Braun cruZer 6 Body 2-in-1 Groomer

Downstairs grooming is not something that I had granted prior consideration to the thought of ever attempting- but it would have seemed silly to turn down the opportunity to explore new horizons. I was initially a little tentative about the potential perils of excavating my crack with buzzing machinery but (with mind and buttocks alike becoming progressively more open) I was soon waving the thing around with a positively gay level of abandon. Although I had doubted whether there might be anything significant to differentiate between this and the side-burn trimmer of a regular shaver, the thin teeth really do allow for confidence. Indeed, after just a brief experiment with my shaver, opaque red liquid was to flow freely from a small breach to the scrotal hull. Returning to this device, not even the most haphazard of technique was able to bring about a secondary source of blood letting- although there's not a hope in hell that I'd be persuaded to use the Gillette blades down there! The clippers couple a more than close enough shave, with a good deal more peace of mind- compared to a giant cluster of razors.

Anyway, since grooming, things are feeling pretty good and the benefits continue to accumulate. Post-defecatory wiping is easier to perform and places considerably fewer demands upon the earth's resources, in order to finish the job. There's something quite liberating about the way paper glides across a smoothed surface (although, when in public, you'll need to be wary of how resolutely the act of breaking wind can project around a crowded lift, say- without the aid of nature's resonance-damping muffler). It's also far easier to dry oneself after a shower, once those last few stubborn pockets of moisture have been robbed of their usual foothold. My bottle of talcum powder has since become little more than an obsolete relic of times gone by. However, I could not personally recommend giving yourself the full works, down below. Personally, I made a point of retaining an adequate old tuft, like a kind of pubic fringe. After all, where else are you supposed to produce/store a thick soapy foam, that can be transferred about the rest of the body during a shower? Perhaps the current popularity of the fully shaven look explains why one sees so many of those puffy washing thingies (that they attach to bits of string), these days. However, I'd sooner be at the helm of a traditional pubically generated lather, any day of the week.

EDIT- I've been wondering about the issue of skid-marks. Being hairless means that you don't have to worry about inadvertently smearing dirty leftovers into your anal beard (which can be a particular problem if you're in the habit of failing to answer a call of nature, before having already allowed the "turtle's head" to poke through). As most chaps will know, on a sweaty summer's day this can turn the stragglers into a dangerous time-release mechanism, that slowly but surely offloads its contents into the fabric of your underwear. However, assuming that you are able to ensure cleanliness of your hairs after passing a stool- maybe it could equally serve as a impenetrable barrier between potential anal seepages and pants? The results have been inconclusive so far, but I've just ordered a job-lot of white Y-fronts for the sake of further research.

So I thought this would be a beard clipper. But this is a product that is clearly aimed at the seriously, seriously groomed. Naked, baby-smooth man on the box gives you some idea of what you are in for, along with the name "cruzer". OK, so having said that the product is good and really works as intended on shaving the bits that normally men don't shave. It is light and easy to use and doesn't ever nick. The combination head is a little terrifying allowing you to clip or deploy the 5-blade razor at the same time. It even works simply on things like hairy neck really effectively. The battery lasts a long time and it really it waterproof. I can't fault it even if I haven't deployed it everywhere.. :)

It does even work as a beard trimmer!

having bought this at a good price I wondered would it do the job it was advertised to do, it did and I was very pleased with the results as I have particularly strong body hair and it was no problem to use

If you want to trim any hair south of the neck line then the cruZer 2-in-1 makes the job a little easier. It replaces the need for a manual razor and a separate shaver and combines the two in one unit. Of course if we only use one method exclusively, then this product isn't for you.

The shaver is light weight and the dual function is only really of use should you need to remove all the hair in less time. Regular users are likely to use the dual function just the once, with follow-up grooming using just the razor (which uses Gillette Fusion)

I was originally stumped in how to clip it together and had to read the instructions. I may have been having a 'moment' but I really didn't get it.

The shaving is good not great. Time needs to be invested to get a really good and even shave. If due diligence isn't given then the result is far from perfect. Given time though the result is a worthy one and it does make is fairly easy to get to around the genital area.

Some of the male of the species are "blessed" with the ability to grow hair at an alarming rate on about every part of the anatomy except the head (once they reach a certain age). I'm one of those males and to be honest hadn't really noticed just how unkempt my body hair had become. Well with this whizzo little trimmer (and some help from my long suffering wife) I now have a much neater set of body hair.

The trimmer is easy to use - being rechargeable means that there are no cords to get in the way. It comes with three separate "combs" which allow the user to trim hair to a certain length . These are a good idea because using the trimmer on its own without these attachments will give a very close shave indeed.

The trimmer also has, rather strangely I thought, a second device which is simply standard wet shaver fitted with a four blade cartridge from Gillette. This works well enough and does avoid the need for the use of a separate razor. It is niftily fitted as an integral part of the groomer. This additional option will probably suit best those who wanted to remove all their body hair by getting even closer that the trimmer can.

It fits neatly in the hand. It is lightweight and can be used in the shower.

There's nothing negative to say about this product. I like it.

I purchased this product to replace a Phillips model which had given up the ghost, choosing Braun based on my positive experience of their electric razor range. First things first this product seems to be designed and built to the usual Braun standard, and while this has slipped a little over the last few years it is still reasonable to good.

Having read about as much of the instruction booklet as any man is ever going to I set about some personal topiary, making full use of the grading comb marked 'sensitive' as seemed appropriate and on the first pass I was down to what can only be described as designer stubble which was a couple or three mil shorter than expected and here lies my issue; I was expecting to be able to adjust the length to which the product trims and while there are two other combs available one marked medium and the other long neither are suitable for 'sensitive' areas.

I would also advise that the terms 'medium' and 'long' are subjective and could easily be described as 'very short' and 'quite short'.

In summary if you want a reasonably well built trimmer to take the hair in your personal areas down to the bare roots, this is the one for you, if you want to leave a little grass on the wicket then you may be a little disappointed.

Absolutely love this, It give such a nice clean shave, bought this as a replacement, the one i had was getting old.
Definitely would recommend it.

i do recommend it for its very gentle shaving. using this cruzer for shaving of all my body including face.

It's okey for a man to do a little manscaping in the 21st century. I'm a man with youthful looks with the hair growth of a person from Southern Europe. I've previously used Philips Bodygroom Pro for my back and other areas (I probably use these trimmers on more areas than others). While I do like the Bodygroom Pro, it's not good for certain areas. It shines when trimming beards or neck hair. However, I find it does not work well when trimming back hair or hair in areas where extra precision is required. One day I saw the CruZer 6 Body here in Amazon and, at first, thought it was a gimmick (combining a trimmer with a Gillette Fusion blade) and kind of cheap looking. However, Amazon had an amazing deal on it so I ordered it. First of all, the CruZer is very ergonomic (it's thinner than Bodygroom Pro and thus has better maneuverability). I love the shower hanger case (the Bodygroom Pro stand is a bit clumsy and bulky). The performance is much better on body hair in general than with the Bodygroom Pro. I use the '2' setting (trimmer+blade) the most as it trims longer hair off nicely and finished the shorter ones with the blade. The '3' setting (blade only) is handy for areas requiring maneuverability and precision. Moreover, I find that when the blade is extended (setting '3') you get a better reach than with a regular Gillette Fusion shaver. I rarely use the '1' setting as the Bodygroom Pro is a better regular trimmer. You also get attachments with the CruZer 6; long, medium and intimate. These attachments work much better on long body hair than the Bodygroom Pro attachment.

I would recommend the CruZer 6 to anyone who wants (or should I say dares) to do a bit of manscaping. I wouldn't call if a Jack-of-all-trades as it bests the Bodygroom Pro only from shoulders down. You shouldn't be worried about the Fusion blade as it's quite safe to use (even on intimate areas) just as long as you keep your skin even and not wrinkled (although some of us cannot help the wrinkles).

What a treat compared to the other products on the market.
Sure, I don't use all it's functions, and mainly stick to the trimmer (I just remove the shaver head for safety).

Neat n tidy. Just how it should be. Boom. Done. Quick n easy, no tug, effortless, all that jazz. Good times.
