Abstract

A dry shaver includes a hand grip and a shaving head supported to the grip. The shaving head carries a foil cutter unit composed of an outer foil and an inner cutter driven to move relative to the outer foil in hair shearing engagement therewith. The outer foil is elongated to have a length and a width, and is arcuately curved along its length. The shaving head is movably supported to the grip so as to be tiltable about a transverse axis parallel to the width of the outer foil. Thus, when the shaving head is pressed against the skin as being inclined, the shaving head is allowed to tilt in a direction of reducing a contact pressure which would otherwise be greater at one longitudinal end than at the other longitudinal end. Therefore, the shaving head can be free from undue dragging at either of the longitudinal ends of the outer foil to be thereby guided smoothly across the skin surface for efficient and comfortable shaving.
