MicroTouch SwitchBlade

About the Product
From MicroTouch, maker of the leading men’s personal micro-groomer, comes the new Switch- Blade. No ordinary groomer, the SwitchBlade is the world’s first all-in-one, head-to-toe groomer that lets you remove hair anywhere with just one tool.

MicroTouch SwitchBlade
Designed to “switch” from micro-groomer to full-size trimmer with a cock of the head cover, the unit affords the ultimate man-scaping experience. With German steel blades and 4 comb attachments offering 5 levels of trimming, the closeness of the trim is entirely in your hands. Switch- Blade’s micro-trimmer is as efficient as its predecessor, MicroTouch MAX – for ears, nose, neck, eyebrows, and sideburns – while the new full-size trimmer allows “between barbershop” hair trims in addition to full body grooming.

MicroTouch SwitchBlade
MicroTouch SwitchBlade affords the easy, clean, and close hair removal expected from more expensive groomers, and at $19.99 the SwitchBlade can’t be beat. Requires 2 AAA batteries.



My Take on the Product
This product sounded like an interesting one as all guys have some body hair that they have to deal with. Luckily for me, I don't have huge issues, but they are issues none the less. I found with this product that it seemed to work fine with longer hair, but seemed to not cut all of the shorter, finer hair that I tried to get rid of. I did find that it did not rip the hair out, which was good, as for things like nose hair that is a good thing as that can definitely hurt!

I didn't like that it ran on batteries. I would have preferred that it either have an internal rechargable battery or a plug. It also does not come with a case to hold onto the parts, so you have to come up with something else to hold everything together.

So, for the money the product is multi-functional which is a plus and it does a good job at cutting some of the hairs that I had issues with, but it did miss others (I know - picky picky).

Product Review - Philips Norelco Multigroom Pro QG3380

All opinions expressed in this review are my own and not influenced in any way by the company.  Any product claim, statistic, quote or other representation about a product or service should be verified with the manufacturer or provider. Please refer to this site's Disclaimer  for more information. I have been compensated or given a product free of charge, but that does not impact my views or opinions.


About the Product
Philips Norelco has launched a new all-in-one shaving and grooming system for the guy who wants it all and isn’t afraid to experiment with his style. It’s a fact, as reported by NPD, that men’s grooming tools are the largest dollar growth drivers in the overall personal care industry. With this in mind, Philips Norelco has created the versatile Philips Norelco Multigroom Pro, which was designed to eliminate the multi-tool clutter in the bathroom while helping guys get perfectly groomed from head to toe.

The extremely versatile and sleekly designed Philips Norelco MultiGroom Pro features nine attachments for a range of grooming needs including, detail shaving, precision beard and mustache trimming, hair clipping, body grooming and more. The attachments easily twist on and off so men can achieve any look with the simplicity of a single hand. For even more convenience, it’s water resistant for easy use and cleaning and features a turbo boost function for even faster results.


  • 9 attachments for head to toe trimming, including a foil body shaver and comb, hair clipper, full trimmer, detail trimmer, tube nose trimmer, full metal guard, detail foil shaver, beard and mustache comb and stubble comb
  • 8 attachments for head-to-toe trimming, including a foil body shaver and comb, hair clipper, full-metal guard trimmer, detail trimmer, tube nose trimmer, detail foil shaver, beard and mustache comb, and stubble comb
  • 100% waterproof for shower use
  • Rechargeable cordless and corded use; Up to 50 minutes of run time after 1 hour charge

My Take on the Product
This shaver does a great job at keeping my body well groomed and with the large array of attachments this becomes a very multi-functional tool that can be used to aid you in looking your best no matter what the occasion. I mention that this shaver has a ton of pieces and in using it I loved this, but it does take some time and effort to be able to get all of the pieces out of the original packaging so that they can be used in the end. I found that for myself, it was difficult to hold all of the pieces in the plastic case/tray that everything is supposed to fit in. You may wish to find a better way to organize them based on your own organizational style. 

The shaver itself works well and seems to work smoother and faster than other groomers that I have tried in the past. I tried a number of the tools, and have to say that even the nose/ear trimmer works well without the pain or pinching that I was expecting. I also did not get other irritation with using the body groomer on other pasts of my body either which is exactly what I am looking for.
Aesthetically, the device is plastic, which makes me hope that it will hold up for the long run, but so far so good.

The battery charges quickly and within an hour it is at full charge. I liked that the device plugged in directly to the wall so you did not have to worry about batteries, or charging docks. 

All-in-all this is a great trimmer that provides you with the ability to get close easily and gives you a way to stay well groomed carelessly.
