Is this epilator better than the Braun SE7681 Silk-&eacute;pil 7 Wet and Dry Epilator?

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".

I would agree, these Panasonic shavers are good for those susceptible to ingrown hairs. I used a Braun for years and had many problems with this, but since going to Panasonic it is very rare. These shavers are gentle on the skin and are waterproof so you can use them with shaving gel if needed.

I got one of the coil epilators when they first came out years ago and now I have almost no hair on my legs and what is there is fine and soft. Even though it's fine, my old coil epilator still yanks it right out and I have baby smooth legs for 4-6 weeks. I have also used the tweeze epilators and they are too slow for me plus they aren't as effective with very fine hairs has been my experience.

No, this epilator comes with a massaging head (which does reduce pain, surprisingly) and an efficiency head. The 7681 model does come with a shaver, however.

No, the epilator takes longer to use then shaving your legs. I would say at least 15-20 minutes to have good results.

Directly on skin is the best. It catches everything. There is massage part that helps to minimize the pain. Once I went back to Braun-never again. Philips is 100 time better, more tweezers and less paint in quick about of time.

The one I received from my Amazon order had the adapter included in the sealed package. My first Braun (that I bought in a US store) is identical but didn't come with the adapter. By the way, I love this epilator. Been using different ones for years and this is my favorite. Of course, I don't have much hair that needs to be removed because after removing it for so long, it doesn't grow back. Yay!

Hello JJI. I have been meaning to respond to your post and used my braun 9595 for the 2nd time only today. I'm a doctor and appreciate your concern which is genuine and as you explain, far from ideal to end up with hairs in your trachy site. Unfortunately, I think you're safer staying away from this shaver for your particular concern since there was a considerable amount of small hairs that fell during my shave today. I could clearly see those hairs in the sink and since they fall out dry, they are more difficult to extract and clean. I don't know if you currently shave with 'wet' razors, but I would imagine that is the safest and cleanest way to shave around the area. Dry hairs tend to be problematic to remove and most likely to elicit the undesired inflammatory reactions although less likely obstruct the area due to their minute size. This shaver does not have a vacuum system and I don't know how it compares to others since this is my first electric shaver. Also, I can't even comment on the quality of shave at this very early stage yet but I'll leave a review in due course. I hope this is useful but please accept this at face value as my opinion only from what I've experienced personally so far. Its worth mentioning that my stubble is slightly thicker than your average stubble. All the best.

Absolutely, I have been using epilator for more than 10 years. It can't be even compared to razor, the skin is smooth and after you use it for a while it slows the hair growth! Now, I only use it couple of times a month on my legs because the hair takes long time to grow! I love epilation so are all of my friends. I know it can be paintful the first few times but once the skin gets used to it it's painless! The hair loses thickness which makes it easier to use with time

I've never used the epilator head except once. It was too painful. I don't notice a significant difference in time between shaving.

Hi - I haven't tried using it there (or either of my two previous epilators... I'm too much of a wimp!) However in general I have been very disappointed with this epilator. I would have returned it only I didn't keep the bix (grrr!). Its not very effective, it doesn't catch all the hairs (or even most of them!) and it seems to cut as many as it plucks. In general I love epilators.... but not this one!

I've been using Braun shavers for a few decades and have been happy with them. Because some folks said they really liked the Panny I bought one that I planned to keep in my car. I tried it at home and my face felt like I had shaved with a roll of barbed wire. I then looked at reviews of other full size Panny shavers and the reviews tend to be black or white - some folks love them and some had my experience - there weren't many shades of gray in the reviews. So if you have sensitive skin stay away from Panny shavers. (Note that I have a lot of Panny products I use and like, including 4/3 format DSLR camera lenses designed by Leica that smoke much more expensive Canon and Nikon lenses.)

Luiza,My judgement may not be that accurate as this is the first time i use an epilator of this type.So i think it is considerably close.

I believe the question was meant to compare the coil type epilator to the motorized tweezer type epilator, not to shaving blades that leave stubble. I have had both, and tho it has been years since I have used the coil, I am thinking of going back to it. Could be I am remembering it as working better than it really did. What I do know is that I am done with the cordless models. The battery never lasts. And I don't need a waterproof one. I am blind without my glasses anyway and they don't seem to work any better in the shower.

Don't despair S. Gunnell, whenever you change shaving methods (blade, foil or Phillips rotating cutters style) it takes three weeks or more for your skin to adapt to the different methods. I myself experienced this when I switched from my old Braun to a blade, then again when I purchased this braun. I have found this to be the best electric shaver I've ever used to the point that I'm considering buying another when they discontinue this model to eventually replace my current 8995 when it wears out!I have no experience with the Pulsonic, however. I found it curious that the replacement cutter/foil is more expensive with the 8995 than the Pulsonic.(At least in my local stores) Don't despair S.
