A shaving apparatus in which a rotary cutter and a fixed blade are used to shear a user's hairs therebetween during a shaving process. Rotation of the rotary cutter is driven by an electric motor. In certain embodiments, the rotary cutter comprises a cutting tube that comprises a plurality of apertures that are defined by cutting edges which form a closed-geometry. In other embodiments, a lubricating element is coupled to the rotary cutter. In further embodiments, the apertures are arranged in a pattern to control the number and selection of apertures that are capable of being active to shear hairs at any one time. In even further embodiments, the fixed blade is integrally formed with the housing of the head; the housing is formed by a plurality of flat plate segments; the rotary cutter is formed by a plurality of stacked flat plate segments; and/or the fixed blade can reciprocate.

A multi-cutting element shaving device is disclosed. The device comprises a handle and a head portion comprising at least two cutting assemblies, which are mounted in parallel, to one another on a frame of the head portion. The cutting assemblies include each a cylindrical screen and a blade housed in the cylindrical screen. Each of said cylindrical screens is rotatable about a respective longitudinal symmetry axis thereof, and the rotation of each cylindrical screens is manually effected by translating the head portion along a surface with the cylindrical screen contacting the surface so that substantially no sliding, of the cylindrical screens occurs as the head portion is translated against the surface. The head portion mounting angle relative to the handle is changeable during use of the shaving device such that both cylindrical screens are simultaneously maintained in contact with the surface, which is being shaved.

The present invention relates to a beard trimmer having a handle and a cover, as well as a cutting system with one or more vertical axis rotary cutting heads, said rotary cutting heads having a moving blade and a fixed blade, each head being surrounded by a crown-shaped comb, said comb being adjustable in height in order to adjust, in use, the distance between said blades and the skin, and thereby to adapt the cutting of the beard to the desired length, characterized in that the cover is movably mounted between a closed position and an open position on said handle such that the cover can be moved from an open position to a protection position where it is flush with the comb tines in order to store the device.
