Wish I could give zero stars. It did not work at all. Barely took off any hair. You are better off with any other razor. Regret wasting the money.

Solid Choice
This would be great for a teen girl just getting started. The hardware is good and I have sensitive skin so I was a little worried that I was going to catch skin. Nope! Worked wonderfully on my under arms and the bikini line. It didn’t fully grab the hair off my legs but it was safe around my knees & ankles. We shall see how it holds up overtime, but it’s a good choice.

Works well and really waterproof
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Works really well in taking the hair off wherever I need it to. I love that it is waterproof. It is also easy for my daughter to use as a first time shaver. Keeps its charge for awhile!

Super pratical!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Braun Lady Shaver is perfect for busy women! At the same time you shave and exfoliate your legs. It is super fast to shave, and easy to use. If you looking for a non-painful and fast shaving method you should try it!

Buy if for a very specific body part
This is a very weird tool because it's marketed and even has a setting for the bikini area but that's the last place this thing should be used. It's an oscillator and your skin has to be very taught and essentially free of all in growns or the tool will make small slices in your skin. Anytime I've tried to use this down there I've cut myself and I'm following the manual to the T. This is a specific tool that would be a great one if you really only care to maybe shave your arms belly or back hair. It doesn't do well with bumps (aka your knees) or skin that is not as tight think shin versus inner thighs. The benefit of this is that it can be used dry and not needed in the shower however it takes twice as long because you have to go verrrrry slowly. I wanted to write this review to save anytime some time- if you're looking for a trimmer like tool for bikini area this isn't it. If you're solely looking for something for arms belly or back, it'd work well. If you're someone that forgets to shave your legs on the way to a wedding yeah this could help you in a pinch in the car lol. But for the usual day to day hair disposable needed, mainly legs and under arms, bikini- this ain't it. Also be careful if you have any skin tags this WILL get caught in this tool. Buyer beware.

We're very sorry to hear about your challenging and disappointing experience with the Braun Silk-épil 5, especially concerning its use in sensitive areas like the bikini line. We deeply regret that, despite following the manual, you've experienced cuts and that the tool hasn't performed as expected on areas with bumps or less taut skin. This is certainly not the safe or effective hair removal experience we intend for our customers, particularly when a product is marketed for such uses. We genuinely appreciate your detailed and honest feedback, including your specific warnings about ingrown hairs, skin tags, and the need for extremely slow operation. Your review highlighting the product's limitations for certain body areas, and its potential utility for others like arms, belly, or back hair, is incredibly valuable for us and for potential buyers. Please know that we take your concerns about safety and product suitability very seriously. This information is crucial for our product development and marketing teams. Please feel free to send us a direct message with any further comments or contact Braun directly at 1-800-272-8611. We would like to understand more about your experience and explore potential solutions or alternatives for you.

Smooth, irritation-free shave that’s easy to use a
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very easy to use and comfortable to hold. The battery lasts well. It glides smoothly on the skin and gives a close shave without cut and irritations compared to the regular razor. It feels durable and good quality, and perfect for everyday day use. I absolutely love it.

No nicks no cuts!!!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I knew this was going to be easy but it was so much better than just that! No Knicks or cuts even around ankles and knees! It did take a few passes as I grew used to using the silk-epil but worth it for no blood! I really like the exfoliation cap. The trimmer attachment is also a nice option.

Easy to use
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the ease of use and comfort. It seems duable and made well. Definitely leaves my skin feeling soft and makes shaving a breeze. I like that it also come with attachments and a cleaning brush. It is battery operated but seems to last awhile before needing to change them out.

A nice alternative to shaving
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had never used an epilator before trying this and I’m glad I gave it a shot. I have tried shaving my legs with it both dry and in the shower and I much prefer it dry, which is actually pretty convenient! It isn’t as smooth or as close of a shave as with a razor, but it’s like day 1-2 after shaving. Good for everyday use in my opinion, but I’m not getting rid of my razor just yet. Subtracted one star because I really wish it was rechargeable rather than using AA batteries, and it’s pretty loud. Otherwise I’m happy with this!

Love that its gentle and easy to use
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like Braun Silk-epil lady shaver because it’s powerful and yet gentle to get my sensitive areas. There is a gentle vibration and the performance is great by getting those hard to reach areas. It’s durable and long lasting, giving me ample time to get the job done.

Don't let the name fool you
Even though the name is epil, this is not an epilator. Previous models have had dual functions as epilator and shaver, but this one does not.
1 reply from Braun team - 1 month ago
Thank you for your feedback on the Braun Silk-épil 5. We understand your disappointment and confusion regarding its functionality, especially as you note that previous models offered a dual epilator and shaver function. We apologize if the product's name or marketing led you to expect an epilator and shaver combination, and that it did not meet your expectations in this regard. Your comments are valuable in helping us ensure clarity in our product descriptions and naming conventions. If you would like to discuss alternative Braun products that offer both epilation and shaving capabilities, or if you have any further questions, please contact us directly at 1-800-272-8611.

Obsessed
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This razor is perfect for those in between shave days. The razor itself has minimal noise and super gentle on the skin. It’s not a super high power razor that will get super close to the roots, it’s more for upkeep. Every time after I shave I get a little stubble a few days after and this razor is great at cleaning up those little pesky hairs that I can’t quite get with my normal razor. I used it on my arm and the before and after is insane. My only complaint is there isn’t anything to catch the hair. It kinda just falls out. But still a great product. It is a wet and dry razor, but me personally I prefer to dry shave. The razor isn’t rechargeable as it requires two double as batteries, which luckily the razor did come with. It’s super compact, but I would have liked it to come with some sort of case to leave the razor in.

The perfect shave!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This razor is very impressive, I usually use a regular razor when I shave, but this one gets extra close to my skin and gives me a smooth even shave. I love how easy it is to use around my knees and ankles. I also love that I can use it wet or dry. It is really easy to use and no bulky at all. Very powerful razor!
