So far I've had other epilators, but I like this the best so far! When one thinks of epilation, given me the most unpleasant thoughts already, because it actually is pretty painful. When Braun Silk-Epil 9 the pain, however, strongly kept within limits. And the best part is that it was definitely worth it, because the result is truly outstanding. No regrowth for several weeks. And under water it is more enjoyable ;-) I'm really pleased.
