Abstract: A shaving system comprises a shaving device and a cleaning device. The shaving device has an orientation sensor for generating an output signal representing the orientation of the shaving device. The cleaning device supports the shaving device in a cleaning position with a predefined cleaning orientation. The cleaning device is controlled to operate according to a predefined cleaning program for cleaning the shaving unit when the orientation sensed by the orientation sensor corresponds to said predefined cleaning orientation. This shaving device thus makes use of an orientation sensor to identify when the shaving device is in a cleaning orientation. This gives a low cost sensing solution and enables a single user input button to be used for operating the shaving device and for starting a cleaning program.

Abstract: A shaving system (10) comprising a shaving device (12) having a shaving unit (38) and a cleaning device (14) for cleaning the shaving unit, the shaving unit having at least one hair-cutting unit (25) having an outer hair-cutting member with an annular shaving track (37) with a plurality of hair-entry openings (27) and an inner hair-cutting member rotationally arranged inside of the outer hair-cutting member. The cleaning device (14) has at least one liquid-injection nozzle arranged and positioned in a receiving pit of the cleaning device for generating a jet of the cleaning liquid that, when the shaving unit is supported in a cleaning position by the cleaning device, propagates directly through one or more of the hair-entry openings (27) of the shaving unit only in a single sector (41) of the annular shaving track (37) of the outer hair-cutting member (27) extending over at most one half of the annular shaving track.
