The invention relates to a dry-shaver having reciprocating cutters which are associated with at least one shaving section and at least one trimmer, and the cutting surfaces of which are pressed into resilient engangement with cutting surfaces of associated counter-cutters. The receiprocating cutter of the shaving section is located at that side of the associated counter-cutter which faces away from the skin while the cutter of the trimmer is located at that side of the associated counter-cutter which faces toward the skin during use of the dry-shaver. The cutters together form an integral unit while the counter-cutter of the trimmer is mounted on a stationary part of the dry-shaver, preferably on the frame of a shaving head.
In such a dry-shaver, which is described in U.S. Pat. No. 2,870,534,well as in the international arena.  It hosts workshops, symposiums, and conferences on both the regional and international level. Its publications reach out to its membership and other in related fields. The Society reaches out to the future through its scholarship program and student poster competitions.
