Preferably, two curved support arms 311 are provided in this embodiment, and the contact arm 312 is located between the two support arms 311, so that the shaver head 10a or 10b can be assembled on the support arms 311 reliably, and the contact force on the shaver head 10a or 10b is even and reliable.

[0029] Referring to Figs. 3 and 5, multiple second shaver heads 10b are arranged and stacked in the vertical direction. Specifically, in this embodiment, the amount of the second shaver heads 10b is four, but other amounts can be arranged, according to the actual demands and actual design. Specifically, each pushing structure for each the second shaver head 10b is arranged upwards.

[0030] Referring to Figs. 3-5, the upper end of the magazine body 20 is provided with a connecting plug 23 that is matched with the shaver head connection cover 30, the opening 22 is formed on the connecting plug 23, and the shaver head connection cover 30 is detachably covered on the connecting plug 23, so that the assembly between the magazine body 20 and the shaver head connection cover 30 is convenient and quick. In this embodiment, the opening 22 includes a top notch 221 running through the top end of the connecting plug 23 and a side notch 222 running through a side wall of the connecting plug 23. Preferably, two side notches 222 run through the two side walls of the connecting plug 23, for example, the left and the right side walls in Fig. 3, that is, the forming direction of the side notches 222 is along the length direction of the shaver head 10a or 10b. Thus, when user applies force on the shaver head 10 in the chamber 21, the shaver head 10 may be slid from the side notched 222, along the length direction of the shaver head 10. Preferably, the top notch 221 and the side notches 222 are communicated with each other, so that the shaver head 10 can be slid from the left side of the right side when the pushing structure 11 is pressed. For making the shaver 100 waterproof, a sealing ring (not shown) is arranged between the connecting plug 23 and the shaver head connection cover 30 and located beneath the side notches 221, and the sealing ring is sleeved on the connecting plug 23 and contacted with the connecting plug 23 and the inner wall of and the shaver head connection cover 30.
