Philips Norelco

Before getting into the finer details, the first thing to note about the Philips Norelco Bodygroom Series 7100 is that it is a body razor. That means, it is exclusively for below your head and neck area.

To allow for that, it comes with a foil and cutters combo on the shaving head, as well as a built-in trimmer and an adjustable comb at the other end.

It is also fully waterproof (an important factor that will come up multiple times in the following paragraphs) and is made with specific aspects so that everyone can take full advantage of its capabilities.

In that way, the Philips Norelco Bodygroom Series 7100 is not just another razor. It is a specially crafted device meant for any body shape or size. That is reflected in its overall design and is at the razor’s core.

For instance, it has a slick, almost professional appearance on top of the numerous impressive features. While this is far from the most important aspect when judging a device, it never hurts to purchase a sleek-looking item.

This razor comes with a silver, metal-looking plastic that truly pops as well as solid rubber grip inserts on the side.

Going beyond the aesthetics, another bonus of this razor is its ergonomic design. It is not just pleasing to the eye, it is easy to use and handle as well.

On top of the sleek design, the Philips Norelco Bodygroom Series 7100 is a razor known for its quality.

This is always one of the first things you need to look at when choosing a body razor because it is very easy to buy something that will break with constant use.

Razors are one of the most used bathroom items. For that reason, it is best to go with something you know will be able to stand the test of time.

The Philips Norelco Bodygroom Series 7100 is a well-crafted device that is both heavy in the hand and incredibly satisfying to use.

Not only that, but the quality is continued through the razor’s integrated trimmer and adjustable comb.

Both of those make it so that you don’t have to use any of the brittle clip-on combs that often break or come off during use.

There are also small rubber feet on the razor to give it extra grip when it is placed on a slippery or wet surface. That combines with the waterproof material to allow you to shave in the shower with no worries.

Dropping razors while bathing is not something that comes up a lot, but it does happen from time to time. Removing that inconvenience is just one of the many ways Philips works for you.

As the Philips Norelco Bodygroom Series 7100 is a completely versatile shaver that can be used wet (both with shaving cream and in the shower), it is completely cordless.

That can put some people off, but you should not worry. Philip has taken the time to ensure that the battery on the device gives you everything you could ever want in a body razor.

The lithium-ion battery gives you 50 minutes of use, which is more than enough time to trim as you need. That’s plenty for a quick full body trim or a long shower.

As an added bonus, the razor also only takes an hour to fully charge. This feature is particularly important because if you’re ever in a rush or need to trim quickly, you can just put it on the charging stand and be ready in no time at all.

An hour charging time is also handy because it means you can just charge it for ten or twenty minutes in a pinch.

Should you ever run out of battery (which will undoubtedly happen from time to time) you will immediately know because of the easy-to-see charging light.

If it glows orange, it means you only have roughly ten minutes of shaving left. If it is fully charged, you will know because the LED light will light up green (as opposed to blinking green when charging).

Though it cannot operate while charging due to its need to be on a stand, the charger, as with the razor, is a well-made piece of technology. It is a solid device complete with rubber feet for a firm grip and unique spring-loaded charging plates.

Of course, when using a body razor, it is important to keep it clean. This is another bonus of the Philips Norelco Bodygroom Series 7100 because the maintenance on it could not be easier.

Nobody wants to use a razor that is a nightmare to upkeep. Even if your device works well, it can be a big problem if you have to take extra time out of your schedule to carefully go over it time and time again.

Here, you don’t have any of those problems. In fact, the Philips Norelco Bodygroom Series 7100 is one of the easiest to clean razors (face or body) out there.

A lot of that ease comes from the waterproof exterior because it enables you to fully run the device underwater without damaging it.

To clean it, you just remove the shaving head and then rinse it under running tap water. That will get rid of the hair and make everything ready for the next time you need to use.

To continue with cleaning, Philips has equipped their razor with a special cleaning brush. While you would not use this instead of doing a full clean, it helps to complement the rinse method by enabling you to fully clean the hair chamber before putting it under water.

It is also worth mentioning that there are a few extra steps you can take to clean the trimming unit at the other end of the razor.

First, detach the comb. Next, push the center of the trimming unit until it pops open. From there, remove any debris from the hair chamber with the brush and, as with the other side, run it under tap water.

Those simple steps give yet another example of how easy this razor is to use and show why it is such a great choice for both experienced and new users alike.

Just be sure not use a towel or cloth to dry the foil assembly. Though that may be your first inclination, those materials can damage it. It is much better to set it somewhere safe and let it air dry.

Now that we’ve gone over the different cleaning and maintenance aspects of the Philips Norelco Bodygroom Series 7100, there is still one big question to answer: how well does it work?

This model is a fantastic body razor tucked inside a sleek and ergonomic package that aims to perfectly trim or shave any part of your body with ease.

To do that, the device does not use a traditionally fixed head (which can lead to some discomfort or tricky situations). Rather, it has a pivoting one that is specially designed to move with any natural curves.

That makes the entire shaving process feel both smooth and seamless, no matter where you’re using it.

The head is the centerpiece of this device and comes with a set of its own important characteristics.

Its unique mobility cuts back on annoying tugs or razor burn (especially when paired with the rounded cutters that reduce pinches), but that is not the only reason the Philips Norelco Bodygroom Series 7100 offers such a smooth shave.

The head is also made with special hypo-allergenic materials that actively reduce all different irritations, including both general skin pulling and allergic reactions.

The blades are also self-sharpening and require no general maintenance or lubrication to work. Not only does that give another example of how easy the device’s maintenance is, but it gives you more time.

All of those come together to ensure all of your hair is cut down or gone with just one or two passes.

Adding to the list of impressive accessories is the Philips Norelco Bodygroom Series 7100’s excellent trimmer. This is an important feature for any body groomer, but it particularly shines here.

This trimmer has a fully adjustable trimming comb that provides you with a range of different options.

There are five different settings for hair length after trimming, ranging from 3 mm to 11 mm. That adds to the razor’s versatility and always provides the exact shave you want.

If you so wish, the company even gives you the option to completely remove the comb from the razor. This is a small feature, but it is another example of what Philips does right.

It is important to mention that the design is also built to tackle any shaving job. You can go for bigger shaves, small trims, or simple clean ups.

That extra versatility is important because it means this razor can be used for all of your needs. Reducing the need for other products goes a long way towards saving you money in the long run.

Of course, no matter how slick, sleek, or ingenious a body razor is, it is not complete without its different accessories.

As noted above, there are more than a few incredible add-ons for this device. However, no matter how well parts are made, they will give into entropy and break down over time.

To make up for that, Philips Norelco offers replacement parts for the Philips Norelco Bodygroom Series 7100.

You can get a new foil head (which means you can keep getting the incredibly quality you’re used to) and you can grab a new brush as well.

It can be easy to not trust such replacement parts, but all of the ones offered by the company have the exact same high-make and stunning features seen in the main device.

While you will not have to replace the parts that often, Philips Norelco suggests the head should be changed out roughly once a year. Of course, that timeframe largely depends on how much and how often you use the device.

Even if you do need to replace it a bit sooner, the extra parts are easily affordable and can be found in different places across the internet.
