Abstract: A shaving apparatus includes a cutting member substantially constituted by a central body provided at its circumference with cutters connected to the central body by means of connecting arms. For reasons of manufacturing technology and cost the material thickness is desirable minimized. However, limiting factors in this respect are the strength and the rigidity of the cutting member. In the instant construction the strength and the rigidity of the cutting member are increased by having the connecting arms secured to a bent reinforcement rim at the periphery of the central body.

Abstract: There is provided a rotary shaving apparatus having a shear plate formed with hair-entrance apertures and a cutting member associated with and rotatable relative to the shear plate. The cutting member is substantially constituted by a central body provided with cutters extending only from its circumference. The cutters are arranged in a plurality of groups, the intervals between adjoining cutters of each group being equal, such intervals differing from the respective intervals between the two adjacent cutters of two different groups.
