THE POINT OF a grooming tool is to make your routine easier. That’s why we're always excited about multi-functional gadgets that not only simplify your grooming, but also tackle more than one job so you can minimize the number of devices (and cords) you have in your bathroom cabinet. Enter: The Braun All-In-One Series 7, a well-designed, easy-to-use multifunctional tool that’s able to tackle trimming, shaving, and grooming every hair on your body from the top of your head to the tips of your toes.

The Series 7 comes with eight versatile attachments for personalized trimming across various body areas, and its built-in adjustment wheel boasts an impressive 40-length settings. This feature reduces the necessity for extra attachments and enables you to precisely customize your appearance.

In addition to its impressive wet/dry cutting functionality, the Braun All-In-One trimmer boasts AutoSense technology that automatically calibrates the cutting power based on hair thickness. Its ProBlade blades are both sharp and gentle, ensuring a smooth experience, while the thoughtfully designed travel case adds to its convenience. This trimmer delivers exceptional performance that feels premium without the hefty price tag. While there are some drawbacks that may become more noticeable depending on your usage, the advantages far surpass any disadvantages.

As a grooming editor, I’ve spent a lot of time testing just about every groomer, trimmer, and shaver you can imagine and I found the Braun All-In-One to be a great option for anyone who wants to simplify their routine and keep things streamlined. It’s powerful enough to tackle most grooming jobs put in front of it, and the wealth of attachments make it that much easier. Seasoned groomers, or those with more complicated routines, may find it lacking in some areas, but I believe that for the price, it’s one of the best out there—which is why we have named it the best body grooming kit.

Design and Characteristics

The best thing about the design of the Braun All-In-One Series 7 is how simple it is. The body of the trimmer is sleek and easy to hold. Plus, instead of a ton of buttons, there is only a single power button which helps the overall simplicity of the casing. The focal point, however, is the built-in wheel which allows you to adjust length settings easily and quickly without switching attachments.

The wheel features its largest numbers ranging from 0.5 to 10 when the shortest guard is in use, while the longer guard corresponds to the second set of numbers from 11 to 20. For those keeping track, the advertised 40 settings are accessible since you can adjust the guard to half settings (such as 2.5) for enhanced personalization. The casing is lightweight, avoiding a cheap feel, although it may come across as somewhat fragile in comparison to more expensive models crafted from different materials, which impacts the razor's overall durability. Additionally, unlike many other brands, this one does not reveal the motor's power, which typically suggests that it may lack the strength to draw attention.

With that in mind, I've discovered that it has the capability to effectively manage all the hair on my body (thanks to the AutoSense technology that modifies the blade speed based on hair thickness). Nonetheless, despite its impressive battery life, attempting a complete head-to-toe trim in one go proved to be a challenge for this device. I recommend allowing it some downtime or splitting your grooming tasks across multiple days.

The attached accessories are a great addition, enhancing the versatility of this all-in-one tool. The two different length combs are specifically crafted for trimming both hair and beard, and they pair nicely with the adjustable wheel. While I doubt many will opt for the longer comb for body grooming, the shorter one can be effective for those seeking a longer style.

The only dedicated body attachment is a separate blade, which cuts hair to the skin and is ideal to prevent cross-contamination, but leaves a bit of stubble. While there is a foil detail shaver attachment, it’s too small to be used to truly shave your body. It would be great if there was a larger foil shaver attachment for the body for those who like a smooth finish. Other attachments like the detail trimmer and ear/nose hair trimmer are solid and work well, and there is even a separate T-blade for lineups, which is a thoughtful addition to the selection of attachments. To round out the offerings, two fade guards are included.

I'm pleased to observe that this tool includes a travel case designed to accommodate all the attachments, a practical feature that not every trimmer offers. Having the device and all its accessories stored together is beneficial not only for travel purposes but also for daily organization. However, it's worth mentioning that the charging cord requires a bit of effort to fit into the case, as there isn’t a designated spot for it, though it does manage to fit.

Efficacy

Even though the brand does not disclose the power of the motor, if there is one thing you can count on from Braun, it’s a great cutting experience and the All-In-One is no exception. Compared to similarly priced trimmers I’ve used, this one delivers a superb cut all around. Between the AutoSense technology and the sharp yet gentle ProBlade technology, I found that this trimmer cut through all of my hair with ease, no matter if I was trimming my hair, mustache, or body.

Personally, I feel that this trimmer is more of a body groomer or beard trimmer that you can use on your head versus the other way around. What I mean by that is, unlike some trimmers that are inspired by professional tools, this one feels more like a body groomer than a barber tool. Even without a foil shaver attachment, I like the finish it delivered on my body whether I was using the attachments or not. It didn’t pull my hair and I felt comfortable using it in more sensitive areas.

I also found it effective for trimming my mustache, and it performed admirably. I appreciate that it offers both detail trimmer and shaver settings, allowing me to maintain my mustache without the hassle of changing tools. Based on its ease of use on my mustache, I can only assume it would be just as efficient for trimming a full beard.

Using it on my head was … fine. The length attachment fit well on the device and I didn’t have any issues, though the attachment itself is a little flimsy so I can see how it may be more difficult to use on a longer length. My hair is very short and I usually have a full buzz, which is just about the easiest at-home cut you can give yourself. I found that the blades cut well on my head and I didn’t need to go over the same areas more than I do with other trimmers to get a smooth, even finish.

That being said, I'm not completely persuaded that this will excel with more intricate styles. The fade attachments appear to function adequately, but they are relatively slim compared to other options I've tried, which means they may not deliver significant results. Additionally, considering the way the length guards are designed, employing them on longer settings might demand a bit more skill and potentially necessitate going over the same spots several times.

Taking all of that into consideration, I believe the best use case for the Braun All-In-One is as a body groomer or beard trimmer that you occasionally utilize for head maintenance, such as for quick touch-ups between visits to the barber.

Worth

Currently on sale for $76 at publication time (typically retails for just under $100), the Braun All-In-One trimmer sits right in the middle of the market and definitely feels that way. It’s less durable than pricier models and lacks some features of its luxury counterparts, but the thoughtfulness of the design and the fact that you can use it for so many things sets it apart from other similarly priced models I’ve tried. It performs slightly better than some other comparably priced tools I’ve used, too, and certainly better than cheaper ones. Weighing the price against the performance and possibilities this trimmer offers, it’s a solid investment that feels more expensive than it actually is.

Ways to Clean

Since the Braun All-In-One is fully waterproof, cleaning it is easy: You just run it under the tap. The brand recommends doing this after every use. If a deeper clean is required, you can detach the head from the base and rinse both under the water, using a bit of liquid soap if so desired (cleaning solution and blade oil are not included). I found that rinsing it under the faucet after every use is more than sufficient to keep the device clean.

Final Decision

Despite some shortcomings, the Braun All-In-One Series 7 trimmer stands out as a well-crafted and efficient grooming tool for comprehensive body care at its price range. The various attachments and built-in features lend it an air of premium quality, while its versatility for use on different body areas sets it apart from competitors. As with many trimmers in this price bracket, some durability concerns and cutting performance issues may arise, and this model is no exception. Nonetheless, I would feel assured using this trimmer for all my grooming tasks. From a cost-per-use angle, the Braun All-In-One proves to be a worthwhile investment.
