6 Best Epilator For Men Comparison Table-

1. The Braun Body Grooming Set BGK7050 Epilator-

The Braun epilator combines the three basic functions of men's body grooming: It is equally suitable for epilation, shaving and trimming. The swiveling epilation head ensures that you always hold the device at a 90-degree angle to the skin surface. This results in the best epilation, shaving and trimming results. These are further improved by the existing Smartlight. This makes hairs that have not been detected immediately visible so that they can be re-epilated. The result is an impeccably clean complexion.

Furthermore, the Braun model knows how to impress with short battery charging times: for a full charge (= 40 minutes of use), the device must be connected to the power for about an hour.
Since the men's epilator is 100 percent waterproof, it can be used not only in dry but also in wet operation. The advantage: the skin becomes a little more supple when it is warm, which makes the removal of body hair less uncomfortable.

This function is particularly helpful for men who have never held an epilator in their hands. Thanks to the pressure control, the epilator is always guided over the skin with the right pressure and the right angle. This reduces skin irritation due to excessive pressure on the epilator and ensures more effective depilation.

I have had very good experiences with this device and all men I have recommended this device were very satisfied. It is not for nothing that he is the bestseller among the epilators.
The 40 electric tweezers work very thoroughly. The built-in light makes all hair on the body clearly visible. Thanks to the wireless use, you can comfortably use the epilator in the bath or in the shower . Of course it is 100% waterproof.

Epilator Buying Guide-

In our epilator test you will find the best epilators that we think are currently commercially available. We have put the listed models through their paces for you (actually on your body and legs) and looked at what they are good for and where they have their strengths and weaknesses. Perhaps you may be wondering what criteria we used to evaluate them. We would like to break them down and explain them briefly below.

But not only that. At the same time, this is also our epilator buying advice. Because the test criteria listed are also exactly the things that you should consider when buying a new epilator. In general, we recommend that you buy one of the models we tested, ideally, of course, the test winner Braun Silk-épil 9 . Should you not like the models presented for any reason, you have the tools you need to select the epilator best for you with the criteria of our epilator buying advice.

Design, equipment and workmanship-

The design of an epilator may certainly be decisive for one or the other of you - but of course other values ​​are more important. This includes the equipment and workmanship, which of course should be of a high level. The built-in technology and functions are particularly important for the equipment. These include a powerful motor, battery life and the epilation head, which is essential for good epilation performance - but more on this below. Practical and definitely an important point is the waterproof and a wireless design, so that you can use your new epilator in the shower or in the bathtub. Because this is how you tips in our epilator read, particularly gentle and pleasant for epilation. The scope of delivery is also important for good equipment. Here, among other things, as many attachments as possible, a peeling system and more. In this criterion, the epilator test, especially the test winner Braun Silk-épil 9, was particularly successful.

Handling and cleaning-

Of course, an epilator should be well in your hand so that you can drive it over all parts of the body to be epilated and reach it easily. It is also important for this that the epilator has a non-slip grip so that it always stays in place when wet or with wet hands and does not slip out of your fingers. When you have finished epilating all parts of the body, the cleaning comes. This should be done quickly and easily, preferably under running water. Practical and actually standard is a small brush included in the scope of delivery, with which you can clean hair remnants from the epilation head.

Epilation result and skin protection-

Epilation is not always the most pleasant thing in the world, especially with sensitive skin and sensitive body regions, but can also pull something and leave traces. Not only are our epilating tips and tricks mentioned above crucial here, but also the epilator itself. The more gently it plucks the hair out of the skin, the fewer problems it causes during and after epilation. The more tweezers the epilating head has, the more hair is caught at once. This, in turn, is crucial for the epilation result. The more hair is removed with each "ride" over legs and the like, the less you have to drive over the individual areas - this saves time and is also easier on the skin.

Price-performance ratio-

Of course, the price also plays a decisive role. However, not in terms of the absolute amount, but rather in terms of the relative price / performance ratio. Because it is only fair to put the performance and equipment offered in relation to the purchase price called. Otherwise, this section would mercilessly lose any expensive device against the cheap models if it is purely about the amount and not the consideration offered for it. The goal here should be to get the best possible epilator at the best price according to your requirements and wishes.

Conclusion of our buying advice-

Which points are particularly important for you and what you attach particular importance to, of course, lies in your decision. But these are generally the things you should look for when choosing an best epilator for men. And these are also the criteria that we used in our epilator test for the evaluation.
