<p>The present invention concerns a hybrid epilator device that comprises an epilation unit (10) for gripping and plucking hairs (91) from a skin surface (90), at least a razor blade (80) having a sharp edge for shaving off hairs growing on the skin surface (90), the sharp edge defining a use direction (U) along which it is effectuated that hairs are shaved off when the razor blade (80) is drawn over the skin surface (90) during operation, wherein the razor blade (80) is arranged behind the epilation unit (10) with respect to the use direction (U). The epilation unit (10) and the razor blade (80) are mounted for simultaneous contact with the skin surface (90), where during operation the epilation unit (10) grips and plucks out hairs (91) from the skin surface (90) and subsequently the razor blade (90) shaves off remaining hairs growing on the same skin surface (90) in a single stroke. The hybrid epilator device further comprises a control unit (20) for controlling the epilation unit (10) such that a certain epilation efficiency is achieved. This allows in particular to vary the epilation efficiency and thus to adapt the hybrid epilator device to different user preferences.</p> |
