Bodygroom Series 5000, BG5025/40

Surprisingly this thing takes body hair down like my high dollar foil shaver for my face at 1/3 of the cost. It gets it much smoother than you would imagine, especially for the price but better yet, it won’t bog down, snag, or leave any razor burn. Zero skin irritation and very smooth. Specifically bought this for back shaving (comes with arm/extension) due to most other options being a razor type which sounds like a bad idea (it is…very) or an overpriced plastic arm with a garbage foil shaver melted to it (these $100 back foil shavers are garbage and not up to par with even phillips cheapest options. You’re better off taping a Phillips One-blade to a stick for back grooming… and yes it actually works well if you’re very patient haha). The arm does feel like it could be sturdier but it’s nothing that feels like it will break during normal intended use, still blown away over the foil of the shaver itself though. Cannot recommend enough for back grooming. (My body hair, while very very dense, is not corse. Your mileage may vary)

I've used multiple brands of electric trimmers made to reach your back. This one is by far the most comfortable to use. So far, it gives a very good trim and it's EZ to clean and maintain. Just pop of the head and rinse it out. I also recommend the occasional dipping the head into a bowl of soapy water (I just use liquid hand soap or dish soap) while it's running for about 30 seconds. Cleans it out very nicely. Others that I've used for my back were sometimes uncomfortable or even cut me (electric razors/trimmers shouldn't do that), but this one has been comfortable every time and leaves my back (or any other part I want to remove unwanted hair from) smooth. It feels well balanced. I've had it for about 6 wks now and it still running great and feels like it will last - time will tell. Battery life is great so far. No complaints. My biggest concern before purchase was how well the handle extender would hold onto the trimmer (e.g. would it fall out while in use), but that hasn't been an issue and the way it feels I doubt it ever will be. It snaps into the handle quite well and doesn't feel loose at all.

Pros: - Relatively small - Side blades (but not the foil portion) are excellent and safe for all private parts - Head is fixed, no rotation or swivel, but this is a good thing as the swivel on the 7000 series makes it harder to use in armpits, back or pretty much anywhere - Quick and safe for armpits, waistline, and just below (but not too much farther, see cons) - Charge port is located where you would expect, unlike the 7000 series - Back extension actually works for the most part - Waterproof Neutral - Don't expect skin close shave, but in my personal experience it's not good to get skin close shave in armpits or waistline. Any closer and you risk the hair follicle infections common with a close shave in sensitive areas. But you can get one step away from skin close with the foil portion or two to three steps away with just the side blades. Cons - Center foil will snag and rip hairs from the scrotum, best to use a manual razor for this area. I have yet to find an electric that works in the area. Note that the head on this razor is the exact same as the one side of the 7000 series. - No head guard/protector or case - No charge level or required indicator that I can tell (but even the 7000 series is pathetic in that it only indicated when it needed a charge and did not provide an actual charge level). The LED is on when charging and turns off when fully charged. - Power cable is cheap plastic. Doesn't hold shape well and will just go wherever it wants instead of neatly where you wish it would. Unknown - Battery life. I've never had to use this razor for more than a minute or so as it's quick enough to complete what I need. I can't speak to other comments that it doesn't last long enough as I've never had an issue. But I have used for several days before I randomly decide to charge just to be sure it was ready for the next time. Summary I highly recommend this razor OVER the 7000 series, which I returned. For reference, the traditional razor side of the 7000 series was worthless, best to use a dedicated razor for beards or scalp. This razor is excellent for the armpits and waistline area. Literally only 10 to 15 seconds in each area and I'm good to go for my level of satisfaction. But understand not for the scrotum area. But I've never found another electric product that works that far down below.

Came as described and quickly. Perfectly packed and fit my razor like a glove.

Excellent shaver

The trim guards are okay. The shorter ones are great for trimming down hair that's already short enough. The longer guards are okay for bringing down long hair that needs to be trimmed down shorter. The battery life is great. And the waterproofness is also excellent and I've not encountered any issues. The foil shaver is okay for some spots, but if you need to use it on your face, I would not recommend this. The foil itself is not of the best quality but it can't do with some body areas, but you shouldn't use it on the face, because it cannot deal with the sensitive skin that is present along the face.

Excellent grooming set. Dependable and durable. Good value.

FUTURE EDIT: Not great for the downstairs area but it still works. The leg trim had me hopeful, but if your downstairs hair is any longer or thicker than your leg hair, you will have issues. Got nicked once and you really need to cut most of it with scissors before this trimmer starts doing anything. When trying to use the length guards, nothing gets cut. I've discovered that this product works on dry hair wayyy better than wet hair, so if you try to wet your hair to reduce friction it'll be a skidding slip n slide that is completely ineffective. Original Review: Was cautious to order this but was pleasantly surprised! I shaved just one of my legs to test and compare. I hadn't shaved my legs in around a year, for reference. I have thick blond leg hair and wasn't expecting the razor to work right away, without any pre-trimming or length guards. Amazing! No nicks or tugging on the hair. Cut through with ease. Definitely not a close razor shave but, will help you get there faster by getting the bulk off, which is exactly what I was hoping for.

Tried a few before buying this one. Cheaper ones tended to cause a rash on my skin. This one was perfect, more expensive but you get what you pay for

Really a great Product to use in the more private areas of the body. The power is great as well as the trimmer quality. I most probably will never be needing anything else for a long time.

Works very well to trim chest, back, arm hair. Battery lasts months and the extension arm makes it very easy to reach.

Fast 1 Monat Lieferzeit. Paket war neu überklebt und siegel am Produktkarton gebrochen, also eindeutig geöffnet gewesen. Nicht sehr vertrauens erweckend, eventuell schon gebraucht. Er macht im Endeffekt das was er soll, man muss aber oft über die Stelle rüber gehen.

I received product on time .really satisfied with the product
