Abstract
By providing a separate and independent hair trimmer or trimming assembly which is incorporated into a shaver system and is controllably movable directly into a variety of alternate positions for providing enhanced cutting of hair fibers, a substantially improved, close and comfortable shaving system is obtained which effectively cuts both short hair and long hair. By employing a single, multi-positionable, switch member which cooperates with a movement control system incorporated into a trimmer assembly, user control is provided for altering the position of the trimmer assembly for placing the trimmer assembly directly and any precisely desired orientation or location. In addition, in the preferred embodiment, the trimmer assembly incorporates a pair of specially constructed cutting elements formed thereon for providing enhanced cutting and/or trimming capabilities in a wide variety of alternate operations.
