Philips Norelco Bodygroom Series 1100, BG1026/60, Showerproof Body Hair Trimmer and Groomer for Men

OKAY SO!This is the only trimmer that hasn’t nicked me and I’ve tried pretty much all of them. It also creates no razor bumps! The down sides… be careful if one of the blazes is bent it can grab, also it takes many swipes to cut hair going over 3-10 times for an area. It’s only a personal fav based on sensitivity and the trimmer cover is flat with the blade so you can get a close shave without irritation. Honestly I’ve tried meridian, mower, one norelco, powders and a dozen other groin area trimmers. This is my FAV for sensitivity with close shave with VERY low chance of nicks! Not for easy shaving! I still prefer a high powered or razor for less sensitive areas but I just can’t do razor bumps ect it’s terrible

The fact that I'm here writing a review for this product means I either love it or hate it. Well I love it. It's the first and only shaver I can use safely on my junk with literally no concern of cuts or nicks whatsoever. You can go to town and press as hard as you want and you won't cut yourself with this guy, which is better than every product I've ever tried. Not only that but it gets a very close trim, to the point where I would say most electric foil shavers cannot get this close, and only wet shaving would be better. If you have a lot of hair to start with, I will warn it's a time consuming process to get that smooth, but you can get nearly baby smooth with it after 15 minutes or so, and with the bonus of not making yourself bleed or bracing yourself for pain constantly.And it's reliable. Or at least it is for me. My purchase history shows I bought this 2 years ago and I have used it probably every other week for 2 years with few issues, plus my wife occasionally uses it as well. I recall changing the battery maybe twice in that time which is pretty unreal. One minor complaint is the included sensitive skin protector guard is cheap plastic and is slightly loose now and doesn't stay attached perfectly if I'm really aggressive with it, but if I go slower it stays on fine. However if that flimsy plastic guard breaks I would want to replace it, which probably means buying a whole new groomer just to get that little piece.I would say, don't use this as a wet shaver. It claims to do that, but it doesn't work well at all. You really need to use it on dry skin to get the best results. If your skin is damp or wet it will not glide well and won't cut very well as a result. Don't even bother using it in the shower. Use it before your shower, not after.I have been primarily using this as a nether region trimmer, but it's so good on those sensitive skin areas that I thought - after much washing, hehe - I would try it on my neckline around my beard. I always have issues with electric shavers in that area because my neck skin easily gets razor burned and irritated and red from electric shavers. Sure enough though, this magical little body groomer was able to take care of that area and get it very smooth with not a single red bump or irritation mark on my neck and no pain at all. Unbelievable. Not only does this groomer not clip your skin, it also doesn't EVER pull hairs. If you use a steady smooth technique and don't go too fast, you will literally not experience any discomfort whatsoever.The fact that this thing is AA battery powered is a bonus to me. Every single shaver I've ever used for 20 years has a rechargeable battery that goes to crap after a year or less of charge cycles, but this little $20 groomer keeps on going. And you can throw it in a travel bag and it doesn't take up much space, and you don't have to lug around the charger everywhere. Lithium-ion shavers are total junk after a year and might as well be permanently connected to a power cord anyway because you'll never be able to unplug it by then.I give this groomer an A+, and not only that it's arguably one of the best value-for-dollar items I own today. I might buy a couple more as backup just in case mine dies at some point. But so far it just keeps on working with no issues.

Hair removal matters greatly for reducing bacterial growth. It also great when you need to use creams or salves in sensitive areas. and I confess I never groomed my sensitive areas until about age 30. In hindsight, I wish I had started this practice in my teens.As shown in my second photo, the Norelco Body Groom shaver (with the green checkmark) was intended to replace my old battery powered groomer (with the red checkmark.) That old shaver went into the garbage once I had full confidence in the new Norelco. Yes, I still have the others as shown.The old groomer always nicked and cut my skin in sensitive areas like under my arms and in super private areas. And yes, so did all the other shavers in the second photo, which are higher powered. Those products are NOT purposed for sensitive areas (and one is designed for nose hair) but I thought I would mention this in case it crossed anyone's mind.The great relief was that regardless how I positioned the Norelco shaver, no harm was done to my skin. NO MORE PAIN WHILE GROOMING.So yes, the Norelco shaver will help you cut back ungainly body hair. The caveat is that you will most likely need to retrace over the same areas a few times to get an 'even' result.The Norelco shaver runs on one AA battery. My old groomer needed three. The Norelco shaver has a twist-then-pull design to open the battery compartment. It also came with a strong battery.My old shaver's battery cover broke in its first year. I had to keep it shut with a thick rubber band. In contract, this new battery containment design used by Norelco should stand the test of time.I also like that the Norelco has a shower wrist band, because frankly, if you are shaving 'hard to reach' body areas in the shower, this will stop the shaver from falling out of your grasp and smashing on the floor.For sanitary reasons, when done using all my shavers, I spritz alcohol mist on the heads to disinfect them. Then I turn it on for a brief moment to distribute the alcohol.I feel this product was worth the money spent.
