If the hair is longer and you pull the trimmer very quickly, it will snag some hairs or even nick the skin.

If you don’t want to trim the hair at skin level, the Norelco Bodygroom Series 5000 comes with 3 different size guards.This intuitive Bodygroom is designed to be gentle to ensure that manscaping won't go wrong even on your most delicate body areas.

This is really important for the overall trimming experience when using a guard to get the desired hair length. The case is inconveniently small also; it should have been more large to accommodate the AC adapter and foil heads. It has a hinge in the middle allowing you to fold it for storage and it’s even fitted with a locking button that allows you to extend it only partially (for trimming your upper traps or shoulder blade for example). As I said earlier in the review, the only negatives would be the lack of a bigger guard and the fixed foil head.

The trimmer end of the Norelco Bodygroom 7000 has an integrated comb with 5 predefined length settings, ranging from 3 to 11 mm. The Series 5000 also costs significantly less than the Series 7000, which is probably its greatest pro over it.

The 5 trimmer settings now depict the actual hair length corresponding to each one instead of a meaningless numbered list.The Dutch company has been cobbling innovative personal care appliances like shavers since the 1930s, so it’s hardly surprising it’s at the top of its game almost 100 years later. I’ve mentioned quite a few times throughout this review the predecessor of the BG7030, namely the BG2040. So the shaving head of the Norelco Bodygroom 7000 is very versatile and you can use it how you see fit. The Bodygroom 5000 is an affordable, highly capable and versatile groomer that will have you covered no matter your preferences for manscaping. With the Bodygroom 5000, I strongly recommend using slower and shorter strokes especially if the hair is longer (anything more than 5mm).

I can easily finish a shaving/trimming session covering the entire body and still have around 30% battery left. I mainly liked the fact that it’s very lightweight compared to my previous clipper, so extremely easy to use.The Bodygroom 5000 features the same foil shaving head, but it’s fixed, so not quite as easy to use depending on the area you’re trimming. waterproof and is the ultimate skin-friendly body trimmer; hypo-allergenic shaver and pearl tips prevent skin irritation for a smooth shave every time. For the past 10 years, I’ve owned various Bodygroom models and the design, features and even the performance have actually improved over time. It’s very disappointing that the bodygroomer is loud, although the multigroomer shouldn’t be used in the shower which ruins it for me. So they don’t have rounded tips like the ones on the shaver end of the BG7030, so they will cut the skin if you use them without the comb, which you totally shouldn’t.
