Claim:
1. A shaving head for use in a shaving device for removing hairs from skin by cutting through the hairs, said shaving head comprising at least one cutting unit and a holder configured to hold the at least one cutting unit, said holder being adapted to be mounted on a body portion of the shaving device, said body portion being configured to be held by a user of the shaving device and being adapted to accommodate one or more members of the shaving device; where the at least one cutting unit comprises an external cutting member having a surface configured to contact skin during a shaving action and having openings configured to allow hairs to pass; where the at least one cutting unit further comprises an internal cutting member, said internal cutting member being drivable for movement along the openings in the surface of the external cutting member and being adapted to cut through hairs during such movement; and where the external cutting member is suspended relative to the holder through a suspension assembly comprising: a first suspension member being tiltable with respect to the holder about a tilting axis (c), the tilting axis (c) extending into a circumferential area of the at least one cutting unit at a side of the at least one cutting unit, said side being proximal to a central axis of the shaving head; and a second suspension member being tiltable with respect to the first suspension member about a tilting axis (d), where said tilting axis (d) extends in a direction relative to said tilting axis (c) for enabling tilting of the second suspension member cooperatively with said first suspension member; where the first and second suspension members have respective first and second pivoting stiffness threshold values that need to be exerted to effect a tilting movement about respective ones of the tilting axes (c) and (d), the threshold value for effecting tilting of the second suspension member about axis (d) being lower than the threshold value for effecting tilting of the first suspension member about the axis (c), and where the external cutting member of the at least one cutting unit is mounted to the second suspension member.
