A reciprocating-type electric shaver includes an outer blade, an oscillator that is driven to reciprocate by a motor, and an inner blade that reciprocates in cooperation with the oscillator. The oscillator includes attachment portions that are respectively attached to a main body, a movable base, both end sides of which are supported by the attachment portions via support portions having a substantially U-shape, and a cooperation portion that cooperates with the inner blade. In the respective support portions, a portion on a side connected to the attachment portion in a base portion, which is one linear portion of the U-shape, is formed in flexible oscillating pieces. The respective oscillating pieces are formed to be tilted in a direction orthogonal to a reciprocating direction of the movable base so that a lower portion side of the respective oscillating pieces is open outward in the reciprocating direction of the movable base.
