Electric Body 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.

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.

This overall is a great groomer to get your body hair down to "nicely groomed" status. This groomer/trimmer does not bring you down to hairless or completely-clean-shaven status. If you want hairless, this is not the groomer for you. It does a good job overall at grooming and zero chance of nicking or causing cuts, because it is not an ultra-close shave. While it works great in the shower, I found that the water tends to leave wet hair stuck to the skin where this shaver does not quite reach - I had better results outside of the shower. The wedge is great for reaching into cracks and crevices, where other groomers won't reach - and there is no chance of cuts in those areas, which is comforting. Overall this a quality built device for keeping body hair "nicely groomed".

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!

I am a professional body grooming, I use this machine for 2 - 3 clients per day, I obviously have 3 machines, the battery last 90 minutes, this is an amazing machine, my clients love it. This is the replacement for the blades, I usually change them around 3 months.

This works exactly as described. No hair pulling, trims to different lengths with absolutely no nicks. Some mention that its too large. I didn't find this to be an issue and have small hands. The charging is via a stand that plugs into the wall and then the groomer plugs into the stand. As a result when you are charging the unit it is standing up against the wall. This takes up space but since it doesn't need to be constantly charged it was not an issue for me. There are three heads or guards, four if you count just the blade and they are each cut hair to different hair lengths. Together these guards are a little bulky for storage but I find myself only using one head plus the blade without a head. The large guards are plastic and while they are well made would break under pressure. Even without a guard on the blade, it seems impossible to nick any part of your body. This is well made and well worth the price. Recommended.

This product has the potential to be a great tool. However, it is very disappointing the fact that the charging time is 20 hours. Yes, you read that right, twenty hours. The charger is bulky and delivers 1.2 V@50mA. This is unacceptable from Panasonic and such a modern device. I charged for the stated 20 hours and went to test it. I started trimming my beard and works flawlessly if you look for precision. Then went on armpits (careful on this area without the attachment), chest, abdomen, genital area (also careful without the supplied attachment, although the instruction manual recommends using the comb piece for genital, armpits, and butt area). Kept going to the left leg and completing the first leg I started to notice less power. However I was able to continue to the right leg and the operation with less and less power was noticeable until drained out without being able to finish second leg. Then 20 hours more for a full charge? No way Jose. I want it lithium powered with fast charging capability. Panasonic, are not you able to do that? And hey, this is no cheap device. Remington seems cheaper to me, and they have similar devices with way better battery/charger options.

Honest review time... I bought this for “the boys”. I spent a week researching every brand, meant for below the waist grooming. I have tried many different types and many different trimmers, and honestly I found “the one”... I got tired of using razors and getting cuts, or having razor heads get clogged up. I have tried other trimmers that cut the boys. I have tried numerous other options. I got tired of razor burn down in the nether regions. I got tired of itchiness as the hair begins to grow back. This trimmer is my favorite purchase of 2019. It doesn’t cut, especially if you use as directed with the silver guard. If you’re careful and use it in less sensitive areas down below, you don’t even need the guard and it still doesn’t cut. I was brave and even tried it without the guard on the boys (which is not recommended by Phillips), just to see if it would cut, and with a sense of caution and wise use of techniques such a “the bat wing”, I didn’t have any troubles or cuts. It can cut through hair easily and doesn’t pull either. Obviously go slow cus if you try to rush, it can certainly pull. When trimming the boys, why would anyone want to rush a sensitive job anyways?? I follow the same routine as I do if I used a razor. After trimming, I shower, after shower I use an after shave lotion from Dove for men. That’s it. No more razor burn, no more itchiness, no more cuts, no more pain, 3x faster than a razor, better performance and mobility than a razor, 10x better job than a razor, and no more hassle. This trimmed is supposed to last 3 years, but I will always buy it again and again and again when it does die.

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!

Esta increíble ... súper recomendable sobre todo para partes del cuerpo donde la forma de la máquina te facilita mucho el trabajo

Get it Asap

Purchased based on other reviews and I am fully satisfied. Easy to use, safe, and battery life good between recharges. Only concern is charging out of country where 110 is not available (only 220). This is a problem.
