7 Best Waterproof Trimmers, According to a Grooming Editor

# Why waterproof trimmers matter

# How the editor tests

The grooming editor tests beard trimmers, body groomers, and pubic trimmers across real‑world tasks. Two recurring annoyances drive the preference for waterproof models: the hassle of brushing blades after every use and the convenience of trimming in the shower. A waterproof device earns extra credit if it maintains cutting power and doesn't bog down when wet.

# Top picks and what they do well

• Braun Series 9 All‑in‑One Beard Trimmer — Best overall waterproof trimmer. The editor reports it maintains the same cutting speed and precision when wet as when dry. It's built for head‑to‑toe grooming with 10 attachments offering up to 40 length options, a sturdy charging dock, and a hard‑shell travel case. The motor handles dense and longer growth with minimal pulling.

• Philips Norelco OneBlade Face + Body — Best value. A versatile, budget‑friendly tool that functions as a trimmer and a shaver for short beards and body hair. It's praised for replaceable blades and suitability for sensitive skin. The editor notes it won't be ideal for long beards but is a strong multiuse option for about $50.

• Manscaped Beard Hedger — Best waterproof trimmer for travel. Positioned as a travel‑ready option the editor considers when portability matters.

• Panasonic Body Groomer GK80 — Best waterproof body hair trimmer. Recommended specifically for body grooming tasks.

• Gillette i7 Intimate — Best waterproof pubic hair trimmer. Cited as the pick for intimate trimming needs.

• Meridian The Trimmer — Best deal. Flagged as a strong value option on sale in the editor's roundup.

# Practical buying considerations

Choose based on where you'll use the tool and the length/density of your hair. If you plan to groom in the shower and want minimal cleaning, prioritize models explicitly tested for wet performance. If you need one device for face and body, look for versatile attachments and replaceable blades. For travel, prioritize compact kits and sturdy cases.
