Customer Reviews of Braun bodyCruzer Men's Body Groomer, TitaniumCustomer Review: Well Built Groomer But May Not Be For Every Man Summary: 3 Stars
Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
I have always been a huge fan of Braun products. The build quality and design always amazes me. I have owned several Braun rechargeable shavers over the years; not because they kept wearing out but because I like to experience the new technology Braun puts into their latest products. Now I'm not a very hairy man but I do require a beard and mustache trimmer, a nose/ear hair trimmer, and even a mini shaver for detailing. Much to my disappointment, Braun does not make any of these trimmer/shavers. So even though I am a serious Braun fan I always find myself having to purchase less quality products from other manufacturers. So when Braun introduced the new BodycruZer groomer, I was extremely intrigued. I wasn't too sure about the attached Gillette Fusion shaver, as it looked rather dangerous to have perched atop a trimmer. Well when I was offered the opportunity to test this new device I eagerly accepted.
The product is packaged well and comes with everything you could need. The box includes the Braun BodycruZer groomer with attached Gillette Fusion razor, a weighted base charger stand, 3 different attachment combs, cleaning brush, hanging holder for the BodycruZer, travel pouch, owner's guide, and warranty/registration paperwork. There is also a replacement Gillette Fusion razor head included in the package. A concerning fact about this packaging is that the multi-blade Fusion razor head does not come with a cover, so you want to be very careful removing the device from the packaging as one could easily cut themselves. The Braun BodycruZer feels very solid, well balance, and feels good in your hand. The Fusion razor sliding adjustment is well designed and easy to operate. Charging is performed via an inductive type method, through the base of the groomer handle itself, with no exposed contacts. This great design virtually eliminates the possibility of electric shock. Once charged for a few hours the BodycruZer comes to life with plenty of power to cut most body hair. It is NOT a beard trimmer, although it can certainly be used for light beard and mustache trimming. However, with that Fusion razor head looming above the power trimmer, it requires the user to practice extreme caution when using the trimmer anywhere on your face. It would be extremely easy to nick your ear or nose with the razor head.
This is a wet and dry body grooming trimmer/shaver, so you can use it with or without shaving cream, and can use it in the shower and/or rinse it clean with water. The attachment combs are convenient but are a little cumbersome to remove. It was very hard for me to feel confident doing anything with the end of the trimmer due to that multi-blade razor sitting there so close to the trimmer head. I really feel that the razor adds a definite level of danger, given the fact that the blades are always exposed.
The operator's manual states that "the BodycruZer is NOT intended for removing facial hair or scalp hair." The manual also states that the trimming combs should be used on dry hair only, and that shaving foam, cream or gel should not be used when trimming with the comb attachments. It also advises using the "sensitive" comb attachment when trimming on skin in sensitive areas, such as in the genital area. Seriously, the genital area? OK, I guess some guys might like keeping that area...um, well groomed. The manual advises using the trimming and shaving combination on large areas, like the chest and back. I did not test this because I do not have back hair and I have no desire to shave my chest. Braun also recommends applying a drop of machine oil onto the trimmer head, on a weekly basis, if the trimmer is cleaned under water. Oddly enough my BodycruZer did not come with any machine oil so I guess they figure I would enjoy running out and buying it myself before using their trimmer. Well they figured wrong.
Overall I find this device is geared toward extremely hairy men or men that want a smooth, hairless chest and/or genital area. I honestly assumed that the BodycruZer was meant for facial trimming and shaving, in addition to grooming other areas of the body. Since the device is not intended for the facial area, I just don't have much use for the product. I'm also a bit scared of the razor head, as there is no cover for the razor blades. Now I'm not saying that this device is not good. It seems very well built, as all Braun products usually are, and I'm sure some men will find it very handy for trimming and shaving hair in areas that I just don't have a need or desire. I do, however, feel that Braun should have paid far more attention to safety, regarding the extremely sharp Fusion razor head. The way it is designed it would be very easy for someone to cut themselves on the razor blades. A simple cover would prevent accidental cuts and could also provide protection to the delicate blades themselves. Then again I'm not an engineer so maybe they know something that I don't. But for me the Braun BodycruZer will likely remain in a bathroom drawer most of the time. I have removed the razor head, for the safety of myself and my family, but will keep the BodycruZer handy in case I suddenly sprout back hair or decide to shave all of my body hair so I can join the Olympic swim team. It's a quality Braun product that is clearly not designed or meant for every man.
