Question 1

Which is better for sensitive skin, Braun or Philips?

Accepted Answer

The Philips Series 8000 tends to hurt less because it uses ceramic tweezers that are gentler and don't heat up during use. Keep in mind that pain is subjective, and there's a trade-off: those ceramic tweezers might have less grip on thin hair, which can make you go over the same area several times. So if you have very fine hair, be aware of that.

Question 2

What's the main difference between Braun Silk-épil 9 and Philips Series 8000?

Accepted Answer

The Philips epilator is great for beginners. You get a lot of accessories for a reasonable price, which allows you to choose what's best for you. The ceramic tweezers are more gentle, making it easier for newcomers to epilation. The Braun is more straightforward and powerful, better for experienced users who want efficiency.

Question 3

Which epilator is more durable?

Accepted Answer

Both epilators have a sleek design, but that makes them quite hard to clean from the inside. Unfortunately, you cannot change the battery on either model. At least you cannot buy replacement batteries. In terms of build quality, both are solid and should last years with proper care.

Question 4

Can both be used in the shower?

Accepted Answer

Yes, both are fully waterproof and work great in the shower. No issues there. The trade-off is that you cannot use them while plugged in. They need to be cordless when in use.

Question 5

Which brand has better customer support?

Accepted Answer

Both Braun and Philips are strong brands that have been manufacturing razors and epilators for a long time. No problems on that side. Both have reliable customer support and warranty coverage.
