Abstract
A dry-shaving apparatus comprises a housing; a longitudinally extending shear plate; a holder for the shear plate, the holder being removable from the housing; and a longitudinally extending cutter rotatable relative to the shear plate. The cutter includes a carrier having cutting elements movable in a substantially radial direction relative to the carrier. Each cutting element has a cutting edge at its radial end, such radial ends being in contact with the shear plate during only a part of a revolution of the cutter and being clear of other parts of the apparatus during another part of the cutter revolution. A guide wall provided on the housing adjoins the shear plate, the radial ends of the cutting elements also being in contact during a further part of the cutter revolution with such guide wall.
