What is claimed is: 1. A shaving foil for a shaving system comprising: a foil support section for support of said foil over a cutting member of said shaving system; and a hair-receiving section having: a plurality of hair-entrance apertures that define at least one amorphous arrangement of aperture

What is claimed is: 1. A shaving foil for a shaving system comprising: a foil support section for support of said foil over a cutting member of said shaving system; and a hair-receiving section having: a plurality of hair-entrance apertures that define at least one amorphous arrangement of apertures that extends across the entirety of said hair-receiving section of said foil; and a plurality of foil surface members that form a network of surface area adjacent to said plurality of hair-entrance apertures wherein each aperture is a different shape. 2. The shaving foil according to claim 1, wherein: the different shaped apertures are polygonal shaped; and said foil surface members comprise a width defined as distance between a point on a first edge of a first hair-entrance aperture and a proximal point on a corresponding edge of a second hair-entrance aperture which is adjacent to said first hair-entrance aperture, wherein: said foil surface members further comprising lengths that remains substantially uniform across a distance that said first edge of said first hair-entrance aperture and said corresponding edge of said second hair-entrance aperture remain substantially parallel. 3. The shaving foil according to claim 1, wherein said foil surface members are so configured such that a combined area of foil surface members within a first designated portion of said hair-receiving section is generally similar to a combined area of foil surface members within a second designated portion of said hair-receiving section where the first and second designated portions are similar in total area of said foil and located at different positions. 4. The shaving foil according to claim 1, wherein said hair-entrance apertures within said amorphous arrangement of apertures are configured such that there is no readily discernable or perceptible pattern to the orientation and size of said shaped apertures within at least one predetermined constraint. 5. The shaving foil according to claim 1, wherein said hair-entrance apertures within said amorphous arrangement of apertures are configured such an orientation of a first one of said different shaped apertures with regard to a neighboring one of said different shaped apertures bears no predictable relationship to that of succeeding different shaped apertures. 6. The shaving foil according to claim 1, wherein said at least one amorphous arrangement of apertures comprises a first amorphous arrangement of apertures within a first portion of said hair-receiving section of said foil, and a second arrangement of apertures in a second portion of said hair-receiving section of said foil, said second arrangement of apertures comprising one of a non-amorphous arrangement of apertures or a second amorphous arrangement of apertures having at least one different constraint than said first amorphous arrangement of apertures. 7. The shaving foil according to claim 1, wherein said hair-entrance apertures within said amorphous arrangement of apertures are arranged such that a distribution of at least one of hair-entrance size, and center to center spacing between adjacent hair-entrance apertures is substantially continuous within said at least one amorphous arrangement of apertures. 8. The shaving foil according to claim 1, wherein said hair-entrance apertures within said amorphous arrangement of apertures include at least one of an area of each hair-entrance aperture in said amorphous arrangement of apertures and a center-to-center spacing of each hair-entrance aperture in said amorphous arrangement of apertures is generally randomly distributed. 9. The shaving foil according to claim 1, wherein said hair-entrance apertures within said amorphous arrangement of apertures include a center-to-center spacing of each hair-entrance aperture in said amorphous arrangement of apertures is generally randomly distributed, wherein a plot of L versus t results in a line having a substantially straight line with a slope of substantially one, wherein: each hair-entrance aperture is assigned a center point; a first center point is designated a reference point; t defines a distance from a current center point to said reference center point; K defines as a number of points within a distance, t λ defines as the number of points per unit area K(t)=λπ2, and L(t)=√{square root over (K(t)/λπ)}. 10. A shaving system comprising: a housing; and a cutting head at a first end of said housing, said cutting head having: a cutting member extending from said housing; a foil frame mated with said housing; and a foil supported by said foil frame so as to be oriented generally over said cutting member, said foil having a hair-receiving section comprised of a plurality of hair-entrance apertures that define at least one amorphous arrangement of apertures each having a different shape and a plurality of foil surface members, wherein: each hair-entrance aperture is at least partially surrounded by associated foil surface members that are interconnected in a network of surface area. 11. The shaving system according to claim 10, wherein said hair-entrance apertures within said amorphous arrangement of apertures are configured such that there is no readily discernable or perceptible pattern to the orientation and size of said different shaped apertures within at least one predetermined constraint. 12. The shaving system according to claim 10, wherein said hair-entrance apertures within said amorphous arrangement of apertures are configured such an orientation of a first one of said different shaped apertures with regard to a neighboring one of said different shaped apertures bears no predictable relationship to that of succeeding different shaped apertures. 13. The shaving system according to claim 10, wherein said hair-entrance apertures within said amorphous arrangement of apertures comprise are configured so as to exhibit no readily discernable organization and regularity of said hair-entrance apertures. 14. The shaving system according to claim 10, wherein said hair-entrance apertures within said amorphous arrangement of apertures include at least one of an area of each hair-entrance aperture in said amorphous arrangement of apertures and a center-to-center spacing of each hair-entrance aperture in said amorphous arrangement of apertures is generally randomly distributed. 15. The shaving system according to claim 10, wherein said hair-entrance apertures within said amorphous arrangement of apertures include a center-to-center spacing of each hair-entrance aperture in said amorphous arrangement of apertures is generally randomly distributed, wherein a plot of L versus t results in a line having a substantially straight line with a slope of substantially one, wherein: each hair-entrance aperture is assigned a center point; a first center point is designated a reference point; t defines a distance from a current center point to said reference center point; K defines as a number of points within a distance, t λ defines as the number of points per unit area K(t)=λλ2, and L(t)=√{square root over (K(t)/λπ)}. 16.
