Panasonic Electric Body Groomer and Trimmer for Men, Cordless Washable Wet Dry Groomer with 3 Comb Attachments, Black ER-GK60-S

This product is specialized for one purpose only - to trim and/or shave body hair, including pubic hair, etc. My first (and so far, only) use of this product was very educational. I will share my experience here. I began by shaving around my anus, the perineum (the area between the anus and scrotum), the shaft of my penis, and the area surrounding my penis. I used no guard for all of these operations, with no nicking or cutting of the skin. I shaved the areas dry, not wet. When I attempted to shave my scrotum, without the guard, I did receive a few small nicks and cuts. Nothing serious, but as careful as I was, I was not successful at shaving the scrotum safely. Instead, I purchased a Venus 3 blade razor, and successfully, safely, and quickly was able to shave my scrotum a few days later, using shaving creme, with only one minor nick (not even really a nick) at the base of my penis, due to not being careful enough. The nick was so small it was negligable. That being said, do not use the trimmer to shave your scrotum unless you use the minimal attachment that comes attached to the trimmer when you open the box. You can use the trimmer, with the guide attached to it, to shave the longest part of the hairs on your scrotum to about 1/4 inch. At that point, if you wish to have a smooth scrotum, use some shaving cream with the Venus 3 blade shaver. As far as body hair trimming goes, I shaved my armpits without any attachment, and made them smooth. I also shaved small areas of my shoulders and back with no attachments. For the chest and stomach areas, I think the minimal attachment, is best, unless you wish to shave those areas smooth, in which case you can safely do so with no attachments on the trimmer. All of your shaving with this trimmer should be done dry, with no shaving creme, water, etc. Only use shaving creme or soap to shave the scrotum, with a Venus 3 blade razor - pulling the skin taut, as you do so, so you do not cut or nick yourself. For the job this trimmer is designed to do, I give it an A+. Just don't believe the other reviews which state that you can shave your scrotum without an attachment - believe me, you will probably get some nicks on your scrotum if you follow their advice. Using the Venus 3 blade shaver for my scrotum and shaft of my penis only took less than 5 minutes to complete, with shaving creme, in the bathtub. The battery lasts for a long time. I think my first session took at least 40 minutes, doing my whole body, and the battery had not died yet. The trimmer comes with a two-year manufacturer's warranty, so I doubt you will need the Additional Asurion warranty that is offered. However that's a personal choice. The manufacturer's warranty is very good, and covers worn out parts like the trimmer teeth and batteries, which are a biggie, because the batteries are ni-cad, not lithium. Overall, I can say that I highly recommend this trimmer, for its intended uses only.

I've been buying various Norelco Body Groomers for the last 10+ years and have always been kind of disappointed with their performance. My last dual-sided unit finally gave up the ghost on the trimmer side, and I was ready to try something new. I've always wanted one of the Panasonic hair shavers and just use one of those, but the price kept me away. For the record: I'm a white male with at best described "fine" to medium body hair, so your results may vary if you have very coarse, thick hair. The box has two guards in addition to the standard guard. If you're coming from the Body Groomer like me, the initial silver guard runs a trimming length more or less the same length as if you were running guard free on the "trimmer" side, but with the benefit of having an actual guard on it, which is helpful if you've ever taken a chunk of your skin with the Philips unit. The teeth on the Panasonic trimmer are much much finer than the BodyGroomer, so guard free trimming will get pretty close to a smooth shave, but more on that later. I found it worked best on the neck and below. Using the guard end on my upper lip/face was rather disconcerting, but it might just be a personal feeling kind of thing. Doing my chest/groin/the few shoulder hairs/armpits was fine, if much easier because of the guard on it, and the ergonomics felt better. Trimming my arm hair (I don't really do it that often, but felt like testing the trimmer out) was more of a long winded chore like any other trimmer of this type, but I found I didn't have to go back and forth over the same spot so much as I did with the Philips, even when new. Doing my legs (bike racer here) with the narrow head though, was a long process, and it'd be faster honestly if you just stuck with a razor. On a side note, I really liked the fact the trimmer charger was part of a plug stand instead of having an ugly cable with a barrel connector, which cuts down the bathroom cabinet clutter. I don't particularly like lubricating the blade. I know any good trimmer requires proper lubrication for good cutting, but coming from 10+ years on the body groomers with no need for lubrication makes disassembly and reassembly sort of feel odd. Some angles get a little awkward with the toothbrush angle versus the straight style. The included travel bag is pretty cheap feeling and barely above a ziplock bag as far as quality goes. Long term support/battery life is yet to be determined, but I'm pretty much convinced by the quality it cuts. Nice job, Panasonic!

Trimmer is nice but the blade is not durable. The blade teeth broke after a few months or light use.

Wirecutter recommends this and said that it's the only trimmer that didn't cut any of the testers during the testing period and the unique shape made grooming easier. Those are my goals, so I tried it, somewhat skeptically. *They were right.* I used this trimmer without any of the guards on all the various sensitive areas and, for what might be the first time in my life, I didn't get even one nick or cut. It worked perfectly both dry and in the shower. Because it can get wet, it was easy to clean. I wasn't sure if I'd like the unique shape, but it's actually perfect for grooming and made the whole experience even more enjoyable. My only gripe about it, which isn't enough to impact my rating, is the charger. I would prefer a cord, so it's a little more subtle when plugged in.

Would give ten stars if I could. Listen—the terrain I’m dealing with has been straight up lacerated in ways that made the bathroom look like a surgical suite in a B movie. The cleanup was tedious and the healing was a horror. So I tried a new trimmer—and just trimmed up with this (my old one was a Braun) and I was a little buzzed going into this, ngl, not cross faded but a buzz—anyway, not a single nick and the trim is as close as a 1a at the barber. Not one nick. That’s all I wanted—to not bleed out everytime my GF was coming over. Got that and it’s close and smooth and yep—works. Worth every penny. Ten stars. Def recommend. Smooth and bloodless—what else do you need?

It's one of the best designs shape which its easy to access any unreachable part without any skin irritating Totally highly recommend for only body grooming

I bought this product on amazon.sg, and even though it is shipped from the US, I assumed that it would work in Singapore. However, the charger works on 110V only which means if you want to use it in Singapore, you need a step-down transformer, and a reliable step-down transformer is bulky and expensive. When I tried to return it, I was only given the option to return it via my own means (as opposed to it getting picked up) and wasn't able to because it contains a lithium battery which Singapore Post did not accept for shipping. Using a courier would have meant paying much more than the 30 dollars amazon would have reimbursed. As a result, I ended up not returning the product and losing the money I paid it. Needless to say, I am extremely disappointed!

This is the best body trimmer I've ever owned! The quality is fantastic, and the battery lasts a surprisingly long time. Trimming is clean and even, exactly what I was looking for. I saw some reviews mentioning the blades being fragile, but I disagree. They seem just as sturdy as any other trimmer blades I've used. As with any delicate equipment, just handle them with a little care and they'll be fine. Overall, I'm super impressed with this trimmer. Highly recommend!
