A hair removal device comprising a working head attached to a handle for moving the working head along a skin surface is provided. The working head includes at least one hair removal tool defining a skin contact contour of the working head, wherein the at least one hair removal tool is movable relative to the handle under a skin contact pressure by a support structure to allow for pivoting of the working head's skin contact contour relative to the handle. The support structure movably supporting the hair removal tool relative to the handle is configured to allow for pivoting of the skin contact contour relative to the handle about an angle of about +/−15° or more under a contact force of about 0.75 N or less and/or about an angle of about +/−20° or more under a contact force of about 1.5 N or less.
A hair removal device comprising a working head attached to a handle via a support structure for moving the working head along a skin surface, said working head including at least one hair removal tool defining a skin contact contour of the working head, wherein said working head including said at least one hair removal tool is movable relative to said handle under a skin contact pressure by the support structure to allow for pivoting of the working head's skin contact contour relative to the handle, wherein a biasing device is provided for biasing and providing a motion resistance to the working head frame relative to the handle, said biasing device comprising a biasing element mounted to the handle for biasing and providing a motion resistance to the working head frame relative to the handle, wherein a portion of the biasing element is fixedly mounted to the handle so as to be stationary relative to the handle, wherein said support structure and said biasing device are configured to allow for pivoting about a skin contact contour pivot axis of the skin contact contour relative to the handle, wherein a pivot range adjustment device is mounted to the handle and cooperates with the biasing element for adjusting a pivot angle about which the skin contact contour is pivotable relative to the handle.
