Manufacturer's Description

Philips Bodygroom is the first all-in-one shaving and trimming system designed exclusively for your body, not your face. So now you can shaver wherever you want—chest and abs, groin area, underarms, legs, back and shoulders. It has an easy clip-on attachment so you can shave as well as trim anywhere. Its hypoallergenic foil makes it suitable for sensitive skin, while the chromium stainless steel blades shave even the toughest of hair ultra close and smooth. It’s rechargeable and fully waterproof, so you can also use it in the shower.

Shave and Trim Bodygroom’s dual function shave and trim system allows you total control over how much hair you remove. Go for a super smooth shave or use the special attachment to trim and tidy body hair without completely removing it.

Wet and Dry Because Bodygroom is 100% waterproof it’s easy to clean and is ideal for use in the bath or shower (it even comes with its own hanging cord so you can keep it close to hand).

Less Irritation Bodygroom’s hypoallergenic shaving foil means an end to painful nicks and cuts and ensures an irritation free shave every time – even on the most sensitive of skin in the most sensitive of places.

Ultra Close Long lasting Chromium Stainless Steel blades deliver an ultra close shave and maintenance-free use.

Rechargeable Bodygroom’s charging stand makes charging neat and simple. A single full change (12hr) provides up to 1hr of cordless shaving – enough to deal with even the hairiest of bodies.

Amazon.co.uk Review
In an age when it’s important to look as good below the collar-line as it is above, it’s surprising that us chaps have had to wait so long for a useful little gadget like the BodyGroom, from Philips, to come along.This handy little razor is the first men’s grooming product to be specially designed to help you keep body hair under control. Until now, if you’ve wanted to keep things looking neat below the neckline, you’ve probably been forced to resort to using trimmers, shears and scissors that make the job difficult at best, if not downright scary (there are some places that scissors and razor blades were never meant to go!).

But does it work? Having volunteered as Amazon’s long-haired guinea pig, I was keen to put the product through its paces and find out if it was as versatile as its makers claim it is.

Cordless and waterproof, part of the what’s so good about the BodyGroom is that you can use it anywhere – even in the shower. The unit features an easy to hold, tapered body to help you use it at a variety of different angles depending on the job you are trying to do and making even inaccessible areas quick and easy to get under control. The real secret of the BodyGroom’s success is its dual function shaving head. Featuring a removable plastic guard, the design of the head means that the product works both as a conventional shaver, for total hair removal in some areas, and as a trimmer to trim and tidy in others.

Getting the hang of using the BodyGroom was easy enough and will come pretty naturally to anyone that’s ever used an electric shaver. Of the two functions, trimming is slightly trickier but by no means difficult – just remember to use a mirror to judge the results, especially if trimming below the waist, as you’ll always appear hairier to yourself from above than you would to an onlooker… and you don’t want to end up taking more hair off than you’d intended!

When shaving using the BodyGroom, the hypoallergenic shaving foil certainly does a good job, leaving a nice smooth finish and no nasty shaving rash to spoil the look. The gently rounded shape of the head also meant that there were no nasty nicks even when using the product on very sensitive areas.

Whilst the BodyGroom does come with a full set of operating instructions, these are rather brief and it would have been good if Philips could have provided a slightly more comprehensive set of hints and tips on shaving the different zones of your body.

To recharge the BodyGroom the handle simply slots into a rather funky stand (supplied) where an 8-hour cycle will bring the unit back up to full strength. According to Philips each charge gives the unit enough power for up to an hour of shaving, which based on our experiments should be enough for even the hairiest bodies.

All in all the BodyGroom is a very well designed product that brings men’s grooming products bang up to date. Effective and easy to use, it’ll quickly help you keep body hair under control and is the simple, painless way to a new look. Highly recommended.--Adi Himpson, Amazon.co.uk

Customer Reviews

A close shave... Not!
For this product to make me happy it had to meet one of three conditions:
1) Faster than using a razor.
2) Safer than using a razor.
3) As close and smooth as a razor, or better.

Sadly it does none of them. This product is advertised as being usable places where you may not feel comfortable using a blade. However the trimmers on either side of the shaver make work in close quarters feel risky, as a result it takes at least a long as using a razor.

Finally the closeness of the shave is quite poor. I'm one of those people who never got on with electric shavers anyway, but try to use this on uneven skin and you're lucky to get a smooth look, let alone feel.

So one star for being a waterpoof trimmer. None as a shaver.

Blade shape sux
I have used it couple of times so far, I have found it not very comfortable especially for trimming. I will look for something else. If you want to buy this product pay attention to the blade shape and see if it can be comfortable for you. Mine also came with only on comb instead of 3.

Not Very Good
This shaver is only useful if you have some small patches of light hair. If you are thinking of using it for something like quite thick chest hair don't bother. It clogs everytime and is really not good. Can be painful when it clogs as well. For someone with thick hair this is not recomended at all.
