Shaving foil for a dry shaver

摘要

A shaving foil (31) for a dry shaver has a plurality of perforations (32) arranged in an array. The shaving foil is formed in its skin contact surface with a plurality of recesses (130) which define a thin section of reduced thickness at the recesses, while leaving thick sections (132) at the remainder of the foil. Each perforation is configured to have its circumference defined partly by the thin section and partly by the thick section. Both of the thin and thick sections can come into contact with a user's skin for smoothly guiding hairs into the perforations to make close shaving without irritating the skin, while the shaving foil is moved across the skin. Especially, the thin sections act to cut the hairs shorter than the thick section, as well as to raise flattened hairs into the perforations for successfully cutting the flattened hairs.
