An image forming apparatus for forming a latent image on a photosensitive member, developing the latent image by a developing device, transferring the developed image onto a sheet, and cleaning a residual toner remaining on the photosensitive member after transferring by the developing device. The image forming device has a shaver which shaves the surface of the photosensitive member within a range of about 2 mu m or greater but less than 15 mu m, within 7,000 rotations of the photosensitive member. Further the toner for developing the latent image satisfies the following conditions: 55 DEG C.</=Tg 80 DEG C.</=Ti</=120 DEG C. 100 DEG C.</=Tm</=135 DEG C., wherein Tg is a glass transition temperature, Ti is a softening point at a moment a plunger of a flow tester starts to drop, and Tm is a softening point at a moment the plunger of the flow tester has dropped 6 mm.
