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 about an axis of rotation. The cutting unit comprises a cutting member having a circular central body, cutter arms extending from the periphery of the central body toward the shear plate, and a cutter formed at the end of each cutter arm, a part of each cutter arm extending in a substantially axial direction. A hair-pulling member has a circular central portion, hair-pulling-blade arms extending from the periphery of the central portion toward the shear plate, and a hair-pulling blade formed at the end of each hair-pulling-blade arm, each hair-pulling blade being associated with and movable relative to a cutter, a part of each hair-pulling-blade arm extending in a substantially axial direction. The axially directed part of each cutter arm and the axially directed part of its associated hair-pulling-blade arm are so positioned relative to each other that the axially directed part of the cutter arm is arranged radially opposite the axially directed part of the hair-pulling-blade arm and is situated at a greater radial distance from the axis of rotation than the axially directed part of the hair-pulling-blade arm.
