Advantages: Close shave, self cleaning
Disadvantages: Need to buy refil cartridges

The Braun Synchro 7785 is a wonderful bit of technology! Personally, I was never a big fan of electric shavers. I've had a few in the past and have never found it to be as close a shave as a manual shave but the Braun changes everything. I have found it to be just as close as a manual razor and much easier to keep clean. Granted the whole thing is actually very expensive but, for me, its well worth it. Basically the way it works is that you shave ...
...the razor and charges it if necessary. The razor itself has twin foils and the head moves 4 way which is supposed to help you get as close a shave as possible. It also comes with a middle trimmer. There are two settings on the razor. One fixes the head in place so that you can get the areas like around your nose. The other setting uses the head movements to get a close shave. In terms of the closeness of the shave, it is easily on par with the ... Read review

Advantages: Rechargable battery
Disadvantages: None

I was given this as a Christmas present in 2007 from my husband as I really wanted a new one and it is absolutely rubbish! I now have to go buy another one, going to do reviews before I buy the next one. It does not work, no matter what setting I put it on none of my hairs are cut. I was told this one was the best, but it is not. I have tired using it on a number of occasions but keep having the same result. I would advise everyone not to buy this ... Read review

Advantages: Cost effective, long-lasting results, relatively quick
Disadvantages: Some pain, noisy!

When the summer rolls around I tend to have a dabble with waxing, hair removal creams etc but, unsuccessful, resort to shaving. But I hate stubble! This year, I decided to try out an epilator. AN EPI-WHAT? An epilator is an electrical appliance with several rows of tweezers which pluck out hairs from the root, giving a similar long-lasting smooth effect to waxing without having to shell out on home kits or going to a salon. Like waxing, it's not ...
...main factor people consider when choosing an epilator is the level of pain, so it's unsurprising that most of the differences in products revolve around this. Most units I saw had some kind of a cover for beginners, or ice packs to make the process more comfortable. So, since they're all so similar I opted for Braun, which appears to be the leader in the field with several products for sale in Argos alone, where I purchased my Silk epil Xelle Solo ...

Advantages: Simple to use
Disadvantages: Not as sophisticated as many shavers.

The Philips HQ 6695 Reflex Shaver provides me with a close-enough shave every time. I do not shave too often (perhaps weekly), however this shaver has proven that it can tackle facial hairs of all-sorts of lengths. Most men find that places such as the neck are difficult to shave, but for me this is not a problem. A few glides over any spot using the Philips HQ 6695 shaver leaves it completely hair-free. Another nice feature with this shaver is ... Read review
