Phones and tablets are not the only devices that are getting smarter, faster, and more advanced these days. According to a new study, a Men’s Grooming Consumer Report conducted by The NPD Group, Inc., a leading market research company, over 9 in 10 men (ages 18+) are using some sort of grooming product today. With new products on the market, it can easily get overwhelming on which products to buy, and which are the best. Similar to buying a new phone, car, or TV, you have to do your research. My best bet…Amazon user reviews. With thousands of reviews on every product, the reviews can be your guide to choosing the proper “manscaper” or trimmer. Check out my top 5 tech man-grooming products from face, hair, beard, teeth, and body to make sure you are looking silky smooth. Enjoy!

Teeth:
The toothbrush has seen plenty of advancements over the years. From improved designs and faster motors, to attachments and whitening. The new DiamondClean from Sonicare (Philips) is truly a work of art. This baby is the MacBook Airs of tooth brushes which is said to whiten teeth 2X better than a manual toothbrush. It features 5 modes, 31k brush strokes per second, smarttimer and quadpacer, slim ergonomic design. HX9382/05 DiamondClean $195
Beard:
Although the new iStubble trimmer from Conair may sound like an Apple product, this techno trimmer is built just like a product coming from Cupertino. The GMT900 iStubble Trimmer features an electronic motorized length control system which is so cool. You can digitally dial in the length setting via the LCD and watch the head move into position like a Droid from Star Wars. With 15 settings, ergonomic design, and dual battery system, the iStubble for me is the world best trimmer. iStubble $40
Face:
We all know that the rugged scruff look is cool, but at times a clean shave is just needed. Philips bring the SensoTouch 3D to the plate with the new 1290x model. First off this thing just looks cool. It feels like you are holding a phazer gun from Star Trek or something. The 3D brings 3 dimensional contouring to the face which give a closer shave with less strokes. Other features of the 1290x are: Works wet or dry, touch screen display, cordless, pop-up trimmer, GyroFlex 3D face, Li-Ion battery with charging stand. Philips 1290X $240
Body:
For all those manscapers out there it is time to rejoice. Gone are the days when you needed 4-5 buzzers to trim every little (or big) detail on your entire body. The new BG2040/34 Bodygroom Pro from who other Philips Norelco (starting to sound like a promo for these guys!) is the do-it-all tool for all your body grooming needs. The BGP features dual heads for trimming and close shaves all in one unit. The 3D pivoting head provides safety and closeness when shaving sensitive areas too. It also provides 50 minutes of cordless use with an 8-hour charge for all you gorillas out there. Best of all it can be used in the shower as well.
