I am a user of the "first hour" ..... Electric epilators! I started with the first Calor (round strength "iron" Awesome .... because he was the first, but the full horror at the "suffering" because we had the feeling that he tore skin along the hair ... "Once the first Épil Braun Silk came out I made the purchase .... much more convenient and easy to handle (as the razor for men .. .qu'elle is the woman who has not used the razor from her husband?) I was conquered immediately because significantly less painful than that mentioned above, and especially much easier manipulation. I m 'm separated after 16 years of loyal service, while he still worked, because I wanted a more modern and especially wireless ..... I took a Calor, of which I have been satisfied, good waxing and especially freedom of use as more "strings attached." He followed me everywhere and I had it in my handbag (small retouching at the last minute and I was quiet .. .. But because there is always a but, I quickly became disillusioned because the charging time dwindled as the months and I had to prevail the charger with me) After three years I purchased a Calor (dual-use wired and wireless) as there were small rollers for flaking skin and thus make it more gentle ... I was very happy is for almost 13 years. Besides, he was still in operation until now, but it slowed down more and more and the time of depilation stretched. So I decided to buy me one. The choice was difficult because after reading all the comments of all brands on Amazon I did not know which one to choose !!! Finally after several days of reflection and after the pros and cons of much of what I was looking, I opted for the Silk Épil 5 with the cooling glove! (Which in fact I could easily have pass me because after trial, personally, he is useless as me I'm so used to the electrolysis for nearly 40 years, I hardly feel "light tingling "products waxing!) Finally, I am delighted with my purchase because the price is reasonable and the Braun material of excellent quality. The accessories needed to fully use my (legs, armpits and above the lips). The secret of a good waxing is that moving into the early days, once or twice a week for 2 or 3 months, and then you will realize very quickly that the hair soften, become clearer, softer and a waxing once every two weeks, then once a month is enough. Small precision, never forget to put a cream on the skin after use it very quickly soothe any tingling or possibly mild redness due to waxing (but that you use the razor, depilatory cream, the expert hands of a beautician or electric epilator should always do!) The wire is of good length. I could have 5 stars! No, because the bag to store equipment is too small and inconvenient ...
