Braun Silk·épil 9 9-000 White/Flamingo

After years of shaving, I have now decided to try an epilator. When testing this Braun epilator, I was immediately struck by its ease of use. The epilator fits well in the hand and is easy to use. Because the epilator is wireless, you don't have to hassle with cables. The attachments are easy to place and move flexibly with the curves of your body. Depending on the pressure applied, the epilator adjusts the speed. You can see that Braun has really thought of everything. This epilator is waterproof and equipped with a light. At first I didn't really know what the light is good for, but when you use it you immediately notice the benefit. The light gives you direct light on the area to be depilated and you can really see whether there are still hairs. Very handy! Everything can be easily stored in the included storage bag. In terms of use, I really have to get used to it. Epilation is a completely different hair removal technique than shaving. The epilator removes larger, thicker hairs very well and effectively, but it has more difficulty with smaller or thin hairs. As a result, certain areas need to be treated more often. In my opinion, the end result is not as perfectly smooth as with a good shave, but on the other hand, the effect of a shave wears off more quickly, because stubble quickly forms. You don't have to worry about that when epilating. When using the epilator, the end result is longer lasting. However, epilation can be sensitive or sometimes painful. It therefore helps to epilate in the shower. Only epilating the armpits and bikini line remains too painful for me. But apparently this has also been taken into account: an extra attachment has been included with which you can also simply shave certain body parts. All in all, this Braun epilator is an excellent addition for me, but I think that the preference for a particular hair removal technique is very personal. Good service from Coolblue, fast delivery and after receiving the epilator I received an email with the subject "How to get started with your epilator" with useful tips for epilation. Especially if you are new to epilation, these tips are really ideal.
