In a cleaning mode in which cleaning is performed while rotating the inner blade with a brush disposed inside the razor head, the brush bristles are always in contact with the inner blade, so that the brush is cut during shaving. The generated shavings are splashed off by the brush and scattered outside through the blade holes of the outer cutter. In addition, the tip of the brush is shaved by the rotating inner blade, so that the brush is easily worn out, and replacing the worn out brush takes much time and effort. Since the brush bristles that come into contact with the inner blade increase the rotational resistance of the inner blade, there is a disadvantage that the motor power is wasted wastefully.
