Abstract

The invention relates to a shaver head for a wet shaver. The shaver head is arranged at the front end of a handle. A razor blade, in the form of a single or double razor blade, is mounted in the shaver head. The shaver head has a guide strip parallel to and in front of the cutting edges of the razor blades. To achieve a variation of the shaving angle and thus the cutting geometry in a technically simple fashion, the razor blades are arranged in a blade block which is swivelably mounted in relation to the remainder of the body of the shaver head. The blade block is able to swivel freely against a spring force about a swivelling axis parallel to the cutting edges of the blades.
