Epilator Braun Silk Epil 7

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had never tried an epilator before. Thanks to Bzzagent and Braun I was able to try the silk epil 7 for review purposes. I will admit, when I got it in the mail I was terrified. However after trying it out it was not too painful. I did have to go ovver the same area a few times, but it got the job done. My skin felt smooth for days. I recommend it.

Braun Silk epil 7

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I just received my Braun Silk epil 7 in the mail yesterday and tried it out this morning. At first it was a little painful which I expected since this is effectively a tweezing machine but after a few minutes you get more used to it. It was very easy to use and the results are great! My legs are smooth and silky and no stubble whatsoever. I can't wait to see how long these results last. It took a little longer than shaving but not much and if my legs stay hair free for weeks like they say than I'll have saved tons more time in the long run. I was skeptical that it would work well on my fine blonde hairs but it worked great! I have had an older model from a different company in the past but Braun's seems to work much better. I love it!

Braun, has to be the best

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have always been a happy Braun customer. But for some time I thought to try on some other brands out there, not a wise decision as i got ingrown hairs and all.
So happy to get the Braun Silk Epil7 to test and review. My legs feel soft and silky again. Its so gentle on my sensitive skin and I also use it for my underarms in the shower. The little led light is also a great feature. It helps me see all the little hairs as I go up slowly. Two speed options and different attachments for face too. Just a wonderful product. Would definitely buy a Braun next time.

Compared to my Epilady...

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] the Braun epilator is amazing!
I left my Epilady on the bathroom counter once and my boyfriend, like all boys, was incredibly curious and turned it on. I think I heard a mild shriek, oh, and then something that sounded like terror and it was off. I explained to my slightly mortified boyfriend that epilators are amazing. It takes a little longer than shaving because you have to go over certain spots a few times but there are some serious advantages to not having to shave. I spend substantially less having to buy razors, new blades, and shaving cream. My "shave" lasts longer. And I feel like there isn't a lot of stubble when the hairs start to grow back. I loved my Epilady. Until I met the Braun.
Trying the Braun silk-epil was such a different experience. For starters, it's so much quieter! Even on the highest setting, it's substantially less "grinding" than the Epilady. But that doesn't mean it performs worse, in fact, it's just the opposite! The Braun is able to hug around those annoying to reach places like the kneecaps and behind the knee. Like a man's electric shaver, it just effortlessly glides around and you're left with amazingly smooth skin! So unlike the Epilady...I have to bend and twist and contort to get my skin straight so I can get those areas; and I'm pretty convinced that it's left me with a few ingrown hairs! And it hurts. Epilating is painful the first time, period. My Epilady plucks very efficiently but I can feel it. I could feel tugs with the Braun but it was so much more gentle.
The Braun comes with a selection of seven attachments. The Epilady comes with 2 attachments; one with a guard and one without. I never found much of a difference in either of them, so I hardly every swap them out. The Braun has the tweezer and the shaver and the tweezer has 4 attachments and the shaver one. It took a little of swapping and popping and I looking at some pictures and the manual to figure all of them out, but a couple of them are pretty handy!
The tweezer head comes with "massaging rollers" that I really enjoyed. There are a couple of attachments that minimize the surface area the tweezers can pluck. One said it's for the face and another for sensitive areas like the bikini line. Not going to lie, I used the facial one and per the instructions, you definitely want to put it on the lowest setting or you'll look like a 16 year old girl who just made out with a guy with the world's prickliest beard. What I liked most about these attachments is that there's an arrow so you know which side is which. It's pretty error proof and super easy to detach and swap with a different attachment.
When switching to the shaver attachment, there's a button on the top to eject the tweezer attachment. The shaver attachment comes with a plastic guard I think is meant for longer hair and looks like something my boyfriend uses when he shaves his head. I tried the shaver on a little bit of hair I found on my leg and it works but it was as "instant" as the tweezer head.
There are two other features of the Braun I really appreciated having. One was the built in light. I like shaving in a bright room. Like surgical lighting bright. Never mind that I'm almost blind but I need to see those hairs! The light was nice to see where the hairs are but if you're in a room darker than the light on the epilator, your eyes do some crazy adjusting as you're shaving. The other feature I liked is that at the bottom of the Braun, there's a + and - sign. It's actually a battery indicator. It started flashing red after my hours of experimenting and I realized it needed to be charged. Even though the battery is low, the device doesn't slow down unlike the Epilady. The Epilady just moves slower and sounds like it is dying. The Braun just kept purring at it's same speed but just flashed red at me to let me know that it needed juice.
Braun provides a quality product true to their name. The device is slick, fits nicely in your hand, has multiple attachments to choose from, and provides a smooth shave. It's quiet. It's gentle. And best of all you get a pouch to carry it, and all it's pieces, in.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My Silk épil 7 came today, and had to try it as soon as I opened the box (I was very happy it came pre-charged so I could satisfy my need for instant gratification ;-)
Initial impressions: the Silk épil 7 is outstanding! I've been performing some combination of shaving, epilating, and/or waxing over the past many years, and this gave me the best results I've gotten so far! I was a little reticent at first, because I had a Braun Epil a few years ago that was just ok, but I wanted to give the new one a try, and I'm so happy I did. This Silk épil 7 has so many great features, and it's performance exceeded my expectations. The additional accessories are a nice bonus, and the light is such a thoughtful addition (yikes! I hate to think about how much I've been missing with previous treatments...)
I tried it on my legs and face, and used the massaging cover as well as the sensitive area cover, and got the same great results with different combinations of accessory. I highly recommend the Braun Silk épil 7 to anyone, and look forward to using it again!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was actually nervous to try this product. I have never used anything like this before. I have always shaved & dealt with the cuts & scrapes left by dull or old razors. When I received it in the mail, it was really cute & feminine. My Husband used it on a small spot on his arm to help me feel more at ease about trying it. His hair is very thick & course. He was surprised at how easy & painless it was to use. He tried both settings & said the higher speed was a bit more comfortable. However, both settings were not bad. I decided it was my turn. The hair on my arms is really fine & light, so I started there. I was pleasantly surprised as well. It was easy & relatively painless. I would much rather use this than take my chances on cutting myself with razors forever. The results are so much longer lasting than shaving. It was close to 12 days before I needed to use it again. Comparing that to the price of razors & how often you have to replace them it's a no brainer. Thank You for giving me this amazing product!!!! I will be telling everyone I know how wonderful the Braun Silk epil 7 is!!!

Braun Aquila Silk-epil 7

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This product works great for thicker hair. But on thin hair, it does not get every single hair. Just like any other shaving product I have used. But I just go over it once more, and that takes care of it. The best part is, the hair stays away for a while and I don't have to buy other products to use with it to maximize my results(shaving cream, etc...)! I don't think I will be using another shaving product!
