Philips Norelco Bodygroom Replacement Trimmer/Shaver Foil, BG2000/40

The problem is not with the trimmer itself - it works just fine for the whole body. But the heads are impossible to find I na store, and they wear out too quickly. My original head lasted over a year, then replacements- I could still buy them in a store, still expensive, but lasted about a year as well. Now replacements are not available in any store in my area, and the last few ones I've bought online lasted less than 4 months. And the only thing that breaks is the foil itself - falls off. Why do I need to get a whole new head, why can't I just purchase the thin metal foil piece and replace it on the shaver head, in my experience it would trim just fine up until the thin foil piece falls off, so the whole trimmer head is not worn out, just designed to break so you'd have to buy a new one...

BG2038 is all around nice, comfortable to grip, reaches well with its extender... The foils, however are poor. I'm averaging 3 maybe 4 months at most before they wear out. Characteristically you can tell yours is getting ready to start shredding its self by how fast & hot the foil heats up when shaving. The hotter & more quickly it heats up, the sooner it's going to give out. Or you'll notice it feels like your face is getting scratched up even before it develops a rip in the foil.

The bodygroomer is a product but these blades and foils are worthless the foil comes apart about ever 3 months they are cheaply made and you cannot just buy the foil you have to buy the foil and blade together. If you are thinking about buying one of these for yourself or someone else, keep shopping there are better ones out there look at the braun wish I had gotten that one instead.

Gives you a very smooth shaving on legs, armpits, chest and belly without leaving marks on your skin. Won't give you in-grown hair bumbs as when shaving with a razor. Its not intended for use on your face though.

Would you buy a new car -- no matter how good it is -- if cannot buy maintenance items? It seems impossible to get a replacement shaving foil, which Phillips recommends replacing periodically.
