Abstract
A shaving device comprises a head structure () and a base structure (). The head structure () is configured to retain and support at least one shaving head (A,B,C). The head structure () is releasably retainable on the base structure (). The base structure () is free of support elements in an area of an outer circumference of the head structure () such that the head structure (), when coupled to the base structure (), is not supported in the area of its outer circumference. The head structure (), when coupled to the base structure (), is substantially only retained on the base structure () by a retaining force provided by a retaining structure of the base structure (). When an overloading force is exerted on the head structure (), the force is transferred to a coupling element () arranged in a central area (A) of the head structure () such that the coupling element () is released from the retaining structure of the base structure () in order to prevent damage to the head structure ().
