Amazon.co.uk Review
The Braun Silk Epil Xpressive 7280 removes hair at the root which ensures smooth skin for as long as possible. This process doesn’t hurt as much as you may think due to the massage system which stimulates the skin before the hair is removed and soothes it afterwards.

This is the easiest way to remove hair at home without the mess of shaving and if you go to a beautician to get waxed, save yourself the money and buy this epilator.

Another great benefit to the epilator is the fact that the hair that re-grows is fine and soft – no more stubble. -- Rhian Munday, amazon.co.uk

Manufacturer's Description

The Braun Silk Epil Xpressive 7280 epilator has been designed to make the removal of unwanted hair as efficient, gentle and easy as possible. Its proven epilation system removes hair at the root, leaving your skin smooth for weeks. As the hair that re-grows is fine and soft, there will be no more stubble. The epilation head features a unique arrangement of 40 tweezers and SoftLift tips for unprecedented efficiency. Thanks to its pivoting feature, it ideally adapts to the body contours, for better short hair removal and thoroughness. The massage system stimulates the skin before and soothes it after the hair is pulled out to significantly reduce the pain sensation.

The epilation head comes with two additional caps... The Efficiency cap for fast epilation ensures maximum skin contact, always talking care of the optimum usage position thanks to its pivoting feature. The beginner cap (also for sensitive skin) reduces the epilation area so that less hair is removed per stroke. This gives you a gentle start in epilation. The shaver head is specially designed for a fast and close shave of underarms and bikini line / area.

HairLift System The Braun Silk-epil Xpressive epilator has a new patented HairLift system that lifts, loosens and gently removes even short flat lying hairs at the root for an extra thorough epilation. The result is smooth skin for up to 4 weeks in a few strokes.

Active Massage Attachment for gentleness

Soft Lift Tips for lifting

Winglet tweezers for feeding, catching and loosening

The Braun Silk-epil Xpressive epilator is also fully washable for maximum hygiene and the Smartlight reveals even the finest hairs. It also includes 16 pre-epilation wipes to prepare your skin for a gentle epilation. PLEASE NOTE: THIS ITEM COMES WITH A 2 PIN PLUG, SUITABLE FOR USE IN A BATHROOM ENVIRONMENT.

Customer Reviews

I'm impressed.
This is the first time I have ever owned and used an epilator and I must say, I was very pleased.
Like most of the other reviewers, I was a bit nervous about trying it once I turned it on and had a look at it! I do credit myself with a fairly high pain threshold and being used to waxing I thought I knew what to expect, however for the first couple of 'strokes' I wanted to cry like a baby!! It did sting - a bit like running a breadknife over your skin - but it did ease off as I got used to it.
Within about 20 minutes both my legs were hairfree and unlike waxing there was no mess to clear up. I think it's impossible to get 100% of the hairs in one go, but after a few days they will be long enough to get with a very quick wizz. So, overall, I think it's brilliant. My legs are smooth and hairfree without the time and mess of waxing or the constant shaving and stubble!
Just one downside to this one compared with the latest 7681 model is that it is not rechargable so you are restricted to using it near a plug.

Smooth and hairless legs!
I got this to replace my old epilator (the 'Philips Beauty'), so I had something to compare the Braun Silk Epil with.

(To anyone who has never used an epilator before: for the first couple of times you use it, IT HURTS! Someone else reviewing here has described it as feeling like you're running a serrated bread knife up and down your legs, and that's very accurate! It can also leave a pink rash for a few hours the first couple of times you use it. After the first couple of uses, I have found no rash and it doesn't hurt as much, if at all. It seems the skin gets used to it and doesn't react.)

In the first place, this Braun Silk-Epil feels light and easy to handle. It can be used for the legs, the under-arms and the bikini line. It has an epilator head, and a shaver head with a trimmer (?!).

I found the instructions a bit over-complicated and lengthy, but the actual epilator and attachments are user-friendly and largely pretty obvious, so I got down to using it very quickly.

They supply wipes that ensure your skin is oil free and clean before epilating.
The on-off switch is easy to operate with one hand, and the light - which I thought would be a silly gimmick - was very useful for spotting the finer, shorter hairs. It worked quickly and quite quietly, and took pretty much all the hairs out leaving my legs feeling smooth and looking good. I was very happy with the result: better than my Phillips, by far.

When the hairs do grow back again, they are soft because they haven't been cut, and so they don't scratch or look stubbly like they do if you shave your legs.

The epilator is so quick and easy to use I just run it over my legs every few days. I haven't used it for my under-arms, but I have used it for my bikini line and it was fine. It's important to make sure your skin is kept taut otherwise you could pinch it!

Overall, I was really impressed with this epilator. I don't like to give 5 stars unless I absolutely think the item deserves it - but I genuinely can't complain about anything!

Well done Braun!

Relatively painless
This is a very well made unit, it looks really good, with a sort of sparkly finish. It feels good in the hand and is easy to hold and control.
The unit is mains only and you will need to have a shaver adapter; in use the cord wasn't a problem but a rechargeable unit would have been much nicer. The unit is very noisy, so not something you can do surepticiously!
The unit is a shaver as well as an epilator.
My son's girlfriend checked out the performance; she found it very good, both as a shaver and an epilator. You do get a selection of heads, including a "beginner" one, but in use she didn't find it painful to use and the results were "very good indeed".
