I confess: the back hair - while minimal - was getting to me. Tank tops became a no-no because of the constant fear of hair peeking out. Truth be told, I tried to address this issue with a regular razor (egads, the burns!!!) and an older Panasonic body trimmer (about 4 years ago, oodles of irritation).
Begrdugingly, I purchase the Philips Norelco BG2038/41, and hoped for the best.
Wow, this exceeded expectations. Build quality is exceptional (nice weight), also groove (that fits wonderfully in my hand). The charger station is effective without being obnoxiously large. Time to put it to use.
Even with the included back extension, it was still a bit awkward to shave that area...especially lower back...and it was anything but a perfect shave. Still, it got what it needed to do, and left zero irritation. Note I did NOT use any of the three included filters. Tanks tops audibly celebrated their release from shackles.
Feeling confident, I ventured on to the chest area. It was like shearing sheep...and within minutes, smooth as can be. Sensitive areas around chest center cleaned up easily. Again, no irritation to speak...also not perfect but darn close.
Finally, I went for broke down 'there.' With careful strokes, everything cleaned up surprisingly easily, on par with using a blade...but oh-so-less scary. Hair around there - like chest and back - came off easily.
Rinsing was easy, albeit drips a bit post rinse out of the blade area. Nothing too bad, however.
The ultimate test: the better half - who thinks dudes should have hair, that it wasn't an issue - was impressed with the results. Especially chest and upper back where muscle definition is now visible.
All in all, this is a great product that - even if for one area of shaving - is a solid purchase, one much safer than a standard blade.

Good personal groomer
This works well for grooming the dangly bits. The double sided trimmer lets you get into all sorts of awkward areas and the shaver part does not grab or bite. This is primarily what I bought it for and it does a good job.That said, I don't think it's a particularly good general shaver/trimmer. The three trimmer combs that come with it are annoying extra pieces to keep track of. I don't keep my beard super short but even the shortest comb was too long, so I just threw them all away. They might be useful if you have a longer beard that you like kept to a certain length. I also didn't have any use for the handle (for shaving your back) so I threw that away too.The charger cradle is really irritating. There's a "wall wart" AC adapter, which plugs into a cradle, which you then set the shaver into to charge. Why not just plug the adapter straight into the shaver and ditch the cradle? It seems like a useless added piece.The packaging is also annoying, although that's just a one time thing. Why the impenetrable blister pack, inside a box? Why not just one or the other? Seems like a waste. Attached are pictures of all the stuff that came with the shaver and its box, and a picture of the parts that I kept.
