More and more men are starting to take far more pride in the way they look. There are far more male cosmetics and other male grooming products arriving on the shelves these days, compared to just a few years ago.

One big change in male grooming is the removal of body hair. Whether this is for their own personal benefit or their their partners, more men are staring to remove their body hair aiming for a more smoother, sleeker look.

The removal of male body hair is no different to that of removing female body hair. The same methods used by women can also be used by men. Some of these methods include: waxing, shaving, using creams or using an epilator. Considering that this site is all about the latter, this article will concentrate on- in my personal opinion- which is the best epilator for men.

Although there is not a specific epilator for men, I have combed the internet reading reviews and comments left by male readers on epilating and male grooming. Of the reviews I could find, one epilator seemed to stand out from the rest to be more suitable for use by men; this is the Braun pro 7681.

This is a particularly well made epilator with some good features, that I have listed below, along with some reviews by men who have actually used this particular epilator.

Can be used in the bath and shower.

This particular epilator can be used in water. This means you can use it while taking a shower or long hot bath. Using the epilator in this way as a couple of advantages over dry epilation.

You can add a product such as shower gel to your skin

A lot of people who have reviewed this epilator felt epilating in the bath helped reduce the pain.

Epilating while in the bath can help you to relax.

Also Braun themselves have done some research that seems to indicate Epilating in warm water may help reduce the pain.

Cordless.

Being cordless means you do not have the inconvenience of tangled wires. You can use the epilator wherever you want; no more tangled or overstretched wires; no more being inconvenienced by the power socket. You can use it wherever you wish. Taking only one hour to charge, the Braun pro 7681 gives a generous epilating time of forty minutes.

Removes hair as short as a grain of sand.

Unlike waxing, you do not have to wait too long for hairs to re-grow before they can be removed. The Braun 7681 can remove hairs that are only 0.5mm in length, this can be as little as 1 to 2 days of growth.

Let there be light

One very handy feature of this epilator, that can be easily overlooked, is the built in light. Numerous reviewers have commented on how particularly useful this light is is to help highlight individual hairs that may otherwise be overlooked.

Nodding head

The head of the Braun 7681 is designed to pivot helping it to follow the contours of your body. By doing so it can far more easily remove those hairs that, may otherwise, be hard to get at.

Very well made.

Compared to some of the cheaper epilators available today, the Braun pro 7681 is built to a very high standard and should last a very long time. If you would like to read the latest customer reviews then please click here.

5.0 out of 5 stars Not just an epilator!, 22 Feb 2010

This review is from: Braun Silk-épil Xpressive Pro 7681 Rechargeable Wet & Dry Epilator (Personal Care)

This product is fantastic! It’s by far the best and most pain free epilator I’ve used (yes, I’m a guy – I use an epilator on my back and shoulders). The way the head can rotate is a new feature to me in the world of hair removal and I think this helps it get more hairs first time, which also means less pain as the skin gets less beaten up.

I was also pleased to find that it came with a trimmer head. The heads are easy to remove and change, and the trimmer/shaver head is great for other manscaping needs such as trimming chest hair, etc. This can all be done in the shower meaning it’s not creating an awful mess all over the bathroom floor… it just washes away down the plughole.

Very useful, 28 Jan 2010 By Mr. M. A. Reed This review is from: Braun Silk-épil Xpressive Pro 7681 Rechargeable Wet & Dry Epilator (Personal Care) Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Programme) Many years ago, I tried, in a fit of panic at a girlfriends house a few days stubble, to use her epilator : now, as a male, I can’t say this product is designed for me, but what I can say is that this is a gentle, adaptable, and useful product that does the trick (and it works well on men, as well). However, you should know that, like any epilator, it will burn on sensitive skin – as everything does – but this does lessen after the first few tries. It’s an effective, powerful, and gentle tool that removes unwanted body hair quickly and easily and leaves skin clear for around two weeks before any stray hairs return. You can wash it in water, which is very useful, and, overall, is a great product for what it is designed to do.
