Bakblade 1.0 Back Shavers Men, Hair Removal Body Shaver (DIY) - Extra-Long Handle Trimmer, Wet Dry Shave

I wasn’t planning on writing a review but this thing serious impressed me. I had a bodybroom electric before than sorta works but this is 1000 times faster, easier, and pain free.

Its important to note that I am hairy. Not just a patch of hair near my shoulder blades or at the base of my back. I am hairy, all over my back from shoulder to shoulder from neck to buttocks... I have tried almost every product on the market to get rid of my back hair including getting my back waxed on a semi-regular basis. The back waxing gave me a nice smooth back but left me with "backne" and grew back to quick to justify the time and money spent on the service. I've tried using a regular razor both with and without the Razorba. I've even attached an electric trimmer to the Razorba with rubber bands and duct tape to try to speed up the hair removal process. All of these techniques have worked but have come at some type of cost like expense, time or discomfort.I was doing my regular research and ran across the backSPA. It looked weird. But it also looked like it may work (remember the duct tape and Razorba, i will obviously try anything). So i hit the buy now button and bought it through Amazon. I do have one ding and that is that the backSPA is not eligible for Prime members. I love my Prime membership so sometimes when I don't see a product qualifies it will give me pause. I decided to buy anyway and I am forever glad i did. The seller, Chris, reached out to me letting me know that an updated model was about to ship and offered me the option of getting an existing unit or wait a short time for the update. I decided to wait and get the update. I did not wait long and the communication was on point.The backSPA is EASY to use! The long handle makes it possible to reach all of my back without straining. You do have to move your back around to get some spots but no more than you move your face to compensate for the angles of your face. Its also quite light so it doesn't get heavy as you are working on banishing the hair. My first time using it took only about 4 minutes to remove all of my hair which was in full growth pattern. In fact, it worked so well that I thought it wasn't even working at one point. It can't be that easy. Well, it IS that EASY. You simply drag it along your dry skin and the hair shaves off. The design even catches some of the hair if you are shaving from above which helps to minimize the mess. It feels strange but no uncomfortable. It is important to note that you do not get a freshly shaved smooth back from the backSPA. It feels more like you have used an electric razor. I prefer leaving a little growth behind to avoid any ingrown hairs.PROS:Reaonably pricedFASTLight, so no tired armsLong handle for easy reachNo instructions necessary, just unwrap and start shavingCan be used dry (i haven't even tried it wet)Did i mention FASTCONS:Another razor to buy and replaceFeels a little strangeDoesn't remove the hair forever!!!GOOD TO KNOW:Some stubble left behind (although i don't mind this at all)Not eligible for Amazon Prime (not a deal breaker, so don't let this dissuade you)aThis is a great product from a fantastic seller. Don't hesitate to give it a try. I'm happy i did.

The bakBlade (bb) is well made and functional. It provides the best solution for back hair that I have ever found. I have tried about 12 other solutions, including electric clippers in a special holder, standard razors with extended handles, holders for regular razors, single flat blade extra wide razors with telescoping handles, creams, and many other types of solutions. The bb is the first I have used that actually removes the hair as one would expect, and does so with little effort.I did not give it five stars for two reasons. Firstly, the blade gets dull too quickly. I shave my face every other day, mostly because I'm rushed every morning, not because I don't need to shave. But my razors last weeks and weeks if properly cleaned (I use the five blade model on my face). The bb seems to get dulled after only 7 or 8 uses, which is how many times I have used it. Considering the cost of the blades, they need to last longer or cost less.Secondly, though the bb does not require much pressure to get the job done, the handle needs to be more rigid. Yes, many others will tell you to let the blade do the work, and it does do the work. But with a more rigid handle the bb would be easier to control and more accurate.The bb can be used wet or dry, though I prefer dry. The first time I used it I was pretty sure it was not working, but then I turned and saw a pile of hair on the floor. I was happy to see it was working, but sad and shocked I was a lot more hairy than I thought.One tip. Make that two tips. When you shave your upper back, train yourself to use the opposite arm to shave each half of your back, the right arm for the left side of your back and vice versa. This because if you try to shave the same side, which is what you will want to do by instinct, those flexing muscles will be hard to navigate. If you do opposite sides, you can keep your back flat and assist the blade.The second tip is to shave your lower back, from the mid back and down, from the side. The blade stays a lot more flat when hitting the mid and lower back from the side than it does by attempting to reach all the way down. Actually, I run the blade both ways, but more hair was removed when approached from the side.Maybe it's my body type, but that is what works for me. I recommend the razor and buying a handful of extra blades at the same time.I actually prefer the No No type device, which my girlfriend uses with great success, but it is expensive and I'm not sure I want my hair permanently removed. It's something I might need as an old man, sitting in my cold, barren room, to keep me warm. Actually, there is new technology allowing one's body hair to be transplanted to one's head - if I ever go bald, you never know...
