This is a nice, compact set, for trimming, shaving and removing body hair. Neatly packed, it contains one handset, a choice of 2 heads - one for shaving, the other for depilation. A selection of guards are designed to fit the appropriate head, so its not possible to fit the wrong guard to the wrong head.
First you have to charge the rechargable batteries in the handset for an hour with the plug and lead provided; there is an indicator light which tells you when its fully charged. 1 month later with light use the initial charge is still going strong.
You are advised to use the exfoliator brush supplied 24 hours in advance of depilation. I loved the exfoliator brush, its pretty and feminine with a plastic crystal on top to fit over the fingers and give you a good grip. I will probably use this more than anything else. I do not plan my hair removal sessions 24 hours in advance though, and I don't think pre-exfoliation really makes much difference to how well...
What I love about Philips is their consistency with quality. This SatinSoft total body epilator is no exception and this must be the fourth or fifth Philips epilator I've used. There aren't a huge number of differences between this model and the last and I do think that Philips try and cram a bit too much in to what is essentially a great stand-alone device. Personally don't bother using the body brush that you get with it and the extra attachment heads could be quite handy. But the main plus for me is that it epilates superbly to the point where once a month is sufficient for me not to worry even in summer. I find that it doesn't shave as well as it epilates, having said that it still does a good job of it even in the shower. My only real gripe is that you need to plug it in and wait for it to charge. What I preferred about previous models of Philips epilators is that you could plug it in, switch it on and use. I find the rechargeable part a faff, but I suppose that's because of the...
Over the years I have owned several epilators and even now I still look at them with dread, sensing the pain they will cause me. I have been pleasantly surprised at how painless Philips SatinSoft has been.
It comes with all the standard attachments for epilation, trimming and shaving of body hair, as well as 3 plastic protectors. An added touch is a round body brush with a handle, which is supposed help with dealing with ingrown hair. Personally I have not tried it as I suffer with keratosis pilaris and body brushing exacerbates my condition.
The Philips SatinSoft needs around 1 hour to charge and a full charge gives you 30 min battery life of cordless operation. The epilator is a nice ergonomic shape and lighter than other ones I've owned, making for added control during shaving. The switch on button has two speed settings too. It can be used both for dry and wet epilation. Personally I find this to be a very practical advantage. What's more this product works...
