Abstract

A hair removal apparatus is described having a trimmer ( 4 ), whereby the trimmer ( 4 ) has at least two cutting parts ( 7, 8 ) each having rows of teeth drivable individually relative to one another, and having at least one wet shaver unit ( 21 ), which has at least one sharp-edged razor blade ( 22 ). The wet shaver unit ( 21 ) is arranged on a carrying element ( 19 ) that is guided movably on the housing ( 1 ). The carrying element is adjustable by the user in at least two different positions through a corresponding switching movement. The first position is a storage position of the wet shaver unit and the second position allows simultaneous removal of hair by the trimmer ( 4 ) which is leading in the direction of use (P) and the trailing wet shaver unit ( 21 ).
