Beard Trimmer - grooming, mangrooming
So don't quiet understand the harsh reviews for this. I own this one the mangroomer and the one by norelco and if I had to choose only one this would be it. It does not seem cheap at all( remember it's only $40). It's by far the most versatile body groomer, and I think it cuts great. On a scale of one to ten on how hairy I am I'm close to a 9. All my hair is fairly thick and long and this had no problem cut through it with the vertical attachment. Then the other clipper head gets it down real close to the skin. You could proabally just stop there but if you wanted a real smooth shave the foil head does ok. It could use some improvement but if you use the fine shaver you would almost have to use a blade to get much closer. The only problem I have with this is the handle could be longer. It is a little hard to reach the center of your back with, but after a little practice this can be done. As I said though, If you only had one body groomer you could buy, this should be it. Remington BHT600 Body and Back Groomer
When I first was considering buying this item, I came here on Amazon to see the reviews. As you can see, there are negative reviews about it. So I wasn't going to buy it, but I was strolling in Target and had an impulse shopping moment. So I purchased the item and knew if I didn't like it I could just take it back. Well, I kept the item. The shaver works completely great. It is also waterproof on the detachable parts so it's easy to clean. It cuts my hairs completely fine. The foil shaver worked perfectly on my face. Maybe the other reviewers have titanium hairs growing out, but mine are normal and can be cut just fine. The extension of the shaver is such a useful feature since it can be hard to get the hairs on the back of my legs. Overall, an excellent product by Remington.
In about 5 minutes I was able to shave my armpit hair and hair below the waist with no problems. I used 2 of the attachments with NO pinching. It works well either wet or dry. I think the best parts of this product is how cheap it is, the different attachments, and the fact that you can use it in the shower. The extender only adds about 3.5inches which I could understand isn't the best if you aren't flexible enough to reach your back. If you have that problem, get your partner or specialist to wax your back...
I only intend to use this product to fix my sideburns, cut my pubes, and my arm pit hair...and I expect it to do the job well for a long time.
Also includes a mesh bag for carrying product, which wasn't mentioned
While not perfect the Remington BHT600 does a pretty good job.
I travel a great deal and I've tried various different shaving products trying to get that single product so I can clip, trim, shave and clean up my chest/back/under arms without resorting to lugging around different devices for different areas. Either I carried a normal electric razor and strained my back and arms getting to some difficult spots, or I'm forced to carry along multiple devices, some that don't work right (or seem ready to fall apart in my hands every time I used them) or are only good for one thing.
With the Remington BHT600 I found something I truly liked; in fact the normal Detail Trimmer Attachment trimmed my facial hair so well my first thought was "if the Foil Shaver works as well, I don't even need my normal electric razor."
Unfortunately this wasn't the case, while I found that all of the attachments worked well and meet or exceeded expectations - the Foil Shaver was the one weak link the entire setup. The process should have been simple; trim then shave - however the shaver required repeated passes, didn't cut at all or the shave wasn't nearly as close as you'd have expected. I thought the Extendable Handle worked well, allowing me to trim without strain, and the Vertical Trimmer (plus both Trimmer attachments) also worked great.
Maybe my expectations were lower than other reviewers, or I received a better unit - regardless, in comparison to other razors/shavers/trimmers I've used and/or owned...I'd have given the Remington BHT600 a 5-of-5 rating if the foil shaver had cut closer. So while this hasn't eliminated the need to carry multiple devices - I'm happy to remove a couple of items from my go-bag and replace them with the Remington. - Back Hair - Manscaping - Mangrooming - Grooming'
