[This review was submitted after receiving an incentive (free sample).] I was sent this product to review and I have to say I am impressed. The trimmer does not nick at all even on sensitive skin and when the regrowth starts it does itch or irritate. It fits nicely in the hand and isn't awkward to use in any direction

[This review was submitted after receiving an incentive (free sample).] Most grooming tools promise a lot and deliver the enthusiasm of a tired lawnmower. I approached the GilletteLabs i5 Body + Intimate Hair Trimmer with healthy scepticism and a moderately hairy chest. After a few weeks of use I can report two things. It trims well and I remain in full possession of all the body parts I started with.OverviewThe GilletteLabs i5 Body + Intimate Hair Trimmer is an electric body groomer developed by GilletteLabs in collaboration with Braun. It is marketed as a body and intimate trimmer for men although anyone with hair and curiosity can use it.The design focuses on safe trimming below the neck. Chest stomach legs and more delicate territory. The trimmer uses SkinFirst cutting technology aimed at reducing nicks and cuts even in sensitive areas.Three combs are included. These provide trimming lengths of 3 mm and 5 mm plus a sensitive guard. Remove the comb and the trimmer cuts very close. Think bald as a coot but with fewer regrets.UnboxingThe trimmer arrives in a tidy cardboard box. It avoids the over engineered packaging that makes you wonder how much of the purchase price went into magnets and foam inserts.Instead you get a sturdy box that still gives a satisfying first impression. Everything sits neatly inside and the packaging goes straight into the recycling without guilt.Design and Build QualityThe trimmer feels well made although lighter than expected. In practice this works in its favour. It is easy to handle and comfortable during longer grooming sessions.The plastics feel good in the hand and provide a secure grip. The power button sits in the centre where your thumb naturally lands and gives a positive click.The layout is simple. Power at one end button in the middle blades at the other end. Hair goes in dignity mostly preserved.The handle uses AquaGrip texture which helps when trimming in the shower. The unit charges with a two pin shaver plug. That works well if you have a bathroom shaver socket. If not you will need an adapter. A USB cable would likely have been more practical.FeaturesThe GilletteLabs i5 Body + Intimate Hair Trimmer focuses on practical features rather than complexity.It includes three comb attachments for trimming different hair lengths. Remove the comb and the blades deliver a close trim. Not quite razor smooth but easily neat enough for regular grooming.The trimmer uses Autosense technology which adjusts motor power based on hair density. Thick hair receives more power while lighter areas stay smooth and controlled.The rounded cutting head helps prevent snagging. This is important when trimming areas where skin is not perfectly flat.A waterproof design allows wet or dry use. The trimmer can be rinsed under running water for quick cleaning.PerformanceIn regular use the trimmer performs very well. I used it several times for beard maintenance and it handled the job easily.Chest hair was no challenge. The rounded head glides smoothly and the combs avoid scratching the skin.Over several weeks of use I experienced no nicks cuts irritation or ingrown hairs. That is exactly what you want from a body trimmer.The finish is clean and even. It does not match the closeness of a wet razor but it is more than close enough for daily grooming.Real World TestTo see how it handled typical grooming jobs I tried three quick tests.Beard tidy up.Using the 3 mm comb it trimmed evenly with no snagging.Chest hair.Handled easily. The head glides smoothly and did not leave patches.Sensitive areas.Care is always wise but the guard design helps. Slow passes worked well and there were no unpleasant surprises.What I Didn't Like At FirstThe two pin charging plug feels slightly dated. Many modern devices use USB charging. After a few uses it becomes less noticeable but travellers may still want an adapter.Cleaning and MaintenanceCleaning is simple. The supplied brush clears loose hair quickly.The cutting head cannot be removed so deep cleaning options are limited. The unit also ships without blade oil. Long term durability will depend on how well the sealed head holds up over time.Battery and ChargingCharging from empty took just under one hour during testing.The lithium ion battery is rated for about 100 minutes of runtime. In practice it easily lasted through multiple grooming sessions before needing another charge.ProsSmooth and comfortable trimLightweight and easy to handleWorks well on body hair and beardGood battery life with fast chargingWaterproof for shower useSimple low maintenance designConsTravel pouch feels flimsyTwo pin shaver plug limits charging optionsOnly three comb lengths includedVerdictThe GilletteLabs i5 Body + Intimate Hair Trimmer does exactly what a body trimmer should do. It trims cleanly avoids irritation and keeps the grooming process simple.A better pouch and modern USB charging would improve it. Everything else works well.If you want a reliable trimmer to keep body hair under control this is an easy recommendation.Score: 8.5 out of 10Most importantly after several weeks of use I can confirm the key performance metric. No nicks no cuts and no awkward explanations required.

[This review was submitted after receiving an incentive ( free sample).] Was so excited to receive this product however the charger that came with it does not work in any socket. I purchased a European to English adaptor and an American to English adaptor all to no avail.

[This review was submitted after receiving an incentive ( free sample).] My son used this gillette razor. He says it fits good in your hands not too bulky or heavy. Has a good battery life and can be used on different parts of the body which he liked. It doesn't nick your skin but leaves it smooth after shaving. Comes with different shaving clips for different lengths of hair to be removed. Overall good product.

[This review was submitted after receiving an incentive (free sample).] I got to try the GilletteLabs i5 Body Trimmer and I've been genuinely impressed. It's super smooth no pulling and really gentle on the skin - honestly one of the easiest trims I've had. It's sturdy looks great and the battery lasts ages.Didn't expect to love a trimmer this much but here we are. Definitely recommending it!

[This review was submitted after receiving an incentive (free sample).] Well it looks good but how does it perform? 3 blade attachments easy to fit easy to clean. A good start. How about with no attachment under the arms? That's usually where the cuts and scratches happen. Not a single mark! Wow. No redness nothing. Just silky smooth. Hairs cut short too! Nice work. Arms? Check. Chest? Check. Back? Check. That's the easy stuff. How brave am I feeling? Ok let's go for some more intimate parts. Wow. That is simply the BEST pair of trimmers I have ever used for this job. Simply outstanding. Not a nick or scratch using the shortest attachment. The guard 'teeth' are close together so no danger of skin getting caught. Perfect. Really pleased with that. --So looks great it's so easy to use. Light charges well. Battery lasted for ages but we will see how long it lasts over time once it has been used(and it will be used a lot now!). No nicks cuts redness or soreness. It just glides so smoothly. Cleans really easily too. Works just as well in the shower thanks to it being fully waterproof. Several days later? Still smooth. It's not as short as shaving but it is a trimmer not a shaver. Overall? Outstanding so far thanks Gilette!

[This review was submitted after receiving an incentive (free sample).] I have tried this and it works very well for regular body grooming. It trims the hair smoothly without pulling and feels gentle on sensitive areas. The waterproof design and long battery life make it practical and easy to use whether in the shower or for quick touch-ups

[This review was submitted after receiving an incentive (free sample).] I got this a few weeks ago and I was in need of needing a trim in that area and it did a brilliant job. I cannot recommend it highly enough - trimmed to perfection didn't cut or hurt in any way and will definitely being using it over and over again.

[This review was submitted after receiving an incentive (free sample).] After using this product for just under a week I have been thoroughly impressed. The unit is compact powerful and charges efficiently. It performs exactly as advertised delivering a smooth trim without nicking the skin even when used without a guard. The three included grading guards are simple to attach and fit securely allowing for quick adjustments with minimal effort. While the cut is not the closest I've experienced from a trimmer the ease of use and overall design make it a highly practical and reliable choice.
