May 2025 Grooming Recap – Real Reviews from ShavingAdvisor.com
|
Hi Reader, Here’s a quick roundup of the grooming tools I reviewed this May on ShavingAdvisor.com. If you’re thinking about upgrading or trying something new, these summaries might help you decide what’s worth it and what’s not. Quick Links:
Philips Norelco Bodygroom 1100 Review This is a compact, budget-friendly trimmer that’s better than I expected. It’s great for travel and most grooming jobs. You’ll need a few extra passes if your hair is thick, but it is ideal for very tight areas (including the balls). For the price, it does a decent job. 👉 Read the Full Bodygroom 1100 Review Braun Series 5 vs Philips Series 5000 ComparisonI compared these two mid-range shavers head-to-head. Braun’s foil system is more efficient for straight-line shaving, while Philips’ rotary design felt smoother on sensitive areas. I leaned slightly toward Philips for overall comfort, but both are good depending on your preference. 👉 Read the Full Braun S5 and Philips S5000 Comparison Philips 5000X vs 5000 Series Comparison These two are similar in name but are very different and don’t perform quite the same. The 5000X feels like a middle ground between the base 5000 and the 3000 Series. I break down the main differences and which one suits different users better. 👉 Read the Full 5000X and S5000 Comparison Philips 5000X Shaver Review The 5000X gave me a fairly smooth, quiet, and close shave. It’s not packed with power, but it’s reliable for everyday use. I found it ideal for someone looking for a good value rotary shaver with minimal bells and whistles. Manscaped 3.0 Plus vs 4.0 Pro Comparison The 4.0 Pro has only slight upgrades — if you already own the 3.0 Plus, it’s probably not worth upgrading just for the sake of it. But if you’re buying new, the 4.0 Pro might be a better choice for some. I love these Manscaped tools for shaving the nether regions! 👉 Read the Full 3.0 and 4.0 Pro Comparison Manscaped Lawn Mower 4.0 Pro Review This Manscaped trimmer is one of the best I have used, especially for trimming below the belt (so far). It’s safer, more stable, and feels like a more refined tool. I liked how controlled the trim felt compared to some other trimmers. A good option if you want something dedicated for body grooming and trimming your valuables. It's worth mentioning, though, that I would opt for the 3.0 Plus, which is cheaper. 👉 Read the Full 4.0 Pro Review Philips Quick Clean Pod Review This cleaning pod is compact and mess-free. It does not do as much as the Braun SmartClean system, but it’s simple and does the job for basic daily maintenance. Good for anyone who doesn’t want to fuss with manual cleaning (not necessary, of course). 👉 Read the Full Quick Clean Pod Review That’s it for May 2025. Please let me know if there’s anything you’d like me to test next. I’m always trying out new grooming products and happy to take suggestions. – Jason |

Three Shaving Gels Im Going For The BullDog Hi Gents. I've recently been using cartridge razors quite a lot for reviews on the YouTube channel. This has led to testing out shaving gels, which a lot of guys like to use with multi-blade razors. I hadn't used transparent shave gels for a while, but I loved them many a year ago with a Mach3. So, it's a bit of a revisit for me. The Three Shave Gels Reviewed -- Bulldog Original Shave Gel American Crew Shave Gel King C Gillette Shave Gel 1. BullDog...
