5.0 out of 5 stars
For the smooooth man, 26 Sep 2008
Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Programme (What's this?)
I got this for my husband and waited with baited breath while he went off and used it, hoping that he might come back looking like the guy on the box - with a tan, a six pack and drum-tight muscles (see pic, above). Sadly, this was not to be...
However, he did come back SMOOOOOOTH. And he said this about the Bodygroom:
It was easy to use and didn't pinch or cut anything. It zipped off the hairs painlessly and left the skin very smooth (I can vouch for that). The instructions were easy to follow and 'the thing' was easy to use, he said. He also said (rather bashfully) that he had used it 'everywhere'.
When pressed for more detailed information he demured (tetchily), suggesting I let Amazon readers draw their own conclusions about the areas into which the Bodygroom had strayed. He assured me that it never hurt or pulled or did anything that would make him refuse to use it again, and he concluded by saying it did exactly what it said on the box and he would give it five stars.
Now please could he go and watch the telly.
So there you have it. It works and it works well. My husband is very critical and picky and would not have awarded 5 stars if it didn't deserve it. I've had a feel and his smooth parts are still smooth several days later, so it seems to have done a long lasting job!!

Don't get carried away!, 26 Sep 2008
Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Programme (What's this?)
Dear reader,
As a member of the Amazon Vine program, I get sent free books, software, and other products to write reviews about. Having reviewed childrens' book, virus checkers, and some rather ropey chick-lit, I was surprised to see this item on the list. I would have loved to have been in the meeting where Amazon executives said "Tell Philips I'm sure our reviewers (especially the ones using their real names!) will be more than happy to shave their genitals and write about it on a book review site, send us 50 of the things!". Dear reader, I have not done that.
But I have had a quick go at buzzing just about everywhere else; the back of my neck (with able assistance from my fiance), underarms, and a few spots here and about in the name of scientific interest. I can safely say this is a good product; painless, effecient, good battery life, solid feel to it, waterproof, good accessories, easy to clean.
Really then the question is this: where do you want to shave and why? When I looked at a few reviews for similar products some reviewers clearly thought this was for shaving their face; it is not. It's for shaving everywhere else apart from your face, a concept that previously resided only in female products. Incidentally this product is quite an experiment for Philips; the other experimental product launching this year is an "intimate massager" for couples, I can't wait to see the reviews for that! If you do happen to be a model, professional swimmer, or enormous showoff, then this is the right product for you. Ain't half itchy when it grows back though, I'll warn ya. Oh, this is however I'm sure a lot more dignified than waxing if that's what you streamlined menfolk are doing at the moment.
One word of warning; when you see the chiselled, tan, well muscled and hairless chap on the box you might get tempted to think that if only you buzz away those errant hairs that you too might become an oiled Adonis. If you're anything like me that will come as a disappointment...

Excellently designed, super safe!, 22 Sep 2008
Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Programme (What's this?)
You can tell instantly that some thought has gone into this product - straight out of the box the unit is sleek and solid, with a professional chrome finish and an obviously sturdy build. There's little to get used to with just a few attachments - very handy as there aren't too many little bits to store away / get lost.
Thanks to a very clever design combining clippers and a foil together, the main shaver head both trims (first) and shaves (second) hair down at the same time as it passes over the skin, meaning that it's quick and efficient. The head protrudes on a thin, angled neck, making it easy to follow the contours of the body. And there are absolutely no nicks or pinches - although it does a fantastic job of cutting very close, it's extremely safe - pretty vital for this kind of product! The shape is particularly good for men who want to do the tops of their shoulders / backs - although it's a bit like using a buzzing loofah, it does the trick!
There is an extra trimmer head with attachments to cut at various lengths up to around half an inch, which makes the unit very versatile for all kinds of grooming. The whole thing stores away neatly on its charging pod (8 hours charging gives you 50 minutes of use), and the heads can be easily washed under running water - just as the shaver can be used in the shower for a wet shave.
A great buy for anyone wanting to take care of themselves quickly, efficiently and without pain!
