How We Picked
Men of the past were big, burly, and hairy!
But things have changed and now the hair that was used to protect us from the elements is now considered “gross”, particularly body hair. So, why do not you just use a traditional razor to take care of all of that gross body hair?
For starters, a traditional razor completely removes any trace of hair. Secondly, traditional razors can hurt, especially when they are used in the “sensitive” spots. But, you have options – tons of options.
Body groomers are designed to help remove hair safely without taking forever. Today, we are going to show you ten of the best body groomers available right now. These are budget-friendly, user-friendly, and easy to use. If you have been using a razor to handle all of your body grooming needs, stop right now.
We are going to show you ten tools that are much more effective at removing body here than any traditional razor.
Philips Norelco Bodygroom Series 7000
Specs:
- Model Number: BG7030/49
- Battery Type: Lithium-Ion
- Battery Life: 80 Minutes On Single Charge
- Water Ready: Yes
- Warranty: 5-Year World-Wide Warranty
Starting off our list is a brand that is well known in the manscaping market. Philips Norelco has consistently produced some of the highest-quality products for men and women alike.
The Bodygroom Series 7000 is an easy-to-hold, lightweight, cordless, wet/dry body groomer with dual-sided technology (that’s a mouthful). Starting out, the Bodygroom 7000 has a 4-direction pivoting head that is designed to fit anywhere while providing a smooth, close shave. The foil cover is matched with rounded, stainless steel blades to avoid skin irritation. Plus, it can cut both long and short hair at the same time.
But, there are times when you want to do more than just cut “down to the skin”. In those moments, all you have to do is flip it over to start using the integrated, adjustable trimmer (dual-sided). Instead of having to attach additional parts and/or accessories, all you have to do is select the link that you want (ranging from 1/8″ to 7/16″) and start trimming. Again, you are protected from nicks and cuts with the included guard.
The Bodygroom 7000 can be used in wet or dry environments as it is “water-resistant”. When you are finished working with it, all you have to do to clean it is run it under some water and give it a good shake or two.
Philips Norelco made sure you would have plenty of power with an internal lithium-ion battery that provides 80 minutes on a single charge while only requiring 60 minutes to recharge. Plus, there is a battery light indicator that let you know of the battery is getting low. And, if the battery does happen to die, you could use it while it is charging (not in wet environments).
What We Like
The dual-side design makes this one of the best body groomers on the market. Being able to switch from an ultra-close shave to a detailer by simply flipping it over is awesome. The fact that you can adjust to the different lengths with one finger just makes it better.
Overall
Getting into those tight spaces will not be a problem with the Bodygroom 7000 from Philips Norelco. The 4-direction pivoting head ensures you will get a clean cut every time while the adjustable-length trimmer will make it easy to create your perfect look.

Gillette Fusion ProGlide 3-In-1 Styler
Specs:
- Model Number: Fusion ProGlide Styler
- Battery Type: AA
- Battery Life: Up To 1.5 Months Of Standard Use
- Water Ready: Yes
- Warranty: No
Gillette has been making men look great since 1901. Over the years, they have developed some of the most sought after grooming tools for everyone. The Fusion Series has consistently outperformed other “comparable” brands and the Fusion ProGlide 3-In-1 Styler shows us why.
The Styler looks like the fat, big brother to a standard Fusion ProGlide razor. It is beautiful with a highly contrasting black/blue/gray color scheme. It is wrapped in an easy-to-hold rubberized handle and it weighs just barely more than a pound.
This is an all-purpose styler that is designed to handle almost anything including your face, chest, legs, and even your nether regions. It comes with the ability to cut at four different lengths: 0mm, 2mm, 4mm, and 6mm. 0mm can be achieved without any type of guard/attachment. 2mm, 4mm, and 6mm can be achieved using one of the three included guards/attachments. When needed, you can turn the razor over and finish out any detail work using the precision trimmer.
Gillette is known for making most of their products wet/dry compatible and their Styler is no exception. Cleaning the Styler is a breeze as all you’ll need to do is place it under running water and give it a quick shake. It is powered by 2 “AA” batteries which should last around 1.5 months before needing replacement. The blades are replaceable and should last 3 to 6 months comfortably.
What We Like
The included countertop stand makes it easy to keep everything in one place. It can hold all of the adjustment guides, the trimmer, and even a few replacement blades. The Styler itself is extremely easy to hold, even when wet, due to the rubberized handle.
Overall
For those who like traditional razors, this is purely an upgrade. It does not have a large footprint, making it easy to get into tight places. The four length settings make it easy to create your masterpiece. For those who want an all-purpose body groomer that can even handle some facial work, the search is over.

Philips Norelco OneBlade Face And Body Trimmer/Shaver
Specs:
- Model Number: QP2630/70
- Battery Type: Lithium-Ion
- Battery Life: 60 Minutes On Single Charge
- Water Ready: Yes
- Warranty: 5-Year World-Wide Warranty
When the OneBlade first came out, it seemed kind of gimmicky. But, it did not take long for it to prove all the naysayers wrong. This is one of the lightest, easy-to-hold trimmers on the market weighing a little under 1 pound. It has a contour-following, pivoting head to make sure it gets into every nook and cranny of your face and/or neck. While it is called the OneBlade, it actually comes with two – one for your body and one for your face.
Now, the OneBlade is not designed for ultra-close cuts. While you can use it for facial hair, it will leave you with an amazing “5 o’clock” shadow. It comes with four stubble combs and one body comb to make detail work ultrasimple. And, it is designed to work in a wet and/or dry environment.
It is powered by an internal lithium-ion battery that can last for up to 60 minutes on a single charge. Recharging the OneBlade will take approximately 4 hours, so make sure you plug it in overnight. Cleaning the OneBlade is simple – remove the attachment guards, place it under running water, give it a shake.
Both of the blades are replaceable and last for approximately 4 months (statement based on 2 facial shaves per week). The replacements cost anywhere from $10-$15 per blade so you should expect about $30-$45 for continued-use cost per year.
What We Like
Having a 5 o’clock shadow is one of the manliest things in the world. The problem is, it is extremely hard to achieve. With the OneBlade, not only is it achievable, it is repeatable. You could shave every hour with the OneBlade and still have the perfect 5 o’clock shadow.
Overall
For those looking for a pubic hair trimmer, keep looking. For everyone else, your search may be over. The one blade is designed to provide a clean, safe cut without getting too close. For those who are sensitive to razors, this is one of the most innovative products on the market. You can forget “razor rash” with the built-in dual-protection system, designed to cut you close without getting “too close”.

- Battery Life: 60 Minutes On Single Charge
- Water Ready: Yes
- Warranty: 30-Day Money Back Guarantee + 90-Day Warranty/Exchange
Now, we are going to focus on a product from the Shark Tank. That is right, the Lawn Mower 2.0 from Manscape was presented on Shark Tank (series) and Mark Cuban even jumped on board, seeing huge potential in this company.
Starting out, the Lawn Mower 2.0 does not look any different from any of the other body trimmers on the market. It is small, lightweight, portable, and easy-to-hold; basically, it is the same as everyone else.
Or is it?
Manscaped has developed a brand specifically tailored to a man’s nether regions. While most body groomers are designed to handle heavier applications, the Lawn Mower 2.0 is designed for the safety of your “special” parts. In fact, they are pretty ballsy about it (just watch their advertisements; almost NSFW).
The groomer is very light with a fixed head/blade. The blades are designed to last for approximately 3 months under normal use and they feature a special SkinSafe technology to protect you from accidental snips. Unlike most other body groomers, this one has a high-speed, 6000 RPM motor; it will not get bogged down even in the heaviest and/or thickest hair. Plus, it comes with two detachable trimming combs to give you up to four length settings, making it perfect for detail work.
It is waterproof and shock resistant so it can handle any environment, wet or dry, while also surviving most any fall. It is powered by the internal lithium-ion battery that provides up to 60 minutes on a single charge. But, it does take a fairly long time to charge, coming in at around four hours.
What We Like
Manscaped is not shy about what their trimmer is for. For those who dread keeping their private parts trimmed, this is the perfect solution; it was built specifically for that. This SkinSafe technology will protect you from accidental cuts no matter how sensitive the area.
Overall
For those who do a lot of below-the-belt trimming, you will love the Lawn Mower 2.0 from Manscaped. Featured on Shark Tank and endorsed by Mark Cuban, this body groomer will do more than other groomers while providing an exceptional cut every time.

MANGROOMER Ultimate Pro Back Shaver
Specs:
- Model Number: Ultimate Pro
- Battery Type: Lithium-Ion
- Battery Life: 90 Minutes On Single Charge
- Water Ready: No
- Warranty: 2-Year Warranty
Since we are talking about hard-to-reach places, let us talk about another area that gets overlooked – the back.
We can cut what we can see, but it is easy to forget about the back. Plus, it is not easy getting back there to begin with. That is about to change with the MANGROOMER Ultimate Pro Back Shaver.
This is a very large device meant to make it easy to reach behind you. It does not weigh a lot, but it packs a big punch. It can unfold to give you all the links you need and it even locks in place with an “Extension Lock” button. When you get caught in a thick area, just hit the power burst mode and it will plow right through. And, you get two different types of cutting heads – one for up close and one for knocking it down; both blades are 1.8 inches wide so it is a breeze taking care of your back.
The MANGROOMER will last around 90 minutes on a single charge but it can take up to four hours to recharge. This is not designed to be waterproof so you should try to use it in a wet environment. And finally, unlike some other “specialty” groomers, this one comes with an actual two-year warranty from the manufacturer.
What We Like
It is hard enough reaching your back, much less cutting the hair on it too. This takes all the pain out of back grooming. If you have got a hairy back, you need this!
Overall
Most body groomers forget about their back – not anymore! The Ultimate Pro Back Shaver from MANGROOMER is the perfect accessory for those single men who do not have a partner willing to trim their back. Avoid the “hidden forest” with this easy-to-use back groomer; your partner will appreciate it.

For those who want everything in one convenient package, this is it. The PG525 is small and extremely lightweight, while giving you the ability to start high and end low. The small, fixed head makes it easy to navigate in the toughest of places, white the stubble comb makes it easy to handle detail work. One extra of the PG525 is the 8-length hair clipper attachment making it possible to start at the top of your head, unlike some of the other body groomers.

And while it is powerful, that is not what makes this the perfect all-in-one/head-to-toe kit on the market.

Panasonic Cordless Wet/Dry Beard And Body Trimmer
Specs:
- Model Number: ER224S
- Battery Type: Rechargeable
- Battery Life: 40 Minutes On Single Charge
- Water Ready: Yes
- Warranty: Limited 2-Year Warranty
When you have thick hair, you need power. And the Panasonic ER224S is powerful! It looks intimidating and it should be – for your hair. When plowing through thick hair, you do not want something small and weak. This is a large beard embody trimmer with an extremely powerful motor which is fed by an internal battery that feeds it. The battery only lasts 40 minutes on a single charge, which is low. But, the reason why the runtime is so short is because of how much power it is feeding the motor; thick hair is no longer a problem. Recharging the battery will take an extremely long time so it is best to leave it overnight. If you do need power in a pinch, just plug it in and it is ready to go.
Adjusting the length of cut is super simple with a rotary dial that gives you up to 14 adjustable settings. And when you are finished, clean up all the details with the included detailed trimmer. The blades are precision-honed and supported by a soft-spring system to avoid any type of skin irritation.
What We Like
Even though the run time is short, the power that this puts out is amazing. It is not small by any means, but it is not so big that it is uncomfortable. It does not feel like a toy!
Overall
If you have killed body groomers in the past with your thick hair, then you want the ER224S from Panasonic. It will not get bogged down and you are not going to kill it. The motor will absolutely plow down anything in its path.

Specs:
- Model Number: MG5090
- Battery Type: Rechargeable
- Battery Life: 30 Minutes On Single Charge
- Water Ready: Yes
- Warranty: Limited 1-Year Warranty
Here is another all-in-one body groomer that can do so much more. This 3-in-1 from Braun can handle body hair, facial hair, and even give you a haircut. It has an extremely wide cutting surface to make long grooming sessions a thing of the past.
The cutting head is covered with their patented SmartFoil technology to protect you from nicks and cuts. Once you finish shaving, you can turn the adjustable styler and go down your sideburns and beard lines. And, if you do not want to cut all the way down to the skin, simply use the adjustable comb in one of the four length settings: 1.2mm, 2.8mm, 4.4mm, and 6mm.
This is a waterproof groomer so you can use it wet or dry. The battery is a protected, internal lithium-ion battery that will last for around 30 minutes on a single charge. Recharges will only take about an hour, but if you need power in a pinch, a five-minute charge will give you enough for a single trim. This is one of the only “international body groomers”, as it is capable of working with 100V up to 240V. This means that it has a worldwide warranty too.
What We Like
We are fans of a true all-in-one solution. This is another body groomer that does so much more than just handle body hair. The included attachments make it easy to customize your beard and/or other body hair. The attached styler is a little gimmicky in design, but it works extremely well.
Overall
For those who do not enjoy taking forever trimming up some areas, the 3-in-1 from Braun will take care of you. The extra-wide cutting head is easy to use but it is not designed for tight places (i.e. lower regions).

Finishing off our list is a unique offering from Remington. The rest of our body groomers have been candy bar shaped, but Remington has flipped the script in giving you a truly handheld body groomer.
This is one of the widest body groomers offered from Remington; it is approximately 60% wider than any of their other body groomers. It is able to cut as close to 0.2 mm making it perfect for those ultrasmooth cuts. If you would prefer, it comes with five guide combs giving you control over how short the cut ends up. A really neat feature that Remington offers with this is an extendable handle that attaches to the groomer. This lets you handle your back as well as your front.
Battery power is still limited to around 40 minutes on a single charge, but this should be sufficient for most cutting sessions. Plus, it will work internationally as it can accept 100V to 240V; this means that the warranty is worldwide.
What We Like
This is the only handheld body groomer on our list. Unlike all the others, you can hold this comfortably in your palm. The extendable handle makes it easy to reach around to your unseen areas too.
Overall
Remington has covered everything now. This handheld, ultra-wide body groomer can make even the thickest of hair disappear. It has a dual-sided blade to make it easy to go in any direction and it will last up to 40 minutes on a single charge. Now, there is no reason why you cannot groom your whole body.
Buyer’s Guide To Find The Best Body Groomer
Finding the right body groomer for you can be hard, especially if you have used a razor in the past. It would be easy to fall in love with any body groomer after that type of experience. But, we are going to make sure that you will not only fall in love with your next body groomer, but stay in love with it too. Here are the features you need to look for when considering/comparing body groomers.
Corded / Cordless
For the most part, body groomers will be cordless. Some of the more budget-friendly body groomers might not work without being attached to a cord, but even that is falling away quickly. Batteries are a lot more powerful and they are not nearly as expensive as they once were, which means that the argument of corded versus cordless really is not a thing anymore.
Primarily, the cord will be used to charge the internal battery. Some cords are connected to a charging/cleaning station while some connect straight to the body groomer itself. Unless your body groomer loses a charge, you probably will not have to attach the power cord.
Battery Life
Everybody groomer on our list is cordless, which means that it has some type of internal battery. In most cases, you will be using this standing over (or in) a bathtub. And getting into those “tight” or “private” places are already going to be uncomfortable enough without a cord attached to it.
Having enough battery power to last through the whole session is paramount. Most cordless batteries will last between thirty minutes and two hours on a single charge. Of course, ambient temperature will affect the performance of your battery. Extremely cold and extremely hot temperatures will cause your battery to lose effectiveness and potentially performance.
The best battery currently available for any electronic device is a lithium-ion battery. These tend to put out the most power while lasting for a long time when compared to other batteries such as alkaline and/or nickel-cadmium.
Wet / Dry
While everybody groomer on our list is cordless, not everybody groomer on our list works well with water. So, make sure that the body groomer you are considering says waterproof or water resistant.
For the most part, you will not be using your body groomer in the shower. Showering makes it harder to see what you have done and what is left. Again, if you only use a razor to handle your manscaping needs, you are going to be in for a big surprise.
Where a wet body groomer works best is when you are going to be doing a “down to skin” session and you will be using shaving gel. Make sure you know what you want to do before you purchase a body groomer. If you do not intend to cut all the way down to the skin, then it really does not matter which body groomer you pick. If you do intend to cut all the way down to the skin, then you will need to make sure that you find a wet-compatible body groomer.
Our recommendation would be just to make sure that you get one that does both.
Blade Quality
If you have ever used a cheap razor (i.e. dollar store, gas station, hotel), then you understand what a bad blade feels like. It will leave you with skin irritation, bumps, cuts, and more.
So, you will understand what we mean when we say find a body groomer that has a high-quality blade. Currently, the best blades to work with our stainless steel rounded blades combined with a foil shaver/cover. However, some manufacturers have started using titanium blades; these are thinner and sharper but can be a little rougher on some people (i.e. sensitive skin).
One way to figure out if a blade is high-quality or not is to look at the cost of the replacement blades. If the blades are fairly cheap, there is a good chance that they will be uncomfortable and/or rough. Sadly, you get what you pay for when it comes to blade quality.
And considering that you might be working in some private spots, making sure you have the right blades is a BIG thing.
Hair Length Settings
While some people are going to use a body groomer to remove any trace of hair whatsoever, there will be others who just want to keep it nice and neat. Finding a body groomer with built-in adjustment options will make it easier to manscape your body.
Some body groomers do not have built-in adjustments but have attachments instead. Generally speaking, these are called guide combs. These will help to protect you from accidental nicks and/or overcutting.
Accessories
This might sound weird, but making sure that you have enough accessories can mean the difference between a pleasant experience and an “oh crap” experience. Look for accessories that can help you manage and maintain your body groomer like cleaning oils and brushes. Also, make sure that you have some type of travel case if at all possible (you never know when you might need it).
If you can, look for additional accessories such as nose and ear trimmer attachments and even something to protect your “lower” regions.
Design / Size / Weight / Build
This is a big category, but it is extremely important. You need to consider the design and size of the body groomer. Both of these features will determine how easy it is to maneuver in your hand in around your body.
While a large body groomer might not take as long as a smaller groomer, it might not be as comfortable in tighter areas. Also, a larger body groomer tends to way more which means it could possibly become uncomfortable if it takes a long time to finish the job.
And finally, how the body groomer is built can determine how long you will have it. For instance, a body groomer that is made of all plastic might break when dropped. But, a body groomer that is made out of metal might last for years.
Ease Of Cleaning
It is important that you keep your body groomer clean. And unmaintained body groomer is like trying to shave with a razor that is three months old – you just do not do it. There is no reason why you should not clean and maintain your body groomer.
Most body groomers can be cleaned with running water and a good shake. However, some will require the use of cleaning oils and brushes. Make sure you understand the process of cleaning your body groomer. If you do not want to deal with a complex cleaning procedure, then find a body groomer that requires a little water and a shake.
Warranty
And finally, look for a body groomer that has a good warranty. Most manufacturers will warranty the body groomer for up to three years (the average is around one year). This will cover failure due to defects in the manufacturing process and/or workmanship. Blades and batteries tend to fall into a different type of category when it comes to warranty. For the most part, blades and batteries are not covered under any type of warranty.
If you do not want to deal with warranties, then look for an insurance/protection policy during the purchasing process.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I use a regular razor for my body grooming needs?
A: Yes you can – no you should not. While most people use razors to trim and remove hair from every part of their body, there are better tools out there. A body groomer is much more efficient than a traditional razor. Plus, a traditional razor has one setting – no hair. Body groomers are adjustable and can give you different lengths/heights to really perfect the look you want.
And, body groomers are much more effective and time-efficient as they can plow through heavy sections of hair without getting clogged up – a traditional razor tends to get clogged up rather quickly.
Q: Can I use a body groomer on my private areas?
A: There is a good chance that you have already used a traditional razor on your private areas with acceptable results. Sure, there was an impending sense of danger every time you scraped the metal across your “sensitive” spots, but you managed to do it.
Body groomers are safer than any traditional razor under any circumstance. They come with protective measures built-in, from foil covers to guide combs that limit how close you can cut. You can get as close as you want without having to worry about an accidental slip leaving you infertile.
So, go ahead and take care of your private parts; a body groomer is much safer than a traditional razor.
Q: Can I use a body groomer to cut my hair?
A: A body groomer can cut hair. If you try to use it to cut your hair and/or style it, it might work. It will definitely cut it, but that is not its intended purpose. But body groomers are designed to remove hair from the body while still giving you customization (i.e. height, length). In a pinch, you could use a body groomer to cut your hair.
We would recommend that you use a hair trimmer that is designed to cut hair rather than try to make a body groomer work the same. The motors are not the same, the size of the blades are not the same, the oscillating does the same – they are totally different devices meant for totally different purposes. Again, you could use a body groomer to cut your hair but it is not recommended.
Q: Can I use a body groomer on my face?
A: Again, a body groomer is designed to cut hair, which means it could technically cut the hair on your face. However, a traditional razor is one of the best ways to remove all hair from your face. And, if you want a little left behind there are electric trimmers and razors that are designed specifically for your face.
Like we said before (in the last question), it is best to use the proper tools for their respective jobs. A body groomer can be used to manscape your face, but it probably will not do as good of a job as an electric razor and/or a beard/mustache trimmer.
Q: Do body groomers need to be oiled?
A: Somebody groomers do need to be oiled from time to time. If they do, they will generally calm with a vial of lubricating/cleaning oil. However, some use the oils in your hair and/or water to stay lubricated. Body groomers that require oiling tend to be a little harder to clean but last longer than non-oiled groomers.
Q: Do body groomers need to be cleaned?
A: Yes, every type of body groomer needs to be cleaned when you have finished using it. Leaving dirt, debris, stray hairs, and whatever else on the blade and/or guide combs is unsanitary and will degrade the quality of the blade and/or body groomer quickly.
Remember, a dirty body groomer is like working with a three month old traditional razor. It might work, but you are going to have cuts, nicks, skin irritation, and so much more. Since a body groomer goes in places that a traditional razor should not, it is important to make sure that it is clean – after EVERY use.
Q: I have sensitive skin, will a body groomer agitate me?
A: If you suffer from sensitive skin, then a body groomer that is used for a “down to the skin” cut will most likely cause skin irritation. That being said, you can use certain oils and/or creams to help reduce the irritation and/or you can use guide combs that will keep the blade from coming in contact with your skin at all.
Q: What are some mistakes to avoid when using a body groomer?
A: There are several mistakes that you should avoid at all cost when using a body groomer. They are:
1. Overusing Blades
Since blades can be expensive, especially high-quality blades, the temptation to just keep using the same all blade can be hard to overcome. But, once you start noticing that the body groomer is not working as effectively as it used to, then it is time to change the blades out. Using old blades can end up causing cuts and skin irritations, and possibly infections.
2. Do Not Share
This cannot be stressed enough, but do not let someone else use your body groomer. While it seems harmless enough, infections and diseases can be shared through a small nick. While you may think you know your friend and/or family, do not risk it.
3. Stay Away From Your Privates While Wet
While staying wet is the preferred option when cutting your “lower” hairs using a traditional razor, it is a big “no-no” when using a body groomer. Hair that is wet tends to stick together, making it harder to cut and trim. Plus, you really cannot tell what has been cut and what is just hanging on.
