Definitions

• the invention relates to a system with an electric shaver and a guide device. Furthermore, the invention relates to a guide device for such a system.
• the shaver apparatus In order to achieve a good shaving result with an electric shaver and to give the user the feeling of a comfortable shave, it is necessary that the shaver apparatus can be smoothly guided over the skin. In addition, the angle the shaver encloses during shaving with the skin surface should be within a razor-dependent range.
• an electric razor which has a short-hair shearing system and two long-hair shearing systems.
• the short-hair shearing system is arranged between the two long-hair shearing systems, based on the direction of movement of the shaving device intended for the shaving process.
• a disk is rotatably arranged on each side of the shearing systems.
• the discs are oriented so that they roll during shaving on the skin.
• the laterally mounted discs facilitate a uniform movement of the rake apparatus over the skin.
• the shaver appliance will be tilted at an unfavorable angle to the skin surface and thus there will be no optimum operating conditions for the shaver's shaving systems.
• This in turn has a negative impact on the razor result.
• the maintenance of an optimum angle between the shaver and the surface of the skin has a significant effect on the shaving result.
• there are already known razors with relatively large-scale shear heads in which the maintenance of an optimal angle to the skin surface is not too great difficulty.
