Platinum Pro by MANGROOMER New Back Shaver with 3 Shock Absorber Flex Heads Power Hinge Extreme Reach Handle

2 years in this is the only powered trimmer that is still going strong. Build quality is excellent. It turns what used to be a chore into something easy to do in 5 min or less. While other trimmers have annoyed me or broke this one keeps going and going. Get rid of the safety razors and sketchy handles. You don’t have to ask for help anymore to trim up. Buy this and you’ll wish you had bought it sooner. Read more

The extended shaver works great. It does take practice. Using the wider attachment is a little hard on my skin, once I got used to it. It worked great. I would give it a 4 STAR. I did purchase three other items at the same time. The head shaver, the ear & nose trimmer, and the body groomer. The body groomer works good But it did pull a few hairs. So it too, requires practice. I would give it a 4 STAR. The nose and ear trimmer SUCKS ASS!!! Don’t buy. For that trimmer, don’t waste your energy buying it. It will disappoint. I would not give a 1 STAR. Later on I purchased some Bluetooth Wi-Fi smart tweezers, they work great with my cell phone for my nose and ear hairs, I can’t see. Next the body trimmer it works great while giving a good shave real close to your balls. Most of all it takes practice. So take your time. An electric shaver near my balls is kind of scary. Especially when it pulls a hair or two and it did. I would give the body trimmer a 4 STAR. Now for the complaints, you already know how I feel about the nose trimmer. Next The head shaver I used it once, Then it died and never worked again and that sucks because I liked it. I would give it a 4.5 STAR. But It quit working so a 1 STAR, unless you have a head trimmer that keeps working then it’s a 4.5 STAR. Well, I hope the company MANGROOMER. Takes care of me on their platinum pro edition’s. If not I’ll never change this post. But I was told that if you have a problem, man-groomer wants you to contact them directly. So they can take care of it for you. I don’t know. I will give it a try. I only ask because I am over my return time with Amazon. Like I was only going to use the head shaver twice a year. But after the first time I used it, it died. After all I bought the Platinum Pro Edition by Man-Groomer shaver and trimmers. So I expected it to work as advertised it was the best they had. I will post a new statement if they take care of me as a loyal customer. Thank you. Good luck. Read more

This is the second shaver from Mangroomer I've owned. I bought the first generation/original Mangroomer several years ago. Never had any issues with it, but needed to replace it because the blades seemed to be getting dull after many, many uses. I purchased this Platinum Pro Mangroomer in May, 2021 when I saw the new, wider blade. The wider blade is definitely an improvement. Used it about 6 times over the span of 6 months (I'm a hairy dude, so it got a heavy monthly workout). No problems until this week it just stopped running during the middle of use. Contacted Mangroomer customer service, and they responded immediately and resolved the issue straight away. Excellent customer service. My only complaint about the shaver itself is that it is a little difficult to remove the top of the trimmer head to clean out the hair. Instructions show to just press up with both thumbs. The top is on there pretty tight. Thought I might break the plastic trying to get it off. I found that prying it with my fingertips similar to opening a pull-top pop can worked best, but it still took quite a bit of effort. I recommend this product and Mangroomer to anyone who regularly battles body hair. Read more

TL/DR: I don’t recommend the PLATINUM PRO. If your hair is coarse, thick, or sensitive — or if you just want a smooth, painless shave — this unit probably won’t deliver. Unless they seriously improve the blade performance, I’ll be looking for something else. I recently bought the MANGROOMER PLATINUM PRO Back Shaver (ASIN B07VSGPWYP) hoping to replace an old unit that served me well for years. Unfortunately, after just a few uses with this new unit, I’m left feeling let down. First and foremost: the blades. Compared to my old shaver (which lasted many years), the platinum-pro blades don’t feel nearly as sharp or effective. I found myself pressing harder and running multiple passes over the same area — and instead of a smooth finish, it felt like ***hair was being pulled***. That tugging sensation made the shave uncomfortable and left my skin irritated once or twice, which defeats the purpose of a “shock absorber” / flexible-head design that’s supposed to be gentle. The advertised features — the 2.7-inch ultra-wide blade head, multiple attachments, extendable handle, and shock-absorbing flex necks — all sound nice on paper. ([Amazon][1]) In practice, though, none of those features make up for the fact that the blades just don’t cut cleanly. The shave ends up uneven, patchy, and sometimes painful. I also expected better battery life and ergonomic advantage. The unit is marketed as a “do-it-yourself” back shaver that should glide seamlessly across skin. ([Amazon][1]) But because I have to press harder and go over areas repeatedly, the ergonomic benefit is lost — I end up with sore arms and longer shave sessions. To be fair, the extra heads and wide coverage seem like they could be useful. But none of that matters when the core function — effective, safe shaving — fails. I’m unhappy because I bought this hoping for an easy, clean shave for back hair. Instead, I’m dealing with snagged hairs, uncomfortable pulls, and disappointed expectations.
