Braun Epilator Silk-épil 7, Hair Removal Device, Women Shaver & Trimmer, Wet and Dry, Wide Head, Includes Shaver Head and Trimmer Comb, SE7-041, Silver

I can’t stand shaving, and going to the salon to wax my legs triggers my social anxiety so my legs get BUSHED. I was very excited to try this epilator. It HURTS. It is seriously like a tiny torture device. I was certain everyone exaggerated and it would be no big deal, I wax, I gave birth... Bro... Minus 1 star for being unreasonably painful. My leg hairs are thick and they were completely grown in. I’m hoping maintenance is less painful than the initial removal 😢 UPDATE: This thing is IT! It hurts (a lot less as you go) but this thing works! Trust me, stick with it, pull your skin taught and get those hairs out. My legs are razor smooth without the razor burn. I can mindlessly remove every hair while watching my phone, it is easy, easy. I will never go to a salon for my leg hairs ever again. Adding that star back because it hurts a lot less as you go. Tolerable. UPDATE AGAIN: I am in love. I will never go back to any other hair removal technique, I don't need a different device, this thing is it. I braved epilating my underarms 2 weeks post-wax. It was basically painless. I did my legs again, also basically painless. This device works so well. It grabs short hairs, thin hairs, it does not care, and it exfoliates my skin. Epilating tips include “not chasing every hair” but this device gel it every single one of my hairs. I’m excited for regrowing leg and underarm hair just so I can epilate again. I am still not brave enough to epilate the bikini area, but there is a trimmer attachment included that works great. I wish I had more stars to give!

Amazing product! If you want a smoothness like you would after a wax, but without the cost of a leg wax, this is it. In the picture is a a little over a week after use, and my legs are still smooth with no growth unlike shaving (for context I do have thicker black/brown hair). This a little painful at first, but I hear it gets better. All in all, I still recommend! Update: After using this a handful of times now, the product is still great. Like I predicted, after several uses it hurts significantly less and my hair is growing in much thinner.

So - I had another, cheaper, epilator that I used for a while. Then it broke and I got another. Then that broke. I can't attest to how long this one will last, but the quality is a ***significant *** step up. The rotating head on this is a game changer. It picks up more hair in each stroke than the cheap one. It is easy to hold. Now, for everyone who gets red bumps or other irritation after shaving, let me change your world. You need to put on aftershave. When I was young, my dad used Aqua Velva after each shave. I loved my dad, and when he would lift me up and hold me, the scent of the aftershave comforted me. I didn't know why he used it back then. I do now!!!! So here's how to make your own totally awesome aftershave, and it works for very sensitive skin which I unfortunately have. You will need: - 16 ounce spray bottle - 8 oz with hazel (sold in every grocery and drug store by the hydrogen peroxide and isopropyl alcohol - and you can order it from here too, I get the Amazon basics one, I order several at a time) - 8 oz water (purified if possible) - 1/2 to 1 teaspoon (per your taste) of either olive oil, jojoba oil, or argan oil (or a combo of them) - 1 or 2 droppers full of essential oil/s of your choice: I use lavender, myrrh, and frankincense. All are soothing oils. Myrrh especially is very soothing, and it works for both women and men in terms of scent in my opinion. I personally would not use something too stimulating, like tea tree oil, peppermint, eucalyptus... but in small amounts they are likely to be fine. Choose scents you like so you will use it more. Tea tree does go really well with lavender as far as the scent goes. Put all of this in the 16oz spray bottle. Shake it up. Now, the oil won't stay mixed, so give it a shake before you put it on. If you are covering a large area, like both your legs, shake it up a few times as you go along. This is the best aftershave/toner in the universe! Witch hazel is amazing. If you want, you can leave the oil out, but having it misted on your skin this way, with witch hazel acting as an astringent, really helps your skin stay soft and conditioned. It really, really, helps with red bumps and other epilator issues that harm the skin. I use this all over my body, and on my face, and I even spray it on my hair and scalp. At night if I'm feeling lazy I just spray this on my face, rub it in, and my face is happy, clear, and toned in the morning. If a pimple was stating to appear, it is gone when I wake up. You don't have to wash your face first. I also use it for cuts, scrapes, scratches, bruises, bug bites... it is very soothing and healing for all of us this. There is no reason to buy expensive toner full of chemicals. They have preservatives, and all kinds of gross stuff in them... it bums me out. And my uber sensitive skin doesn't work with store bought toner at all. So I will update if the epilator doesn't turn out as great as it seems, I just got it and it was so much better than the cheap egg-shaped ones, I felt compelled to share this review. If anyone is one the fence, get this. You want quality when you are ripping your hair out of your body. Capisce? All right, I think I've procrastinated enough building a door for my fence in 90 degree heat. Glad I put on the toner first, or my freshly epilated leges would've been a nightmare outside in the hot and humid midwestern summer.

Definitely need to go slow when starting to use. It’s super easy to use and it’s very effective. I have pcos and am on medication once the hair is gone it generally doesn’t come back, which is nice. Never got the chance to try out the shaver, I dropped it right before I went to use it and the shave attachment piece broke.

Well..... I did it - I used it. It is not as bad as I thought it would be. Did it hurt? yes and no. I had just gotten it - charged it and just want to see how it felt. I was amazed on just having shaved 2 days prior how much hairs it could pull... and how much I suck at shaving my legs with a razor because I must miss a lot. I was able to get some hairs - the feeling is weird - while I would not call it pain-pain, sometimes it felt like it was hot.. sometimes it felt like little shocks. When I kept using it, it seems like your skin gets used to it and it really don't hurt any more. After use I washed my legs with cool-warmish water - not too hot as that hurts more. I then placed palmer's moisturizing cocoa-shea butter oil on my legs and no pain. I had red bumps for a few hours afterwards. I used again 2 days after the 1st time - this time I had a lot more to pull... and it hurt at first - more hair to pull. But it was tolerable and as I said above, you get used to the feeling. I have red bumps and they are hanging around longer than the prior epulation. My daughter tried it on a small batch and she said it felt like getting a tattoo. I would not know how that feels as I have not had one. If you are on the fence about trying it - do it. I am actually excited about using it as I know over time, you get used to it, and the hairs will come in softer and slower. The shaver comes with the epilator head and shaver head. also a brush to clean heads when done. all work well. product is as described.

Ok so it will get your leg hair out, HOWEVER it hurts like crazy the first couple times you use it. It does have the other attachments which are great. I do notice it takes longer for my leg hair to grow back. The first couple times you will have bumps but it gets better as you go. I love that it has a little light which makes it easy to see.

I have used this for the first time on my face and although it was quite painful (as all epilators are) it worked really well. Charged quickly, was easy to clean and has 2 settings. Once I got the hang of it, I was able to quickly remove those pesky face hairs, including the thicker chin hairs that come with older age! I haven't tried it on my legs or other areas yet, but plan to do that soon.

First, this my 6th epilator and my 3rd from Braun. Of the three brands I’ve owned I’ve liked Braun for their quiet effectiveness, build quality, relative battery life, and experience with previous Braun products, such as a 35 year old coffee grinder that still works daily! Second. Braun has offered good product support in the past, and I’m counting on Braun standing behind their products. Braun recently responded in a timely and helpful manner regarding another item. As noted, this epilator is effective but remarkably quiet. I’m very satisfied so far in its performance as well, less irritation than those of previous brands. I will follow up later as to longevity.

Good machine, just wish the battery last more.

Stopped charging after a week

So much easier to use, particularly due to the light. Does not hurt as much as other epilators I've used. Quick and easy to use. Love it.

Very good

Muy buena máquina,
