Abstract
A hair cutter according to the present invention includes a hair cutter body having a generally rectangular cross-section, a hair cutting portion provided at one end thereof, a comb portion having a plurality of comb plates for covering the hair cutting portion, and a comb portion holder having the comb portion at one end thereof. The hair cutter body has side surfaces disposed along a direction of thickness. The hair cutting portion includes a comb-like fixed blade and a comb-like movable blade reciprocating relative to the comb-like fixed blade. The comb portion holder has at least one supporting member fitted on and rotatably attached to the side surface. The comb portion holder is allowed to rotate in a plane parallel to the side surfaces so that the comb portion is capable of changing its position between a comb-use-position where the comb portion covers the hair cutting portion and a non-comb-use-position where the comb portion is placed at the other end of the hair cuter body with the hair cutting portion exposed.
