1. An electric-powered shaving apparatus comprising:
a housing;
an electric motor;
a short hair cutter;
a long hair trimmer;
a drive part excitable by the electric motor into performing an oscillatory motion, the drive part transmitting its motion for cutting hairs to the short-hair cutter and to the long-hair trimmer, the long-hair trimmer being displaceable relative to the housing into an advanced and a retracted position, wherein the motion of the drive part moves the long-hair trimmer into the advanced position; and
a motion-converting mechanism between the drive part and the long-hair trimmer to divert the oscillatory motion into a direction of displacement of the long-hair trimmer, to move the long hair trimmer into the advanced position.
