Braun Silk Epil 7 Wet and Dry Epilator Review – Smooth!

Say hello to faster and easier hair removal with the Braun Silk-épil 7 epilator.  If you want a multi-purpose device that will help you get rid of unwanted body hair efficiently and effectively, look no more!

The Silk Epil 7 is a wet and dry epilator giving you the choice as to where and how you will use it. It’s great because you’re not stuck to having to use it right beside a power source. You will however, have to remember that it needs to be charged up before use.

This was actually one of Braun’s best selling epilators until the Silk Epil 9 came along which has a wider head. However, the epil 7 remains a very popular epilator today for a few reasons:

• 1. It’s from Braun, a reputable company with a long history in personal grooming and hair removal devices.
• 2. It’s geared towards gentle epilation, having different caps for a more comfortable experience.
• 3. It’s cheaper than the silk-épil 9.

NOT FOR EVERYONE

This won’t be the right epilator for everyone, but having read this review, you’ll get to know the Silk Epil 7 a little better.

Features

What We Like About The Braun Silk Epil 7

Various Caps

The Braun Silk Epil 7 epilator comes with several caps that will allow you to use it on any surface of your body. It is not just an epilator – you can use it to shave and trim too. It even comes with a facial and sensitive area cap. This makes it possible for you to use it on your face, legs, arms, and practically anywhere that has unwanted hair!

Cordless

No need to worry about using it in the shower! In fact, you can have the benefit of warm water to soothe your skin and open the pores to make the epilation process bearable.

Technology

This Braun silk épil epilator uses a unique design and technology that promises a “virtually pain-free experience the more you use the device”, according to Braun.

It has a 40-tweezer technology that will leave you with smoother skin. We also like how it has a Close-Grip technology that can catch hair that is as small as 0.5mm. If you are wondering how small that is – think of a grain of sand!

Pivot Head

It’s easy to move along and get at those hairs along the curves of the body with the addition of this pivoting head. Not an absolute deal breaker but it’s neat.

Smart Light

If you’ve never used an epilator with a smart light before, you don’t know what you’re missing! Might not seem like a big deal but believe me, this addition really helps to show up those pesky strays – ones you might miss without it.

With epilation, hair is pulled from the root completely.

You can enjoy smooth skin for up to 4 weeks!

Unlike shaving, you don’t have to worry about any stubble growing back after a couple of days or even hours. It will take weeks before the hair grows back – at least enough for you to notice.

Negatives

What We Don’t Like About The Silk Epil 7

To be honest, there is nothing about the Braun Silk Epil 7 epilator that we don’t like!

If there is one, it is probably the price. Admittedly, it is a little on the expensive side.

However, if you can see how effective and efficient it works, we think it’s worth it if your budget allows. Think about it for a second. This is a one-time purchase, and will still save you money over the repeated cost of waxing or the hassle of shaving.

No more restocking of creams, razors or other waxing materials and tools. So not really a negative in the grand scheme of things. Are there cheaper epilators available? Absolutely, but perhaps not on par in terms of performance.

We also think the battery takes a little too long to charge – about an hour for a full charge. This is acceptable if you are organized and have the unit powered up in advance of wishing to use it. The battery can run for 40 minutes which should give you enough time to use it all over your body – if you so wish. On the other hand, if you forget to charge it before use – it’s a bit long to have to wait around.

What Else Can The Braun Silk Epil 7 Offer

So we’ve seen how the 40 tweezers and close-grip technology makes for an efficient epilator. Additionally, the various caps make this device highly functional and usable anywhere on the body.

While these features are awesome, there are a couple more things to mention.

First of all, this device is really easy to use. You can choose between 2 different speeds. It allows you to set the pace according to what is comfortable on your skin. Use the high setting if you’re used to using an epilator but if you find it too painful, you can set it on low for a more gentle experience.

The Braun Silk Epil 7 even has a Smartlight feature that will allow you to see even the finest of hair effectively. Along with the pivot head which makes it easier to get rid of hair on the curvier parts of the body, this combination makes for thorough body hair removal.

Don’t forget it’s 100% waterproof! You can use it safely in the bath or shower – recommended if you are a beginner as warm water can be very soothing and helps to open up the pores.

Is It Painful To Use

A lot of people, especially beginners may be concerned about the pain that comes with using an epilator. We will not lie, it most likely will hurt in the beginning. But Braun Silk Epil 7 has got you covered!

A high-frequency massage system stimulates the skin as the device moves over it. This helps to make it bearable and make for a more comfortable experience.

It’s important to remember that no matter what brand you use, the process of epilating will be painful at first. Hair is pulled out from the root with epilation. Used regularly, your skin will get used to it. You’ll find hair growth is finer and there is much less pain.

Final Thoughts – Is It a Yes or a No?

It is definitely a yes for the Braun Silk épil 7 epilator. It’s no wonder as it’s one of the most raved-about epilators on the market.

Thousands of people have purchased this and online customer reviews are favorable. This is perfect for beginners also.

Of course, to make the outlay worth it, you need to take care of the device as well as the battery so it will last for a long time.

The usual rules work. keep it clean and unplug it once it is fully charged. You should then be able to enjoy your Braun Silk Epil 7 epilator for a very long time.
