Abstract
A dry-shaving apparatus comprises a shear-shaving section having a first head member formed by an arcuate flexible shear foil providing a working surface, such shear-shaving section including a plurality of reciprocatingly drivable cutters co-operating with the flexible shear foil. Included is a comb-shaving section having a second head member constructed as a rigid trough-shaped part fixedly and permanently connected to the flexible shear foil and provided with a working surface, such comb-shaving section including a reciprocatingly drivable rigid cutter co-operating with the rigid trough-shaped part. The first head member and the second head member together constitute a head-member unit. A cutter unit co-operates with the head-member unit and includes a reciprocatingly drivable support for supporting and driving the cutters of the respective shaving sections. The working surface of the comb-shaving section adjoins the working surface of the shear-shaving section and projects laterally therefrom, the plane defined by the working surface of the comb-shaving section forming an obtuse angle with the plane tangent to the working surface of the shear-shaving section at the location where the two shaving sections adjoin each other. The rigid cutter of the comb-shaving section is supported by the cutter unit support by means of at least one spring.
