Panasonic ER-GK80-S
All-Over Body Hair Trimmer
Uniquely designed for all-over body grooming, the Panasonic ER-GK80-S uses round-edge blades and a V-shaped head to gently groom body, smoothly trimming your most sensitive skin and glide around every curve with ease – even in hard-to-reach areas like groin, bikini and buttocks.
Designed for All-Over Grooming
Trimmer design makes body grooming simple, from back & legs to a full Brazilian. V-shaped head is nimble in narrow places and body is easy to control.
Skin Protective Blade Tech
Round-edge blades have a unique design to help minimize skin irritation and trim as close as 0.1mm, for a smooth, shave-like experience.
Safely Trim in Sensitive Areas
Skingaurd attachment protects skin, letting you trim as close as 2mm to shape hair in groin or bikini area, or maintain short hair in other areas.
Adjustable Comb Attachment
Uniformly trim thicker body hair. Built-in dial lets you easily and quickly adjust trimming lengths from 3 to 12 mm.
Smoother Shaving with Power Motor
Powerful trimmer motor can cut 5,300 hairs per second, gliding through even thick hair with ease. Motor ensures hair is cut quicly and cleanly, without tugging or pulling.
Multi-Directional Shaving
Trim backwards, or forwards. Unlike other trimmers that can only cut in one direction, the ER-GK80-S cuts in both directions, allowing you to trim more quickly and tailor cutting to match your needs.
Easy to Clean and Maintain
Simply rinse under warm running water for easy maintenance. Replace blades (WER9500) every 24 months to ensure peak performance.
Waterproof Wet/Dry Versatility
IPX7-rated, use in or out of the shower, with or without foam.
Where on the body can this product be used?
The GK80 can be used anywhere on the body: armpits, back, chest, legs, buttocks, bikini area and groin. Its two trimmer attachments let you custom-tailor your trimming experience to the body part you want, and the hair length you desire.
Could I use the Body Trimmer without the included attachments?
The GK80 can be used on armpits, back, chest, and legs without attachments, but needs the skinguard attachment when it is used for private areas such as the groin and buttocks.
I am concerned about using this product on the delicate skin of the groin and bikini area.
A powerful motor ensures the GK80 only needs light pressure. Skin Protective Blade Technology holds skin in place while gently trimming with round-edge blades, while a skinguard attachment enables safe cutting of soft skin.
How close to the skin will this trimmer cut?
You can remove hair completely or use the adjustable length trim dial on the comb attachment to adjust hair length from 3 to 12 mm - great for keeping length on legs, arms or bikini area.
How long is this trimmer covered by the manufacturer for repair or exchange?
The GK80 is covered by Panasonic for 2 years. If you experience an issue reach out to us via Live Chat to exchange. To keep your trimmer in peak performance, replace blade every 3 years or when dull. Find replacement blade (WER9500P) on Amazon.

Customers are mixed about the quality of the body hair trimmer. Some mention that it's amazing, the best body shaver they've ever used, and does a great job as a chest hair trim.

Customers are mixed about the battery life of the electric shaver. Some mention that it has good battery life, while others say that it doesn't last long. The battery is NiMH instead of Li-ion, and the charger and cord do not fit in the carrying case. The blade is not that big, and it can be used for all body hair, arms, legs, and even the face. The charger and cable are awkwardly shaped, and 20 hours to charge. The case does not fit the wall charger, and there is a tiny nick when testing the limits of the device.
"...Start with the battery. It's NiMH, not lithium ion. Ancient tech, lower capacity. Takes ages to charge. I thought we were done with this...." Read more
"...The battery lasts for a long time. I think my first session took at least 40 minutes, doing my whole body, and the battery had not died yet...." Read more

"...Bad: 20 hours to charge, small case which doesn't fit the wall charger, the trimmer attachment doesn't work well.ER-GK60-S..." Read more
Customers are mixed about the value of the electric shaver. Some mention it's worth the money and has amazing quality for the price, while others say it'll break easily and is an expensive disposable item. The blades are flimsy and thin, making it easy for them to break. The included travel bag is pretty cheap feeling and barely above a ziplock bag as far as quality goes.

"...however, if this fixes the issue I’d say this trimmer is worth the money" Read more
Customers are mixed about the charging of the electric shaver. Some mention that it charges quickly, while others say that it takes forever to charge and the charge doesn't even hold.

For the record: I'm a white male with at best described "fine" to medium body hair, so your results may vary if you have very coarse, thick hair.
The box has two guards in addition to the standard guard. If you're coming from the Body Groomer like me, the initial silver guard runs a trimming length more or less the same length as if you were running guard free on the "trimmer" side, but with the benefit of having an actual guard on it, which is helpful if you've ever taken a chunk of your skin with the Philips unit. The teeth on the Panasonic trimmer are much much finer than the BodyGroomer, so guard free trimming will get pretty close to a smooth shave, but more on that later.
I found it worked best on the neck and below. Using the guard end on my upper lip/face was rather disconcerting, but it might just be a personal feeling kind of thing. Doing my chest/groin/the few shoulder hairs/armpits was fine, if much easier because of the guard on it, and the ergonomics felt better. Trimming my arm hair (I don't really do it that often, but felt like testing the trimmer out) was more of a long winded chore like any other trimmer of this type, but I found I didn't have to go back and forth over the same spot so much as I did with the Philips, even when new. Doing my legs (bike racer here) with the narrow head though, was a long process, and it'd be faster honestly if you just stuck with a razor.
On a side note, I really liked the fact the trimmer charger was part of a plug stand instead of having an ugly cable with a barrel connector, which cuts down the bathroom cabinet clutter.
I don't particularly like lubricating the blade. I know any good trimmer requires proper lubrication for good cutting, but coming from 10+ years on the body groomers with no need for lubrication makes disassembly and reassembly sort of feel odd. Some angles get a little awkward with the toothbrush angle versus the straight style. The included travel bag is pretty cheap feeling and barely above a ziplock bag as far as quality goes.
Long term support/battery life is yet to be determined, but I'm pretty much convinced by the quality it cuts.
Nice job, Panasonic!
Top reviews from other countries
-It is slightly easier and quicker to use on body hair compared to traditionally designed and oriented hair clippers (remember this trimmer is designed for body hair and will not work for cutting or shaving head hair.)
CONS:- I was hesitant to buy this at first as many other comments on here showed that the blade was fragile and would break easily. And after opening it is true that the blade and its teeth are very small and thin, as shown in one of my attached photos with this product next to my old $30 Philips hair clippers, where the blade teeth are multiple times the size and much more robust.
-The worst part about the design with this fragile blade is that it must be pushed on directly with force to remove it for cleaning the hair out and oiling, and the instruction manual suggests cleaning and oiling with every use. I believe this is how most people have broken this fragile blade. The red area I have circled in one of the attached photos shows the small blade area that must be pushed on with force to remove it, there is none of the black plastic to push on to remove the blade that is all part of the main body of the trimmer, only the circled metal part can be pushed on. I have also attached photos of the instruction manual explaining how to remove the blade. In one section it says “It is no problem when touch the blade by fingers (sic)”(broken English in an instruction manual is never a good sign) and then in another section of the instruction manual as shown in the photos it says “Do not forcefully press the blade.” Confusing information. And when I tried it does feel as though pieces/teeth will break off the blade when pushed against, so I am still uncertain as to how I am ever going to remove the blade for cleaning and oiling.
-The trimmer does not come with a charging stand or anything to charge it on, only a cable.
-The trimmer cannot be used when plugged in. This means that when the internal battery dies this item will become useless. And the battery life is not good, it is written in the instruction manual that if charged and used once a month it will last 3 years (this is in one of the attached photos as well). Panasonic says that a full battery lasts for 50mins of use. That equals to around 30-35 hours of use from this trimmer from brand new to the internal battery dying and then the whole trimmer needing to be thrown away. I think I remember reading somewhere that this trimmer does not have a lithium ion battery, but I’m not sure if that is correct. If it does not have one, it should for this price range.
The way this trimmer is designed with the orientation of the blade head is unique, and there are no other competitors with this design that I can find online. I believe this is what has allowed this trimmer to be designed with a limited lifespan with the blade and battery, as there is no other competition for a trimmer of this kind. This product may very well be a good example of planned obsolescence.

When I tried to return it, I was only given the option to return it via my own means (as opposed to it getting picked up) and wasn't able to because it contains a lithium battery which Singapore Post did not accept for shipping. Using a courier would have meant paying much more than the 30 dollars amazon would have reimbursed. As a result, I ended up not returning the product and losing the money I paid it. Needless to say, I am extremely disappointed!
