I am not a Vine reviewer.
I purchased this epilator because it is able to be used in the shower and my current $20 shaver left alot to be desired. I have purchased several Braun epilators over the years and they have all delivered on their promise to rip your hair out by the roots.
Why epilate? I finally got tired of having to shave regularly and after a particularly painful bout of razor burn, I decided enough is enough. Something good about epilating, it hurts, yes it hurts but after a few minutes it goes away. Razor burn can last for days. And you don't have to epilate daily, you can wait several days, I have heard of people waiting weeks. Also it is a more inexpensive and private alternative to waxing.
This epilator is the most complete groomer that I have seen available in the US. It has the "massaging" cap that is supposed to help relax your skin. It may work, but regardless of what you do epilating for the first time is going to hurt. It also comes with a... Read more

This is a review of the Braun 7681. Other models don't include some of the accessories, specifically, the 5681 does not have accessories like the shaving head and the shields that are not for leg shaving. The 7681 has everything I mention here.

I had offered to order my wife an electric shaver from Amazon before, but she had always resisted. When I pressed her, she admitted to using an electric shaver to poor, painful results in the past. But Vines gives out products in exchange for honest reviews, so the question is, why not try? I ordered this this device for my wife when it came up. At first, her attitude was, "Well, it has a regular shaver head, so it won't be a total loss." She had tried one of the early Brauns, with the spring, and had given up on it.

"You expect hair plucking systems to hurt a little bit," she said, "but those early Braun systems just plain hurt too much for me."

But she tried the new plucking system, first the massaging head,... Read more

I just got it today and was eager to use it. I immediately opened it up and charged it. While it was charging I read the instructions thoroughly. Once it was ready to use, I used it on my underarms. I have a high pain tolerance (I've plucked my own underarm hair with tweezers!) and found the pain tolerable. It's not as bad as I initially thought it would be. I did have bleeding but after I was done going through the underarm area, it was completely smooth! Keep in mind that I am hispanic and have dark thick hair! It's red but that is normal and should go away soon. I used it on my face with the right attachment but had to stop since it was too painful. I think I have to work my way up to that one! :) I really like the product. I used to wax and hated having all the hair in between waxing. So, with this product, I am expecting to have smooth skin all the time!!!
