Braun Silk Epil 9 (SE9-961) Skin Spa Epilator Review

Hi guys,

So Braun had launched this new Silk Epil 9 Epilator last year, they have got a new revamped version of it now, which comes with German technology.

I have used it before and I used it again recently. Here are my thoughts on it..

Claims: Braun’s fastest and most precise ever, the Silk-épil 9 Wet & Dry epilator removes even the shortest hairs that wax cannot catch for up to 4 weeks of irresistibly smooth skin. The 40% wider epilation head removes more hair in one stroke. The innovative exfoliation brush gently refines skin for visible radiance.

Features:

• Wet & Dry usage for gentler epilation: Works in bath or shower for a more comfortable epilation.
• Pulsating active vibrations: For an extra gentle sensation.
• Skin contour adaptation: Smoothly adapts to your body contours for more comfort and maximum thoroughness.
• Smartlight: Reveals even the finest hair for extra thorough epilation.
• Speed personalization: You can select the right speed for your individual needs: Speed 1 for extra gentle epilation, speed 2 for extra efficient epilation.
• Cordless use – fast recharge: Epilate wherever and whenever desired. Get up to 40 minutes of operation after just 1 hour of charging.
• Waterproof & washable: Can be both used and cleaned under running water for better hygiene.

MRP: Rs.10985 (BUY HERE for 7999)

I have used earlier Braun epilators like 7-7891 and I can say this is an highly improved version in every sense. Even the Silk Epil 7 was wet and dry use and I prefer epilators which can be used wet too, coz I can only bear epilation in shower.

I am mostly a waxing person but I hate going to the salons, and sometimes don’t get the time to call for salon services at home. I end up shaving whenever I have to wear a dress but then I have to keep doing it every 3-4 days. At such times, epilation comes to rescue.

This one is a ‘Skin Spa’ version, so it comes with a body cleansing/exfoliation brush too. So you can not only epilate, but also exfoliate your body and get rid of those in grown hair and dead cells, right in the shower. The exfoliation brush is super dense and the 3000 micro vibrations refine the skin’s surface and make it as soft as a baby’s bottom. It’s like a body scrub at a spa or salon.

What I do and would suggest is, first use the exfoliation brush in shower, and then change the heads, and epilate in shower. The 40% wider head has definitely cut down on the time, my Silk Epil 7 used to take much longer. You can cover more area in one go with the wider head.

I love the light, it comes very handy to catch those smaller hair. Also the speed settings can be changed according to one’s pain threshold, which again is a plus.

I personally use it only wet, I have tried using it dry and I have super sensitive skin, so it gives me bumps and redness all over which takes 2-3 days to subside. I don’t experience that many bumps when used wet and also it is much less painful.

It even comes with a shaving head, so you can even use it to shave. And two additional caps, one for trimming and one for sensitive areas like face, underarms, etc.

The only disadvantage I would say is you need to charge it each time. If you want to use both the exfoliation and epilation brush, the charge would last you just once.

I do recommend it and completely agree on it being Braun’s best epilator. But I would not suggest epilation for girls with sensitive skin or to those who have very low pain threshold. For others, definitely try this and you would not go back to any other epilator.

Have you tried epilators?
