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).
