Abstract: The present invention relates to cutting body hair such as beard stubble. More particularly, the present invention relates to a cutter system for an electric shaver and/or trimmer, with a pair of cooperating cutting elements with at least one row of comb-like cutting teeth. The cutting elements are movably supported relative to each other by a support structure. At least one of the cutting elements, when viewed in cross section, has a C-shape including a pair of dog-eared holding flanges attached to the support structure and a slightly dome shaped or flat center section. The row of comb-like cutting teeth are formed in a transitional section between the dog-eared holding flanges and the center section. The dog-eared holding flange at the transitional section may be provided with a step-like concave depression forming thinned-out tooth tips.
