Abstract
A rotary shaving head having a one-piece cup-shaped metal body including a comb portion. A plurality of openings in the comb portion are defined by opposed sidewalls, the intersection of at least one sidewall of at least one of the openings with an inner surface of the comb portion defining a cutting edge having a positive rake angle. A rotary shaving head manufacturing method includes the steps of etching a set of openings corresponding to a shaving head blank into an elongate flat metal strip, forming the blank into a cup-shaped unfinished shaving head, and removing material from the inner surface of the comb portion of the unfinished shaving head.

A shaving head for a rotary shaver, said shaving head comprising:
- a one-piece, generally cup-shaped metal body having an internal cavity for receiving a rotary cutter, a comb portion comprising an outer surface for contacting skin to be shaved and an inner surface in part defining the internal cavity, the comb portion having a plurality of openings therein defined by opposed sidewalls having respective generally arcuate surfaces, the comb portion having a thickness in the range of about 0.0025 inches to about 0.0055 inches, the sidewalls generally curving inward toward each other in a concave manner as the openings extend from the outer surface of the comb portion toward the inner surface thereof,
- the intersection of at least one sidewall of at least one of said openings with the inner surface of the comb portion of the body defining a cutting edge having a positive rake angle, wherein the shaving head further comprises an annular sidewall depending from the comb portion of said shaving head, the shaving head sidewall having a thickness, the thickness of the comb portion of the shaving head being substantially less than the thickness of said sidewall of said shaving head.
