Braun Epilator Silk-épil 5, Hair Removal Device, Women Shaver & Trimmer, Wet and Dry, Includes Skin Contact Cap, SE5-011, Grey

I'm using this epilator now as I write this (Ouch-ouch-Ow-Ow-Oweeeeeee) review. Whoa!! This is my third time taking it out on the chin, and it does work well. You can do this virtually anywhere at home and I would highly suggest watching a video or something to distract you from the pain while you're doing it. if SM is your thing - go for it.

I did my research on epilators. I had the OG of pain years ago - the EpiLady (the rotating coil) and was that ever torture. I purchased this Braun for the price, and this one does wet/dry. Many negatives were about the pain, but If you Brazilian wax, this is NOTHING. You feel little pulls - I wouldn't call it pain. I used it on my legs, and it's taken a few passes, cause I got tired, not that the battery ran out, but I am happy with results.

Has worked some. Not completely what I expected. Still have to shave with a razor.

Exelente

Ok, so I get waxes in sensitive areas, but I was looking for something for my face. I hate waxing, shaving doesn't last long enough and the hair removal creams suck and burn my face. I got this after reading so many reviews and google searches for something with wax results I can do at home. First time I used it was a couple of days after shaving since it was recommended to have the hair low. It snatched all the hair off my face. It stings, yes. But if you wax, I think you should be able to handle it. My face hasn't been this smooth since before I started growing hair on my face. Once the hair is off, going over that spot will not sting because the hair is gone. I am waiting to see how long it takes to grow back and using a hair inhibitor oil to prevent it from growing back. So far, I love it. Exfoliate, trim first if the hair is not already low, and you should be alright.

First off - I'm a man, I've been looking for years for a good, effective method of hair removal that doesn't destroy my bank account. This is unfortunately not that method.The day I received it I charged it up, and made a first pass over my arms. The results were fantastic. There was some irritation, but nothing beyond the norm for a product like this. I gently exfoliated as suggested, and my arms were smooth and hairless the next day. My second pass came a little over a week later, and the results could not have been more different or disappointing.I did everything exactly as I had done the time before, but this time my arm hairs weren't pulled out, they were cut off at the surface, leaving the follicle under my skin. The result was nearly every hair follicle on both my arms becoming ingrown, leaving them covered in itchy, painful, absolutely awful red bumps.This is now the result of every use of this epilator. No matter how often or how well I clean it, whether I do/don't exfoliate, or if I exfoliate before/after, nothing changes the outcome.I really wanted to like this product, especially after how well the first pass went, but I can't continue to use or recommend an epilator that leaves your skin in such a damaged state.

This does pinch a bit. Not something you use everyday. I don’t find it getting close hair you need to go over it a few times. Need numbing cream or spray for sure.

Does the job removes hair
