Review:

A Good Basic Epilator that does the JOB!

By girlflesh
Pros: no hair for 2 weeks, travel ready, easy to use.
Cons: a bit of pain of course, no battery options

was tired of hair removing products. I've tried Nads, Nair, and shaving, and nothing works, and the results didn't last. I've been shaving for years, but it was really tiring to do it everyday, so I put aside my fear for epilators and bought the Remington Smooth and Silky at "The Bay" for $64.99 Canadian, which was reasonally priced, because I was saving money on razors.

Ouch! But it works

By mystic-lynx

I bought this with my armpits in mind. I don't mind shaving my legs as I only need to do it every couple of days. But my armpits are another story. Thick, black forest of hair that has to be shaved every day, sometimes twice a day! I think that because it's warmer under there, and I sweat more than most women, so the hair grows quicker.

And have you ever noticed, those of you who shave, that even with the closest shave, if you have dark hair you can always see that "shadow" that looks like hair? Like men with dark hair, their clean shaven faces have a shadow. I always felt self conscious about wearing swimsuits or tank tops.

So I bought this, figuring I'd definately use it on my awful pits, and possibly on my legs if it worked well. I can't really remember what I paid, but I bought it at Zeller's.

At home, I read through all the instructions carefully, and prepared myself for the pain I knew would follow. In the instructions it says that the first time you use the epilator, it can "smart". They really should write "hurts like hell, makes your eyes tear!"

It took nearly half an hour to do one armpit because I stopped constantly to let my "smarting" skin recover. After years of shaving, the roots of the hairs were very thick and strong, so pulling them out really did "smart". It also bled and made me yelp and turn very white! I thought my fiance would laugh at me, instead he asked "why are you even bothering?" Trust me, I almost didn't get past that first time!

Now that I've been using it for years, the pain is tolerable. It still stings but I get it over with quickly. I only need to do it once a week, or every two weeks, and the hair grows back much lighter and softer. And no shadow! Now when I have no hair, it actually looks like I have no hair.

I tried using this on my legs several times, but it is so time consuming, even when you've been doing it a long time and your hair is finer. I could do it, but it takes about an hour or more to do both legs, and that is if you're quick about it. It usually took me nearly an hour per leg. I suppose you could take the time at night or something, when you're watching a movie, but I just went back to shaving.

by Judy from Ottawa Ontario Canada	I love it at August 14, 2010 I have had my Smooth and Silky(model HR-1) since 1989 and it works beautifully. I just need to know where to buy the replacemnet rollers for my Smooth and Silky
by Shaina from NH	AWESOME lil machine! at August 7, 2010 today I bought this from Walgreens SUPER cheap price compared to other stores 25 bucks! it has 42 lil tweezers and works amazing!! I found it to be about the same amount of discomfort as waxing but VERY MUCH LESS iritation after using this than after waxing as waxing also removes a thin layer of skin...I am so glad I got this and wish this is something I got sooner as I have VERY thick coarse and dark hair...I used it on my legs, armpits, bikini area and belly and the iritation went away within minutes where it would last a day or 2 after waxing...I cannot rave about this product enough!
by madison from Honolulu	Yes and No, mostly No at June 4, 2010 I probably used this about 10-15 times on my legs--and then it started groaning--finally stopping completely. (I'm a guy by the way, so my hair is probably thicker than most girl's). I think if I were to buy another one of these, I'd spend a little more, and buy the best I could find. Overall however, I'm not impressed by the quality, and though epilators are less messy, they are 1) more painful than waxing, 2) don't do as good a job, and 3) take longer to accomplish the same thing. The big advantage to waxing, and why it lasts longer, is that you can rip the wax back the wrong way and damage the follicle, resulting in slower and thinner regrowth. I suppose other than permanent removal, the best approach would be to buy a wax heater and lots of strips.
by Koser from UK	silk & smooth epilady at May 27, 2010 I am looking for Remington smooth & silky epilady model; HR 3 TP or even for replacement rubber rollers for it. I have had mine for at least 20 years and loved it but the rubber has finally broken and Remington stopped making them from years so if any one has one lying around please contact me
by Roseyn Davy from Victoria, Australia	Remington Model HR-1 at May 21, 2010 Have had my Smooth & Silky for years and years and find it keeps on top of my hair growth, however, I need replacement Rollers. Can you please advise where I can purchase them?
by lbr from California	I love it! at April 28, 2010 This is my favorite shaver for under arms and facial hair. I've had mine for many years and it works great. First use has some discomfort, but after that it only tingles. Thanks Remington!
by Joanna from toronto on	exellent epilady at March 9, 2010 I have a few different brands of epiladies, and the smooth and silky is the best epilator I have ever used. It's just too bad that they don't make the ep-1000 model anymore. I hope that it will make a come back, or something similar to it. Thankyou remington for making my dreams of hair removal come true.
by betmat from IL	anyone want a classic? at February 10, 2010 Bought the HR-1 model with rubber discs in 1989 and used it a couple of times but couldn't stand the pain. Might sell it on EBay as a torture instrument.
by judith perye from michigan	fuzzy at May 31, 2008 The product does work, while it works. Just get some skin stuck once and the plastic gears get out of line and break. It happened to two separate devices and I won't buy another!
by joni	VERY GOOD!! at August 21, 2007 Great Machine!! I've had mine for 3 years now and it works great! I love how it plugs into the wall and i don't have to buy any batteries! it is also gold plated!
by brittney	good at July 20, 2007 this is good
