Do you want a three-day beard on your face, a smooth chest, and a trimmed pubic area? And do you have: a razor? It can’t work like that. The best body trimmers tested
With foam or gel, electric or wet, when it comes to the beard, almost every man has his favorite “tool.”. The crucial question is: Can you also use the same tool for the chest and intimate area?
Most men will probably think, “Why not? Hair is hair,” and they use their razors on their bodies too. We’ll explain to you here why you shouldn’t do this. And we’ll show you which tools are better for body shaving.
Why should men use a body razor?
Chest and back hair have different requirements than beard hair. The area to be shaved is larger, and the ergonomics are different.
A back razor offers these advantages:
- More hygiene: Even if you shave in the shower, bacteria from the armpit or intimate area can remain on the razor. A second razor protects against this.
- Less wear: The blades of your (wet) razor will not wear out as quickly if you use a different model for larger areas of the body.
- Better result: Body razors are specially designed for the needs of body shaving. They have a larger contact surface, are equipped with more sliding elements, or have different attachments for the intimate area and breast.
Which tools help against body hair?
There are several ways to get rid of fur. Before buying a device, you have to ask yourself two questions: Do you want your body to be clean-shaven or just trim your hair? And how permanent should the hair removal be? You can then choose:
- Body Hair Trimmer: Electric trimmers, also known as body groomers, can often both shave and trim—great if you like your chest smooth but not your crotch. Mostly waterproof, they are designed for trimming in the shower.
- Back razor: How do you get rid of annoying back hair without help? With an extended arm for your razor or a special back razor. Here you can find the best razors in the Men’s Health test.
- IPL: Do you want it to be permanently smooth? IPL technology is now also available for home use. Small flashes of light attack the hair roots, causing the hair to fall out.
But which razor is the best? These hair removers convinced us:
The best-wet razors
Wilkinson – HYDRO 5 Skin Protection
The best and most thorough shave is still wet shaving. You must always make sure that the razor blades are not dull and glide easily over the skin. The Wilkinson Hydro 5 shaving heads are equipped with 5 blades (+ Skin Guard) and a gel pool (contains Pro Vitamin B5) and in combination ensure the closest shave and skin irritations are prevented. The Hydro-5 blades are also equipped with a flip trimmer that exposes a precision blade and makes difficult areas (e.g. sideburns, beard contour, and nose area) child’s play.
That’s what’s special: flip trimmer with precision blade
Equipment: razor handle, 13 replacement blades
Gillette – Intimate
Shaving the intimate area requires a lot of attention and sensitivity to avoid injuries. The choice of razor blades is particularly important: our favorite is the wet razor from Gillette Intimate. SimplePass technology with 5 sharp anti-irritation blades ensures a gentle and comfortable shave in the sensitive intimate area. Practical: Thanks to the included shower holder, you always have the wet razor within easy reach.
That’s what’s special: FSimplePass technology with anti-irritation blades
Equipment: razor handle, shower holder, 2 spare blades
