I’ve tried a few different brands and have come to the conclusion that the Braun Silk Epil 5(corded) and the Braun Silk Epil 7(cordless) by far are the most effective, particularly at shorter lengths. Now after 2 years of epilating my legs and arms every two weeks and underarms weekly, the pain level is almost non-existent, I never get a stubble feeling but a very soft re-growth.
