An electric dry shaver with an inner blade block including a parallel array of semiconductor shearing blades and reciprocally driven along inner surface of a flexible thin outer blade mounted substantially in a semicylindrical shape of an outer blade block by means of a vibrating device through a reciprocal driving shaft detachably and resiliently connected to a connecting means pivotably provided in the inner blade block substantially at the center of gravity thereof. The connecting means is pivoted to the inner blade block at an axis passing substantially the center of gravity and intersecting at right angles longitudinal axis of the semicylindrical outer blade in a plane perpendicular to a plane including reciprocal directions of the driving shaft and the connection of the driving shaft to the connecting means is performed at a position adjacent the pivoting axis of the latter.
