Philips Bodygroom 7000 Series, Showerproof Groin and Body Trimmer for Men, Precise Body Grooming, Adjustable Comb, Safe Even Below The Belt, 80 Min. Runtime, Model BG7040/42

I had a Braun Cruzer5 Body that was great, and I used it for several years until it suddenly stopped working. It had very fine/precise control that was great for edging around a beard and was easy on sensitive skin, and it trimmed/shaved clean to your skin in one pass. Since that Braun was discontinued, I shopped for a replacement and this kept coming up at the top of the list on Amazon. It's expensive, but so is everything now, and the reviews are promising.On this Philips, the shaver head is awkwardly designed and only shaves on weird angles. There's no precision, no ability to detail. The trimmer head has massive blades and is not safe for direct skin contact (the owners manual says so). The built-in depth guide keeps it so it won't cut shorter than 3mm (0.12"), and the design ends up pushing hair out of the way so the blades don't even get to it.After using it for a month, I'm adjusting and getting by alright. It's still no good for precise grooming or clean shaving on sensitive skin, but it's functional enough to keep around.

Woman here, reviewing the Philips brand multi purpose electric shaver for use on my legs, armpits, etc. I wanted a reasonably priced but effective trimmer/shaver, and this one fits the bill. It doesn’t get the hairs _quite_ as close to the skin as a regular razor in the shower would, but it’s still a close shave, and I think it would do even better if the skin was heated and moistened first with hot damp towels. The design and the quality of the shaver is very good. It’s got a good solid feel to it, and it keeps a charge well. I would definitely recommend it to women in particular who are disappointed with the options that are geared towards them and just want something that works.Update: I increased the review to five stars because I found that this shaver does amazing on skin that is freshly washed. I also did a quick first pass followed by a slower pass on my legs, and the closeness of the shave was impressive. I am a very happy customer.

I absolutely love the Philips Bodygroom 7000 Series! It’s super easy to use and works really well whether you’re trimming or going for a clean shave. The fact that it’s showerproof makes it even more convenient, and I’ve had no issues using it wet or dry. The design is sleek, and it feels solid in hand. It’s honestly one of the best grooming tools I’ve used, highly recommend it for anyone looking for a reliable and versatile body groomer!

As a woman, I couldn't be happier with this purchase! I have been looking endlessly for a product like this for a LONG time. Read countless reviews for both men's and women's shavers/trimmers, and came to the conclusion that the Philips Bodygroomer was number one on a long list, and after using it multiple times now, I can confidently tell you that it truly is the best and I couldn't be happier with my purchase! This shaver is incredible quality, and feels like it was built to last, not cheaply made like so many others. The amount of time that it stays charged is more than enough for me, and I haven't run into any issues with it running out of power mid shave. It is so much faster to use this than to use a standard razor, which saves so much more time and makes shaving/trimming so much more efficient. It is incredibly easy to clean, and I found that the included instructions were thorough and easy to follow, especially because this was my first time ever using a product like this. I have used both the trimmer side and the shaver side, and both work great for their intended purpose. If you are new to using a product like this like I was, I recommend testing out the trimmer end first to get familiar with how it works. The shaver/trimmer glides over the skin like butter and shaves/trims without you even feeling the hair being shaved/trimmed. I actually at first thought it wasn't working because I didn't feel anything happening, but to my surprise it had trimmed/shaved the hair without me even feeling it! No tugging or pulling on the hair, as I've discovered through my research is a common complaint/issue with other shavers and trimmers on the market, especially the ones "made for women".For me, the fact that this shaver/trimmer is designed for shaving anywhere on the body neck down, wet or dry, is a game changer, especially because as someone with a chronic illness, showering takes a lot of energy, so to be able to shave anywhere without having to go through the whole process of a shower, and without getting razor burn from using a standard razor dry, has been amazing!Ladies, if you are on the fence about buying this worried that since it's targeted towards men it won't work as well for you, PLEASE don't hesitate! What I found in my research is probably no surprise, the equivalents of this type of product that are targeted/made for women, are cheaply made, poorly designed, ineffective, and have a short lifespan. They aren't built to last, they don't do the job they are designed for, and I read many reviews of women saying that the shavers/trimmers painfully tugged and pulled on the hair while trying to remove it. Do NOT settle for that, or think you're stuck with putting up with it just because they are the only options on the market that are "made for women". If you're unsure if this product works for women just as well as for men, I am here to tell you that it DOES, and it will exceed your expectations! It does exactly what it is intended to do, imagine that! Extremely well built, not cheaply made, designed to last, doesn't tug or pull on hair when removing it, and perfect for BOTH genders! Additionally, I have smaller hands, and despite this product being designed with men in mind, it fits comfortably and naturally in my hand, and is very easy to hold and use at any angle.Final conclusion, if you are looking for a dependable, versatile, high quality, ergonomic, well built, and effective trimmer/shaver that is built to last and does exactly what it is designed to do for BOTH men and women, look no further! You will not be disappointed! It may be a little more expensive than other similar products on the market, but you truly are paying for quality, and I can assure you that this shaver/trimmer is worth every penny! Not to mention the fact that for no additional price, you also have the option of this product coming with a replacement head and case.Buy it, I promise you won't regret it! I only wish I would have found it sooner!

This is a really nice electric shaver I use it to shave all of my body hair and I never get cuts one thing that I didn’t like to much id if your skin gets a little gripy it take off the foil head side with the smaller clipper which is mildly annoying but not to bad just be careful and go slow, and the part is supposed to come off for cleaning so you can just put it back together. But both sides are really nice and it gives you an extra head so you can replace it when you need the adjustable blades are nice too for the one side and I use it in the shower all the time and it gets soaked but I have never had problems with water damage.
