US Patent 6889437 Shaving system for a dry shaver

A shaving system for a dry shaver has at least one long-hair cutter arranged between shaving units for short-hair cutting. The shaving units for short-hair cutting each include an upper blade and a lower blade, which can be moved relative to one another by a drive. The long-hair cutter is formed from at least two cutting elements that can be moved relative to one another and are arranged one beside the other. The cutting elements of the long-hair cutter are each of comb-like design, and their rows of cutting teeth, which are formed by tines, are oriented essentially perpendicularly to the skin which is to be shaved.
