Abstract

The invention relates to a hair removal device such as for example an electric shaver or a wet shaver, comprising a main device element (10, 20) which accounts for the major portion of the overall weight, and a separate element (30, 40) which can be coupled therewith and which comprises for example a wet-shave blade cartridge (40). The separate element (30, 40) is connected to the main device element (10, 20) via a coupling (23, 33). Said coupling (23, 33) is designed to open under the effect of forces that exceed a minimum force. When the hair removal device (100) is dropped, the separate element (30, 40) is not damaged despite the comparatively greater weight of the hair removal device.
