Removed all my stubborn chin hairs! Smooth skin yeah!:
This epilator is definitely a keeper. I'm a girl and I have facial hair, especially in the chin area. I used depilatory creams or waxes before I decided to try an epilator. Other epilators gave me razor bumps and had trouble removing some of my facial hair. This one works like a charm and doesn't irritate my skin. I will continue to use my razor for my underarm area but I definitely give this product two thumbs up for facial hair removal.
Better Then Shaving or Nair:
I have very dark body hair that is fine, but plentiful. I usually shave my lower legs and under-arms. I occasionally Nair my upper legs and arms.

The comfort head definitely helps. Also, the first few times don't worry about getting every single hair, just get used to it. I have not had the guts to try my under-arms yet; I'm sure it will... more info
It works, but Ouch!:
This will pull hait out. Randomly it will do so. That way you have to go over the same spot over and over. OUCH! Very painfull way to pull hair out. I would rather use electrolysis as it will finish it to the root. This won't kill the folicle. And the pain isn't worth it. The trimer works great, and the shaver get's things very smooth. Very handy for that. If you don't mind the maintenance it does a good job for the price. However, if you want to get rid of the hair, you can find home... more info
Not for all skin/hair types:
I purchased the Silk epilator at the beginning of the summer after reading the rave reviews. It was definitely painful the first time, and I was shocked by the mess and quantity of all the little hairs it pulled out! I figured out that it was best to either sit on a towel or stand in the shower (water off, of course!!!) I guess with shaving I never noticed how much hair was coming off. It is noisy, my husband had to turn up the TV when I tried it in the living room... And it takes a while, um, ages. The... more info
