Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9835794A1] A shaving apparatus comprises at least two shaving heads (3), each having an external cutting member (4) and an internal cutting member (5) which is drivable relative to this external cutting member, each external cutting member having shaving fields (7, 8 - 19, 20 - 21, 22) with hair-entry apertures (9, 10) of different types, including one type for cutting long hairs (pre-shaving) and one type for cutting short hairs (close shaving). In order to improve the shaving performance the shaving fields (7, 8 - 19, 20 - 21, 22) of the same type of two adjacent external cutting members (4) are directed towards one another. Preferably, the shaving fields (7, 19, 21) for short hairs are situated in a central area of the shaving apparatus and the shaving fields (8, 20, 22) for long hairs are situated around the first-mentioned fields or at least in an area near the periphery of the shaving apparatus.
