oraimo SilkSmooth OBE-210N is now in stock at Mascom International for KSh 1,900, carrying 36 stainless steel tweezer discs, two rotation speeds of 1,650 rpm and 1,850 rpm, an 800mAh rechargeable battery rated for 45 minutes or more of cordless use, and an IPX4 water resistance rating that allows washing under a tap. The oraimo SilkSmooth arrives with a Precision Trimming Cap, a Type-C charging cable, a cleaning brush and a welcome guide. Buy it at our store: Old Mutual Building, First Floor Room 4, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD, open Monday to Saturday, 9:00 AM to 7:00 PM.
The oraimo SilkSmooth is built for Kenyan women who are tired of the razor-and-regrowth cycle. A single salon wax in Westlands or Kilimani runs KSh 800 to KSh 2,500 per session, and stubble returns two days after a razor. Pulling hair from the root instead of cutting it at the skin surface pushes regrowth out to two or three weeks. University students at Strathmore, USIU and Kenyatta University, nurses working night shifts at Aga Khan and MP Shah, salon owners, and frequent travellers all buy the oraimo SilkSmooth for the same reason: it turns a recurring salon bill into a one-off KSh 1,900 purchase you can use in your own bathroom, at your own pace.
Unlike other electronics retailers in Kenya who list personal care devices with copied manufacturer text and no support desk, Mascom International stocks the genuine oraimo SilkSmooth OBE-210N, backs it with warranty coverage, and answers your questions before and after you pay. Customers across Nairobi report that the device pays for itself within two salon visits. Walk into our Kimathi Street shop to hold the oraimo SilkSmooth and see the tweezer head turn before you decide, or order for countrywide delivery and pay only when the package reaches your hand.
Common Questions About the oraimo SilkSmooth
What does the oraimo SilkSmooth actually do to remove hair?
The oraimo SilkSmooth grips hair with 36 rotating tweezer discs and pulls it out from the root, rather than slicing it at skin level the way a razor does. As the head spins at up to 1,850 rpm, the discs open and close in sequence, catching several hairs per pass. Because the follicle is emptied rather than trimmed, regrowth takes roughly two to three weeks instead of one to two days, and returning hair comes back finer with a soft tip instead of the blunt, prickly edge a blade leaves behind.
How long does the oraimo SilkSmooth battery last on one charge?
The oraimo SilkSmooth runs for 45 minutes or more per full charge on its 800mAh battery, which covers both lower legs, both underarms and the bikini line in a single session with time to spare. Charging takes up to 150 minutes through the included Type-C cable, using any 5V/1A phone charger, power bank or laptop USB port you already own. Cordless operation means no trailing cable in a wet bathroom and no dependence on a socket during a Kenya Power outage.
Does the oraimo SilkSmooth hurt, and how do I reduce the sting?
The first two sessions sting, and then it drops off sharply as hair thins and you learn the technique. Start on speed one, which turns at 1,650 rpm and suits fine hair, before moving to speed two for coarse underarm or leg hair. Warm the skin in a shower first, pull the skin taut with your free hand, hold the device at a right angle to the surface, and move slowly against the direction of growth. Evening sessions give overnight redness time to settle.
Can I use the oraimo SilkSmooth in the shower?
Yes. The oraimo SilkSmooth carries an IPX4 rating, which means it resists splashing water from any direction and can be rinsed clean under a running tap. Wet use with a little shower gel is the most common way Kenyan buyers reduce the pulling sensation, since warm water relaxes the follicle. Never submerge the device in a full basin or bath, and never charge it while damp. Dry the head fully before storing it in a humid Mombasa or Kisumu bathroom.
Who should buy the oraimo SilkSmooth at KSh 1,900?
Anyone spending KSh 800 to KSh 2,500 per salon wax should look at the oraimo SilkSmooth, because two visits cover the whole cost. It suits students on tight budgets, nurses and hospitality staff whose shifts end after salons close, brides and travellers wanting smooth skin at Diani or Watamu without booking anything, and anyone who simply prefers privacy. It is a women's body device for underarms, arms, legs and the bikini line, not a facial tool and not a clipper for scalp hair.
How does the oraimo SilkSmooth compare to razors and waxing in Kenya?
Cost and interval separate them. A razor costs KSh 150 to KSh 500 and leaves stubble in two days. A salon wax costs KSh 800 to KSh 2,500, needs an appointment, and lasts three to four weeks. The oraimo SilkSmooth costs KSh 1,900 once, works at home at midnight if you want, and holds results for two to three weeks. Waxing still edges it slightly on speed over large areas; the SilkSmooth wins on price per year, privacy and having no wax, strips or mess.
Which body areas does the oraimo SilkSmooth handle?
The oraimo SilkSmooth is rated for underarms, arms, legs and the bikini line. Legs are the easiest starting point because the skin is less sensitive and the surface is flat. Underarms need you to raise the arm fully and stretch the skin, and hair there grows in several directions, so work in short passes from more than one angle. Treat the bikini line on speed one and keep the head moving. The included Precision Trimming Cap shortens long hair before you epilate.
How do I clean and maintain the oraimo SilkSmooth?
Switch the device off, detach the head, and brush the tweezer discs with the included cleaning brush to clear trapped hair and skin cells. Then rinse the head under a tap, since the IPX4 build allows it, and leave it to air dry completely before reassembly or storage. Do this after every session, not once a month, because leftover hair between the SUS301 stainless steel discs blunts the grip and raises the chance of irritation. Recharge every few weeks even when idle.
Is the oraimo SilkSmooth worth it against a Braun Silk-epil?
Braun Silk-epil models sell in Nairobi between KSh 8,000 and KSh 22,000 and add more tweezers, wider heads and extra caps. The oraimo SilkSmooth covers the same core job of root removal, wet and dry use, and cordless running at roughly a fifth to a tenth of that outlay. For a first epilator, or for a household where two or three people want one, the KSh 1,900 price removes the risk of spending KSh 15,000 on a method you may not stay with. oraimo also has Carlcare service centres in Nairobi.
Technical Specifications
Tweezer Head and Hair Removal Action
- 36 tweezer discs open and close in rotation, catching several hairs per pass over the skin.
- SUS301 stainless steel tweezer material resists rust in humid coastal bathrooms and stands up to repeated tap rinsing.
- Root-level removal empties the follicle, so regrowth reaches the surface after roughly two to three weeks.
- Returning hair grows back with a tapered tip rather than the blunt stubble a razor blade leaves.
- The angled head holds the discs against curved surfaces such as calves, ankles and the underarm hollow.
- Detachable head design lets you brush and rinse the discs clean between sessions.
Speed Control and Handling
- Speed one turns at 1,650 rpm, plus or minus 250 rpm, and suits fine or first-time hair.
- Speed two turns at 1,850 rpm, plus or minus 300 rpm, for coarse underarm and leg growth.
- A single control cycles off, speed one and speed two, so you switch mid-session without stopping.
- Rated power draw of 5W keeps the motor quiet enough for a shared hostel or family bathroom.
- Contoured body gives a firm hold with wet hands, which matters during in-shower use.
- Slow passes against the direction of growth pull more hair per stroke than fast sweeping.
Battery Capacity and Charging
- The 800mAh lithium battery supplies 45 minutes or more of continuous cordless running per charge.
- A 5V/1A input charges the pack in 150 minutes or less through the bundled Type-C cable.
- Type-C means any modern phone charger, laptop port or power bank refills it, with no dedicated brick needed.
- Cordless running removes the shock risk of a mains cable near a wet bathroom floor.
- One charge typically covers three to four full leg-and-underarm sessions before the next top-up.
- Charge it away from water, and only once the head and body are fully dry.
Water Resistance and Hygiene
- IPX4 protection resists splashing water from every direction during shower and post-bath use.
- The head rinses directly under a running tap, clearing hair and skin cells in seconds.
- Warm water and shower gel soften the follicle, which noticeably reduces the pulling sensation.
- Do not submerge the device in a bath, basin or bucket, since IPX4 does not cover immersion.
- Rinsing after each session stops bacteria building between the discs and irritating the skin.
- Air dry completely before storage to protect the contacts in humid Mombasa and Kisumu homes.
Build Materials and Portability
- Lightweight moulded body fits into a handbag, gym bag or overnight case without adding bulk.
- Cordless design and Type-C charging make it practical for weekend trips to Naivasha or Diani.
- The battery holds charge between uses, so it stays ready for occasional rather than daily sessions.
- No wax, strips, blades or refill cartridges are ever needed, which removes any running cost.
- Simple two-speed control means no screen or app pairing to learn before the first session.
- Model OBE-210N is the current oraimo epilator, sold through oraimo's official Kenya channels.
Attachments and Everyday Use
- The Precision Trimming Cap shortens long hair first, so the discs grip cleanly instead of tugging.
- The included cleaning brush clears trapped hair from between the tweezer discs after each session.
- Evening use gives short-lived redness the night to settle before you head out.
- Exfoliating two days later reduces the ingrown hairs that follow any root-removal method.
- Skin left taut with your free hand gives cleaner grip and less discomfort throughout.
- Sessions repeat roughly every two to three weeks, dropping in length as hair thins over time.
