Do You Wax or Epilate Regularly?

Fun fact.  The average shaver spends 5 minutes a day shaving.  That's 2.5 hours a month.  30 hours a year!  That's a lot of time spent removing something that begins growing back a day later.

For those of us not wanting to invest 1 and a bit days of our 365 into hair removal; other options offer the need to remove hair less frequently, saving time overall, with longer-lasting results.

Both waxing and epilating boast up to 4 weeks of smoothness - in exchange for a little pain of course.  Where they differ is that epilation doesn't affect the skin in the same way as waxing (which requires a wax to be applied directly to the surface of the skin) so epilation is considered best for sensitive skin.  And, those that epilate only spend around 40 minutes a month tending to hair removal - a huge yearly time saving of over 22 hours, compared to shaving.

The Braun Silk-épil 9 SkinSpa 4-in-1 epilator (RRP:$299.95) is the world’s first epilator and cleansing brush system. As well as including Braun’s best Wet & Dry epilator for long-lasting smooth skin, the set comes with a deep massage pad to help improve skin tone and appearance, two exfoliation brushes for gentle and deep body exfoliation, and a facial cleansing brush which removes make-up and impurities 6x better than a manual face cleanse.  [Read below for some product highlights]

I'm a regular waxer, but interested in epilation as an alternative. Shaving sometimes is the quickest alternative so id love to give this a go! If you can save time then i am all for this!

I'm a regular waxer, definitely interested in epilation. Been looking into it the last month or so

I would absolutely love to trial this product!!! I had my epilator for 7 years and I still believe it was one of the best gifts I ever received. An absolute life saver! The features in this sounds incredible!!

I usually epliate and love it. I have sensitive skin on my body and that can go red and itchy easily so I try to avoid things like delipatory creams and anything that could be too irritating. I've used a couple of different epilators the ones with the rotating tweezers seem to be the best at grabbing hair out by the root. This one sounds like an amazing multitasker with all the different gadgets.

I regularly use an epilator and mine is a Braun silk one,an older model I believe.It does a way better job then shaving and although at first it can be quite painful,the more times you use one there is less pain and the hairs grow back lighter and not as coarse.This model does look a lot more inviting though with all the fancy attachments included.
