2) CARE HAS TO BE TAKEN WHEN IN THE NETHER REGIONS
3) FOIL HEAD WOULD BE BETTER WITH ONLY ONE TRIMMING EDGE
I have been using my wife’s disposable razors (she always gives me a razor) for years now. The usual routine is soaping up and careful manipulation of the deadly weapon (the razor that is) whilst in the shower. So I have used this Philips 7025 Body Groomer twice since receiving it. My wife is out of the country for another week, having been home due to her mother being critically ill, and subsequently, passing on. I have used the groomer once dry, and once in the shower. I have only used it on the undercarriage, though I have a hairy chest, that’s what my wife likes.
In my limited experience of the groomer, it is better to use it in dry mode. In the shower, it doesn’t feel like it’s moving smoothly across the skin. When I used it dry, the foil moved smoothly across my skin and left me as smooth as a well known brand (beginning with G, product is the Greek Goddess of Love) lady’s razor. I was surprised at the performance, having had the top Braun shavers (for my face) in the past. In the shower, I didn’t use soap, and perhaps I should have, but the efficiency on undercarriage shaving isn’t anywhere near as good.
Ignore the no-sayers on here. The reason they’ve been nicked or caught by the foil head is down to operator errror. The foil head swivels in 4 directions. The main one being pivoting in line with the body of the groomer, being hinged at the edges. This means you can alter the angle between the groomer and the foil head to keep the foil in contact with the body’s contours. On either edge of the groomer, is a reciprocating saw (that’s what it feels like when it catches you) ok, blade. This is used for trimming and practising latte art on your tackle. The issue here is, you need to pay careful attention to keeping your skin held tautly, and ensuring that the groomer head is perpendicular (emphasis on dic) to your skin. If you do this, the trimmer will not catch your goolies. It happened only once to me, because I figured out the issue and adjusted how I used it. A better design would have been having just one trimming edge on the foil.
The other issue is that the microfibre bag doesn’t really serve any purpose. It’s not rigid, so it doesn’t protect the unit, and it’s not tailored, so it just looks scrappy. I haven’t used the body hair grooming head at the other end of the groomer. I’m leaving that so my wife can decide how long or short she wants my chest hair. All in all, especially since this was on offer at around 40-50% off the rrp, it is excellent. However, even if I’d paid full price, I’d be very happy with this Philips 7025 Male Groomer. BUY IT, IT’S DOTTORE APPROVED!!!
