Review (5/5): Utter torture, but you're skin will love you
I have naturally curly hair so I'm highly prone to ingrown hairs. Additionally, I have very sensitive skin. Shaving would leave my legs covered in red bumps the first day and I can't even imagine shaving again within the week.
I've tried waxing my own legs and armpit, but it's just hard to do your own armpits and I find waxing to be expensive and time consuming for legs.
So I went searching for other options. I decided to try an epilator. I started with my armpit (that may have not been the smartest thing) and it was pure torture. However, when I finally finished I was shocked by how smooth my armpit was. And there was no shadow! It looked so good and has lasted a lot longer than shaving, without the irritation.
Then I did my legs, which didn't hurt at all. Once again smooth legs without the irritation. I'm totally sold on epilators. So a quick comment on this one. To be honest the exfoliator head doesn't feel like it helps much and just irritates my skin. I would probably go with the other Braun epilator with the different heads for different parts of your body over this one.
That aside, this one is easy to clean and gets hairs that are shorter than 1/4" (though not too terribly much shorter). The battery really does last at least and hour and the light on it is very helpful. Great product.
