Philips Norelco Body Groomer 5000 Series, Intimate Hair Shaver & Trimmer for Men with Interchangeable & Adjustable Full Body Trim & Shave Heads, 100% Showerproof, BG5490/50

The Philips Norelco Body Groomer 5000 Series (BG5490/50) is a rechargeable men’s body groomer with interchangeable shaving and trimming heads, designed for full-body grooming—including intimate areas—with skin-comfort features and wet or dry use.

Recommended For

• Men who routinely groom the groin, underarms, or other sensitive body areas and want both a guarded trim and a close-shave head in one device.
• People who prefer to groom during a shower or rinse the device under running water afterward; this model is designed for wet or dry use.
• Users who switch between keeping body hair at different short lengths and shaving selected areas close, rather than relying on a single-purpose trimmer.
• People maintaining body hair regularly who want a cordless routine without charging after every use; Philips lists up to 100 minutes of runtime.

Real-World Use Scenarios

• For a shorter, even look on the chest, arms, or legs, attach a trimming comb and choose a length; the groomer is designed to leave hair trimmed rather than fully shaved.
• For grooming sensitive areas, use the intimate guard and begin at a longer setting; this lets you shorten hair gradually while keeping the trimming head guarded against the skin.
• When body hair is long and the goal is a closer shave, trim it first, then switch to the shaving head; Philips recommends this sequence for hair longer than 10 mm.
• For a closer finish on areas such as the torso, swap the trimming head for the shaving head; the foil system is designed for close body shaving, though results and skin comfort can vary.
• For a shower-time grooming routine, use the groomer wet or dry and rinse the head after use; Philips recommends clean, dry hair for the best result.
