Philips Bodygroom Series 5000, Showerproof Groin and Body Trimmer, Close and Comfortable Shave, Complete Body Grooming Including Back, 60 Min. Runtime, Model BG5025/40

Surprisingly this thing takes body hair down like my high dollar foil shaver for my face at 1/3 of the cost. It gets it much smoother than you would imagine, especially for the price but better yet, it won’t bog down, snag, or leave any razor burn. Zero skin irritation and very smooth.Specifically bought this for back shaving (comes with arm/extension) due to most other options being a razor type which sounds like a bad idea (it is…very) or an overpriced plastic arm with a garbage foil shaver melted to it (these $100 back foil shavers are garbage and not up to par with even phillips cheapest options. You’re better off taping a Phillips One-blade to a stick for back grooming… and yes it actually works well if you’re very patient haha). The arm does feel like it could be sturdier but it’s nothing that feels like it will break during normal intended use, still blown away over the foil of the shaver itself though. Cannot recommend enough for back grooming. (My body hair, while very very dense, is not corse. Your mileage may vary)

“One word: flawless. Smoothest shave ever, no nicks, no fuss—just pure grooming precision. Water-resistant, powerful, and ergonomic. My grooming routine just got a major upgrade!”

Just got the Bodygroom 5000, and overall, I like it. It’s easy to use, comfortable to hold, and gives a smooth shave. Cleanup is simple, and it feels well-made. The only issue is that it didn’t come with the comb attachments, which is disappointing. Aside from that, it seems like a solid trimmer, but missing parts is a letdown.

I had a Panasonic 3000 but it was discontinued and I'm guessing the 5000 took its place. I had seen the Freebird shaver advertised a lot so I thought I'd try it. It now sits with other junk that I've bought in the past and have happily gone back to Panasonic 5000. Just like the 3000 it's a fantastic shaver/razor! It shaves closely and it hasn't bit me once! I really hate finishing a shave on any part of the body, face, head and be bleeding afterwards. It simply doesn't happen with the Panasonic. I am really glad to be using it again and only wish I'd saved the fifty bucks on the freebird and gone straight back to Panasonic.

Works great. Does what it was advertised to do. Battery lasts forever. Highly recommended.

I really like this shaver. I have even shaved my face with it in a pinch. And so far I would say this is the best male groomer that I have ever used. I wouldn't necessarily recommend smooth shaving your sack lol but I believe it's totally possible with this.

I've used multiple brands of electric trimmers made to reach your back. This one is by far the most comfortable to use. So far, it gives a very good trim and it's EZ to clean and maintain. Just pop of the head and rinse it out. I also recommend the occasional dipping the head into a bowl of soapy water (I just use liquid hand soap or dish soap) while it's running for about 30 seconds. Cleans it out very nicely. Others that I've used for my back were sometimes uncomfortable or even cut me (electric razors/trimmers shouldn't do that), but this one has been comfortable every time and leaves my back (or any other part I want to remove unwanted hair from) smooth. It feels well balanced. I've had it for about 6 wks now and it still running great and feels like it will last - time will tell. Battery life is great so far. No complaints. My biggest concern before purchase was how well the handle extender would hold onto the trimmer (e.g. would it fall out while in use), but that hasn't been an issue and the way it feels I doubt it ever will be. It snaps into the handle quite well and doesn't feel loose at all.

Pros:- Relatively small- Side blades (but not the foil portion) are excellent and safe for all private parts- Head is fixed, no rotation or swivel, but this is a good thing as the swivel on the 7000 series makes it harder to use in armpits, back or pretty much anywhere- Quick and safe for armpits, waistline, and just below (but not too much farther, see cons)- Charge port is located where you would expect, unlike the 7000 series- Back extension actually works for the most part- WaterproofNeutral- Don't expect skin close shave, but in my personal experience it's not good to get skin close shave in armpits or waistline. Any closer and you risk the hair follicle infections common with a close shave in sensitive areas. But you can get one step away from skin close with the foil portion or two to three steps away with just the side blades.Cons- Center foil will snag and rip hairs from the scrotum, best to use a manual razor for this area. I have yet to find an electric that works in the area. Note that the head on this razor is the exact same as the one side of the 7000 series.- No head guard/protector or case- No charge level or required indicator that I can tell (but even the 7000 series is pathetic in that it only indicated when it needed a charge and did not provide an actual charge level). The LED is on when charging and turns off when fully charged.- Power cable is cheap plastic. Doesn't hold shape well and will just go wherever it wants instead of neatly where you wish it would.Unknown- Battery life. I've never had to use this razor for more than a minute or so as it's quick enough to complete what I need. I can't speak to other comments that it doesn't last long enough as I've never had an issue. But I have used for several days before I randomly decide to charge just to be sure it was ready for the next time.SummaryI highly recommend this razor OVER the 7000 series, which I returned. For reference, the traditional razor side of the 7000 series was worthless, best to use a dedicated razor for beards or scalp. This razor is excellent for the armpits and waistline area. Literally only 10 to 15 seconds in each area and I'm good to go for my level of satisfaction. But understand not for the scrotum area. But I've never found another electric product that works that far down below.
