9 Best Body Groomers for Men 2024

After testing over 50 body groomers for our Grooming Awards, we found that Panasonic’s GK800 is still the best in class. There’s a lot to love about this groomer. The unique V-shaped blade and ergonomic design allow you to trim even the hardest to reach crevices with ease and the innovative length guard oscillates between 12 different lengths with the turn of a dial, so you never have to even take it off while switching lengths. It delivers one of the most customizable and easy experiences you could hope for in a body trimmer.

What else to consider: The innovative design of this groomer is what sets it apart, but it still takes a bit of a learning curve to figure out the best way to use it on your body. It doesn’t follow the traditional push vs. pull methods that most trimmers do. Because of the V-shaped blade, it’s able to cut in both directions which does make it easier, but if you’re switching from using a more traditional groomer, it can feel weird at first. The adjustable trimmer head is bulky but effective but, again, may take some practice getting used to. It’s convenient to not have to completely switch combs in the middle of a trimming session but can also make the trimmer feel a little top heavy and some might find it reduces the effectiveness of the blades. The rinse-to-clean capability is great, but we’d advise using it dry instead of wet (that goes for pretty much all trimmer, to be honest). It’s recommended to change the blade about once a year (depending on frequency of use) but replacement blades can be hard to find.

Long term testing notes: We’ve been using this for months (maybe even years at this point) and the effectiveness of the Body Groomer GK80 has not waned. What we have noticed, however, is that we favor it more for shaving than trimming. Not that it does a bad job, it’s just that the shaving capability is better than the other trimmers in our arsenal (save for perhaps the Philips OneBlade) while the trimming capabilities with the adjustable comb are comparable to some others. Still, it remains our go-to trimmer because of how comfortable it is to hold and how nimble it is at cutting hair on hard to reach places thanks to the wand design.

Why we chose it: It: For sheer ease of use, the Panasonic Body Groomer GK80 truly can’t be beat. The innovative design, multi-directional cutting capability, adjustable dial length comb and v-shaped head all combine to make this easily the most intuitive and efficient body groomer available. Sure, it’s not perfect – it’s slightly better at shaving than trimming, for instance – but it’s pros exceed its cons by a landslide. We found in our testing that using it dry is more effective, but it’s just as comfortable shaving your more sensitive groin areas as it is the chest, arms and shoulders. And while it is on the expensive side, if you groom or trim your body hair regularly, it’s a solid investment.
