         2 . Combined hair removal device according to  claim 1 , wherein the electrical hair removal device is realized as an electrical shaving device that comprises a trimmer head having a first toothed blade and a second toothed blade, at least one of the first and second toothed blades being arranged to be driven in an operation mode so as to cut off hairs that feed in between the teeth of the first and second toothed blades. 
     
     
         3 . Combined hair removal device according to  claim 1 , wherein the electrical hair removal device is realized as an electrical shaving device that comprises a shaver head having a sheer foil structure arranged to contact the skin and a blade structure that is arranged to be movable relative to the sheer foil in an operation mode so that hairs that feed in between holes of the sheer foil are cut off or shorn off. 
     
     
         4 . Combined hair removal device according to  claim 1 , wherein the electrical hair removal device is realized as an epilator device that comprises an epilator head having a plurality of pairs of clamping elements that are each arranged so that they can be actuated between an open position in which hairs can feed into a gap between the clamping elements and a closed position in which hairs are clamped between the clamping elements. 
     
     
         5 . Combined hair removal device according to  claim 1 , wherein the electrical hair removal device and the wet shaving device are detachably coupled together so that the elongated handles extend longitudinally side by side over a substantial part of their length. 
     
     
         6 . Combined hair removal device according to  claim 1 , wherein the elongated handle of one of the electrical hair removal device and the wet shaving device has a longitudinally extending recess in which at least a part of the elongated handle of the other of the electrical hair removal device and the wet shaving device is located. 
     
     
         7 . Combined hair removal device according to  claim 1 , wherein at least one of the first and second coupling structures has two or more coupling elements to allow coupling the electrical hair removal device and the wet shaving device in at least the first coupling position and a second coupling position. 
     
     
         8 . Combined hair removal device according to  claim 1 , wherein one of the first or second coupling structures comprises a movable element for selectively moving the electrical hair removal device and the wet shaving device relatively to each other. 
     
     
         9 . Combined hair removal device according to  claim 1 , wherein at least one of the first or second coupling structures comprises a release element provided for releasing the mated first and second coupling structures. 
     
     
         10 . Combined hair removal device according to  claim 1  having a contact arrangement for transferring electrical enemy between the electrical hair removal device and the wet shaving device. 
     
     
         11 . Combined shaving device according to  claim 1 , wherein the electrical hair removal device has a powered vibration motor and a mechanical coupling arranged to transmit vibrations generated by the vibration motor to the wet shaving head of the wet shaving device. 
     
     
         12 . Combined hair removal device according to  claim 1 , wherein the electrical hair removal device comprises an exchangeable electrical hair removal head. 
     
     
         13 . Electrical hair removal device comprising:
 an elongated handle provided for individual operation of the electrical hair removal device and   at least a first coupling structure arranged to detachably couple the electrical hair removal device to at least a second coupling structure of a wet shaving device that has an elongated handle provided for individual operation of the wet shaving device.   
     
     
         14 . Wet shaving device comprising:
 an elongated handle provided for individual operation of the wet shaving device and   at least a second coupling structure arranged for detachably coupling the wet shaving device to at least a first coupling structure of an electrical hair removal device that has an elongated handle provided for individual operation of the electrical shaving device.
