Abstract
An electric shaver comprising a shaver housing comprising a generally rectangular box-like casing and a head casing removably mounted on one end of the box-like casing; a finely perforated stationary shear foil replaceably mounted on the head casing; a reciprocable blade assembly positioned inside the head casing and outside the box-like casing and cooperable with the stationary shear foil to cut bristles entering the head casing through the perforations in the stationary shear foil; an electric drive motor accommodated within the box-like casing and having a drive shaft, said drive shaft having first and second ends opposite to each other and protruding outwards from the motor in opposite directions away from each other; means for connecting the first end of the drive shaft with the blade assembly to permit the blade assembly to undergo oscillation relative to the stationary shear foil; a photoelectric detector comprising a light emitting element and a photoelectric cell for providing an electric output signal indicative of a parameter descriptive of the speed of rotation of the motor; and at least one printed circuit board incorporating a control circuit for controlling the motor in dependence on the output signal and accommodated within the box-like casing.
