Mangroomer vs. Alternate Hair Removal Options
Before the Mangroomer, there were three hair removal options -- waxing, chemicals, and laser/electrolysis. Waxing is an effective way to remove hair, but it is incredibly painful. Waxing actually rips hairs right out of their follicles, violently removing them from your body. And since you certainly can't wax your own back, you'll need to make an appointment and pay someone to do apply the wax and rip it off your back with your hair. Chemicals are also another viable option for hair removal, but it too comes with it's own set of cons. With chemical treatment there is a chance that skin irritation and scarring may occur, and similar to waxing, chemical treatment must be applied by someone else. Chemical treatments are also notorious for noxious fumes that make for an uncomfortable and embarrassing hair loss treatment. The third treatment option, laser/electrolysis hair removal, is very expensive and, similar to the other treatment options, it cannot be done in the comfort and privacy of your own home. It requires multiple treatments and does not stop the growth of any new hair, plus it doesn't even guarantee that it will stop the hair growth of treated follicles. Combine these embarrassing option with expensive costs and you'll see why some many people are switching to the Mangroomer. 
The Mangroomer folds out to whopping 135-degrees. | 
It is a breeze to reach those difficult, hairy lower-back areas. | 
The shaver even extends to tackle the hard-to-reach middle back. | Dispelling the Shaving Myth
Does shaving make your hair grow back thicker? Darker? Faster? According to a study from the Mayo Clinic the answer is no. In an article from Mayo Clinic dermatologist Lawrence Gibson, M.D. and his colleagues, the shaving myth is officially debunked: shaving hair doesn't make it grow back thicker. It also doesn't affect the color or rate of growth. The color, location, thickness and length of hair on your body mainly depends on genetics and hormones. After you shave body hair, it may feel coarse or stubbly for a time as it grows out. During this phase body hair may be more noticeable, and it may appear darker or thicker, but it's not. The Mayo Clinic article also stated that you should see your doctor if you have a sudden increase in facial or body hair. How the Mangroomer Can Improve Your Life
- Look and Feel Clean and Manicured -- Eliminating unsightly back hair presents a more refined, clean image to others.
- Confidence -- Increase your confidence knowing that you are "back hair free" and no one will be staring or snickering at you, or get turned off by unsightly back hair.
- Romance -- Start up that spark in your relationship or marriage by surprising your partner with a smooth, sexy back.
- Muscle Definition -- Shaving the hair off your back shows your muscle definition in much greater detail. You'll simply look in better shape after using the Mangroomer.
- Sweat -- Keep your back shaved clean and help keep your back dry with less sweat and less chance for body odor.
- First Impressions -- As the saying goes, you only get one chance to make a first impression. Don't let back hair ruin the image you are trying to project.
- Summer Essentials -- When your shirt is off this summer, no back hair is a big plus. Whether you're at the beach or a pool party, use the Mangroomer to avoid embarrassing, hairy-back jokes.
- Avoid Embarrassing Public Treatment Options -- With the Mangroomer you can shave your back privately, easily, quickly, painlessly, and inexpensively by yourself, in the comfort of your own home.

 Mangroomer Back Shaver November 10, 2008
My back is pretty hairy, normally not the hairiest at the beach or the gym, but usually a close second or third. I have a lot of hair on my shoulders as well. Anyway, I was tired of looking myself with all that hair in the bathroom mirror (my wife was probably tired of it, too, but she was too nice to say anything about it),and wanted to give the MANGROOMER a try before something more radical like waxing or laser removal.
My first impression on opening up the packaging is that this thing is very cheaply made. It is constructed out of flimsy plastic and it looks and feels like it could break quite easily. The operation of the button and slider mechanism that extends the handle is not smooth at all. I had expected this from the reviews I read here, but it was still a disappointment given the price.
OK, but how does it work on a hairy back like mine? I put in 2 AA batteries and went to work. Initially, I did not think it was working. Plus, it stung quite a bit when it grabbed hairs (note to MANGROOMER - higher quality blades would be nice!). Nonetheless, I continued to plug away - up, down, sideways, diagonally, and eventually I saw that the hair was, in fact, coming off.
The handle is ingenious. No problems reaching any part of my back. I used a hand mirror and a bathroom mirror to guide myself. With a little practice, I found that I could aim it just about anywhere I wanted it to go. 45 minutes and two sets of Energizer batteries later, my back was reasonably clean, albeit with red marks all over (which went away after a day or so). My skin was also quite tender for a few hours afterwards. My back was not completely smooth. There was a bit of stubble, but nothing you could see from more than 3 feet away. I assume that, much like an electric razor, if I keep using the MANGROOMER over time the shaves will get closer as my skin adjusts.
I would use the MANGROOMER in conjunction with another product, like the Phillips Norelco BG2020, or maybe even a regular disposable razor. The BG2020 is more comfortable and the razor probably shaves a bit closer. Unfortunately, you just can't reach all areas of your back with either of them. Use the BG2020 or a razor on the areas you can reach, and the MANGROOMER on the areas you can't. Have not tried the Razorba product, but I did not think it would work for me, at least at first, given the length and amount of hair on my back. Now that I've got a good start, though, I might give it a try.
Moderate performance for a high price October 30, 2008
I've used it 3 times now for my moderate back hair. I think it would work well for light to moderate hair. I don't think I would trust it for more intimate areas of my bod. Since my hair tends to lay down, a back and forth motion seemed to work best for me. It took about 15-20 minutes to do my back, shoulders, and upper arms. Fresh batteries make it work more efficiently. I wasn't impressed with the quality for the price paid. The on/off switch is flimsy and the overall quality reminded me of a cheap flashlight. I would think twice before buying another product from this company. I thought about sending it back but it is handy and the adjustability of the handle is good though it feels fragile. I have gotten much better values from Amazon.com.
Cheaply made and expensive but it does work.....sort of. October 28, 2008
1 out of 2 found this review helpful
As many have said this item is cheaply made, but it does work for me. Now by work I mean it will get my back to presentable form but it does leave a lot of stubble, so if it is date night I still have to break out the mach 3. The head of the mangroomer has a tendency to collect hair inside it and clog up, so I have had to clean it a couple of times. Overall the design makes this a nice gadget but not a necessary one.
