Why the i7 takes first place

Because it solves the problem that others ignore: we can’t see what we’re shaving. On the back, shoulders or behind the groin, visibility is the first cutting factor, before blade quality. It is the only model in the ranking to integrate an LED projector. Added to this are an ergonomic short handle with AquaGrip technology, AutoSense technology which adapts the motor power to the density of the hair, three combs including a sensitive skin comb, a 100-minute battery and a shower support.

The i5, the best technology-price ratio

Same cutting system, same autonomy, around $35 ​​less. The only difference is the lighting. If you don’t take care of your back alone, this is the rational choice in the ranking: SkinFirst, AutoSense, AquaGrip, the same three clogs including the one intended for the groin, chest and armpits, and 100 minutes of autonomy.

The razor, for those who want clear skin

No trimmer looks like a blade, and no facial razor is suitable for the body. The facial hair is short, straight and of constant thickness; that of the body is longer, curlier and more variable, and a cartridge designed for the face becomes clogged. The BODY + INTIMATE razor combines an anti-irritation bar, an anti-ingrown hair bar whose wider spacing reduces pressure, and a long-lasting lubricating strip. The 2D FlexDisc follows the contours of the body. Combine with 2-in-1 shaving cream.

It is, according to the brand, the first body and intimate shaving regime approved by the Skin Health Alliance, and the handle is covered by a lifetime guarantee, subject to conditions.

The real price gap is not that of ranking

The gap narrows from the first year, because these devices do not consume the same amount. The OneBlade Intimate is the cheapest at $29.99, but it works with a consumable blade that Philips announces for around four months, the replacement of which is displayed at $17.99 or $24.59: three replacements per year at the announced rate. GilletteLabs BODY clippers are presented with long-life, German-engineered blades, with no replacement expected in everyday use. For the manual razor, count on $4.97 per blade.

Takeaway: compare the entry price and the cost of the consumable over one year.

The 5 criteria for choosing

1. The skin protection system. This is the number one criterion in sensitive areas. SkinFirst relies on closely spaced teeth, wide tips and low opening angles, a geometry that reduces skin bulging in the cutting area.

2. The sensitive skin clog. It acts like a cage: it protects the skin while guiding the hair towards the cut. On the groin, chest and armpits, it is he who avoids direct contact with the blade.

3. Waterproofing and wireless. Many men shave their bodies in the shower. A corded device cannot be used in water, and the waterproofing also simplifies cleaning, simply rinsing.

4. Visibility. Integrated lighting compensates for the lack of direct view of the back and behind the groin. The technical sheets rarely mention it, and yet it changes the result.

5. The cost of the consumable. See above: this is where the real difference over one year comes into play.

One criterion to set aside: body and hair versatility. This is not recommended, firstly for hygiene — each area of ​​the body has its own microbiota and cross-contamination increases the risk of infection — secondly because blades and hooves are designed for a specific use.

FAQs

What is the best men’s razor for sensitive areas? For clear skin, a manual razor designed for the body, equipped with an anti-irritation bar and an anti-ingrown hair bar. To maintain length without shaving, use a sensitive skin hoof trimmer. The two complement each other more than they oppose each other: we mow, then we shave.

Where to buy a waterproof and cordless intimate trimmer with adjustable combs?

The i7 was priced at $99.50 at Carrefour in a set of 7 accessories, the i5 at $64.90 at Notino.

Trimmer or razor for armpits and groin? The sensitive skin comb trimmer if you keep a length or if you are prone to ingrown hairs; the razor for clear skin. A trimmer cuts the hair just above the skin and lets it grow back freely, which limits ingrown hairs.

Do you need shaving cream with a trimmer? No. Shaving preparation is useful for wet blade shaving. For shearing, the skin and hair must be dry.

When to change the blades of a body razor? As soon as they pull on the hair, leave redness or forget hairs. Rinsing after each use and storing the razor upright extends its lifespan.
