back hair removal

Post by Galaxy »

How does one go about removing the hair on your back? I can't reach certain areas. Help.

I had my wife shave it once. She wasn't thrilled.

I made a wooden handle to which I attached a razor. Works if the hair isn't too long.

Best way is to get professionally waxed. Not done that yet. So, I'm just guessing.

I did see a Man-Groomer Electric Shaver that had a folding handle that was supposed to work.

I use Nair on my back, usually when I do my arms. I have a long handled "lotion applier" thing. It's got sort of a rounded flat end you can put lotion on to put on your back. sort of like what a back-scratcher does.

In the past it was finding something to use for a long handle to tape a razor onto to reach the areas I couldn't reach directly.

The Man-groomer electric shaver would be good for the first time to trim the longer hair down to a managable length. I know I've seen them in several places, Bed, Bath and Beyond; Harmons Discount; I think even Wall mart.

I tried the 'man groomer' and....it works! I was absolutely amazed and pleased! Now...I suspect my back isn't kissably smooth...but it took the hair off quite easily and gets rid of the sheep dog look.

I highly recommend the thing. There are several varieties out now. Seems the latest trend is for us guys to go hairless for the gym, swimming, etc. =D> =D>

Yeah. I was surprised at a shaving foam commercial yesterday when the guy not only shaved his beard in the shower, but his chest as well.

I ask my wife (nicely) to wax it for me. Therapeutic for her, ouch for me!

This is a great example of Sod's Law here

I have arms long enough to reach all parts of my back but I have no back hair at all.

SNAFU.

I know some things.
