A shaving unit for a shaving apparatus includes at least first and second cutting units which respectively include first and second external cutting members having a plurality of hair entry openings respectively defining first and second shaving tracks. The cutting units further include first and second internal cutting members which are rotatable relative to, respectively, the first and the second external cutting members about first and second axis of rotations, respectively. The first cutting unit is pivotal about a first primary pivot axis which, seen in a direction parallel to the first axis of rotation, is arranged between the first shaving track and the second axis of rotation. Similarly, the second cutting unit is pivotal about a second primary pivot axis which, seen in a direction parallel to the second axis of rotation, is arranged between the second shaving track and the first axis of rotation.
