Which Epilator is Best? Does this model actually work better than the cheaper Braun epilators or are they all the same? As anyone used other brands or types and could compare?

BRAUN. Buy the most expensive one you can afford. It is definitely worth every penny!

I tried a friends Panasonic epilator a week ago and want to buy one for myself. The one I tried can beused wet or dry. Does anyone know if any of these can be used wet??? I've been looking at thembut they don't indicate whether or not they can be used wet. I have other Braun items and like the brand and would like to stick to it but using an epilator WET is a deal breaker for me.Suzy

Don't know the answer. I think a battery-operated epilator (face trimmer) works better. I bought the Epilady from No More Rack.com for $15 and LOVE IT. 3 weeks between usages. Virginia Carroll

I've never had those, so I have no clue. There's a slightly more expensive Braun model with a little trimmer, but it's a bit clumsy to use. I prefer using my beard trimmer for that kind of problem area.

I checked with my wife who is the one who uses it, and she says it is the best one she has ever had and she has had several. She has not used Braunb SE 7681 silk Epil 7 wet and dry epilator, however she has found this product to be far superior can any others she has used.

Remembering that this is a travel shaver or for a quick shave on the go, I think the Braun is terrific for mustache, beard and sideburn trims. I use a razor to supplement when I want a real close shave. I have purchased three of these Brauns already, one as a gift and one as a backup...but still getting good use from the original after two years of frequent usage.

My wife bought me the Braun 390CC-4 shaver since I have very sensitive skin and have never been able to shave with a safety razor without breaking out. I get a very smooth shave with the Braun and heartily recommend the "clean and renew" feature. It really does a great job of keeping the unit in topnotch shape shave after shave. Every shave is like having a new shaver!!!

Slide up. Unfortunately it's the usual Braun point of weakness on this shaver. The weak plastic bits inside the trimmer slider broke on mine in less than a year, even though I was extremely careful with it due to past problems with the trimmers on Braun razors. In my opinion it is designed to fail quickly so as to make this shaver a throwaway model. I would not buy it if you plan to use it for more than a year.

I have used all models. This one is the least likely to nick or chaffe the skin due to the flexible head. If you pull the skin taut while shaving the private areas it's more likely to pull or nick the skin. Of course their is no perfect way, I've just learned from lots of nicking myself. Staying clean with a few nicks still beats the alternative.

I chose the purple one because it is my favorite color. I've used epilators for many years. I like this one much better than previous ones. You would probably be happy with either one.

The shaver works either way, but plugged in it seems to have a little more power. I switched to Braun after being a norelco rotary user for years but it was not cutting my neck hairs and the cutter heads were too expensive. You get a carrying case, little cleaning brush, a little bottle of oil, the cord, and the operating instructions. A very good razor for the money!!

I have the Braun 360 and I am satisfied with it; it shaves close enough and is not too aggressive on the skin. (My Remington MS2-390 shaves closer in fewer passes, but one needs some soothing after-shave gel afterwards.) I do not think the Braun Pulsonic is worth the extra cost. I believe the vibrating head of the Pulsonic is mostly a marketing gimmick. Apparently Norelco (owned by Philips, Netherlands) thinks so too, because in December 2007 they initiated a lawsuit against Braun (owned by Procter and Gamble) in Federal Court (Southern District of NY) claiming false and misleading advertising in Braun's Pulsonic advertisements. See http://www.reuters.com/article/consumerproducts-SP/idUSN1744077120071218 and http://cpglitigation.blogspot.com/2007/12/philips-alleges-false-advertising-of.html It is interesting to note that Braun's immediate parent Gillette (Gillette in turn is owned by P&G), was successfully sued a few years ago by Schick in Connecticut for false and misleading advertising of its battery-powered hand razor. Caveat emptor!

It is exactly the same epilator as the Braun SE7681 Silk-epil &--EXCEPT that this product has the exfoliation brush that you can use in the shower after pulling. The SE7681 has more attachments/caps than this one. This product has a pivoting exfoliation brush that massages and exfoliates your legs after epilating. I find this brush very useful because it helps keep folliculitis (ingrown hairs) at a minimum. You can buy this separate brush as an attachment to the SE7681 on Amazon for $18.89. Amazon has it as the "Braun Silk Epil Female Replacement Brush 79spa 1 Count".

You can adjust your angle and see if that helps. However, this epilator did not work well at all for me and was not efficient. Hope you get it to work for you!

I used this epilator for the first time. I was thinking that it will pull out the hair from the root. However, the thin hair will break during the epilator instead of pulled out... As a result of that now i have dark colored hair instead of soft and light hair as i had before. The only advantage is its not time consuming and u clean up without burning ur skin as waxing

Maybe I used it wrong, I don't know, but I found it ineffective as an epilator. It did nothing, so I would think it would be worthless on the face as well. I have a Remington (purple one) that I use on my chin, and it works very well.

I do not know. But I did search for the model shaver you are referring to and these refills showed up on the same page not sure if that indicates it works for most braun modeled shavers? Hope this helps!
