5 out of 5 stars The "Bodygroom"   May 15, 2006
Mega Mega (Indiana)
526 out of 529 found this review helpful

If you are insecure about the body grooming process and are not comfortable about his subject "STOP READING THIS NOW". This was meant for informational purposes only.

Yes, the rumors are true...I am now the proud owner of the Norelco "Bodygroom". And let me just say this "A+ Norelco, well done". Now lets get into my formal review of the product.

Appearance: Very nice, comes with a charging stand...fits in your hand nicely...easy to hold on to at awkward angles. Trimmer guards are a nice clear bright blue color...easy to find in the messiest of drawers. They are easy to pop on, however they can be stubborn to get off.

Underarm Hair:
This area was the most time consuming...the product did its job, however I would use it in conjunction with something a little more beefy to knock it down first...this is probably a first time only concern as follow-up jobs will be much easier.

Chest and Ab Hair:
No problems, a very nice look obtained with the number 2 guard.

Groin:
Lets just say the "Bodygroom" is Shaft, Beanbag, and Starfish safe. No nicks or any pain...no worries...that does not mean go in there like a maniac...take your time...the two trimmers on the front and back(allow for push or pull stroke) knock down the forest while the foil on top produced nice smooth skin...Like any shaving product redness and skin irritation are inevitable (24 hrs later), however I noticed that the skin irritation was only about one third that of standard Mach 3 shave. The skin irritation was limited to the inner thighs (Shaft, Beanbag, and Starfish showed no signs of irritation)....Here is a word of warning, if you are a hairy man in the posterior / back (buttocks cheeks) region, I would not suggest going bald there...although the bodygroom does yield very smooth results, re-growth maybe a little annoying.

All in All the boodygroom is a great product and offers a safe way to prep those sensitive areas. I can not at this time give you a female perspective on this product...I can only assume that it will yeild similar results...I will keep you informed of any new developments.



5 out of 5 stars The best "personal" trimmer yet   April 14, 2006
Syke27 (Seattle, WA)

I want to start this review by saying, I love this item. I want to then say, I don't believe there is a product out there yet that doesn't hurt a little in certain places - even a regular manual razor can cause some discomfort in places. Also, I think this product, though it potentially trims everything should be used in combination with other items. I also use a G-290 and a straight edge razor.

That being said the Bodygroom did an EXCELLENT job anywhere I used it. Conventional trimmers/clippers cannot be used underarms or around groin areas because the teeth are too wide apart. It will actually pull the skin and can cut. The Bodygroom has much, much smaller teeth and while there are still places I wouldn't try it out, it handles other spots like underarms and PARTS of the groin area with no issues. For $40, it's entirely worth the money.

EDITED 5/22/06 - So many negative review on here talk about their facial hair. Let's see... the website, the owner's manual, the box itself... hmmm. EVERYTHING tells you this is for below the neck hence the name "BODYGROOM". It sucks to see negative reviews from people that are too ignorant to read before they use. Use this on your body, and use it properly and you'll be very happy with the results.



5 out of 5 stars Read the instructions!   May 20, 2006

I just used the trimmer for the first time this morning, and I'm very satisfied with the results. I find that the positive reviews thus far have been on the mark. To optimize your experience, I suggest reading thru the included instructions. The trimmer requires an initial eight hour charge. Also, don't leave the trimmer continously charging. Doing so will drastically reduce the life of the battery. Here's a direct quote from the instructions: "Do not use the Groomer to shave or trim facial or scalp hair. The Groomer should only be used on skin below the neckline." That should address some of the negative reviews. As for myself, I really liked that you could either push or pull the trimmer to get better access to some areas. (Note if you are using the blue plastic guides, you'll have to flip them around to trim in the opposite direction.) Depending on how much hair you have, the blue guides will clog especially if this is the first time you trimmed a particular area. This is not unexpected and a quick poof of air on the trimmer resolves the problem. I suspect this will be less of an issue when you get the hair down to size and are simply maintaining the length. Go slow! It's easy to want to rush especially when you are getting near the end. Take your time and your patience will be rewarded. If you have a lot of hair, it might take more than one initial session to get the results you want. Personally, I'm happy with the purchase and the price. I would definitely recommend this product to others.


5 out of 5 stars Finally an electric men's body shaver that works!   May 18, 2006
Bob Walter (Seattle WA USA)
48 out of 48 found this review helpful

Until the Bodygroom arrived, the only choices for men (or for that matter women) who wanted to shave more than legs or underarms, were expensive, poorly-performing electric "body shavers" that cost $50 and up.

I wasn't positive that Norelco's entry into this area would be any better. Their regular razors always irritated my face (I use a Braun for my face), so I wasn't sure a body entry wouldn't irritate my sensitive skin. Since they have a 90-day money-back gaurantee, I decided to give it a try.

I am happy to report that the shaver doesn't irritate my skin at all, does a great job on both long and short hair, and works exactly as advertised. I am particularly fond of the plastic trimmer attachements which let me tame some long hair without removing it all. Cleanup is a quick rinse under the faucet.

While this shaver does work in the shower, I discovered that wet skin has a lot more friction than dry skin. The shaver was a lot easier to use on dry skin. All in all, this product does everything it claims to do. The value is very good, and the quality is excellent. By the way, Norelco has a cute web site advertising this product (that's how I found it. The Wall Street Journal wrote the web site up), [...].



5 out of 5 stars Worked perfectly   May 28, 2006

Product worked perfectly. I'm going in for surgery soon and thought I'd deny the nurses the great pleasure of shaving me with their Bics (usually with no shaving cream). As a result here I am clean as a newborn. I had lots of fine, curly hair and it's ALL GONE. I probably went beyond the surgery area, but once started it's hard to stop! I didn't use any of the combs, just the cutter. No cuts, scrapes, hair pulling etc. Nice to find something that works as advertised. Recommended.
