The Norelco BG2020 Body Groomer is the first Body Trimmer that I have every used. I tried it out in the shower for my first test because it is a wet/dry shaver. That should cut down the shaving time but I soon realized my mistake. What I should have done was use the included guide combs to trim down the longer hair before it got wet. I think the process would have been much smoother had I done that. That is not to say that once I got going with the body groomer in the shower that I didn’t get great results, I did. I noticed right away how very smooth this groomer made my skin.
It was lucky for me that I was testing and reviewing this product because I had a small surgical procedure on my foot and had to shower with my foot in a bag. There is something so painful about tape ripping out leg hair. So, instead of suffering that I shaved part of my leg so that I could get a water-tight seal around the bag and also avoid having my leg hairs pulled out.
I’ve highlighted many of the features of the BG2020 in my recent Whrrl about my purchase of the shaver.
Important Specs:
Price: $36.84
Battery: 8 hour charge time for up to 50 minutes of cordless trimming.
Accessories: 3 Guide Combs, Charging Stand, Cleaning Brush
Replacement Head: You can replace the body groom head
Shaving System: Maintenance Free blades, trimmer and foil.
Contour-following: 3 attachable Guide Combs
Final Impression: The Norelco Bodygroom 2020 is an excellent choice if you want to remove unwanted body hair. It has a sleek design that makes it very easy to hold and use. The combination of trimmer and foil shaver head makes this an excellent choice to go smooth. I’m not thrilled 50 minutes of running time comes after 8 hours of charging. Being able to use the shaver in and out of the shower is a great feature. The main reason is that hairs go everywhere and when they are in the shower there is less cleanup.
I received reimbursement for the purchase of this Norelco Body Groomer. The opinions are 100% mine.
