Body trimmer

Why We Chose It

The Philips Norelco Body Groomer 5000 is the epitome of grooming convenience masquerading as a high-tech gadget. It's like a Swiss Army knife, but for body hair. The dual trimmer and shaver heads are interchangeable, because apparently, even body groomers need to be versatile these days. Its Triple Protect technology sounds like something out of a sci-fi movie, but really, it just means you won't look like you've had a fight with a cactus. Yes, it's showerproof. Because who doesn't dream of multitasking under running water? And let's not forget the battery. A full 100 minutes of cordless usage, so you can groom yourself into oblivion without interruptions. In this price range, you'll be hard-pressed to find a more dedicated, if slightly overzealous, partner for your grooming needs.

What It Does

• Shaves without turning you into a pincushion.
• Works underwater. You mermaids, rejoice.
• Runs longer than your last relationship.
• Switches heads faster than a politician's promises.

What It Doesn't Do

• Won't fix your dating profile.
• Doesn't make you a rockstar overnight.
• Won't be your therapist.
• Not a miracle worker for bad hair days.

Tech Specs

• Dual trimmer & shaver for the indecisive.
• Triple Protect tech: shave, don't suffer.
• 100 minutes cordless. Take your time.
• Showerproof, but not oceanproof.

Who It's For

Meet the meticulous metrosexual who sees grooming as an art form. He spends more time in the bathroom than some people do in a gym. Then there's the adventurous outdoorsman, who appreciates the waterproof feature because showers are optional in the wild. Finally, we have the techie groomer, who appreciates any gadget that can switch heads faster than his favorite action figures. These folks demand efficiency, and the Norelco Body Groomer 5000 delivers with the precision of a laser-guided missile. Just don't expect it to solve life's bigger problems, like why you can't find matching socks when you need them.
