Abstract
An electric shaver includes a main blade 1 having an external blade formed with a large number of blade holes and an internal blade coming in sliding contact with an inner face of the external blade and trimmer blades 2 being disposed in the proximity of the main blade, each with a blade edge directed in a direction away from the main blade so that the trimmer blades 2 and the main blade 1 can be brought into contact with a skin surface at the same time. Hair raising members 8 are projected on a blade cover 24 covering the top faces of blade members of the trimmer blades 2. When the electric shaver is moved along a skin surface, the hair raising members 8 on the blade cover 24 raise hair, thereby enhancing the hair introduction efficiency into the main blade 1.
