A shaving apparatus comprises a housing having a top surface, and a holder together with a retaining element provided with three triangularly arranged cutting units. Provision is made for engaging the retaining element with the holder with the cutting units therebetween to form a unitary body detachable from the top surface of the housing. Three stepped recesses are arranged 120.degree. apart in the peripheral wall of the retaining element, each recess having two steps. Three stops are arranged 120.degree. apart on the top surface of the housing. The holder body can be mounted on the housing in three positions, the stops on the housing engaging one of the two steps in the retaining element recesses in each of two of such positions and engaging the peripheral wall of the retaining element in the remaining position, the axial distance between the retaining element and the holder thereby being varied.
