This review will compare the benefits and disadvantages of the Remington BHT-2000 and the Norelco Bodygroom for shaving the groin.I purchased the Bodygroom earlier this year and have a review of it on Amazon from around the first or second week of February.
To begin, I find the Remington to be more solidly built than the Bodygroom. Plus, the Remington's smaller design makes it easier to maneuver around the groin area than the Bodygroom for trimming that area.Advantage: Remington.
Secondly, I find the trimming capability of the Remington to be better than the Bodygroom.What I don't like about the Norelco is that is comes with flimsy detachable heads to use for trimming.I like how the Remington has a dial-type head (similar to what you see in most beard trimmers) in which you can choose from 5 setting for hair trimming.Advantage: Remington
Thirdly, I found the shaving capability of the Remington to be quite poor compared to the Norelco.For either unit, it is recommended to trim the hair to the lowest setting before attempting to shave using the foil head.If you don't trim the hair first to as short as possible, the shaving head on each unit will not be able to shave the hair properly.Getting back to the review...the Remington dual head shaver attachment is unsatisfactory.It does not shave as close as the Norelco foil head, nor is it as irritation free as the Norelco foil head.I used the foil head on the Remington as gently as possible on both my testicles and part of the shaft, and I felt a stinging razor burn on two separate occasions.Eee-yowch. This did not happen with the Norelco Bodygroom.Advantage: Norelco.
I would recommend that if you plan to simply trim your groin area, then your best bet is to go with the Remington as it is the better trimmer.If your desire is to shave your groin area as smooth as possible with an electric instrument, than your best bet is to go with the Norelco Bodygroom as it is the better shaver.Please understand, however,that even with the Norelco being used as a shaver, you will not experience a shave as close as you would by using a blade.
Based on my experience, I find trimming the groin area to be the way to go instead of shaving the area.In order to keep the groin region hair free, you would have to shave that area every day.I find I can get by with trimming that area to a very short length once a week to keep it rather well maintained.

I've had this razor for traveling for about 1.5 years. So far its very good even compared to my Norelco 9190XL which is a much expensive razor. The norelco sometimes pulls while the remington cuts really close and even long beard is notpulled. Nice surprise from Remigton as I was quite exceptic about the quality when I got it and now I am keeping it and thinking on replacing the Norelco!!
