When trimming body hair, excessive sweat/moisture can be really annoying. Sweat can therefore be a major problem, especially if you use a guard/comb attachment as the hairs will stick to the skin and the blade won’t catch them. They’re pretty effective even when the hairs stay flat on the skin and the blade never gets clogged. A lubricating spray for clippers or electric shavers will also work great.
And it has 13 attachments (including several guards, ear- and nose-hair trimmers, and a precision trimmer), so it’s useful for grooming other body hair, too. The Multigroom Series 3000’s rechargeable battery lasts for about an hour of use—20 minutes longer than our top pick does. Wahl’s hair clippers and beard trimmers remain the brand’s calling card, but its wet/dry body trimmer proves the grooming powerhouse is more than equipped to handle the areas below your neck too.
It’s powerful but tiny, perfect for hair-by-hair styling if you’re looking for finesse in your trimmer. Also, when showering right after trimming your groin, I recommend using warm or even lukewarm instead of hot water as that can also irritate the skin. I personally prefer a dry philips shaver trim as shaving cream is messy, takes more time and I can’t really see much with all that lather. If you use shaving cream/gel, you obviously don’t need to bother with drying the skin. The sensitive skin on your privates will make things a lot worse if it’s not perfectly dry.
Like earlier Manscaped models, the 4.0 also comes with two length attachments. It’s a great tool, but it is pricier than our picks and isn’t covered by a warranty. Manscaped offers a 30-day money-back guarantee on all its trimmers. Good lighting is a must for this task, and mirrors may be useful for those who are new to the technique. When you are trimming near the delicate skin of the scrotum and labia, especially, it helps to pull the skin taut so that it’s less likely to come in contact with a blade.
Here, we’ve compiled the top-tested Lab picks, as well as highly-rated and vetted products from our go-to online shopping sources, for the best and smoothest shave. Plus, the 411 on how to use electric razors, how to choose and how to clean them. Our men shavers are designed to suit your needs and make the shaving enjoyable. Thanks to the water resistance technology use the shaver at your convenience for maximum comfort and perfect results. Easily access tough to reach areas with flexing large shaving heads that follow every curve of you head, face and neck.
The Philips Norelco Multigroom Series 3000 MG3750, our budget-pick beard trimmer, is also a serviceable pubic hair trimmer. Compared with the Panasonic ER-GK60-S, this model is less maneuverable overall—particularly around hard-to-reach areas. With sharp steel blades, this water-resistant trimmer cuts pubic hair easily.
Regardless of the brand, the groomer will likely use a variation of these types of cutters. For example, I found the Manscaped Lawn Mower 4.0 to be particularly unforgiving when used without a guard over sensitive areas.
Each panelist used at least two different length settings (using different guards, or going guard-free) on each model, trying them both in and out of the shower. We looked for units capable of precision, but lacking extreme sharpness — the ability to cut everything you need to various levels, but not cause pain while doing it. These are the most effective and comfortable body hair trimmers to be used down there. This is a very effective system for cutting body hair close to the skin since it’s fast and comfortable as the two blades that flank the foil usually have rounded teeth to prevent the skin from getting nicked.
Just be cautious when using as one reviewer noted the nicks on his neck after shaving. This one is lightweight, easy to grip and, with its bright-light-green colouring, a breath of fresh air visually. The 360 blade travelled along with the shape of my face, which meant I could trim difficult-to-reach sections and didn’t miss any hairs. Like a lot of men, I became alarmingly obsessed with the quest for the perfect beard styler during lockdown. Unable to go and ask a Turkish barber to trim my facial hair into a perfectly contoured thing of beauty, I was forced to try and do that myself in my bathroom.
Danusia Wnek conducted the Lab test on electric shavers and provided lots of information about the testing and how electric razors work. She has been testing skincare products including but not limited to eye creams, serums, night creams, neck creams, facial oils and moisturizing creams for over seven years at the Good Housekeeping Institute. She has experience in using specialized skin evaluation lab equipment to gauge changes in skin moisturization, firmness and facial features like wrinkles and texture before and after product use. She also regularly polls our consumer panel on their purchasing and product use habits as well as weighs in on the benefits of skincare ingredients like vitamin C, retinol and niacinamide. A wallet-friendly option for this category, Conair’s multi-tasking tool is easy to use and has the longest period of use from a quick five minute charge, according to Lab testing.
