Shaving razor pivot lock

A shaving razor 10 with a handle 12 having a gripping portion 14 extending along a longitudinal axis A1 and a head 20. A cartridge 30 mounted to the handle and has a shaving surface 32 with at least one blade 40 having a blade edge, and an opposing surface 34. The cartridge has a forward and a rearward pivot position relative to the handle. A pivot locking mechanism 50 positioned on the head of the handle having a pusher member 52 that slides toward and away from the cartridge between an engaged position and a disengaged position. The pusher member in the engaged position directly contacts the opposing surface of the cartridge forcing the cartridge in the forward position preventing the cartridge from pivoting with respect to the handle. The pusher member in the disengaged position is spaced apart from the opposing surface of the cartridge in the forward position allowing the cartridge to pivot relative to the handle.
