I received these products in exchange for review.

In the realm of men’s grooming, MANSCAPED has managed to carve out a distinctive niche for itself. Upon recognizing a gap in the market, they sought to address the relative neglect of men’s grooming in the groin area, which other brands had sidestepped or ignored. MANSCAPED uses a humor-infused approach to addressing a topic that can be considered sensitive for many. Their quirky product names and playful marketing campaigns bring a sense of fun to the world of men’s grooming.

Are you ready to trade your overgrown jungle for a well-manicured garden? Well, MANSCAPED swears by their tagline ‘Your Balls Will Thank You’. But do these grooming products truly deserve a standing ovation, or is it just a smooth marketing ploy? Let’s dive in and see.

The Lawn Mower 4.0

Design and Aesthetics

The Lawn Mower 4.0 trimmer has a sleek and modern look with its matte black body and metallic accents. It’s evident that high-quality materials were used, as the product feels sturdy and well-constructed. The grip is rubberized, providing a comfortable and secure hold even in a wet environment. The ergonomics have been well thought out, as the trimmer fits comfortably in my hand, and the positioning of the power button is intuitive and easily accessible during use.

Performance and Efficiency

The trimmer performs great. It has adjustable trim settings by using the two guards it comes with, each capable of two different lengths based on how far you connect them to the trimmer, allowing for versatility in how closely you want to trim. 3, 6, 10, or 13mm. Regardless of the chosen setting, the trimmer cuts hair effectively and evenly.

Safety

Safety is paramount with a product like this, and the manufacturers clearly took this into account when designing this trimmer. The standout feature is the Skinsafe blades. These blades are designed to reduce the risk of nicks and cuts, which is of the utmost importance when you’re dealing with such sensitive areas.

The Skinsafe blades work through a combination of a uniquely designed blade shape and a protective guard that sits over the blades. The blade design helps ensure that the hair is cut evenly and safely, while the guard helps prevent direct contact of the blade with the skin. This means that even if the trimmer is angled awkwardly or there’s a bit of a slip, the guard provides an additional level of safety.

Throughout my use of the product, I’ve found that these Skinsafe blades genuinely make a difference. There hasn’t been a single instance of cuts or nicks, and I’ve always felt secure during use. The safety of this trimmer is certainly one of its major selling points and is a testament to the product’s well-thought-out design.

Comfort

The trimmer was surprisingly comfortable to use, even in sensitive areas. The trimmer glides smoothly over the skin, which I think can be attributed to the good design and safety features.

Battery Life/Power

A full charge lasts roughly 90 minutes before needing to recharge. The charging time is about 5 hours, but given the longevity of each charge, it’s not an issue.

Maintenance and Cleaning

Cleaning the trimmer after use is easy. It’s fully waterproof, so rinsing it under running water is enough to clean it thoroughly. The product also came with a small brush to clean harder-to-reach areas. In terms of maintenance, the manufacturer recommends replacing the Skinsafe blade after 3 months of regular use.

Value for Money

Considering its performance, quality, and price, I find this trimmer to be excellent value for money. It’s not the cheapest option available, but the durability, functionality, and user-friendly design make it worth the investment. The product performs consistently well, making the grooming process quick, safe, and comfortable.

Persevere Cologne

Persevere Cologne comes in a sharp 50ml spray bottle that’s easy to use and carry. It looks nice on your bathroom counter as well.

I don’t know much about cologne or scents in general, so I lack the vocabulary to properly describe the scent. But I can say this, as an average Joe, I would describe the scent as “nice”. It smells nice, it feels nice to put on. Emmy likes it too!

Our only complaint though, is it doesn’t feel like the scent lasts very long throughout the day.
