Abstract: A safety razor apparatus having a blade assembly (2) comprising two guiding members (9,10), each having a surface for abutting against the skin, and one or more blades (11,12,13) located between said two guiding members (9,10), wherein the cutting edge (14) of each blade (11,12,13) and said surfaces are positioned substantially in one plane. The apparatus has a grip portion (1) being pivotal relative to said blade assembly (2) about a pivot axis (8), wherein the pivot axis (8) is positioned parallel to said cutting edge (14). A location of said pivot axis (8) is adjustable with respect to said blade assembly (2).

Abstract: A safety razor apparatus having a blade assembly (2) comprising two guiding members (9, 10), each having a surface for abutting against a skin, and one or more blades (11, 12, 13) being located between said two guiding members (9, 10). The cutting edge (14) of each blade (11, 12, 13) and said surfaces are positioned substantially in one plane (20). The apparatus has a grip portion (1) being connected to said blade assembly (2). The position of at least one of the two guiding members (9, 10) is adjustable in a direction perpendicular to said plane (20).

Abstract: The invention is directed to a shaving head (8) comprising at least one cutting blade (10, 12) and actively driveable skin stretching means (14) arranged behind said cutting blade (10, 12) relative to a cutting direction (16) of said cutting blade (10, 12). The actively driveable skin stretching means (14) are provided to reduce the possibility that ni cks and cuts or irritations of the skip to be shaved are created during the shaving operation. In accordance with the invention the shaving head (8) comprises means (18) for providing a pivot axis (20) between the shaving head (8) and a handie (22) attached or attachable to said shaving head (8), said pivot axis (20) being arranged at least essentially parallel to said cutting blade (10, 12). By providing the pivot axis (20) the for ratio between a force applied to the actively driveable skin stretching means (14) and forces applied to other parts of the shaving head (8) may be kept constant for different angles of the handle.
