Review on Braun 5-511 Silk-epil 5 Wet & Dry epilator with starter cap, white/blue by Candra ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

I am completely satisfied, item complies with description.

This epilator (a gift from my husband) is the first one in my life. I have nothing to compare with, only with a razor))), so I write the pros and cons in comparison with a regular razor. The first sensations after contact with the skin were not very pleasant, but after a couple of minutes I got used to it and later I even began to like a slight tingling, it is comfortable in my hand, it is light, I could not use it in the armpit and bikini area, apparently there is too sensitive skin, it was and it hurts and on the piece on which I tried, the irritation did not go away for several days. Another minus, but this is probably individual for everyone, is that there is not enough epilation for a month, for a maximum of 2 weeks and more hairs grow into the skin, but maybe it will get better at the beginning and later. I will definitely continue to use, experiment with skin massage before epilation, use of gels, creams after.

Pros
  • - comfortable to hold in hand - cute design - Nice colour - lightweight and not too noisy - can be used in water - removes even short hairs
Cons
  • - no backlight - does not remove all hairs at once - lack of epilation for a month (maximum 2 weeks)
