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

I've tried a number of shavers for the groin area and the results were usually burning irritation and some blood involved. I was even surprised that one brand, which showed the unit in the commercial being stroked across a balloon without popping, but I was left with some razor burn and some blood when I used it. No bueno.I wasn't about to bite the bullet and buy a shaver that cost north of 30 dollars thinking it would do a better job. I think a shaver at that price is ridiculous. So I picked this Bodygroom shaver based on the positive reviews with a bit of skeptical hope.This unit arrived very quickly and I put the unit to use the very same day. I thought I'd give it a try first on my underarms since it wasn't as sensitive as my groin area albeit still a challenge because the area has wrinkly ridges so I would get nicked in the past. I had no issues with the Bodygroomer. It's great that there are blades on both sides of the head. That helped with getting the hairs despite the growth direction.Being satisfied with the results on the underarms without drawing any blood, it was safe enough to try and conquer the groin area. I realized the key to this shaver was the tiny guide comb surrounding the blade. There is the smaller one already installed which can be switched out for the longer comb if you just need a trim and prefer to leave some length. The comb with the tiny teeth goes close enough to shave the hairs off and prevents the blades from mangling you down there. The result is a "close enough" shave, but not smooth as a blade. I also like that this shaver is shaped like your regular analog blade so it can be manipulated and maneuvered easily. I loved knowing I didn't have to be too gentle for risk of getting cut. I was able to get right in there.I'll be honest and admit that I wanted a trimmer that could be used beyond the family jewels. For the first time in my life I was able to tackle that area, including around the *ahem* rear chute. I feel cleaner, happier now. Finally, a mangroomer that can take care of the groin area and then some.I am more than satisfied with this shaver. Worth every penny. I do have to mention that when I was using the trimmer, the guide popped off a couple of times because I might have been pressing to hard, so I thought I'd mention that. I don't know if this will cause an annoyance down the line, but I can't get over that this shaver handled the job right up to the backside and even though it wasn't the closest shave like a blade, it was definitely close enough without any mangling or decapitation. I still have to tested it in the shower on the area that was getting longer with the additional comb attachment and the process was so easy because the cleanup went straight to the drain and the blade rinsing was right at the spigot before I turned the water off. So good, I'm considering purchasing a backup unit. I don't know how some people still got nicks, even when following directions because I was going at it full mower mode. Safest product I tried for groin trimming.

Once I got started I really didn’t know where to stop. Ended up doing a whole body shave pits to toes Tiny little close to the skin stubbles but way lots better than chemical burns or ingrown hairs. Like mowing the yard you may have to come at the hair from different directions. Just take your time, use a light pressure and don’t rush it. Work very well if the hair is less than a quarter inch to begin with.There was a learning curve and the first shave took about a half hour. I did a whole body touch up the next morning in about ten minutes to pick up the stragglers. The wife liked the look and feel so much that I’m shaving every two to three days now.With the regularity the full body shave takes less than fifteen minutes and any spots I may miss are caught on the next shave. I get five to six shaves on one battery before I notice the slowing of the motor and I change to a new battery before it may affect the quality of the shave.All in all it’s easy to use and easy to keep clean. We are both really happy with the product and most of all the wonderful results.I would suggest you get the PFB Roll-on for your manly underparts after you shave. Absolutely no ingrown hairs after three months of shaving.Enjoy Yourself…UPDATE!!We liked the sharpness, ease and clean shaven results from this shaver so much we bought a second one to keep on the shelf incase they become unavailable later in the future. For the price it is well worth it as a sort of insurance that I can keep my body smooth, clean shaven, and well groomed for my wife’s (and my) pleasure… Thanks…

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.

Does the trick. Husband and son both love this groomer. Great sale, ship, packaged great
