Philips/Norelco Bodygroom BG2020 Electric Shaver

Most guys have some body hair that they want to trim or shave off and that is where the Philips Bodygroom BG2020 Electric Shaver comes in handy. This inexpensive shaver is designed to shave close to the skin for a smooth feeling or with its attachments, trim your body hair to various lengths.

I've been using the Bodygroom for a while and while I could think of some ways to improve it, for the price, it is good for basic grooming. I also appreciate that it's rechargeable and waterproof so I don't have to worry about electrical cords and even more so, I can use it in the shower.

There really isn't a whole lot to this shaver. You'll find the traditional razor head in the middle that will shave you right down to your skin and provide a smooth shave against your skin. With regular use, I haven't had any irritation problems and when I am done, my skin does feel smooth. On either side of the razor are more traditional clippers that will cut whatever hair you are grooming to just above skin level. I've found it to be easiest to just use the clippers to trim the hair in the area I want to shave and then run the shaver over it to get a really close shave. There are also several attachments of varying lengths for the clippers that let you trim your body hair to various lengths instead of just cutting it off.

This is a rechargeable razor. The instructions say it has 50 minutes of cutting on a full charge. I've never even come close to using it that long, but it's never run out of juice on me.

I have found that the trimmer part of the Bodygroom works really well. The razor part on the other hand works, but sometimes you've got to go over an area multiple times to get a smooth shave. I figure since I didn't expect to get a great razor with something that only cost about $40 when I bought it, I can live with the extra shaving.

In the end...

It's not the best razor I've ever had, but it does what it's supposed to and the clipper portion of the groomer is great. It does make trimming and shaving my body hair easy and quick. In the end, I'd say that if you're looking for a relatively inexpensive razor and hair trimmer for body hair grooming, the Philips Bodygroom BG2020 Electric Shaver is a good choice.
