Braun Silk-epil SuperSoft Plus Body System Hair Remover ER 1393 Electric Shaver

Pros: does a nice job, good features
Cons: it is loud and you have to follow the instructions!

I know, I know. What’s a guy doing a review on a ladies personal hygiene product for?

Some of you may have read my review entitled, If you like your legs bare then you have to use Nair that I wrote on October 6, 2000. In that article,...

Pros: The shaving attachment, but this is a stretch!
Cons: Painful, noisy, expensive, misses a lot of hair, hair has to be long

Background:
Like many women, I am in search of the perfect hair removal device. I want something that lasts longer than shaving or depilatories and is less expensive than waxing or laser hair removal.

At $60, this device costs...

Pros: long lasting results; gentle for an epilator;
Cons: reputation of this type of hair removal

The Braun silk-epil is a hair removing system that works like mass plucking. If you've read my review of Epilady, the original and first mass-plucking product on the market, you know that I strongly recommend this type of hair removal. I...

Pros: easy, almost pain-less
Cons: pricey

Remember when Epilady first came out? It soon became known in my circle of friends as the "Torture Machine". It was excruciatingly painful. First you had to grow out your leg hair until you resembled a Neanderthal, then the Epilady was slow...

Pros: very convenient, effective
Cons: slightly painful, loud

I purchased this almost immediately as it came into the market although it seemed pricey at first but that's the cost you gotta pay for any new item which comes in the market. I must say that it has been a good purchase. I like silk epil because of the...

Pros: New hair is finer, lasts longer than shaving, small red bumps initially.
Cons: Kinda painful, noisy.

I am a pretty hairy woman. I used to be a pretty hairy child. I have very thick, dark hair. I have as much arm hair as half the guys in my company. I hate it! My hair also grows very fast. Many women can go atleast a day with silky smooth legs....

Pros: Works great on the coarse hair, results last longer than shaving
Cons: Misses the fine hair, causes ingrown hairs

I have a tattoo on my leg, so I try to make sure my legs are smooth and moisturized at all times. (You never know when someone is going to ask if they can see it!) Last spring, after growing unhappy with the amount of time I was spending shaving in the...

Pros: Easy, Soft Hair Removal
Cons: None

Let's face it, shaving is a part of most peoples daily lives. I purchased the Braun-epil Silk Super Soft Hair Removal System, because I get tired of having to shave my legs and arms every day. I love this! It actually removes hair from my...

Pros: Legs stay smooth much longer than shaving
Cons: Misses hairs, causes rash, and painful

After getting sick and tired of shaving all of the time in the summer I decided to try the Braun Silk-Epil hair remover. I was determined to use it no matter how painful I had heard it could be, and it was painful. In fact, I had to get drunk first...

Pros: NO MORE STUBBLE
Cons: First time hurts

I have to admit, I was a little nervous about buying a product that yanks your hair out by the roots. I purchased the Braun because I know their reputation for quality products.
The first time I used it I almost took it back. No doubt about it, it...

Pros: Long lasting
Cons: Time consuming, misses some hair

I'm a woman on a mission: for an effective alternative to shaving. I have very coarse hair on my legs, which grows back very quickly after shaving. I've tried the original Epilady (OUCH!), but I heard that the Braun Silk - Epil is much gentler.
...

Pros: handy
Cons: limited to body hair

A friend of mine recommended this to me to remove body hair, so I bought it. I don't know how she managed to use it but it hurts like hell! But continuous usage reduces the pain (just like waxing). Never ever use this on your face since the rotor moves...

Pros: New hair grows in more fine and more slowly
Cons: Slight discomfort, and overnight "rashy bumps" that go away (I have sensitive skin)

The lure of getting rid of coarse leg hair PLUS reduced frequency of shaves, caused me to try this product. I originally bought it because I planned to spend alot of time in a bathing suit and shorts out on a boat, and liked the thought that, my pulling...

Pros: Effects last much longer than majority of products on the market
Cons: None

Shaving my bony legs has always been traumatic for me. From the first time I shaved until 2 years ago (about 35 years) I could never go through one time without getting nicked or scraped and I never could get all of the hair around my knee area. Then I...

Pros: Eliminates Constant Shaving
Cons: Takes some getting used to

If you can persist past the initial pain (which reduces as your body gets becomes accustomed to the new sensation and there is less regrowth) this product does a great job. I will never return to shaving again. \

One of the downsides to...
