Abstract
By constructing an apertured foil with at least one zone having a thickness greater than the thickness of the remaining foil member and positioning the zone of increased thickness in the central area of the apertured foil, an apertured foil construction for a dry shaver is attained which provides greater control over the cutting and shaving of longer hair fibers simultaneously with the cutting/shaving of shorter hair fibers. In the preferred embodiments, either one or two increased thickness zones are employed to attain the optimum benefits of the present invention. In addition, the present invention is constructed to prevent the skin from entering the apertures, thereby preventing skin irritation.
