The present invention is concerned with a hybrid epilator device that comprises at least a razor blade (80) having a sharp edge for cutting hairs, an epilation cylinder (11) comprising at least a pair of clamping elements (12) that during operation are actuated by an actuation system (121, 122, 119, 120) between an open position and a closed position so that hairs can feed into the gap between the pair of clamping elements (12) in the open position and are gripped and plucked out from the skin surface (90) when the pair of clamping elements (12) is in the closed position, and a manually operable adjustment mechanism (110; 19) that has a least a first adjustment and a second adjustment such that in the first adjustment and the second adjustment the skin surface (90) can be simultaneously contacted by the sharp edge of the razor blade (80) and an circumferential area of the epilation cylinder (11), while the angular position (a; a'; a") at which the closed position of the pair of clamping elements (12) is assumed with respect to the skin surface (90) during regular operation is different in the first and second adjustment. This allows switching at least between two different epilation efficiencies of the epilation cylinder (11). |
