Great Improvements in Epilators!
I HAVE been enjoying it! I can't believe how smooth it leaves my legs!  It's about 10 days since I last used it on my legs, and they feel as good as fairly soon after the old days of shaving.  The first time I used it, I got pretty good results, but the second time and since, it's been much better, as I get the feel of the appliance.  It is so nice to be all done with a shower, then realize the old days of "Oh man, I was going to shave, and I forgot!" and dealing with that are done!  I can use the appliance ANY time, especially for a quick "touch up."  OK, on with the list.<br /><br />Braun Silk-epil 7<br />Skin Spa:  Epilation and Sonic Exfoliation System<br /><br />Pros:<br />--LOVE the light, which is bright enough to illuminate the area being worked on (with they had those on my old electric razor of long ago)<br />--Feels comfortable in your hands--not too heavy, either<br />--The safety issue--that you can't use the appliance when charging, thereby greatly lessening the chance of shock---is very smart<br />--Performance of epilator is fabulous---really gets to the smallest of hairs!<br />--Love the fact that it can be used dry OR wet<br />--Really detailed and accurate instructions, including simple illustrations<br />--Have only used the exfoliator feature (the brush) once, but it is very nice to have--gentle on skin, but effective<br />--Love the way the epilator pivots to move across body parts pretty easily<br />--The carryall bag is great, as it holds everything in it---makes storage much easier (I didn't notice that at first, and put it all back in the box, then had to find a place to store the box.  Second time, I saw the bag, all rolled up in plastic---"Hello, what's this?"---and realized I could just keep the instruction sheet and ditch the bulky box!<br />--It IS really gentle and comfortable to use---I was expecting even more tingling, or a little discomfort, but was pleasantly surprised.<br />--Recharges pretty quickly<br /><br />Cons:<br />--Sometimes (esp. in the underarm area) the pivoting heads can "catch" and sort of lock up briefly on your skin. I think it's due to not getting ALL deodorant residue off (which is sometimes hard to do with today's antiperspirants).<br />--Don't know if it's just because I don't have as much hair anymore or not, but it's a little tricky to tell if the epilator is truly free from hair residue. Have to assume it IS clean, if I followed their cleaning instructions<br /><br />That's all!  As you can tell, I don't have much I DON'T like about it.  Maybe they could include an exfoliator brush that IS approved for the face, so it could be a facial exfoliator as well as for the body? (more versatility)
