Philips Norelco Bodygroom 1100

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…

One battery is all it needs, twist off the bottom, put it in, back together, and you're good to go. Simply slide up the gray area to power it on. I found it very easy to use, and no complaints with the placement of the power control. I nicked my tender area once out of my 5 years of use, and I believe it was because the battery was dying. Its efficient, and painless. No skin irritation. It's kind of loud. My only complaint is that I can't find a replacement head. It seems to be built to last, but I didn't make an effort to maintain it, and I stupidly tried to shave my armpits with deoderant on them. The other parts seem to be working, just the head that's messed up and that's my fault. I also lost the guard years ago and that was useful, because I don't like to be bare lol, so it'd be nice to find that separately. Because of the price, I am going to recommend that you go with the OneBlade, because that does come with attachments to groom your body, and its easy to find replacement heads. Like 20ish extra dollars and its superior in my opinion. If you already have a great face razor and want something simple, cheap, and long lasting, this is a solid choice.

La Bodygroom Series 1100 cumple su función. No irrita la piel, es fácil de usar y limpiar. Los accesorios son buenos, sin embargo, en el caso de la cabeza más grande da la sensación de ser fácil de romper pero creo dependerá del uso de cada uno. El corte que realiza es buena con ambas cabezas, es recomendable reducir primero la cantidad de "cabello", en caso de que sea grande, antes de hacer uso de la máquina. No porque no sea capaz de recortarlo sino porque su potencia en este caso no es la necesaria, necesitarás varias pasadas antes de poder realizar un recorte sin mucho esfuerzo. Deja las zonas limpias, sin ardor o irritación además de que es excelente para zonas íntimas. Recomendable y eficaz, se recomienda buscarle un estuche ya que pueden ser fácil de perder o romper los accesorios.

i really enjoyed using this product, works perfect better than i expected a real must get for men who like to shave the sensitive areas.

A good product but slightly pricy... Shave quality can be improved

Comprei esse body trimmer da Philips há 4 anos e ele continua funcionando como se fosse novo. O corte é preciso e suave, e o design é super prático para usar no banho ou em viagens. Já testei outros aparadores, mas nenhum chegou perto da qualidade e durabilidade desse modelo. É o tipo de produto que vale cada centavo e mostra o porquê a Philips é referência nesse tipo de aparelho. Recomendo de olhos fechados!

Ya tenía otra en color rojo. Le quitas el protector de plástico y rasura perfectamente.
