Braun Silk Epil - pros and cons cancel each other out

In addition to the Braun Silk Epil also include supplied a cable that can be used both on the epilator itself and on the charging station for charging, an essay with blade for wet shaving, an essay for "sensitive" locations and a cleaning brush, the whole pretty in a white bag.

Design / lighting / battery:

The appearance is in an epilator Although secondary to the function, but it also does not interfere when it is nice to look at. That's definitely given in this device. It is also easy to clean, the essays are firmly anchored, but can be easily removed by pressing a button. The SmartLight, which I thought at first to be superfluous, has certainly proven to be helpful, because no matter how good the bathroom lighting is a light directly on the skin still shows one or the other hair. From the volume ago can the Braun Silk Epil start in midfield, so not to disturb no slight humming, but enough about the neighbors. The battery lasts an hour to one invites him about 30 minutes (on the package with 45 specified).

The blade cartridge / water purification:

DC in advance should be noted that I do not use the attachment with the blades, because closes me in an epilator the sense of a shaving attachment. This is to remove the last little hair, but I want to have plucked them, why indeed the epilator, no razors.

Since I do not epiliere my legs in the shower, I can not say anything for use thereon. The cleaning of the device under water does support.

Use the leg:

The epilator removes annoying hairs on the leg quickly and relatively painlessly. That twinge should be clear, finally tearing the epilator every second - he comes to the second stage in pretty ride - a lot of hair. But he is compared to my old epilator but quite a bit less painful. The legs are in quite a short time - depending on the hair - smooth (to soothe the skin and keep it soft, so it does not get to the waxing and itching at the hair regrowth, I recommend olive oil and regular sea salt peeling). Irritation of the skin I could not find on the leg.

Use in sensitive areas:

Where you should use the epilator NOT even with the attachment to these bodies, is any area where the skin is softer, in my case, the armpits. Besides but quite a pain, tearing the skin at the points at which the hair grows. It comes to bloody bodies and bruises. Lesson learned, keep epilator.

Overall impression:

Overall, the Braun Silk Epil is well suited as epilator for legs, nice to look at, to use wirelessly and not too loud.

On the other hand it is very expensive, do not use in locations other than the feet (or equivalent) (unless one is hardened) and has the razor a not only superfluous for me but also against intimate function, but this is a subjective sensation.

3 stars.
