A razor cartridge (20) comprising a frame (21), wherein the frame comprises a leading longitudinal member (24) and a trailing longitudinal member (25) and at least one transverse frame member (35) defining a cartridge plane (CP), disposed in between, and joining, the leading longitudinal member and the trailing longitudinal member, in a transverse direction of the razor cartridge. The at least one transverse frame member comprises a plurality of cutting member guides (36) defining a plurality of cutting member support slots (64a-d), each cutting member support slot configured to accommodate a longitudinal cutting member, and a plurality of longitudinal cutting members (28a-d), wherein each cutting member is disposed in a respective cutting member support slot. At least one cutting member guide (36) comprises a first planar face (50) proximate to a first cutting member support slot, and wherein the at least one cutting member guide further comprises an intermediate portion (53b) that is further from the first cutting member support slot than the first planar face (50) in the transverse direction of the razor cartridge. A first longitudinal distance (d1) is defined by the width of the first planar face (50) of the at least one cutting member guide in the cartridge plane, and a second longitudinal distance (d2) is defined by width of the intermediate portion of the first cutting member guide at the widest point of the first cutting member guide in the cartridge plane. A ratio of the first longitudinal distance (d1) and the second longitudinal distance (d2) is in the range 0.1 : 0.8.

A razor cartridge (20) comprising three or more substantially parallel cutting members (28a-d) disposed between a leading longitudinal side (24) and a trailing longitudinal side (25) of the razor cartridge in a shaving direction (S) of the razor cartridge. Each of the cutting members (28a-d) comprises a blade support (32) comprising a blade mounting portion (71) disposed on an inner surface (66) of the respective blade support that, in use, faces away from a shaving plane (SH), and a blade (33) attached to the blade mounting portion (71). The cutting members (28a-d) are disposed to define a plurality of inter-blade spans (40, 41, 42) between cutting edges (30) of the blades. A leading inter-blade span (40) that is closer to the leading longitudinal side (24) of the razor cartridge than a trailing inter-blade span (42) is greater than the trailing inter-blade span (42) that is closer to the trailing longitudinal side (25) of the razor cartridge than the leading inter-blade span.
