Guide Review - Mangroomer

I love the concept of the Mangroomer. Before guys only really had the options of seeking help for a back shave, or paying the pros to wax it off. The design of the product is very carefully made to adjust to different angles and lengths, so you can reach your own back.

I gave it to my brother to try. He didn’t have another mirror to hold up in his bathroom to really see what he was doing, so the hair was cut in splotches and he said it pinched a bit. The hair patches wasn’t the Mangroomer’s fault, because he should have used a mirror.

But I still had to see how close it cut the hair cutting directly against the grain of the hair. So I took it and shaved his back, it cut the hair off, but not very close. There was still some growth like stubble, that could be compared to a couple days after shaving. He's had the hair clippers without a guard used on his back before, and he said that gave him a much closer shave.

My brother doesn't have a lot of back hair. So I can't see it being a great option for a ton of thick, long hair. I can see it as something that would work well for a small amount of fine hair, or touch ups in between wax visits.
