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

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.

I no longer believe that any gadget or miracle cure I see advertised will work. In fact I am confident that every claim made for products online or on TV will certainly not do a thing. Hair removal has followed this trend. I tried the ridiculous battery powered wand, which did nothing and broke within 10 minutes. I also tried the silly handle that just holds your regular razor so you can reach difficult spots. Also a disaster. I promised myself I wouldn't waste anymore money on products that claim to be able to clear the hard to reach hair on my back and shoulders. I stuck to that promise for many years and just dealt with being hairy.Recently I saw a youtube video making the same claims about the baKblade, and at first I dismissed it as being as useless as any of the others. The video seemed pretty legitimate however, and the guy was just laying waste to the hair on his back. I decided to break my promise and give it a try.The baKblade shipped quickly and discreetly and within an hour of receiving it I had laid out towels on the floor in front of the large bedroom mirror and gave it a try. I decided to use the dry method only because the video I had seen was made that way. I can tell you that I am not overly flexible, but the handle of the baKblade is long and strong and made reaching the difficult areas quite easy. I did a few swipes and knew right away that this was different. During methods I had tried before I could feel the blade just gliding over the hair and not actually cutting it. This was just the opposite. With just a little bit of force, the blade went right to the skin surface and cut the hair off like I was shearing a sheep. I can't express how wonderful it was to feel the blade effortlessly and painlessly erasing the hair. I saw it falling to the floor and was thrilled. I went to the mirror and fine-tuned a few areas, and in literally 10 minutes the baKblade had done what no other product in 20 years had been able to do.My next assumption was that the hair was being cut, but it would be stubbly and not a particularly smooth result. I was completely wrong about that as well. Not only was the hair gone, but my skin was completely smooth. The hair was gone and it felt as though it had never been there.After a shower, during which it felt insane to feel the water on my bare skin, I put on a clean shirt and freaked out a little bit by the feeling of the cotton against my bare skin. It felt so different. It was wonderful.Some have reported irritation after a day, but I have not experienced that at all. I feel cooler (less hot, not like Fonzie), and I feel cleaner, and even though no one can see, I feel more confident. I don't feel like a side-show freak anymore.If you've tried other products and were disappointed, as I was, this may very well be your answer. I can't say enough about how wonderful my experience with baKblade has been.Believe me when I tell you that the baKblade WORKS! Thank you!
