Abstract: A shaving apparatus includes a short-hair cutter unit and a long-hair cutter unit. The long-hair cutter unit includes an outer cutter with slits and segments and an inner cutter that is movable in a vertical direction by means of a carrier structure. The outer cutter has comb elements that are associated with the comb elements of a threader comb. The comb elements of the threader comb are movable jointly with the comb elements of the outer cutter in a vertical direction.

Abstract: The invention is directed to a dry shaving apparatus comprising a casing (7) formed by face walls (1, 2) and narrow sidewalls (3, 4, 5, 6), an electric driving mechanism for at least one cutter assembly (S), at least one control switch (20), and a guard member pivotally mounted on the casing (7) and having a cap portion (18) of an essentially U-shaped configuration for protecting the shaver assembly, wherein the cap portion (18) with at least one guard wall (16, 17) extending parallel to the face walls (1, 2) is pivotally mounted on at least one of the face walls (1, 2) of the casing (7) by means of a rotary joint, and the control switch (20) is actuatable only when the cap portion (18) and the guard wall (16, 17) are in a pivot position in which the shaver assembly (S) is released.
