In a razor cartridge (10), a platform portion (12) has a first cartridge section (14) that includes at least one first pair of razor blades (30, 32) position therein. Each of the first pair or razor blades has an at least partially exposed cutting edge (34). A second cartridge section (16) is also provided and is coupled to the platform portion. The second cartridge section includes at least one pair of second razor blades positioned therein, each of the second pair of razor blades also having an at least partially exposed cutting edge. The razor cartridge can be mounted either temporarily or permanently to a handle (40), and the cutting edges of each of the first and second pair of razor blades face one another so that during a shaving operation, the razor cartridge can cut hair when drawn over a user's skin in either of two generally opposite directions.
