Abstract: A shaving apparatus has plurality of shaving heads, each with a rotatable cutting member (5) associated with and rotatable relative to a shear plate (3). For driving the cutting members (5), a plurality of drive units (9) is provided, each of said units extending at least from drive rim (7) engaged for driving the drive unit to a coupling end (27) coupled to one of the cutting members (5) for transmitting a rotation of the drive unit (9) to the cutting member (5). The drive rims (7) of the drive units (9) are suspended for rotation about axes of rotation (20) that are oriented at angles relative to each other and diverge from each other in a direction from the drive rim (7) to the coupling (27).
