Abstract
A shaving apparatus having a head portion intended for contact with a skin surface to cut hairs growing therefrom. The head portion may include a cylindrical screen and a cutting component located within a cavity defined by the cylindrical screen. The cylindrical screen includes a plurality of openings so that a user's hairs can pass therethrough to be cut by blades of the cutting component. The cylindrical screen may be rotatable about a rotational axis so that as the cylindrical screen is placed into contact with a skin surface and moved therealong, the cylindrical screen is made to rotate about the rotational axis. The shaving apparatus may include a brake sub-system to intermittently reduce a rotational velocity of the cylindrical screen.
