Braun Epilator Silk-epil 3 3-270, Hair Removal Device, Epilator for Women, Shaver & Trimmer, Hair Removal

I love this epilator!!! I've had another epilator for years, and it was kinda weak compared to this one, slow and didn't remove everything. I hesitated to buy a new epilator, because I wasn't sure it would be any different. Well, I was wrong! I took me roughly 15 minutes to epilate both legs and remove maybe 90% of the (long enough) hairs. The result was decent, but my legs still weren't smooth as there were lots of very short hairs left. I thought well okay, the epilator probably won't be able to get them, so I'll do another session tomorrow. But then I noticed that even those very short hairs can be removed if I use the epilator VERY slowly and control the angle. So, to remove the rest 10% requires to be more specific and takes more time. Sometimes I need to go over the same area several times, but the epilator WORKS!! My old one just wasn't able to remove such short hairs. Overall, it takes about an hour to actually remove alllll the hairs, but I love the process in weird way, it's so meditating lol. I know some people find it painful, and I know what you mean! I've been epilating my legs since I was 15, and I remember how painful the first time was (lol...), my skin was incredibly sensitive. But after a few times it got better and I even started to enjoy the process (lol again!). Even if I skip a few MONTHS for one reason or another, my tolerance stays the same. I don't know how it works but yeah. No pain. But I want to warn people that this is just another epilator that works by removing hair, and literally all of them feel the same. You can't find one that works with no pain (in case you find it painful). So I'd recommend to do this: start slowly by preparing your skin. Pluck some hairs here and there using tweezers. This will 1) help you build some tolerance and 2) make it less painful to use the epilator since there will be fewer hairs left. Do this for a few days, just remove 10, 20 or 30 hairs every day from different areas. It's not as painful to pluck one hair at a time. Then when you think you're ready, shave your legs. NEXT day take a warm shower to make your skin softer. Then try to epilate. Hopefully, you won't feel much pain because the hairs will be very short (if they're still TOO short, try to epilate next day) and because you've prepared your skin and built some tolerance by plucking hairs. This was my method when I epilated my armpits for the first time, because it was literally impossible to epilate them with no preparation!! If it's still painful, try to keep the epilator at one area (do not move it). It will remove hairs for 1 sec and you will feel some pain for a short period of time, but after that there will be fewer hairs on that area, so you'll be able to tolerate it much better. Alternatively, try moving the epilator very quickly so that it removes very few hairs from various areas, not several hairs at the same time. Try to find what works best for you. If it's too overwhelming, stop and try next day, epilate every day for a couple of minutes. Trust me, you will soon be able to epilate legs like it's your hobby! I swear it's not painful at all, especially when I'm not lazy and epilate often while all the hairs haven't grown back yet. It's much easier to do this every day or at least twice a week than once a month. After the procedure, I moisturize my legs with the Kikumasamune emulsion (not the lotion/toner!). I'm in love with it, it's very cheap in stores with Asian skincare products, is easy to spread, has a cooling effect, absorbs really quickly, moisturizes and calms the skin down. I also use it on my face. A COUPLE OF CONS: - pretty loud. Just be aware if this factor is important for you. I'd prefer it to be quieter. - the built-in light can't be turned off. Not a deal breaker, just would be nice if it was possible to turn it off sometimes. When the room is well-lit, the little light makes it harder to see the hairs, but again, I'm totally okay with that. - not cordless. I'd give it 4.5 starts if I could but decided to give 5 stars for overall performance and the results. I hope they make a quieter and cordless version one day!

Reviewing this after owning it for 4 years because I love it. Yes it hurts AT FIRST, but I don’t think it’s bad once you adjust. I actually don’t really feel pain now, more of a “pinch” feeling. I specifically use this on my armpits and my legs. I would say it gets a majority of hair (if it’s long enough). I would say about 95%. I can go about 3-4 weeks without shaving or epilating again. Years later it’s still going strong, no issues, the cable is long enough. The light still works and I have no plans to replace unless it gives out!

It has been over 20 years since I tried using an epilator. This time it worked well for me unlike the last time. Maybe since I am 69 it did not hurt as much, lol. I have essential tremors and trying to pluck my face area has gotten very hard since I shake so much. So I tried this and was surprised it works ok. I use on the low speed and sort of dab it on the face areas I am trying to pluck. The chin area I can use the sweeping motion going slow. It helps to hold the skin tight over the area you are working on. My skin is not tight anymore. However, the mustache area is very sensitive and hurt to do it this way. So I experimented and found the dab method worked for me. I just do dabs quickly on low speed over the area. (Like you do with a bingo marker) It still hurts some but considering I can not pluck it like I have done for years, this epilator with work for now. I have to say I really like to for my legs. Trying to shave is hard with the tremors and this works great. I have not tried on my arm pits as I do not grow much hair there so one swipe with the razor once a week works. I had laser done on my pits years ago and hardly any hair grows there. I also had laser done on my legs so not much growth now and the epilator is perfect. I did have laser on my face numerous times, but there is still too much hair growth to be happy. I even have done electrolysis on my face numerous times but I think it is my genetics that I keep growing so much hair there. So for now the epilator is my new go to to keep me looking like I want. The one thing I can say is a con.....is this thing is LOUD!!!! Maybe a more expensive one would be quieter but I am more interested in staying low price. Maybe I just need to turn the radio up with I use it...Lol.

This item was ordered for my wife and the review was done by me. My wife has been using this particular epilator for many years and we decided to buy a new one although hers was still in working condition. She has had many trouble free years of operation with this particular model and that was the sole reason for ordering a new one. The smart light by far is a great feature as it illuminates the skin, making it impossible use in low lighted rooms. This item does not have batteries, rather it is corded. No worries about dead batteries anymore. This is a great epilator and it’s definitely a fantastic bang for the buck. It works well and my wife has been happy with its results for many years. Definitely recommended at its price point, and it works well. Happy camper here!

I’ve purchased this product once before and I purchased it on November 15, 2024. And it stopped working December 7, 2025 when I was cleaning the product I used anti-bacterial soap and water and then I let it air dry(user error). However, after buying this second one, I’ve learned that you’re only supposed to use alcohol so I will follow the instructions and update if the product still stops working. And I did notice that the second one I bought came in a more compact package and less guards for the trimmer. This box has only one whereas the previous one had about four. But overall I love the product. It lightened my armpits and the hair grew back shorter and thinner in the time I was using it consistently. It is painful but with consistent use you’ll get used to it. Hope this helps!🤗

Careful the first time you use it. Takes time to get use to it.

Muy buen producto, el tamaño es cómodo, tiene buena calidad y el precio es realmente accesible. Ayer lo usé por primera vez, duele, sí, duele bastantito si no estas acostumbrada pero después de un rato lo toleras, supongo con el tiempo y uso, se hace menos doloroso. Me tardé como hora o hora y media, igual y porque sentía dolor y paraba, pero también debes pasar 2 o 3 para eliminarlos todos pero sí arranca hasta los más pequeñitos o enterrados. Espero el vello me tarde mucho en salir. El envío fue rápido, yo compré el Viernes 15 de marzo y estaba destinado a llegar hasta el 26 de Marzo, pero llegó el 20, eso me agradó mucho. Todo en su caja y sellado.

Wouldn't really write a review for a product but this one is amazing. Going from a cheap knockoff brand that ripped my skin out and left a huge scar I was deterred from epilators. I was getting frustrated over shaving my light hair so on a whim tried this one out from a friend recommendation. It does everything so well, works on underarms and legs and arms amazing. Couldn't recommend this product enough.

Very good. I liked the attachments. 10 years ago, I used to have an old Philips Satinelle that hurt SO BAD, I couldn't even use it. But as I saw some reviews about this new one being a little bit more painless, I thought to give it a try. It hurts WAY LESS than what I remember, it's not totally painless for me (each person has different levels of tolerance to pain), but it works well and it's possible to use. My mom used it for many, many years and she doesn't have hair at all in her body now. So, I'm hoping that with time the body hairs tend to disappear, not completely of course, but at least some of it. For facial hair, it broke a little bit my skin but I imagined that since it's a very sensitive area. But overall, great product. In the future, I think I'm going to invest in the fancier and more expensive versions if everything goes well with this one.
