Abstract
An electric shaver comprising a housing, a shaving head projecting from an upper end of the housing, a shaving blade having a front shaving edge extending laterally along a front end of the head, a comb having a number of combing teeth arranged laterally side by side and positioned below the front shaving edge of the shaving blade, and an edge cover provided above the shaving blade for abutting against skin when the shaver is in use to regulate, together with the comb, an angle which the edge of the shaving blade makes with respect to the skin. A front edge of the edge cover, the front shaving edge of the shaving blade, and a front end of the comb are aligned substantially on a straight line in a plane perpendicularly cutting the front end of the edge cover, the front shaving edge of the shaving blade and the front end of the comb. In a modified embodiment, the front shaving edge of the shaving blade is located below and slightly offset from a straight line connecting the front edge of the edge cover and front edge of the comb.
