Braun Silk-épil 5 Lady Shaver, 3-in-1 Electric Shaver, Trimmer and Exfoliation System with Trimmer Cap, Wet & Dry, UK 2 Pin Plug, 5-560, Violet

I LOVE this. I used Braun's epilator first for a while which worked rather well to a certain degree but was so painful. With continues use every day or so, you do get use to the pain on your legs but anywhere else and it still hurt so bad. I stopped using it after a few months because every time I used it, it would leave me looking like I had a really bad allergic reaction all over my body, it was really bad, unattractive and painful. So long story short, I've battled with hair removal issues my entire life (I've even invested thousands in having laser hair removal, which did NOT WORK) I also have a problem with ingrown hairs, about 80% of the hairs on my body are ingrown and I feel laser treatment made it worse. I've been to doctors, they've just told me to deal with it and there's nothing they can do, I've tried lotions, potions and solutions and nothing has worked. I should also note I exfoliate on a regular bases. Anyway, back to the topic, for the hair that wasn't ingrown, this worked well to get rid of it, nicer and safer than razors and didn't leave me in a rash like the epilator. Cost effective too.

This was a birthday gift (chosen by me) and I am really pleased with it. I had a Braun Lady Shaver years ago, and I loved it, but I broke it (not Braun's fault - my clumsiness!) and at the time I couldn't find a replacement in the shops. I bought other brands of shaver, but they all ripped my underarms to shreds (no matter how careful I was, and I am not a very hairy woman anyway!) I search Amazon and found this Shaver, it is perfect - I only use it for my Underarms & Legs and it has settings for these. I have not caught myself once, and it is a really close shave, my legs are lovely and smooth again. I have not used it wet, as that does not appeal to me. Once you have done the initial charge, it recharges quickly and seems to last quite a while (sorry, didn't take any notice as to specifics!?!) I am really happy with it, and I was talking to my Mum, and she wanted one, so I bought her the Battery version (which she prefers to rechargeable) - it works just as good as this one. Braun make the perfect Shaver for me (and my mum!).

This is a very stylish looking shaver. It feels lovely to hold and can be used anywhere because it is cordless. The on/off button slides easily and doesn't slip when on. There is also a switch to choose between legs/arms and the more sensitive areas of armpits and bikini area. The shaver works with both a trimmer and a shaver foil which both work together. With no attachments on, the trimmer glides painlessly across the skin and the shaver follows up to smooth out the hair. The charger requires a shaver plug adaptor. Fully charged mine managed to do 2 full legs, 3 half legs and whole bikini area. I would have liked it to last a bit longer.It comes with 3 attachments. One is for leg shaving and has an exfoliating bar at the back. I didn't find this particularly helpful but it does keep the trimmer at the correct angle. The next is just a shaving one so it's similar to the exfoliating one but without the exfoliating strip. The last one is a trimmer so you can neaten up the bikini area to the same length. All clip on/off easily and are easy to clean.I haven't yet managed to get a 'close shave' compared to a razor but you'd only know by feeling my skin. It is a little tricky to use in the bikini area as you have to angle it right which can be difficult with your legs in the way. It takes me longer to use this shaver than it does to use a razor but I love being able to have a shower without the hassle of shaving.All in all, a good enough shaver but doesn't achieve a close shave.

Bought this for my wife after discovering that the foil on her older model had a piece missing which can cause some nasty pulls...so I surprised her with this one...It's almost identical except for an extra item (the Exfoliator attachment).and for some reason an item is missing (the shaver holder for hanging on a rail while charging)..It's actually identical in size and shape so her older attachments fit this and the charger is the same therfore giving her some spares to play with....I mention this because the older model must be 10 years old and finally given up the ghost which is testament to how well this is made...Anyway...My wife loved it and she reported back to me that it shaves just as close if not closer then her latter one and she loved the exfoliator which polishes her leg as she shaves..silky smooth now..:)..It charges very quickly too but it's hard to put a run time on paper..but I would recon about 2 hours....Best part for me was I got it for £20...a bargain...Cheers

The best one I’ve used so far. Would recommend
