Shaving apparatus

A shaving apparatus having a circular shear plate provided with hair-entrance apertures and a cutting unit associated with and rotatable relative to the shear plate;

• said cutting unit comprising a cutting member having a circular central body, cutters extending from the circumference of said central body toward the shear plate, each such cutter having a guide wall, a hair-pulling member having a circular central portion, lead cutters respectively associated with and movable relative to the cutters along their respective guide walls, and elastically deformable substantially V-shaped connecting arms respectively securing said lead cutters to said central portion along its circumference, one limb of each connecting arm being secured at its end to said central portion and extending in a substantially tangential direction from said central portion, the other limb being connected at its end to the associated lead cutter, each connecting arm being sufficiently elastically deformed so as to urge its respective lead cutter against the guide wall of the associated cutter, the force thereby exerted on each lead cutter by such elastic deformation of the connecting arm having a component normal to said guide wall and a component directed along said guide wall in the direction of the shear plate.
