Abstract: A safety razor has a blade unit with a housing and a razor blade, and an elongated handle having a uniform thickness and having a first end including an aperture extending into the thickness, and an opposed second end. The safety razor also has a connector to connect the blade unit to the handle. A body of the connector has a recess with an opening, and a user-operable latch including a protrusion extending into the recess. The first end of the handle is removably received in the recess and the protrusion is received in the aperture to secure the handle to the connector. The protrusion is releasable from the aperture by a user-applied force to a lever at an end of the latch opposite the protrusion end to release the first end of the handle from the recess.
