rear non-cutting edge, the head including a frame defining an opening through which the cutting edges are accessible, the frame having a rotatable mounting element for attachment of the head to a handle, wherein said rotation is around a longitudinal axis of said handle and wherein said head is rotatable at least 180° when the rotatable mounting element is activated, wherein said rotatable mounting element comprises a cylindrical body including a keyway.
