Abstract
By providing a shaving system having at least one separate and independent hair trimming assembly employed in direct association with an apertured foil or mesh screen cutting assembly in a manner enabling the hair trimming assembly to be movable into a plurality of alternate positions by a single control element for being employed simultaneously with the apertured foil cutting assemblies, a unique shaving system is achieved for cutting both short hair and long hair. Furthermore, in order to accommodate the typical variety of conditions experienced by most users of an electric dry shaving system, whether the system is being employed by men or women, it has been found that the hair trimming assemblies are preferably able to be placed in at least three alternate positions quickly and easily by the simple movement of a single button or switch. In this way, the varying contours of an individual skin surface are easily accommodated and a smooth, comfortable, close shave is realized.
