Product Review: Gillette Styler 4-in-1 – My Personal Take

You know what they say — once you find a tool that actually works, you stick with it.

That’s how I feel about the Gillette Styler 4-in-1.

I wasn’t looking for a grooming gadget, to be honest. Just needed something practical to handle underarm shaving without the fuss. But after some comparison, I figured this might just be the one that checks all the boxes.

So, here’s my personal take — not sponsored, not overhyped, just a guy sharing his thoughts after real-world use.

Unboxing & First Feel

Right out of the box, the Gillette Styler looks sleek. Not intimidating. Lightweight enough, yet solid in the hand. It comes with:

* A trimmer body

* 3 comb attachments (for beard lengths)

* 1 ProGlide razor blade

* A battery

* Shower-safe build

Let’s be real — it’s not premium-metal fancy. But it feels reliable, like something you can toss into a travel bag without worrying it’ll break in half.

What I Used It For (And How It Did)

Let’s start with the main goal: underarm grooming.

This is where it surprised me — the trimming was clean, no tugging, and zero irritation. The blade worked well with or without the guard. I didn't go for a bald shave but trimmed short, and it handled that job comfortably.

Then I tested it for a quick neckline cleanup — again, smooth. The trimming head isn’t too wide, which makes it easier to work around contours. I didn’t expect the wet-shave razor head to glide this well, but paired with foam or gel, it was like using a regular Gillette razor — no downgrade there.

Did I use it on my beard?

Nope, not a full beard guy here. But even for mustache and sideburn trimming, it held its ground.

What I Liked Most

• All-in-one practicality – No need to switch between razor and trimmer sets.
• Wet & dry flexibility – Used it in the shower without any drama.
• Battery-powered – No cables, just AA. And battery life? So far, so good.
• Zero cuts – This surprised me, especially around underarms.

 

What Could Be Better

• No charging option – Would be nice to have a USB-rechargeable version.
• Storage – Once unboxed, there’s no pouch or case. I had to improvise to keep all the pieces together.
• Power button placement – Slightly awkward; could be easier to press mid-trim.

But these are nitpicks. For the price point and portability, it’s solid.

RM-wise, Is It Worth It?

I’d say yes — especially if you're not into multiple grooming gadgets. It's one of those "buy once, use often" type of tools. If you’re a minimalist or someone who grooms casually but wants results that don’t scream DIY disaster, it’s a smart pick.

Final Thoughts

The Gillette Styler 4-in-1 isn’t a game-changer — but it’s a life-smoother. It does what it says. No drama. No weird gimmicks. Just clean grooming, especially for someone who wants a fuss-free experience under the arms or around the edges.

Would I recommend it?

Yes. Especially if you’re after that one tool that travels well, trims safely, and shaves clean.
