The Grooming Guy becomes Poised.co.uk’s Online Grooming Editor

Over the next few months I will be writing a second blog for Poised.co.uk, a new online store dedicated to providing premium grooming, fitness and wellbeing supplies for men.

I will be offering tips and advice on what products can help you to look your best, protect you from the harsh weather, kick the signs of tiredness, beat the effects of ageing, defeat the hangovers and stay looking young.

Philips takes the fight to unwanted body hair

A bit of home gardening below the neckline is pretty standard for most blokes. Be it getting rid of unwanted hair on the shoulders, cutting down the Chewbacca style chest hair, or trimming the crown jewels, good body grooming is essential.

Philips have launched a handy grooming tool to keep you looking trim. The new Bodygroom Pro is the latest addition to the Philips suite of body grooming products and is the first all-in-one body grooming system. And it looks great! When you pick this device up, it feels like you are holding some kind of space age gadget, ready to battle with some hairy alien race. Ok, maybe I have gone a bit too far, but this seriously looks cool.

Not only does it power through chest & abs hair, as well as anywhere else you care to trim, it gives nice and even results, and manages to reach those awkward bits with ease. The trimmer includes a dual-end design with a revolutionary 3-D pivoting shaving head on one end and an enhanced trimmer with improved cutting capabilities on the other. It is made for wet and dry use and is designed to shave and trim all body zones.

But I know the big question you all want to ask – will it shave my balls? Well technically yes and no. It will comfortably shave the groin area, but I suggest using a razor and a steady hand to finish the job.

You get 50 minutes of trimming time out of an 8 hour charge. The Philips Bodygroom Pro TT2040 can be found at Boots, Argos and Amazon for RRP £70.00. http://www.philips.com/grooming
