The invention relates to a hair removing apparatus (1) comprising two co-operating hair processing members (17, 19), which are movable relatively to each other in a direction of movement (X). The hair processing members comprise, respectively, a first plate-shaped carrier (21) and a second plate-shaped carrier (27), which extend substantially parallel to the direction of movement. The two carriers are positioned with respect to each other, viewed in a Z direction substantially perpendicular to the carriers, by means of a plurality of positioning members (29), which are arranged so as to be some distance apart, viewed in a direction parallel to the direction of movement. At least one of the two carriers has a comparatively low bending stiffness. As a result, a comparatively small and uniform gap is present between the two carriers, and the friction force acting on the carriers in a direction parallel to the direction of movement is also comparatively small. |
