Abstract: A dry-shaving apparatus comprises a holder for a circular cutting unit which includes an external cutting member formed with hair-entry apertures, having an outwardly extending annular flange portion, and movable transversely relative to the holder, and an internal cutting member rotatably drivable relative to the external cutting member. A retaining plate is positioned inside the holder. The external cutting member is detachably secured to the retaining plate, the internal cutting member being retained between the external cutting member and the retaining plate, by means of two resilient arms engaging around the flange portion of the external cutting member and secured to the retaining plate. A spring associated with the retaining plate moves the same transversely relative to the holder.

Abstract: A shaving apparatus comprises a housing and a shaving head rotatably mounted on the housing and having at least two rotary shaving units each comprising an external shaving member provided with hair-entry apertures and an internal shaving member rotatably drivable relative to the external shaving member, the axes of the rotatably drivable internal shaving members being parallel to each other. The shaving head is mounted such that it is rotatable relative to the housing about a rotational axis inclined relative to the longitudinal dimension of the housing and parallel to the axes of the rotatably drivable internal shaving members. Thereby the shaving head can be rotated about the rotational axis to various positions oriented differently relative to the housing.
