I use the Philips Bodygroom Series 1000. It has 2 combs. One that trims at 0.5 mm and the other that trims at 3 mm. I use it with the 0.5 mm comb on the armpits and groin area. No irritation. The trimmer is waterproof. The only downside is that it's not rechargeable. It runs on an AA battery.
I've been using a trimmer along the line of the Braun Series 5 - BT5450 for 5 years now. Battery is great never fear of having to charge it all the time. With the twist knob on the front you have a lot of fine adjustments, comes with a series of combs so you can trim a longer beard without fear of cutting to much.
@@coolthebeast643it’s terrible, I wish I could refund mine. The 5.0 ends up pulling hairs more than cutting. And it slips over a lot so you have to over the same spot like 20 times. What used to take less than 5 minutes with a normal razor now takes almost an hour to get a clean shave
@@joshwilson1574 what do you have, barbed wire pubes? I have the 3.0 and it works great. I use mine in the shower so maybe that's the difference, although I used to use it dry and I never had issues with pulling.
@@coolthebeast643 I have the 2.0 Probably the best trimmer I’ve had. I see some folks complain about snags and cuts, but I’ve never had that issue. I’m also very gentle around my goods, idc how well they advertise skin safe. I still take my time and do it right. Be sure to replace your blades (most ppl don’t) every few months & you’re good.
Tbh I have the 3.0 and just bought a 5.0 ultra for $86 and only did it because I was satisfied with the 3.0. I do not see why he is hating on manscape so much in this video, but we all have different opinions. If you’re looking into buying a manscape, I suggest the 3.0 because it is cheap in retail stores, running around 30-60 and comes with the same things. Personally I was satisfied with the 3.0 and decided to upgrade and have faith that the 5.0 will be better. Of course if youre satisfied with the 3.0 I suggest holding onto it till manscape comes out with a new trimmer since these last a really long time.
Will be honest I was just about to buy a landscape and after watching your well put together a video I feel that it is not necessary for me to make a purchase with manscape. many of the things you stated were well understood and prove that manscape is not for me I also like the fact that you show the fairness when presenting the pros and the cons and why not I mean I'm just going to keep looking for the right type of trimmer which I need I found one but it's disappeared because it was on one of those websites I don't remember where it was anyways I'm hoping to find it again because I think that's the appropriate blade that I need and yes I would also agree with you sometimes having too many things all in one does not necessarily mean that it is better yet it doesn't mean that it is bad however functionality might be imbalance. so for now thank you for your input and yeah I think I will stay away from manscape for the time being.
To be fair, the price he quoted for the Meridian isn't accurate (any more) or a fair comparison. Lanwmower 5.0 is now $99 and the Meridian plus is $89. Not that big a difference.
@@stevej3611 There not and Manscaped is just overpriced and bad quality too. So nobody need this little LED light and also it doesn´t have a ceramic blade like other brands have.
Here’s what ya do: Grab the sack but not the testies, and stretch. It’s called the Bat. Check out a comedy staring Ryan Reynalds and Justin Long called Waiting for a more detailed explanation.
my honest hopinion on why foil blades have that trimming blades on the sides is that if you want to shave longer hair, it wouldn't get caught in the little holes of the foil unless it got trimmed down to a certain length first so the hairtips would actually get caught in the foil blade
That is true! Starting with trimmed hair first also helps a lot. I have had bad luck with those trimming blades on foil shavers - namely on the Phillips Mangroomer.
I was gifted the 5.0 trimmer and after 2 days, returned it. I liked the light and Qi charging but totally ineffective for its intended purpose. Shame it sucks as it has potential but doesn't deliver... Terrible guards and very expensive, with great marketing but crap execution. Sent it back for the Norelco 7K Bodygroom instead and is objectively a MUCH superior product.
It's crazy how much they charge for it. I bought a body hair trimmer for $40 and it does a fine job. You really don't need to spend a lot of money to get the job done.
I'm between Philips Norelco Bodygroom Series 7000 (for 50€) or Meridian (for 117€) . Can you help me choose? At the moment I'm using the Philips One Blade
I’m thinking about getting it just for the foil shaver since I already have a 3.0 but do u think I should get an actual beard trimmer since the foil blade has the side blades he was talking about. I don’t really want those side ones just a foil blade
I have been wanting to get my hands on the Brio Beardscape but it is out of stock here, please let me know when is the next stock drop for Brio in Australia?
Even after watching this I still bought a manscaped lawnmower and I couldn't be happier. Why? Because they're the only ones that charge with USB-C, which given it's 2024 you would think should be common place. I'll take the slight shaving inconveniences over having to have bundles of cables everywhere and gosh forbid you lose it you have to contact the manufacturer to replace it and yeah nuh no thank you. Please use USB-C and I'll buy yours.
This 100%. I can’t stand having proprietary chargers everywhere, especially when traveling. Plus this one is like half the size of the Brio he recommends. If they remade the Axis with USB-C it would probably do well.
My 4.0 died to rust which shorted out the motor. They advertise as waterproof yet the internals couldn't even take shower water? Idk man I'd prefer usb c too, but I'd take a better product over convenience.
@@TimberWulfIsHere I sometimes like to imagine a world where we could have both a good product and USB-C. To each their own, I just think it's insane that this apparently bad product was able to put USB-C and these massive brands can't do it.
Thanks great review and informative. Unfortunately, the landscape will always be more popular since they're marketing is king. Few people are going to watch a 10-minute video to see if the purchase makes sense relative to the people who are exposed to an ad.
thanks for the video! very helpful info, i've used an older version of the phillips one you showed, i've used it for like a decade at this point, it does alright in that it does the bare minimum required for me to trim hair on my person lol. i agree about the foil/trimmer combined head, it's totally useless and honestly it hurts when i try to use it (tried it on my pubic hair, non-scrotal area haha, and on my head which i shave bald or trim close to scalp, and yea it jsut fucking hruts in both cases, but i haven't notice it to break skin so far, just really pulls on hair and feels abrasive. anyway the battery is useless, to be fair it's super old at this point and the battery is prob shot but it also wasn't good to being with, wouldnt last a full shave of face and head. and i /hate/ that it can only charge in the base. why tf do they do that, i don't want to have to display my trimmer on my bathroom counter in a little stand lmao it's the most useless inconvenient thing. Battery powered shavers should also be able to shave while plugged in to an outlet, as in you can use it while it's charing. like surely that's a thing? can anyone recommend a model?
The Meridian Plus is $89 and the Lawnmower 5.0 is now $99. Not a significant difference as you described. Yes, both are waterproof - the LM 5.0 is IPX7 rated. I feel like if the Meridian was, they'd boast about that rating. Acknowledging that you published this video 7 months ago, it bears updating.
This thing advertised as you can trim anywhere (and I mean anywhere) without getting nicked and cut to shreds! So is it true or just an expensive marketing gimmick for an expensive average shaver? Anyone bought one? What’s you thoughts? That price tag though wow.
It will die on you within the year. 1-5 have nothing but shit reviews because they die sooo fast. It's like Manscape refuse to listen to their reviews. They've learned nothing and change nothing. Bet money on it
I have the 4.0 and i think its horrible for balls. Ive seen commercials where they use the trimmer without a guard on a kiwi, but if you use the trimmer without a guard on them balls you getting nicked instantly and badly
Back with the 4.0 I had to get it replaced 3 times because it would stop working after less than a month of use. I thought I was doing something wrong until the last one i got actually outlasted the others, however the button would sometimes not work. Its an extremely overpriced item and i cant even trust that it'll work.
The battery Life of my Lawnmower 4.0 was short , it just passed my warranty date. The shaver should also have a easy way to replace the battery and not completely enclose the Shaver like they have it now. They gave me a Special offer on the Lawnmower 5.0 . I don't like either the foil shaver with 2 trimmers (1 on each side). That concept is not real good or not impressive s0 I will not use it. 🤓 ❤ 👍 👁
The Phillips trimmer is hands down the best, the lawnmower sucks... I used it for a week and went back to the Phillips which is like 1/3rd the price and far superior, Manscaped marketing really got me, buyers remorse....
Yeah and it only takes like 10 minutes to charge fully you could have it charging while your showering and you would have full battery life once you are done washing your body
