after my old Bodygroom has unfortunately after 3 years break, I decided to buy the successor.
After two weeks now the impressions:
Design: Much better than its predecessor. The shaver looks very classy and makes the bathroom a good figure. The old saw still somehow "cheap" from. If you touch the razor you get off a feeling of quality conveys. Likewise, the material is also absolutely wet slip.
In addition, Philips has the charging station donated a storage compartment for all accessories. This makes the charging station while deeper, the storage space is worth it, however. Otherwise, I had to gather together the accessories always in the entire bathroom.
In addition, the device has a battery indicator on the razor itself was donated. Now a green LED lights up and indicates that is loaded. The old man had only one on the power supply connector. Impractical when the socket was hidden.
Accessories: Since Philips is extremely generous: Ladstation with compartment, two essays for the material to be cut hair length and an additional shaving head to trim body hair and of course power supply. So it should be very laudable and again an improvement to its predecessor
Function:
The shaver does its job properly if the hair is too long you have to go about it, although several times, but the end result is almost smooth skin. Feiner wirds just only with the blade, but the cost of good blades is not worth it to me. I use the Bodygroom only wet with shampoo ask to be shaved on. As a dry shaver I find him unpleasant. (Personal impression) since then quickly occur skin irritation with me.
The device also as described on the packaging no problems with running water and trouble can be used and cleaned in the shower under running water.
Risk of injury does not exist actually. Just be aware with the Langhaarscneider (sitting at either end of the shaving head). This can quickly especially in times Initmbereich cause cuts if handled too hastily. Otherwise, the shave is pleasant and neither allergic reactions even razor bumps occurred in me.
Conclusion:
A good Weiternetwicklung to its predecessor, especially optical and materials technology. The shave remained the same to the previous model, you could hardly do something better. Compared to other systems, such as the BodycruZer of Brown, which I have tried, I can say that the Bodygroom this by inches, and my favorite of the Bodygroom under the full body shaving is and worth the higher price, the Philips at any time by quality and performance gives justified
One star deduction for the risk of injury by the two long-hair trimmer and the uncomfortable feeling in the dry shaving.
