DO NOT Buy the Manscaped Lawnmower 4.0 

Brio Beardscape: bit.ly/3Ffdz7Z Manscaped Lawn Mower 4.0: amzn.to/3kZrOoA

One thing I've learned in life is that *_ANY_* product that is heavily advertised is probably crap. If you see an ad for something and go, "Oooh! I gotta have that!" That means you should then go and seek out a competitor's version that's less heavily advertised, and you'll likely get a better quality product.

I was one of the suckers who didn't know I signed up for the hygiene plan. My replacement blades got sent to my parents house, but the package also included ball wipes. My mom sent me a pic of it asking questions. So embarrassing...

Never heard of this guy before, but within the first three minutes I love him. Really genuine, knows his stuff, and isn't trying to force anything. Great stuff.

Here's a little tip for anyone in pretty much every scenario: If the product is being pushed all over the place by influencers, the product probably isn't going to be of great quality. Think of all the money that's being spent on paying these influencers, that's money they're not spending on the actual product. There's a long history of this: Raycon, Helix matrasses, Manscaped, Raid Shadow Legends, ... Edit: Nvm you literally said the same thing about a minute after I wrote this

Honesty is priceless.

He is exactly right about everything he said. When people pitch something to sell it they will sugar coat things to a disgracefully point, all he is doing is calling BS.. respect and thank you sir.

I have the 4.0. I tried it in the shower first time and quickly realized what you said about water and hair is true. So now I use it prior to showering. The light is good a good feature if you need it when trimming "down stairs" at strange angles. It works fine. No complaints. I've had it for a couple years now and it goes ok. Although I havent used the one you recommend nor any other so I dont have any other reference to compare it too. I was duped by their hygiene plan as you referenced, however they refunded it and let me keep the package because it had been dispatched. Good customer service.

Thanks my dude! I bought the Manscaped Lawnmower for my husband last year. It's fine. My old Philips lady trimmer broke recently, so I came to RU-vid for product recs. Your Brio link led me to the Ivy trimmer. Great price so I ordered just now. Fingers crossed!

Lesson learned: If they need a million un-official sponsorships on youtube, it's probably not a very good product.

5:53 While you certainly could be right about the RPM being lower, it could be a marketing thing, the motor itself could be running at 7200 RPM and the actual trimming component may just be geared down to be slower.

Well presented, thumbs up. That said, I just got delivery of one today before seeing this review and being a bit new to this specific type of product. Mine was a special Ebay deal: brand new incl all accessories BUT no box/instructions, neither of which bothered me £50 and everything works as expected ...bargain! So far, all is good, tried it out tentatively on my facial stubble, no guard and it worked just fine, tried it 'down there' earlier again, no guard ...absolutely NO nicks or tugs, though I do have very good manual dexterity and have had quite a lot of practice with much cruder equipment! In anticipation of wear and tear, I also order two replacement blade units (£16). If the battery gives out after a year or two, I'll probably open it up and attempt to put a new one in. Conclusion: I like it.

Very thankful for this, just bought the package a couple days ago and now I went in and canceled the hygiene plan, thank you for the tip

I bought a Lawnmower 4.0 recently and missed the part about the hygiene plan. I just saw this £15 transaction on my card. Credit to their customer support though, they actually refunded the full amount and even let me keep the first hygiene plan as the items had already been dispatched after I requested the refund.

Thank you for saying it when nobody else will. Finally after years of seeing my favorite RU-vidrs advertise for manscaped I bought the 4.0 and you CAN NOT trim down low on the UPA without nicking yourself over and over. You really can’t even trim your face without it nicking your face too. I have a $20 Gillette trimmer that I’ve had for like 3 years that still doesn’t trim great.. but it trims 10X better than this Lawnmower 4.0.

Found this randomly. Why can’t every RU-vidr be like this him. Very honest, straight to the point. Asks to subscribe if you are a beard guy but not otherwise. Left a like for honesty

After getting a $30 charge that I wasn't aware of I watched a manscape video to see exactly what I was involved in and yours followed. Thanks for the info.

Never tried any of their trimmers. Got the Brio initially for my beard and have never had one single issue so no need to try anything else. I’ve also used my Brio for every trim for a year on one charge and the ability to change the power setting is awesome. Overall the Brio was one of the best investments I’ve ever made for any product.

I still remember how they started marketing the manscaped as a "no knick" trimmer at the beginning , but they had to keep coming up with new versions because everyone was getting knicked. lol

Nice. Finally a channel I can get some honest direct information. I just began using a straight razor for shaving and I own the Brio as well. I just found this channel, so I haven't gone thru your videos (yet) to see if you cover straight razors. And using a trimmer in the shower is the most ludicrous thing I can imagine a person can do. Liked and subbed

I love how you tell them what they're doing right and what they can improve on.

You’re an absolute legend sir, was literally about to buy this and every possible optional extra they sell with it until I came across your video! Thank you so much, saved me a hell of a lot of headache!

i saw you last video comparing these two trimmers over a year ago. and because of that video i bought the Brio Beardscape, i charged it 1 time in 1 and 1/2 years. it cuts well its even and nice and heavy and feels great in teh hand and it is by far the best trimmer i have ever used. 10/10 would recommend it.

Thank you man. I almost bought the manscaped 4.0 and was wondering what other options. Just ordered the Brio trimmer 2.0. Much appreciated!

I respect the guy not pestering about "subscribeing" he seems to know his audience well.

As a hobbyist barber ceramic blades are sharper run cooler and last longer then metal so replacing them every 3 months is ridiculous and geared towards the folks that just don’t know any better and they’re marketing is everywhere almost everyone knows that trimmer. Great honest review to follow up on the last one😎

Thanks for the video. Just purchased the latest version of the Brio. I’ve got a reoccurring nightmare of cutting through a vein or the super thin skin “down there” and bleeding out. Praying that this all goes well. 😬

I appreciate the honesty conveyed regarding this product review. Thank you!

Thank you for your videos. I actually bought myself a Beardscape at Christmas based on some of your videos and I'm super impressed with how high quality it is - especially considering I'd never even heard of the brand before seeing your content.

Rule of a thumb: Don't buy anything advertised by content creators.

Thank you so much I just subscribed. I just got the brio I think maybe a newer version but still I have never shaved my eggs with trimmer before because I was scare of injury. Just bought Brio not only a much faster process but no injuries at all southern side is clean and handsome very smooth first experince.

I appreciate your genuine concern & honesty, thank you :)

I'm not at all shocked. It recently occured to me while watching a manscaped promo; that a relatively new and small company pumping massive amounts of money into advertising must be recouping that cost through ludicrous profit margins. Then I paused the video at the cut to the product image and examined it closely, and thought it looked like a piece of junk. Glad to hear that common sense wins true again! Thanks for not being a shill!

Agree with your points for the most part. The Lawn Mower alone IS over priced IMO. I bought the entire performance package when it was 20% off for the price of the just the Lawn Mower. I stand in the shower and trim BEFORE actually showering. Cutting wet hair ANYWHERE on your body is a no no IMO. As far as the hygiene plan. It's a great way to buy a small stockpile of replacement blades/cutter heads for the Lawn Mower and Weed Wacker because your getting two items for the price of one if bought individually. Once you've acquired your desired amount then cancel the plan. I added the plan along with my purchase of the Performance Kit and it allowed me to select how often I received the two items I choose to be shipped to me. There is an option for every 6 months. Select the two items you want or they will send you the stupid stuff eventually... ball mop, hair collection newspaper, etc. Too many people don't read or research. Also, the Lawn Mower comes with 2 adjustable guard choices that are supposed to be used with it. Your NOT supposed to use the trimmer without them and proper "angle of attack" is also required. This is described in the included users guide. People using it improperly might as well use a safety or straight razor to shave their nether region. With that said, I'm not slamming the Brio line of products by any means. I have the Brio Beardscape and it's hands down a superior trimming tool. I just wanted to clear up what I felt were some improperly addressed points concerning the Manscaped Lawn Mower.

Bro you saved me. I was literally a click away from buying and didn’t see the £14.99 bullshit. Thank you sir, you’ve earned a sub and a like. Keep up the good work.

This is the first video I’m watching from your channel and I loved the fact that you don’t compel to subscribe unless you’re a beard guy!! Such a cool video man keep it up :)

Something I realized watching this is that many people just probably didn't know how much shaver tech had evolved because most people don't pay attention to that until theirs breaks, so they(me included) see the fancy features, and don't realize how common they are and how over priced they are on the manscape.

I did look at the Manscaped because of all their marketing when my Philips groomer stopped holding its charge. The marketing jargon and cool photos plus the high price for what it is put me off though. I ended up getting a Braun groomer half price in the black Friday sales. It seems good so far for simple home use. The functionality is more varied then Manscaped and the price was way less. There's no monthly plans and a long guarantee. It is also much better than my old Philips one which was top of the range when I bought it.

Appreciate the insights! It is so awesome to see a youtuber say "dude, you wont like my channel if you are not into beards, so don't subscribe, unless you are that kind of dude" I mean, you softened it up, but it was well done!

Great video. Also great advice on the blade length!

My missus works at a beard and shavers place and she said they stocked manscape for awhile and they had so many complaints they refused to renew the contract and took it off the shelves. She did confirm they spend literally 10s of millions on marketing.

I’m honestly glad that I stumbled upon your channel today because I actually got to learn something new out of choosing the best razors based on quality and pricing, and also the LED light essentially help you to get a much cleaner shave, especially in areas that are dark and hard to see, especially when you’re bathroom has lights that are never bright enough to see whether or not you shaved off the hair. Although helpful, it definitely wouldn’t help me much as I’m pretty much as blind as a bat (not joking either, without my glasses, I can’t even read large bold text and signs, and to top it all off, whenever I look at an eye chart without my glasses, the chart literally looks as though it is just a blank white sheet of laminated paper, and not even the “old man squint” works to help these 21 year old eyes to read the boldest of signs) but anyways, overall, the light helps to see those remaining little almost invisible stubborn wisps or patches of hair that you somehow ended up missing, due to the darn razor gliding completely over the hair and yet it *STILL* proceeds to not cut a single one of the stubborn survivors, and it’s honestly so much worse than it has to be, due to my current blindness. So yeah, thank you for the insightful information about this topic! Hope you have a great rest of your day!

Your honesty and how much you told me not to subscribe made me do it. Even though I have a beard if I didn’t I’d still sub. Great channel man

I’m glad I saw your video I was just getting ready to purchase the 4.0 and I decided to do some research since I already have the 1.0 I was like okay I’m ready for the upgrade but I said let me check some videos out and I glad I did thanks for the info 🙏🏼

Thanks for the heads up my man. Was about to fall for the marketing hype, but opted for the Beardscape Beard and Body Trimmer V1 instead. 👍🏾

You know I was actually thinking about getting the manscaped one but I wanted to look up reviews before I bought one, because I see so many sponsored youtubers but absolutely nobody talking about how good it actually is. This is a great video!

I would like to say thank you. I am one of those people that took the "cheap" option and didnt read the small text. Because of this video i manage to cancel it before any second package got sent. Thank you

Dude, thank you so much for this video. I was about to buy a manscaped trimmer. Just bought the one you recommended on the video. Thanks a lot

I’ve had the Brio Beardscape for probably years now. One of the best investments I’ve ever made. Not once even replaced the blades and they still cut like a hot butter knife (take care of them though with oil and such). I trim everything. If I want to go hairless, use the Zero blade to trim down first. Use the ceramic blade for my groin area. Use the Zero blade and attachments on my facial hair. It really is do-it-all and one of my favorite purchases of all time. I actually believe it might’ve been a video that I’ve seen from you years back that pushed me to buy it (although I had heard of it before that). I was pretty young then and looking back I’m glad I was instilled at a young age to always look for other products (this just came into play recently when I was purchasing a conditioner to help with my thinning hair/receding hairline… yes at 18 too lol, and it isn’t a new issue. Found one with the exact same ingredients I needed at half the price, absolutely love it). Just take a bit to look for what you need people, don’t buy into marketing. With online purchases and such, I always do my research and watch reviews from people who aren’t sponsored. Bit different when in-store but more or less the same, sometimes do a little research on the spot and I typically know what I’m generally looking for before making a purchase.

Couldn't agree more. I had the Lawn Mower 4.0 and the battery life out of the box was no more than 30 minutes (they advertise 90). Within 6 months the battery had MAYBE 5 minutes of usage before dying. They claim to have an over-charge protection circuit built in, but every time I picked it up off the charger it was very hot to the touch, which made me think it wasn't working. I just contacted them (outside of their 90 day warranty), so we'll see what they decide to do. I've had it less than six months.

Thank you for this video! I was going to buy my husband a handful of manscaped products for Father’s Day because he heard about the company on TikTok of all places. Something just didn’t quite feel right so I started researching. Came across your video and am thankful. I’m going to go a different route for him. He also has become beard obsessed (beard care is new for him). I subscribed because I have a feeling I can learn a lot and get some great gift ideas from you and the men who comment on your videos. Thanks for taking the guess work out of shopping for a man!

Thank u for this video, the comparison to raycon is so on point. I really enjoyed this vid cause i use manscape because of marketing mostly & at the time there wasnt much geared towards manscaping at the time & i got tired of using cheap store brought clippers in my stuff. i will def purchase the brio & hopefully have a better experience. Also i was one of the ones that tried it in the shower, for testing purposes, & its def harder to trim like that & i def nicked myself a couple times smdh, cost of testing lol.

I have had the 3.0 for like 3 years. I use to use it in the shower and it always nicked me. I stopped using in the shower and it still nicks me. I’ve been convinced that manscape sucks and you just validated my belief.

Hey, thank you so much for this video. I am a woman and I don't understand much about trimmers (never needed to), but this was very educational on one side and honest on the other. I only clicked because I see this product advertised everywhere and wanted to see any criticism it might warrant I got that and more. Your beard rocks!

I’ve had a cheap Phillips one that I used for everything including hair, beard and pubes for about 7 years, now it has gotten weak so I got another Philips, series 5000 on offer on Amazon for less than £40, it is a big step up from what I had, mostly because they increased their quality overall, the head and blade are easier to clean and and made of better materials, unlike this manscaped, they invest into making their stuff always better. I trust Philips for trimmers

Super info, many thanks 🙌🏾 Was getting ready to purchase the MnSkD ‘til I saw your wonderful review 👍🏾… Keep America beautiful, stay trimmed 😊

Awesome video Scuba! 💯

I have the Brio beardscape. I’ve had it for years. Best trimmer around.

A lot of what you say is true, but owning a few things I will say that I personally have never nicked myself with it. I think you shouldn't shave in the shower because a bigger issue is if you don't trim regularly you can potentially clog your drain and/or rust the blades easier. Another "benefit" is you can get it for a little cheaper with the promo codes they constantly push out to get people to buy it. The light does actually "work" having the light shine against the hairs makes them stand out a bit more so you don't miss a hair as much but really overhyped and not really necessary.

Thank you!! Nice video, great personality!! And perfect explanation!!

Thanks for the honesty man. That's rare to see these days.

Decided to order a Brio. Thanks for the information. I was close to buying a Mower. Update: Used it for the first time for manscaping. Ended up cutting myself somehow. 🤔 Otherwise it did pretty well in other areas 'down there'

Hi BeardTube, got recommended your video for a while and thought I'd check it out. I was always considering getting the Lawnmower 3.0, and more recently the 4.0, but having seen this I think I'll steer clear. My beard trimmer seems to work well for my nether regions (a few nicks every now and then isn't too bad 😄) A great introduction to your channel, been growing my beard out as of late so I'm always in the business of getting to look decent!

You the man, I’m glad I seen this video and will be taking your word for it. I suppose better products speak for themselves and don’t need people to advertise them

YOUR A LEGEND!! Thanks to you i cancelled my Peak Hygiene Plan... i know i was irresponsible for not reading everything but at least your video saved me up some money , besides that great video and keep it up.

He makes a lot of good points. I have the lawnmower 4.0 and love it. Also Manscapped does try to sell you hard on the subscription when you buy it. It was annoying. The battery is plenty on the lawnmower 4.0. Every time I use it, it only goes down one bar. I've never cut myself and yes, do not use in the shower. I never tried but knew that is a dumb idea because of the hair being wet. Also the it comes with 2 attachment lengths. The bigger one sucks. The smaller one is good. Overall I give it a 8/10 so far over the past 7 months.

I picked up the brio from watching your last video and I’ve got to say it’s amazing, I’ve had it for nearly a year and I’ve charged it once! I have also never cut myself using it.

Been considering getting one. Glad I watched this first. Also... nice beard game bro. Despite my picture from years ago. Rocking a 7-9" long beard right now

I had found your video after buying one. I didn't know i had signed up for the plan (totally missed the prompt), i don't even remember making a password for the site, yet i received an email about being on a plan. Had to make an account to cancel it. Pretty sneaky of them I'll see how the shaver goes but will keep this video in mind for the other product. cheers for the video.

Honestly I never bought it because I saw your first video on mandscapped. This razor for 84$ is wild. I bought a Gillette styler on Amazon for 17$ and it cleans me up really well. I use the electic shave to get down to the sub, and then put on the blade razor to get that smoothness. Works for me

I'm very glad to came across this review video; I've been waiting for the moment to buy one and now I'm glad to not only be steered away from the over hyped reputation of Manscaped but also recommended a better, less expensive option as well. I appreciate you taking the time to give out that PSA to all of the unknowing. 👍🏾

Your honesty, man. Appreciate it. Thanks.

Thank you so much for your review, was looking for a good trimmer

I use my Lawnmower 4.0 in the shower and it works fine. Granted, I am not using the guard on the default trimmer, I use the 1mm guard, which helps pull up the hair to get trimmed even when I'm wet. I only nicked myself once and it was when I was trying to cut at a 90 degree angle before I started using the 1mm guard, something I knew I shouldn't be doing. So, it seems to work well and as advertised FOR ME. I emphasize that because I do not have very thick body hair as some other people might and it doesn't grow as fast as other guys, so this might just work well for my situation. Overall, the lawnmower 4.0 works perfectly well for me, plus the ball deodorant is great, or at least I really like it. So, I feel I've gotten what I needed from it. That, plus the LED works well for me because the lighting in my shower is kinda crap and I'm black. I need the extra light to see what I'm doing down there. Lol

I appreciate your honesty in this video. However, I just bought the 4.0 for me and my husband (separate trimmers) and I tried it for the first time and I was absolutely blown away. But this is probably due to the completely underwhelming options for female trimmers... I've had quite a few female marketed trimmers and they are all just absolutely terrible. So when I tried this trimmer and it cleaned everything up I'm a single swipe without having to go back over everything 20 times it 100% made me feel confident about my purchase. I will say though, I used it with the guard because I am forever scared of nicking my lady bits, and I was slightly disappointed that it doesn't glide over the skin very easy. Didn't nick myself and maybe I was being too cautious, I was very aware of how I was holding it, making sure the back was level with my skin and not going in the way I wanted to and holding it at those right angles. But it was kind of hard to keep an even pace with the thing because I felt like the back of the trimmer wasn't slick enough...like pulling something rubber over your skin and it kinda sticks and jumps as you pull it along. But still, it took 2 minutes to completely trim everything and I've never had a trimmer half as good as this one.

Couldn't agree with you more. Bought the nose hair trimmer..... Inferior in every way to my 15 yr old (regular battery operated) conair nose trimmer. They have an outstanding marketing team. Too bad they do not live up to the hype. Thanks for posting this honest review! I hope they take your comments to heart and improve the product based on your and other customer feedback.

How refreshing - "I'm not going to ask you to subscribe" - I don't have a beard so I won't but your frank honesty almost made me subscribe. Thanks for this vid cos I've been looking at these devices too and they're damn expensive in my currency.

best thing abrout brio is that i have never seen a paid promotion by them on youtube. always authentic reactions and review.

I feel like this is a good review. Mostly I am here because RU-vid recommended your video to me. I can't figure out why but I gave you a thumbs up and now I'm a bit more educated on ball trimmers. My guy friends are going to be traumatized lol

Appreciate the content and perspective. Personally I've use the manscape in the shower and out didn't really have issues. Though I will go out on the limb and say I'm not the hairiest guy so my needs are pretty simple. I bypassed the whole website ordeal they sell them at Target that's where I got mine. But whatever battery life the manscaped has always worked for me.

Brother. Thank you being honest. I have actually changed my mind about buying the performance package 4.0

I’m so glad I came across this video. I had the manscaped and honestly thought it sucked. I purchased this Brio brand you recommended and took it for a test drive today. By far the best trimmer for the downstairs mixup I have ever used. No nicks or nothin. 5 stars ✨

Meanwhile, I'm using a cheap trimmer for my forest of thick and curly hair and doing just fine. Rarely do I get a nick, it's usually it's my fault too. I appreciate you calling out the sugarcoating and lies while offering a better alternative. You got my like.

I looked at the reviews on Amazon for this thing. There were faar too many reports of blood. I realised that I'm quite happy with a regular clippers and a steady hand

Very helpful! I’m 20 years old and I’ve been shaving in the shower since I started shaving so thank you for the tip I didn’t realize that lol

Yea man I got some regular ones from Walmart for like $30. Works amazing

I own a manscape lawn mower 3.0 and it's my first electric razor so i dont have much to compare on, however i've liked it for the most part especially as just a beard trimmer. Gets a close shave, comes with guards, and i like its sleek design. as a ball trimmer though, I learned pretty early though that using it in the shower actually sucks imo, however even outside of one it does seem to knick me often for being skin safe technology, like every 1 out of 4-5 shaves. I dont go crazy or anything, i just trim just under and opposite the direction of the hair, i dont push it hard into my skin or anything yet it still manages to grab and knick my skin. Its more annoying than painful or anything else really. However one issue reoccurs more often and idk if other people also experience it, but when im trimming without a guard, the metal tongs will literally poke and stick inside of the hair pore. it can hurt a bit sometime but moreso i think it causes the shave bumps even ingrown hairs sometimes which can be worse imo. I still oddly like it though im kind of getting fed up with that particular issue so im thinking of buying a new one. Thank you for a great recommendation btw.

Wow. I was considering buying the Manscaped 4.0 and now I'm thankfull i didn't. Lots of advertising instead of actually delivering a good Product. The Beardscape seems amazing tho, probably gonna buy that! Great Video!

this guy is amazing, thank you for your honesty and sharing your information about this products so much!!.

Use mine in the shower all the time and never had a problem. Never cut myself or anything. My only comparison is cheap trimmers so I can't compare to the ones you recommend but I have absolutely no complaints.

Never mow your lawn in the rain. Same concept. Pretty good review tho. I got the manscaped trimmer yesterday because it looks sleek, small and easy to use and I was right. I never cared for the rpms or battery life because it’s something I won’t use too often.

Thank you for the recommendations. 👍🏻

Great review! Thanks for the info

Never bought into the Manscaped stuff. Always had my reservations about it. Glad I didn't. 👍🏻thanks for the info. Also, I'm a beard guy and I'm just finding your channel! Wtf RU-vid!? Subbed

My $12 Amazon trimmer has served me right for the past 3 or so years... got knicked a few times early on but you get used to maneuvering the thing and it’s really rare. Only problem I have with it is it gets really hot so I have to space out regions. All in all, I’d give it a Not Manscaped out of 10

Thanks for the honest review. Raycon indeed got me, and I regretted that purchase. They suck, but now I'm stuck with them. Not gonna happen again

i did not subscribe to the channel because im not into beard content (i dont even have a beard lol), but just leaving a comment for engagement. such a nice guy, really liked the style of the video and he looked very sincere. wish you the best man!

Have the lawnmower 3 and the new brio. Brio is by far superior product. Lawnmower works well. I have nicked myself with the skin safe tech blade lol. Led light is pointless. Brio is cheaper for a superior trimmer. Multifunctional. Also got a promotion to get the zero gap head attachment for free. Great video.

I bought a Wahl beardtrimmer kit on sale that comes with a whole bunch of different guards. I even use it at 90 degrees at some spots on my neck when lining my beard and not once has it ever nicked me and it gets a really nice close shave. My only complaint is one of the guards which has an adjustable length selector on it I can't get it to clip onto the trimmer. I've probably just missed something in the manual though so just consider that user error lol.

Dude… thank you. I was gonna buy the manscaped but I always look up a product before buying it (especially when it’s a decent amount) and now am going to buy the brio ALSO your channel is exactly what I need beard care 101 lol
