Cutters extend from the frame toward the shear plate, each cutter having a trapezoidal cross section and being in contact along its base with the shear plate. Two hair-pulling blades are respectively associated with and movable relative to the opposite sloping sides of each cutter, each hair-pulling blade normally being in contact with the shear plate. A pair of resilient elements respectively connects the opposite ends of each hair-pulling blade to the frame.
