Manscaped trimmer guards1/16/2024 ![]() ![]() Why we chose it: If you’re a consistent trimmer of your undercarriage, the Manscaper 4.0 is one of the best tools out there to get the job done effectively. The intuitive features like LED spotlight to help you see where you are trimming and the new wireless charging dock are all welcome. And while it’s designed specifically for the tender groin area, many users have noted that it can still nick skin pretty easily if you’re not extra careful. You’re not going to do a bunch of contouring or style changes with this. The single adjustable length comb only has a couple of length capabilities so this trimmer isn’t optimized for a variety of body hair options - it’s really designed to shave down to the skin or leave just a little bit of stubble. This is not a bad thing, just good to know going into the purchase in case you are used to a pull style trimmer. What else to consider: This is a classic push style trimmer, which means you push it toward you (usually against the grain) to cut the hair. With multiple length combs and ceramic blades that are gentle on even your most sensitive areas, this is one of the most effective body groomers out there. This new, more advanced version is completely waterproof so you can use it in the shower (Cleanup? Done) and has a wireless dock that makes charging a breeze. Whether you want to mow the lawn completely or just give it a little trim, this trimmer does it all. It is handy for any sort of tapering or contouring body hair because it’s easy to handle. We don’t tend to use it to trim as the length combs only really offer shorter options and without a carrying case, the combs tend to get lost in the bottom of our bathroom drawers. We use it anywhere on our bodies that we want a clean, close shave like our shoulders, back and face (of course, using different blades). Long term testing notes: Truly, the Braun Series 7 is a game changer in terms of shaving. Keep in mind that it’s best suited for areas you want to shave or leave a slight stubble-it’s not going to give you a wide range of length options-but if your goal is an easy, quick, efficient shave anywhere on your body, this is the tool for you. Why we chose it: Here at Men’s Health, we are huge fans of the Braun Series 7 simply because it can’t be matched in its functionality, portability and versatility. Pro tip: keep them in different cases or label them so you don’t get the blades mixed up. Luckily, the one comes with a second blade to easily switch back and forth by just popping them off. You can still use it on your face of course, but you should use a different blade. There’s also a specific skin safe guard specifically designed for below the belt grooming to protect your more sensitive skin from the razor. Other than that, the functionality and design is the same. What else to consider: The only difference between this version of the Series 7 and the original meant to use on your face is that it comes with different guards that can leave hair longer and are designed specifically for the body where you might want to leave it slightly longer. It includes eight combs covering 40 precision lengths (!!!), a detail trimmer and ear & nose trimmer attachments. It can also be used in the shower if you prefer a wet shave. This kit comes with everything you need for head-to-toe grooming. Trimming, whether it's using hair clippers or electric razors, has its own set of headaches in the form of pulling hairs and not having enough protection between the blade and your skin. Anyone who has shaved even once knows that the risk of cutting and nicking skin is very real-especially when you get down to very sensitive or hard to reach areas. This isn’t to say that you’re required to manscape, but whether you already do or you’re about to give it a try for the first time, the most important thing in any manscaping journey is the tool you use. And, for the record, 62% of women said in that same survey that they prefer a man who does some form of hair control down below. In fact, our own 2019 survey found that 62% of men do some sort of manscaping (and this survey focused only on below the belt ‘scaping so it’s probably more if you consider the total body). You can trim! You can wax! You can let it grow…and grow…and grow! But the reality is that most men do something to their body hair. As in, you can do whatever you want with it. Right now, we are living in what I would argue is the golden age of body hair. ![]() Just look at the wild, hairy 1970’s or the Ken doll slick early aughts if you don’t believe me. LIKE EVERYTHING else, body grooming trends come and go. ![]()
