An electric shaver having two spaced shaving heads with a long hair clipper or trimmer positioned therebetween with the trimmer being adjustable to a retracted position or to an extended position in which it is spaced from the shaving heads and is adaptable to trimming sideburns, moustaches and the like. The trimmer is slidably supported on a head frame which is detachably mounted with respect to a motor enclosing housing. The trimmer is spring biased into engagement with cam means carried by the housing and adapted to position the trimmer at various heights with respect to the shaving heads. The shaving heads include foil combs carried by the head frame and spring biased against cutters which are mounted on the housing and supported for reciprocation on friction reducing ball rollers. The motor drives the trimmer and shaving cutters by means of a double eccentric carried by the motor shaft and a pair of coaxially pivoted levers which oscillate in an out-of-phase relationship.
