Abstract: Disposable razors are known. Unfortunately, “wet-shaving” is required with these razors which can be an inconvenience if the appropriate facilities are not readily available. Dry shaving would be ideal but dry shavers are not designed to be cheap enough to be disposable. The problem of providing a razor that could be used for wet or dry shaving that is cheap enough to throw away after a few uses is solved by the provision of a power operated razor 1 comprising a head 2 incorporating one or more cutter containing shaver heads 11, a body 3, a power supply 4 operatively connected to the or each cutter and an actuator 8 to actuate the razor 1, their arrangement being such that there is no normal means of access to the interior of the razor 1. This alleviates the problem because access to the working parts to replace them is denied.
