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

The real deal. I’ve bought this trimmer twice in my life, and I only had to buy a new one because I lost the guard on the last one. This thing is a beast, cuts through hair and leaves a great shave with little to no nicks. It only starts to pull on hair towards the end of its life but it lasted me almost 4 years before needing replacement. Long lasting, great performance and can take a serious beating before it gives up. For 20$ it is absurdly worth its price. I won’t even bother trying the new models because the designer peaked when he created this one. Well done Phillips, I will always recommend you to anyone who will listen.

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.

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.

Wow. The shaver just arrived and I tried it out “down under”. It’s amazing. Smooth and easy to use. I love it, does a great job. No more shaving cream or razor down there.

It worked ok just not as close of a body groomer shaver as zi thought it would be but am keeping it

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…

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.

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.

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

He tenido varia afeitadoras de bodygroom de diferentes marcas y sin duda esta es una de las mejores. Tener claro que no es una maquina de afeitar, solamente permite recortar el pelo, trae dos cepillos con dos longitudes, siendo la mas corta casi como una afeitada, es cómoda, se puede usar en la ducha y es lo suficientemente suave y segura como para ser usada en sitios delicados.

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!
