Ok I'm an official convert.
I was thinking about getting the Braun epil exelle, then the next day when out shopping they where doing demos on it I watched a few people give it ago everyone seemed fine no running, screaming etc.
But still wanted to find out a bit more anyway today went into Boots and they have a money off! I got the 5285 model it has the starter head, epilator head and shaver head (for bikini etc if you don't want to epilate) anyway tried it out tonight it is fab!!
It's taken me about an hour to do both lower legs but I don't think that's too bad since it's the first time I used it! Yes it stings but the last one I had was like a tourture device compared to this one. I recommend the Braun to anyone considering it.
There is a top of the line model but the only difference between that one and the one I bought is a face epilator but seriously would you use an epilator on your face OUCH!!
