My beloved gifted me a new personal trimmer for Valentine's Day (was my request, you filthy animals!) based on my suggestions, driven by reviews and mainly marketing. I immediately returned the newest "manscaping" gizmo that was much better at marketing than working.
The Philips Norelco Series 7K is a fantastic, versatile grooming tool that shows a LOT of thought went into it. Only down-side I can list is I wish it was Qi charging capable so it integrated with my shaver on the counter, but the battery is astounding so absolutely not a deal breaker by any means.
Using it in delicate applications with the foil side, including arm pits, works fantastically with no irritation. If you adventure to southern regions, it again is fantastically gentle and effective.
I really like the trimmer on the other side, especially since the (very effective) adjustable guard can be fully removed. Since I sport a flat-top haircut, this is great for touch-ups and shaping and the integrated and adjustable guard provides a lot of flexibility for various applications. Another use that I didn't initially expect is the foil side head also provides excellent fine-tuning and shaping of a flat-top. I have used a dedicated Bruan foil shaver for this previously, but the 7K actually is much better for this. I assume it is because of larger foil openings, slower motor speed, and different edge trimmer design. I can report it works very well and will likely retire the Bruan. Of note, the foil side is NOT intended for face shaving for the reasons I listed as a pro for hair trimming...
Very pleased and thankful to find something that works exceptionally well instead of an over-hyped "lawnmower". Don't fall for the BS, this thing is the best option out there...
