Manscaped Lawn Mower 4.0: amzn.to/3kZrOoA
In my opinion the manscaped lawn mower 4.0 is totally overpriced and overrated and I think it sucks as a trimmer in general. I think the Brio Beardscape provides you a MUCH better trimmer for a lower price point.

Manscaped Lawn Mower 4.0: amzn.to/3kZrOoA
One thing I've learned in life is that *_ANY_* product that is heavily advertised is probably crap.
If you see an ad for something and go, "Oooh! I gotta have that!" That means you should then go and seek out a competitor's version that's less heavily advertised, and you'll likely get a better quality product.
In otherword, most of its budget just went into advertising not the product.
That sounds like good advice. Thank you
@@KooriKurayami Yes!
Plus, a good product doesn't need a lot of advertising because it'll be spread by good word-of-mouth.
But a bad product does need advertising to overcome bad word-of-mouth.
this 1000%
I immediately think of raycons lmao

Never heard of this guy before, but within the first three minutes I love him. Really genuine, knows his stuff, and isn't trying to force anything. Great stuff.
dude hes a fraud🤦🏽♂️ he literally has an affiliate link in his description so if you buy he makes money
@@acidd69 You're a degenerate if you think that selling a product makes you a fraud. He opened the video telling you why you should avoid buying garbage and gave an alternative product AND reasons why it's better AND reasons why the garbage product is bad.
@@acidd69 such a stupid comment
Dude tells you not to subscribe. I like it.
@@CVMN-kf2qc the product isnt garbage maybe you jus got too much cheese down there also if hes telling you to avoid it why put an affiliate link🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️ you sound retarded
Here's a little tip for anyone in pretty much every scenario: If the product is being pushed all over the place by influencers, the product probably isn't going to be of great quality. Think of all the money that's being spent on paying these influencers, that's money they're not spending on the actual product. There's a long history of this: Raycon, Helix matrasses, Manscaped, Raid Shadow Legends, ...
Edit: Nvm you literally said the same thing about a minute after I wrote this
Olight too...
Great logic. A company that is advertising is bad because they advertise.
@@randomdan89 There's a difference between advertising and spending 80% of your budget on advertising. Every single one of the products that's being mass-pushed by influencers has been exposed for being bad quality. I assume you're one of the gullible suckers who bought Raycons, subscribed to Manscaped and spends all his money on new characters for Raid Shadow Legends :)
I will throw in foursigmatic in that list, the mushroom tea that tastes like garbage and doesn't do shit in terms of energy. Total marketing BS. That was the crap that taught me Tim Ferris is mostly full of shit.
@@randomdan89 Not what they are saying. WHat they are saying is that a majority of their budget is being pushed on advertising and packaging. The packaging alone for this product is probably about 30% of the cost. They do this to "look good", and trick people into thinking the product is better than what it actually is. Nobody is saying that a company can't be good AND have a lot of advertising, but when your target marketing campaign is influencers, it's not good.
I was one of the suckers who didn't know I signed up for the hygiene plan. My replacement blades got sent to my parents house, but the package also included ball wipes. My mom sent me a pic of it asking questions. So embarrassing...
lol
lmao
I asked my mum for it for Christmas no shame from me lol
if you're embarrassed by hygiene you have issues man. If she clowned you over it, she's a POS.
Nah dude, having dirty balls is embarrassing, wipe yo nuts 🛀
He is exactly right about everything he said. When people pitch something to sell it they will sugar coat things to a disgracefully point, all he is doing is calling BS.. respect and thank you sir.
sounds like raid ads or even vpn sponsorships that say they "anatomize you"
This entire video is actually to promote the trimmer he has affiliation with. You don't have to sugarcoat what you sell, you can just shit on the competitors.
If he just called out BS and that was it, i would had nothing to say. But he is taking advantage of people looking for reviews on the Manscaped to promote Brio.
@@amitkoren948 exactly but some people arnt that smart
Literally every company does that and it's legally allowed
@@amitkoren948 it’s way better then manscape so who cares he’s telling the truth
Found this randomly. Why can’t every RUclipsr be like this him. Very honest, straight to the point. Asks to subscribe if you are a beard guy but not otherwise. Left a like for honesty
I mean to be fair most youtubers start that way, until manscape, raid, etc drops that $50k for a 30 sec ad lol
I have the 4.0. I tried it in the shower first time and quickly realized what you said about water and hair is true. So now I use it prior to showering.
The light is good a good feature if you need it when trimming "down stairs" at strange angles.
It works fine. No complaints.
I've had it for a couple years now and it goes ok.
Although I havent used the one you recommend nor any other so I dont have any other reference to compare it too.
I was duped by their hygiene plan as you referenced, however they refunded it and let me keep the package because it had been dispatched. Good customer service.
Lesson learned:
If they need a million un-official sponsorships on youtube, it's probably not a very good product.
Only good sponsor I’ve found was raycon. 🤣 recommended it to my co workers and they got pairs too
Not strictly, there’s some great products that RUclipsrs get sponsored by

@@merienda4958 How's about any Nord VPN advertisement ever? Which is actually the best VPN out there.
Cough, cough; Ray's Con (Raycon earbuds)
Thank you for saying it when nobody else will. Finally after years of seeing my favorite RUclipsrs advertise for manscaped I bought the 4.0 and you CAN NOT trim down low on the UPA without nicking yourself over and over. You really can’t even trim your face without it nicking your face too. I have a $20 Gillette trimmer that I’ve had for like 3 years that still doesn’t trim great.. but it trims 10X better than this Lawnmower 4.0.
Then your not trimming right
Idk only nicked myself twice 🤷🏾♂️
I've never nicked myself with it and i shave my balls at least once a week sometimes more
@@SonOfSparda03 same people suck at using this thing i did it in the shower no less and am almost as clean shaven as a newborn. All you have to do is slightly grab the hair when its too tall to get a better full cut angle. And when the hairs get stuck just check yourself over and wash them away rinse repeat. And hell i don't know why he even mentioned the hair getting stuck in it considering the fact it also opens to remove the hair and has even safer replaceable heads then the stock one in the kit.
I think you have problem with trimming
Thanks my dude! I bought the Manscaped Lawnmower for my husband last year. It's fine. My old Philips lady trimmer broke recently, so I came to RUclips for product recs. Your Brio link led me to the Ivy trimmer. Great price so I ordered just now. Fingers crossed!
Well presented, thumbs up.
That said, I just got delivery of one today before seeing this review and being a bit new to this specific type of product.
Mine was a special Ebay deal: brand new incl all accessories BUT no box/instructions, neither of which bothered me £50 and everything works as expected ...bargain!
So far, all is good, tried it out tentatively on my facial stubble, no guard and it worked just fine, tried it 'down there' earlier again, no guard ...absolutely NO nicks or tugs, though I do have very good manual dexterity and have had quite a lot of practice with much cruder equipment! In anticipation of wear and tear, I also order two replacement blade units (£16).
If the battery gives out after a year or two, I'll probably open it up and attempt to put a new one in.
Conclusion: I like it.
5:53 While you certainly could be right about the RPM being lower, it could be a marketing thing, the motor itself could be running at 7200 RPM and the actual trimming component may just be geared down to be slower.
Or they advertised the motor idle RPM but under the load of the trimming component the RPMs drop down
If you run it with out the blade on it sounds higher pitch once the blade is on it’s a lower pitch
Judging rpm on pitch is wrong. Pitch is influenced by so many other factors, like the design of the device, the materials, how well enclosed it is, etc
@@MrDgf97 Yeah constant factors have a constant impact on pitch. That's like saying IDK what note will come out of a guitar when I pluck an open E string because the speaker box has other factors to it...
@@MrDgf97 No, not really. The pitch is DIRECTLY related to rpm. You can make the whole thing out of iron, aluminium, plastic, even wood - the pitch comes from the RPM. 7200 rpm is 120 Hz - a low hum.
The material only affects the characteristics but not the fundamental frequency.
Never tried any of their trimmers. Got the Brio initially for my beard and have never had one single issue so no need to try anything else. I’ve also used my Brio for every trim for a year on one charge and the ability to change the power setting is awesome. Overall the Brio was one of the best investments I’ve ever made for any product.
Brio is the best. First one I had was defective and customer service immediately replaced it for me without hassle.
That's how it works. Make a decent product, get a huge customer base, discontinue the product and release sub-par remakes for eternity.
Nice. Finally a channel I can get some honest direct information. I just began using a straight razor for shaving and I own the Brio as well. I just found this channel, so I haven't gone thru your videos (yet) to see if you cover straight razors. And using a trimmer in the shower is the most ludicrous thing I can imagine a person can do. Liked and subbed
After getting a $30 charge that I wasn't aware of I watched a manscape video to see exactly what I was involved in and yours followed. Thanks for the info.
I bought a Lawnmower 4.0 recently and missed the part about the hygiene plan. I just saw this £15 transaction on my card. Credit to their customer support though, they actually refunded the full amount and even let me keep the first hygiene plan as the items had already been dispatched after I requested the refund.
Same here
Nice

I still remember how they started marketing the manscaped as a "no knick" trimmer at the beginning , but they had to keep coming up with new versions because everyone was getting knicked. lol
Underrated comment 🤣🤣🍻
As a hobbyist barber ceramic blades are sharper run cooler and last longer then metal so replacing them every 3 months is ridiculous and geared towards the folks that just don’t know any better and they’re marketing is everywhere almost everyone knows that trimmer.

Thanks for the video. Just purchased the latest version of the Brio. I’ve got a reoccurring nightmare of cutting through a vein or the super thin skin “down there” and bleeding out. Praying that this all goes well. 😬
Very thankful for this, just bought the package a couple days ago and now I went in and canceled the hygiene plan, thank you for the tip
Agree with your points for the most part. The Lawn Mower alone IS over priced IMO. I bought the entire performance package when it was 20% off for the price of the just the Lawn Mower. I stand in the shower and trim BEFORE actually showering. Cutting wet hair ANYWHERE on your body is a no no IMO. As far as the hygiene plan. It's a great way to buy a small stockpile of replacement blades/cutter heads for the Lawn Mower and Weed Wacker because your getting two items for the price of one if bought individually. Once you've acquired your desired amount then cancel the plan. I added the plan along with my purchase of the Performance Kit and it allowed me to select how often I received the two items I choose to be shipped to me. There is an option for every 6 months. Select the two items you want or they will send you the stupid stuff eventually... ball mop, hair collection newspaper, etc. Too many people don't read or research. Also, the Lawn Mower comes with 2 adjustable guard choices that are supposed to be used with it. Your NOT supposed to use the trimmer without them and proper "angle of attack" is also required. This is described in the included users guide. People using it improperly might as well use a safety or straight razor to shave their nether region.
With that said, I'm not slamming the Brio line of products by any means. I have the Brio Beardscape and it's hands down a superior trimming tool.
I just wanted to clear up what I felt were some improperly addressed points concerning the Manscaped Lawn Mower.
On a side note, if you know what you're doing, using a safety razor on the nether regions can work fairly well.
@@implicitmatrix1312 True. More so for a woman than a man though.

I love how you tell them what they're doing right and what they can improve on.
For me the led is a game changer. When you are grooming down below you want precision, especially since you’re usually hunched over blocking a lot of the overhead light. The led really allows you to see exactly where your blade is going. Also the skin safe technology really is “skin safe”, I’ve never cut myself while using my lawnmower (I have the 3.0) whereas with cheap trimmer I have countless times.
lol
I don't have a Manscaped product, but I think waterproofing is a nice feature to have. I like to keep my Braun trimmer + epilator clean.
Lmao, cause your one anecdotal experience = consistency, right?
@@Ghost1170 well he did say “for ME”, so..
My 4.0 is pretty sick, for what that’s worth. No issues/complaints whatsoever so far. Blows everything I’ve used before out of the water.
I’ve had the Brio Beardscape for probably years now. One of the best investments I’ve ever made. Not once even replaced the blades and they still cut like a hot butter knife (take care of them though with oil and such). I trim everything. If I want to go hairless, use the Zero blade to trim down first. Use the ceramic blade for my groin area. Use the Zero blade and attachments on my facial hair. It really is do-it-all and one of my favorite purchases of all time. I actually believe it might’ve been a video that I’ve seen from you years back that pushed me to buy it (although I had heard of it before that). I was pretty young then and looking back I’m glad I was instilled at a young age to always look for other products (this just came into play recently when I was purchasing a conditioner to help with my thinning hair/receding hairline… yes at 18 too lol, and it isn’t a new issue. Found one with the exact same ingredients I needed at half the price, absolutely love it). Just take a bit to look for what you need people, don’t buy into marketing. With online purchases and such, I always do my research and watch reviews from people who aren’t sponsored. Bit different when in-store but more or less the same, sometimes do a little research on the spot and I typically know what I’m generally looking for before making a purchase.
what kind of oil do you use on the blades?
The oil tube usuallyaccompaniesthe shaver@@abrahamramos1580
Something I realized watching this is that many people just probably didn't know how much shaver tech had evolved because most people don't pay attention to that until theirs breaks, so they(me included) see the fancy features, and don't realize how common they are and how over priced they are on the manscape.
no one asked
@@De4dSp0t yeah I remember the first time shaving my sack and immediately thought right before doing it, "I'd have to be a mad lad to not flatten my shit before doing this". I've only had one nick incident
@@eamon1597 *you
Couldn't you just use clippers like you use for your head hair for trimming down there and in general?
@Mr Pais It's definitely way cheaper. 🤣
My missus works at a beard and shavers place and she said they stocked manscape for awhile and they had so many complaints they refused to renew the contract and took it off the shelves. She did confirm they spend literally 10s of millions on marketing.
this is where you find out the real deal on products, from the people who actually sell it. that's why I ask the server whats their favorite food because they usually have tried everything.
Does your missus' employer sell any other body hair trimmers? The lawnmower is not meant for facial hair. And this youtuber doesn't think that blades go dull by discouraging getting the peak hygiene plan which he misrepresents. the $15 gets you the replacement blades and one other item for a big discounted price.
@@andrewschliewe6392 yes they do, quite a few different brands if I recall
What were the complaints? Just wondering because I love mine.
@@CustardCream22 from memory it was quality issues. I'm sure that some of their producta are fine, but yeah, quality issues was their reasoning.
Thank you man. I almost bought the manscaped 4.0 and was wondering what other options. Just ordered the Brio trimmer 2.0. Much appreciated!
I have used the manscaped 4.0 for many months and dont have any problems with it. I knew from the beginning that "skin safe technology" was bullshit--no trimmer doesnt have the risk of cutting you. If youre cutting a sensitive area you should obviously be careful. I have cut myself a few times but I expect some occurrences despite how cautious I try to be. I do like the light. And I have never tried to use it in the shower. It seems appealing but using any electronics in the shower just sounds like a terrible idea to me, regardless of how water resistant it is.
So you would recommend it then because I’m trying to figure it out
I’ve used the 3.0 for a long time with shower sessions every single time and had no issues, LED still works fine. I upgraded to the 4.0 just recently because I liked the Limited Edition purple one for testicular cancer awareness. With the 4.0 I still use it in the shower every time I need to trim down there or trim my legs. Still runs perfectly fine, so if you’re worried about it breaking on you it won’t
@@austinallen5442100% recommend for doing a quick trim up down there in the shower. People downplay the LED as just a gimmick but when you’re in the shower and hunched over, you don’t really get a lot of light down there with the curtain blocking some of the light let alone your shadow. If you really want to go in depth with it then sure you can finish up after you get out of the shower after everything is dried up. Like I said in the comment above, the 3.0 and 4.0 are both amazing, the 4.0 is nice because it has the battery indicator letting you know when you’re running low. Hope this helps😁
I haven’t cut myself with it
It gets a little heated but no problems
I did look at the Manscaped because of all their marketing when my Philips groomer stopped holding its charge. The marketing jargon and cool photos plus the high price for what it is put me off though.
I ended up getting a Braun groomer half price in the black Friday sales. It seems good so far for simple home use. The functionality is more varied then Manscaped and the price was way less. There's no monthly plans and a long guarantee. It is also much better than my old Philips one which was top of the range when I bought it.
I have a philips Norelco trimmer I got for Christmas some years back. For as often as I use it, seems to be working decent. I may buy the lawnmower if I can’t find a comparable substitute
Thank you for your videos. I actually bought myself a Beardscape at Christmas based on some of your videos and I'm super impressed with how high quality it is - especially considering I'd never even heard of the brand before seeing your content.
Bro you saved me. I was literally a click away from buying and didn’t see the £14.99 bullshit. Thank you sir, you’ve earned a sub and a like. Keep up the good work.
Thank u for this video, the comparison to raycon is so on point. I really enjoyed this vid cause i use manscape because of marketing mostly & at the time there wasnt much geared towards manscaping at the time & i got tired of using cheap store brought clippers in my stuff. i will def purchase the brio & hopefully have a better experience. Also i was one of the ones that tried it in the shower, for testing purposes, & its def harder to trim like that & i def nicked myself a couple times smdh, cost of testing lol.
I respect the guy not pestering about "subscribeing" he seems to know his audience well.
I dont fault people for doing that tbh. RUclips kinda forces you to in these times.
I'm not at all shocked. It recently occured to me while watching a manscaped promo; that a relatively new and small company pumping massive amounts of money into advertising must be recouping that cost through ludicrous profit margins. Then I paused the video at the cut to the product image and examined it closely, and thought it looked like a piece of junk.
Glad to hear that common sense wins true again! Thanks for not being a shill!
This is the first video I’m watching from your channel and I loved the fact that you don’t compel to subscribe unless you’re a beard guy!!

Appreciate the insights! It is so awesome to see a youtuber say "dude, you wont like my channel if you are not into beards, so don't subscribe, unless you are that kind of dude"

I’m honestly glad that I stumbled upon your channel today because I actually got to learn something new out of choosing the best razors based on quality and pricing, and also the LED light essentially help you to get a much cleaner shave, especially in areas that are dark and hard to see, especially when you’re bathroom has lights that are never bright enough to see whether or not you shaved off the hair. Although helpful, it definitely wouldn’t help me much as I’m pretty much as blind as a bat (not joking either, without my glasses, I can’t even read large bold text and signs, and to top it all off, whenever I look at an eye chart without my glasses, the chart literally looks as though it is just a blank white sheet of laminated paper, and not even the “old man squint” works to help these 21 year old eyes to read the boldest of signs) but anyways, overall, the light helps to see those remaining little almost invisible stubborn wisps or patches of hair that you somehow ended up missing, due to the darn razor gliding completely over the hair and yet it *STILL* proceeds to not cut a single one of the stubborn survivors, and it’s honestly so much worse than it has to be, due to my current blindness. So yeah, thank you for the insightful information about this topic! Hope you have a great rest of your day!
Im actually part of a religion where one of the commandments from God is "Thou shall not shave or trim body hair in any building or environment that has a source of light within 8km." So as you can imagine, in my pursuit to zealously and fervently follow my holy God, that LED light comes in handy! :)
Lol am 22 old too and i have the same lifestyle with my eyes 😔💔
I have the 2.0 and use it a lot. I actually really like the light. It could use a toggle button. The blades will definitely nick you if not careful. It really doesn't cut as close as it needs to and the battery life is ass with no indicator really of when it will die not a horrible product but very disappointing especially if you paid a lot. My "Perfect Package 2.0" was less than $60 so its been worth it with the bag, spray and lotion. The bag is super well made and very useful. I use it a lot. All in all I probably like the Brio better but would miss the bag "Shed"
I looked at the reviews on Amazon for this thing. There were faar too many reports of blood. I realised that I'm quite happy with a regular clippers and a steady hand
I’ve had a cheap Phillips one that I used for everything including hair, beard and pubes for about 7 years, now it has gotten weak so I got another Philips, series 5000 on offer on Amazon for less than £40, it is a big step up from what I had, mostly because they increased their quality overall, the head and blade are easier to clean and and made of better materials, unlike this manscaped, they invest into making their stuff always better. I trust Philips for trimmers
same as the one i have, havent charged it for 8 months either xd
@@Zirion123 i never had mine run out of battery now that you mentioned, but every time I cut my hair and beard I charge it. Even my 7 year old one, I was able to cut hair, beard and body hair with the battery just dying, so about 90 minutes
I've had a Norelco for about 10 years, I just got this lawn mower 4.0. Hopefully it doesn't knick my nuts like the Norelco did lol.

you no the problem today we give idiots like you the option to voice ur stupidity
I appreciate your honesty in this video. However, I just bought the 4.0 for me and my husband (separate trimmers) and I tried it for the first time and I was absolutely blown away. But this is probably due to the completely underwhelming options for female trimmers... I've had quite a few female marketed trimmers and they are all just absolutely terrible. So when I tried this trimmer and it cleaned everything up I'm a single swipe without having to go back over everything 20 times it 100% made me feel confident about my purchase. I will say though, I used it with the guard because I am forever scared of nicking my lady bits, and I was slightly disappointed that it doesn't glide over the skin very easy. Didn't nick myself and maybe I was being too cautious, I was very aware of how I was holding it, making sure the back was level with my skin and not going in the way I wanted to and holding it at those right angles. But it was kind of hard to keep an even pace with the thing because I felt like the back of the trimmer wasn't slick enough...like pulling something rubber over your skin and it kinda sticks and jumps as you pull it along. But still, it took 2 minutes to completely trim everything and I've never had a trimmer half as good as this one.
One more thing to add, I wish male trimmers came with the guards some female trimmers come with, where the guard is like a whole shell that slides over the top of the unit instead of just the back. I liked this on my female trimmers because it meant you could hold it at any angle you wanted, push in as hard as you wanted, and you were never at risk of your skin and the blade coming into contact. I'm sure this resulted in a less smooth/close trim, but it really helped with the nerves while trimming a place you couldn't fully see.

Another warning sign for any product. If it comes in a super big n' fancy packaging, but it is a relatively inexpensive product (eg you expect a fancy box with a 10000$ Rolex, not a 100$ Casio). You are paying for that box (which most people then throw out), and a lot of the money you spent is going into the box (which is part of marketing and product retention) rather than into the product. The box makes the item look like it is quality when it isn't.
I use my Lawnmower 4.0 in the shower and it works fine. Granted, I am not using the guard on the default trimmer, I use the 1mm guard, which helps pull up the hair to get trimmed even when I'm wet. I only nicked myself once and it was when I was trying to cut at a 90 degree angle before I started using the 1mm guard, something I knew I shouldn't be doing. So, it seems to work well and as advertised FOR ME. I emphasize that because I do not have very thick body hair as some other people might and it doesn't grow as fast as other guys, so this might just work well for my situation. Overall, the lawnmower 4.0 works perfectly well for me, plus the ball deodorant is great, or at least I really like it. So, I feel I've gotten what I needed from it. That, plus the LED works well for me because the lighting in my shower is kinda crap and I'm black. I need the extra light to see what I'm doing down there. Lol
Thank u‼️‼️
Great self review!.. that guys complaints were mainly pep-peeves and based off his own experiences.
Its obvious that if you let your body hair grow long? Then you “may” have some discomfort when using the product in the wet.
So if he had said “if you are someone that doesn’t trim frequently? Then there’s a disclaimer you should know about”.. instead, making it look like it will happen to everyone that uses the product 🤷♂️
@@Sorry_ImTruthful I've bought from Brio before (based on a youtubers recommendation of it over manscaped), and it was complete trash. Thing was weak as hell out of the box, and died completely on me after a few months of use. I've never bought from manscaped before, but will 100% be going with them this time around.
I got mines for Christmas and I love it. I’m use to nicking myself with t-liners so I have a steady hand and the 4.0 is awesome.
@@Mr.McCullough I just got mine In the mail today and it work wonders, I love it‼️
You know I was actually thinking about getting the manscaped one but I wanted to look up reviews before I bought one, because I see so many sponsored youtubers but absolutely nobody talking about how good it actually is. This is a great video!
I have had the 3.0 for like 3 years. I use to use it in the shower and it always nicked me. I stopped using in the shower and it still nicks me. I’ve been convinced that manscape sucks and you just validated my belief.
YOUR A LEGEND!! Thanks to you i cancelled my Peak Hygiene Plan... i know i was irresponsible for not reading everything but at least your video saved me up some money , besides that great video and keep it up.
I picked up the brio from watching your last video and I’ve got to say it’s amazing, I’ve had it for nearly a year and I’ve charged it once! I have also never cut myself using it.
I can't find the video which brio?
@@CoD_Maj3st1k it’s in the description
Same I picked up the Brio after watching his last Manscape review and I charged it once in over a year
@@CoD_Maj3st1k look at his Manscape 3.0 video
Meanwhile, I'm using a cheap trimmer for my forest of thick and curly hair and doing just fine. Rarely do I get a nick, it's usually it's my fault too. I appreciate you calling out the sugarcoating and lies while offering a better alternative. You got my like.
yeah and i bet he got payed to advertise them
I just use a straight razor on my package, i like the danger
@@vicious12394 lol you do you live on pardon the pun the razors edge
I bought it a while back and never noticed I was getting a subscription package as well. But to be fair when I was charged for it and complained they refunded me and still allowed me to keep me replenishment package they already sent. But yeah, most companies use these sort of aggressive marketing, at least this one caught my attention to these products.
"This channel's not about trimming yer ballsack..."
Well, sir, let me get my coat.
Honestly I never bought it because I saw your first video on mandscapped. This razor for 84$ is wild. I bought a Gillette styler on Amazon for 17$ and it cleans me up really well. I use the electic shave to get down to the sub, and then put on the blade razor to get that smoothness. Works for me
Bro could you post the link?
@@gilbertobenitez1972 the Gillette?
A lot of what you say is true, but owning a few things I will say that I personally have never nicked myself with it. I think you shouldn't shave in the shower because a bigger issue is if you don't trim regularly you can potentially clog your drain and/or rust the blades easier. Another "benefit" is you can get it for a little cheaper with the promo codes they constantly push out to get people to buy it. The light does actually "work" having the light shine against the hairs makes them stand out a bit more so you don't miss a hair as much but really overhyped and not really necessary.
What do you recommend then
So the manscape is worth getting im seriously inquiring in getting so I need real life reviews
I’m glad I saw your video I was just getting ready to purchase the 4.0 and I decided to do some research since I already have the 1.0 I was like okay I’m ready for the upgrade but I said let me check some videos out and I glad I did thanks for the info 🙏🏼
I appreciate your genuine concern & honesty, thank you :)
Decided to order a Brio. Thanks for the information. I was close to buying a Mower.
Update: Used it for the first time for manscaping. Ended up cutting myself somehow. 🤔
Otherwise it did pretty well in other areas 'down there'
damn it stings man lol
I'm very glad to came across this review video; I've been waiting for the moment to buy one and now I'm glad to not only be steered away from the over hyped reputation of Manscaped but also recommended a better, less expensive option as well. I appreciate you taking the time to give out that PSA to all of the unknowing. 👍🏾
It's not better if you can't take in the shower. I have my 3.0 for more than a 1 and mine doesn't rust and doesn't nicks.
I got the 4.0 performance package less than a year ago, and I knew and was told about the hygiene package, I get it sent every 6 months instead of 3 and in all honesty with everything that is came with for the mere price of 130$ it is an absolute steal, and I love every product I got. I haven’t had one issue yet.
@@cyb3rdeckerthank bro. This guy need to do his research.
You the man, I’m glad I seen this video and will be taking your word for it. I suppose better products speak for themselves and don’t need people to advertise them
How refreshing - "I'm not going to ask you to subscribe" - I don't have a beard so I won't but your frank honesty almost made me subscribe. Thanks for this vid cos I've been looking at these devices too and they're damn expensive in my currency.
Couldn't agree more. I had the Lawn Mower 4.0 and the battery life out of the box was no more than 30 minutes (they advertise 90). Within 6 months the battery had MAYBE 5 minutes of usage before dying. They claim to have an over-charge protection circuit built in, but every time I picked it up off the charger it was very hot to the touch, which made me think it wasn't working. I just contacted them (outside of their 90 day warranty), so we'll see what they decide to do. I've had it less than six months.
Hey, thank you so much for this video. I am a woman and I don't understand much about trimmers (never needed to), but this was very educational on one side and honest on the other. I only clicked because I see this product advertised everywhere and wanted to see any criticism it might warrant I got that and more. Your beard rocks!
Thanks for the heads up my man. Was about to fall for the marketing hype, but opted for the Beardscape Beard and Body Trimmer V1 instead. 👍🏾
I loved this video, I appreciate so much when people is brutally honest like this in a product review
I’m so glad I came across this video. I had the manscaped and honestly thought it sucked. I purchased this Brio brand you recommended and took it for a test drive today. By far the best trimmer for the downstairs mixup I have ever used. No nicks or nothin. 5 stars ✨
Do ya love meh?
why was ur manscaped bad?
I have the Brio beardscape. I’ve had it for years. Best trimmer around.
I know I'm here commenting 1 year after you posted this, but this is a great video.
I've been on the market for a new nose hair trimmer and I heard that Manscape has one of those as well. So I simply got curious about their products in general and here I am now.
You hit the nail on the head though- I've come to the realization that any product promoted by a RUclipsr is PROBABLY bad. I tried Raycon recently and while the sound was solid, I got less than 8 hours of battery life in a single charge. Their products claims to last 16 hours. Or was it more even?
It's as you said; these products aren't good, they just had more funding for their PR.
But thank you. Now I'll look elsewhere for that nose hair trimmer. haha
I accidentally bought the peak hygiene plan. Was annoying when I got billed for it, but they were able to get it cancelled and refunded when I emailed them about it.
I personally don't have any problems with the 3.0, been using it for a year or two now. I use the guard they provide on the penultimate height, so I don't cut myself, and then I take the guard off and go around again very carefully.
I don't use it in the shower for the reasons you mentioned, it makes it very difficult to shave.
I find the LED light useful because the lighting in my bathroom isn't great, and it can be hard to see when shaving under the sack and around the back.
That being said, it does sound like the Brio Beardscape is superior in a lot of ways and for a cheaper price. Though I do like that the Lawnmower is smaller, as it makes it easier to get into tight spaces.
Either way, I'm happy with my Lawnmower for now, but maybe I'll look into some of Brio's products in the future.
Never mow your lawn in the rain. Same concept.
Pretty good review tho. I got the manscaped trimmer yesterday because it looks sleek, small and easy to use and I was right. I never cared for the rpms or battery life because it’s something I won’t use too often.
Did you cut yourself.?Planning on getting one…
@@Kevin4M3 I mean you're most likely going to cut yourself at some point. Doesn't matter what razor or trimmer you use, there is always the risk of cutting yourself. Just cut carefully and like this guy said, don't trim in the shower.
Stay safe buddy :)
best thing abrout brio is that i have never seen a paid promotion by them on youtube. always authentic reactions and review.
Alpha M did sum sponsor from Brio
Very helpful!
I’m 20 years old and I’ve been shaving in the shower since I started shaving so thank you for the tip I didn’t realize that lol
Super info, many thanks 🙌🏾 Was getting ready to purchase the MnSkD ‘til I saw your wonderful review 👍🏾… Keep America beautiful, stay trimmed 😊
Use mine in the shower all the time and never had a problem. Never cut myself or anything. My only comparison is cheap trimmers so I can't compare to the ones you recommend but I have absolutely no complaints.
Facts same here
he is afiliated with that brand thats why he chose that one he gets payed for u using his link
I own a manscape lawn mower 3.0 and it's my first electric razor so i dont have much to compare on, however i've liked it for the most part especially as just a beard trimmer. Gets a close shave, comes with guards, and i like its sleek design. as a ball trimmer though, I learned pretty early though that using it in the shower actually sucks imo, however even outside of one it does seem to knick me often for being skin safe technology, like every 1 out of 4-5 shaves. I dont go crazy or anything, i just trim just under and opposite the direction of the hair, i dont push it hard into my skin or anything yet it still manages to grab and knick my skin. Its more annoying than painful or anything else really. However one issue reoccurs more often and idk if other people also experience it, but when im trimming without a guard, the metal tongs will literally poke and stick inside of the hair pore. it can hurt a bit sometime but moreso i think it causes the shave bumps even ingrown hairs sometimes which can be worse imo. I still oddly like it though im kind of getting fed up with that particular issue so im thinking of buying a new one. Thank you for a great recommendation btw.
Why are you using the same trimmer on your face as your balls? 🤢
@@obi-wankenobi592 maybe he has different blades for each?
@@obi-wankenobi592 Why not?
@@obi-wankenobi592 It's his own balls how is that gross? Especially if he's clean.
@@obi-wankenobi592 Spotted someone with dirty balls.
I have the Lawnmower 4.0 and use it every so often, but I mostly use it to trim my facial hair rather than the nether regions.
When it came in on the box it said you should first charge it, but I was able to use it out of the box just fine and for a good while might I add, but that's probably because I don't trim daily.
I was smart enough to understand that I was paying for a sort of subscription so I went to the page to check it out, I set it to every year so that my room wouldn't be filled with extra blades and such for a product I don't use that much to warrant those amount of extra blade, but I forgot I did that so when I was on vacation I suddenly got a mail that a package was sent.
Speaking of before I went I decided to trim down below because I didn't want to have sweaty balls on vacation, and I nicked myself a couple of times, but I can't really blame the trimmer for it because it was first time doing it and I didn't have a way to get a good look at everything.
Overall I think it's a decent trimmer, but it's probably not the best one for somebody who's trimming and shaving themselves daily.
I originally had manscape 3.0. Not only have I been cut on multiple occasions, the manscape isn’t water proof. I tried washing my manscape, and it literally shut off and hasn’t worked ever since. I am going to purchase beardscape, and hopefully i have a better experience
He makes a lot of good points. I have the lawnmower 4.0 and love it. Also Manscapped does try to sell you hard on the subscription when you buy it. It was annoying. The battery is plenty on the lawnmower 4.0. Every time I use it, it only goes down one bar. I've never cut myself and yes, do not use in the shower. I never tried but knew that is a dumb idea because of the hair being wet. Also the it comes with 2 attachment lengths. The bigger one sucks. The smaller one is good. Overall I give it a 8/10 so far over the past 7 months.
I feel like this is a good review. Mostly I am here because RUclips recommended your video to me. I can't figure out why but I gave you a thumbs up and now I'm a bit more educated on ball trimmers. My guy friends are going to be traumatized lol
Given the prices are about the same between the two shavers, I don’t think the 4.0 is a bad deal. Can’t speak for the brio, but the manscaped shaver works well in my experience. The only issue I’ve encountered so far is after a couple years of use, the blade has fallen apart. The replacement blades are about $20, which isn’t too much more than those of the brio. Perhaps the brio shaver is a better deal in the long run, but I don’t think it’s fair to call the manscaped shaver a bad product. It’s still far better than anything I’ve bought in-store. Plus, if you have a code to use, it’s actually cheaper than the brio.
I still have mine and it works good
Thank you so much I just subscribed. I just got the brio I think maybe a newer version but still I have never shaved my eggs with trimmer before because I was scare of injury. Just bought Brio not only a much faster process but no injuries at all southern side is clean and handsome very smooth first experince.
I bought a Wahl beardtrimmer kit on sale that comes with a whole bunch of different guards. I even use it at 90 degrees at some spots on my neck when lining my beard and not once has it ever nicked me and it gets a really nice close shave. My only complaint is one of the guards which has an adjustable length selector on it I can't get it to clip onto the trimmer. I've probably just missed something in the manual though so just consider that user error lol.
Funny story, I've been using only those trimmers literally forever, like since I was teenager. I thought getting cut with a electric trimmer was a myth untill I tried one of those aesthetic Chinese trimmers last week. You just gotta bend and flex that adjustable guard to get it on, almost impossible to get on/off, the tab hangs out a bit but it works fine.
I have a Wahl extreme grip beard trimmer. In my experience the adjustable length guard needs to be set to the lowest to be able to clip onto the trimmer.
Well there is a reason why most barber shops use the Wahl. Just some good stuff.
My $12 Amazon trimmer has served me right for the past 3 or so years... got knicked a few times early on but you get used to maneuvering the thing and it’s really rare. Only problem I have with it is it gets really hot so I have to space out regions. All in all, I’d give it a Not Manscaped out of 10
Bro I had the EXACT same experience to the detail
Use trimmer oil
What’s the brand name of the Amazon trimmer? I’m on the hunt for one right now.
@@chrismccall797 dude lucky for you I’m watching RUclips on the toilet right now and it’s Woner
A shaver at the price of a burger.. that gets hot on top of it.. it'll probably end up blowing off your face or worse. This is just too cheap, any way you look at it.
Dude… thank you. I was gonna buy the manscaped but I always look up a product before buying it (especially when it’s a decent amount) and now am going to buy the brio ALSO your channel is exactly what I need beard care 101 lol
Couldn't agree with you more. Bought the nose hair trimmer..... Inferior in every way to my 15 yr old (regular battery operated) conair nose trimmer. They have an outstanding marketing team. Too bad they do not live up to the hype. Thanks for posting this honest review! I hope they take your comments to heart and improve the product based on your and other customer feedback.
Hi BeardTube, got recommended your video for a while and thought I'd check it out.
I was always considering getting the Lawnmower 3.0, and more recently the 4.0, but having seen this I think I'll steer clear.
My beard trimmer seems to work well for my nether regions (a few nicks every now and then isn't too bad 😄)
A great introduction to your channel, been growing my beard out as of late so I'm always in the business of getting to look decent!
I got a generic trimmer off Amazon two years ago for around £30 and honestly it's great. Ceramic and titanium blades, adjustable length blades and speed, RGB LED display, uses a generic phone charger and has a 2.5 to 3 hour charge. Blades about the same width as the manscape though, but I use it to shave everything including my evil looking eyebrows. I mean what is it with turning 50 and hair growth getting out of control, I was always hairy, but after I hit 50, boom, Chewbacca.
As a 31 year old man, fuck.
Dude, thank you so much for this video. I was about to buy a manscaped trimmer. Just bought the one you recommended on the video. Thanks a lot
I had found your video after buying one. I didn't know i had signed up for the plan (totally missed the prompt), i don't even remember making a password for the site, yet i received an email about being on a plan. Had to make an account to cancel it. Pretty sneaky of them I'll see how the shaver goes but will keep this video in mind for the other product. cheers for the video.
Damn I love how to down to earth this man is. I wish we had more RUclipsr's like him in the personal care genre of RUclips
He is still advertising another product
@@gamer9 True he is, however pointing out the flaws in the Lawnmower 4.0 while giving viewers an alternative option to actually purchase and not to get tricked by subscription plans as well as exaggerated advertisment from Manscaped is actually a good idea, nobody is forced to buy the other trimmer, yet people will probably have a different opinion about Manscaped.
I’m 16, I don’t got a beard, but this guy gives good vibes and he’s chill asf so I subscribed 😂
??? lol.
These are for trimming your balls mate
I have the manscaped 4.0 and it's a good shaver, I like the LED light and the fact that is waterproof allow me use it while I'm showering without any worries. The customer service is phenomenal, I had an issue when I received my order and they responded my emails within the same hour, I also forgot to cancel my subscription, I contacted them and they gave me a refund and canceled the subscription for me. Overall I like my shaver 4.0, the battery last long. I recommend to give it a try, they have a 30 day money back guarantee that I was planning to use if I dont like it, but I decided to keep it.
