The 10 Best Body Groomers for Men (2024)

How We Evaluated These Body Groomers

By looking at the above considerations, we wanted the best for each type of task or for each type of buyer. Some guys want a device that does it all fairly well, whereas others want a dedicated device for each task—the single best in class, instead of the best all around. And some might benefit from a razor instead of a trimmer altogether. So, with ergonomics, efficiency, and effectiveness in mind, these are the best trimmers (and shavers, in some instances) in each lane. Where applicable and available, I listed the manufacturer’s information on battery charge time and duration, trimming lengths, blade width, and so forth. (Hence some disparity between metric and imperial measurements.) And although I didn’t use cost as a filter, my recommendations fall across a range of price points and all deliver on quality, in terms of construction and longevity, too.

Key Specs

• Guard Lengths: 3 and 6 mm
• Battery Life: 40 min
• Charging Time: 8 hr

Although its (currently unavailable) big brother is a worthy upgrade for its one-hour charge time, especially, this Panasonic body groomer covers all the bases at half the price of the latest model. Its best feature is the vertical teeth that allow for easy behind-the-back and over-the-shoulders trimming, along with armpit and groin cleanups at any and all angles. A little ergo friendliness goes a long way with this one, and it can give you a very close shave with a 0.1 mm finish using just the bare guard.

Key Specs

• Guard Lengths: 1/16–½ in.
• Battery Life: N/A
• Charging Time: N/A

One end trims, the other shaves; this double-ended, waterproof device can give you the custom trimming you prefer, including a nick-free shave in your most precious parts. For scalp and beard maintenance, choose from eight lengths (in 1/16-inch increments) for trimming. Meanwhile, the foil shaving head delivers a smooth finish. Although Mangroomer doesn’t specify battery specs, I’ve never encountered an issue with battery life or charging time of its products.

Key Specs

• Guard Lengths: 3-6 mm and 9-12 mm
• Battery Life: 1 hr 30 min
• Charging Time: 1 hr

An all-over manscaping trimmer, the Meridian mows through the unruliest of nests for a more hygienic and aesthetically pleasing amount of fur. The USB-rechargeable device masterfully trims the balls and shaft, too (pull the skin taut, fellas), thanks to teeth that won’t nip on saggy skin like any standard-fare trimmers.

Key Specs

• Guard Widths: 1.8 and 2.7 in.
• Battery Life: N/A
• Charging Time: N/A

Three trimming/shaving heads and an extending handle—from 10.5 inches to 2 feet—give this generation of Mangroomer all the adjustability you need to remove back hair. Start with a trim followed by a foil shave for the smoothest, no-look, electric self-shave ever.

Key Specs

• Guard Lengths: Up to 7 mm with Body Groom Attachment
• Battery Life: 1 hr 10 min
• Charging Time: 5 hr

Remington’s kit has swappable heads for respective tasks, like body grooming, nose hair trimming, foil shaving, and beard trimming alike. And it comes at a terrific low investment, making it a good entry-level pick for rookies.

Key Specs

• Guard Lengths: 0.5–10 mm with adjustable guards
• Battery Life: 1 hr 20 min
• Charging Time: 1 hr

I’m not an advocate of using a beard trimmer on the rest of your body, mostly for ergonomic reasons. But if you’re going to get a beard trimmer and use it on periodic chest, shoulder, and back trimmings (the latter with the help of a friend), then I suggest this vacuum one from Philips Norelco. It’ll catch the large majority of those little clippings (up to 90 percent of them), saving you big time on cleanup. However, it won’t be able to suction them if they’re long and overgrown—just a month’s worth of stubble, at most. Any longer and you really ought to get a dedicated body groomer.

Key Specs

• Blade Lengths: Short and long
• Power Source: 1 AAA battery (not included)

Many guys will get this grooming pen for their mustaches or eyebrows, but they work just as well on the neckline, around the nipples, under the pits, and around the groin. Dual blades allow for larger or detail-oriented trimmings.

Key Specs

• Blades: Two large “dry glide” blades
• Blade Width: 5.2 in.
• Power Source: None

Some of us simply want to mow through an entire winter’s worth of chest fuzz. This is a fast way to go from bear to bare—but it will require that you follow with an aftershave of some sorts, because the razor is shaving the hair beneath the surface of the skin. The additional precision blade allows for cleanup around nipples and armpits.

Key Specs

• Guard Lengths: 1/8, 3/16, and 9/32 in.
• Battery Life: 1 hr
• Charging Time: 1 hr

With three guards, this handheld rotary shaver converts into a trimmer and can morph into a flexible back-hair tamer when you tuck it into the included attachment. It’s the easiest wet-shave option of the picks, if you prefer to mow over your body stubble in the shower.

Key Specs

• Guard Lengths: 2–12 mm
• Battery Life: 40 min
• Charging Time: 4 hr

Ergonomics times two: This waterproof palm-held trimmer converts perfectly to a back-hair mower with the attachable handle. Choose from five guards, or skip the attachments for a 0.2-millimeter close shave.
