Abstract
A shaving apparatus has a circular shear plate provided with hair-entrance apertures and a cutting unit associated with and rotatable relative to the shear plate. The cutting unit comprises a cutting member having a circular central body and a hair-pulling member having a circular central portion. Cutters extend from the central body circumference toward the shear plate, with each cutter having a guide wall. A lead cutter is associated with and movable along the guide wall of each cutter, the lead cutter being connected to the central portion circumference by a V-shaped elastically deformable arm. One link of the connecting arm is secured to the central portion and extends tangentially therefrom; and the other limb is connected to the lead cutter. Each connecting arm is elastically deformed so as to urge its lead cutter against the guide wall of the associated cutter.
