In Lab tests, one tester said, “This epilator removes more hair faster and it’s light and easy to use.” That’s because the 72 tweezer heads on this Emjoi epilator rotate in opposite directions to remove more hair in one glide, while their “lifting finger” technology works to lift and remove shorter hairs. This means capturing more leg hair, and every last hair, with less passes — making it a good candidate for those with a lot of hair or a lot of stubble.

Compared to some fellow Braun epilators, the Silk Epil 9 features a wider epilation head to remove more hair in one stroke, plus seven attachments so you can switch between face, body, and sensitive areas. Once charged with the included cord or powered by batteries, you can use it on dry skin or in the shower. “I followed the advice of others and used it every few days the first two weeks or so,” says one reviewer. “Now when I feel a bit of stubble, I use it and am done in five minutes or less.” Our GH Beauty Lab Director personally loves and recommends a similar but older version of this model, the Silk-Epil 7.
