Obviously. I'm using one and you know how smooth my balls are.
I think you know Philips Bodygroom Series 5000 and 3000 have a lot of models . They are defined by mentioning the model number or product number on the back or bottom of the device or carton with sticker or imprinted code . Like BG3017, BG3015, BG3007 from the group of Series 3000 or BG5025, BG5021, BG5020 and etc in the catagory of series 5000.
Which model do you use?

Yes but can you shave your ass as well for next time please?
some parts are difficult to shave like anus.

They do different things. 1st one is for shaving your bits. 2nd one for all head hair.
I want a product for shaving my body and not for my beard and face. Must know 4 terms: Shaver, Trimmer, Body Groomer and Clipper and they are different depend on the type of use and the type of hair.
Shaver is mostly used for beard, Trimmer is for long hair and barbers use it, Body groomer shaves hair body and not suitable for face/beard. Clipper and Trimmer don't cut close to the skin. Also the head of device is different, foil, rotary and razor based on type of hair, thick or coarse.

    I have a Braun Series 5 5807 - a bit of an older (and cheaper) line for them - that does all that. I'm happy with it.

    I don't use it for body grooming, because I'm into bears and all. But it has all the necessary attachments to turn me into skinned rabbit.

    For most of my adult shaving life spanning some 17+ years, I have been a loyal Philips rotary shaver user. Im full satisfied with philips products and two times switched to other brands which wasn't pleasant. I figured let me try the Philips razor body groomers to see what they are offering.

    I have a Braun Series 5 model (All-in-One Waterproof trimmer) and I'm happy with it. Works for body grooming.

    On a side note, I really love Proraso's aftershave lotion. My face feels so refeshed and I love the scent of the eucalyptus and menthol.

    We are under fire and in an unstable situation, entire systems are about to collapse, but I still can't prevent myself from roaming through some stores and looking closely and examining some of the devices. What a fucking cazy I am.

    The postman is supposed to deliver my product by Sunday, because it is being sent by ground mail and not airmail due to the emergency conditions of the war.
    meanwhile, due to the astronomical increase in foreign products I am looking at buying this shaver before significant increasing price and collapsing currency.

    Some notes on the device,
    I have shaved my whole body with this 5 times and to my surprise, it serves a job perfectly and better to my previous bodygroomers. The battery life is impressive as it holds a charge for 60 minutes and only takes 30 minutes to recharge. The engine is top notch. I can use it under shower without any limitation and it works smoothly and it doesn't nick my skin. solid build! The back attachment is very efficient and helps me to reach my back and difficult parts. I always had this problem to shave hair on groin and curvy parts of my body completely off, this problem almost have been sold. Totally I can say that I'm impressed with the quality and closeness and comfort of the shave.

    PS: There are not a lot of good options outside of Philips(specifically bodygroomers), Although some reputable brands like Braun, Panasonic and Manscaped are on the market with hyped advertising around their products but I can say it with certainly(based on my experience) none provide a close shave to the skin and even after shaving your body still snagging hairs and giving deep cuts off and nick the skin. Few of them only work well on flat surfaces with short hairs, but with long and curly hairs they will give you a poor result.
    If you want a close shave with 100% result go for razors like Gillette. Of course you will face with nicking the skin and pretty deep cuts plus some side effects such as body acne, blemishes and skin sensitivity.
