Abstract: A personal care device, such as a shaving apparatus, provided with at least one cutting unit (21) comprising an external cutting member (23) and an internal cutting member (22) which is moveable relative to the external cutting member (23) in at least one direction of movement. A virtual skin plane (10) is located on a side of the external cutting member (23) facing away from the internal cutting member (22). The virtual skin plane (10) extends parallel to said direction of movement and parallel to a skin surface when the cutting unit (21) is in an operational position relative to the skin surface. The internal cutting member (22) comprises a plurality of cutting elements (39) each comprising a first cutting edge (50). A projection of the first cutting edge (50) in the virtual skin plane (10) encloses at least a first shearing angle with said direction of movement.
