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.

I just received the mangroomer from my girlfriend over the weekend. At first I had no idea what it was or how it worked. However, I was really suprised when I saw it lets you shave off all your back hair by your lonesome. It works awesome. I have never been one to get waxed or lasered since I think it is way too painfull and I really don't feel like going to massage parlor, gym, spa etc. However, if I knew about this shaver before I would have bought it asap as I hate having my back hair with a passion. It is one of those things you just hate that you have every time you see a guy who has none and doesn't know how great he's got it. Anyhow, I used the shaver in my bathroom and was impressed how long it got when you extend the black handle portion of it. I seriously could reach everywhere on my whole back. However, it was a little strange to hit each area that easy in the beginning. But after I opened up all my mirros to get a better look at my back, I was better at shaving it and after a while found out the best way. I would recommend doing it in front of a 3 or 2 way mirror if you have one. All in all, it is awesome to get this shaver and that I can now shave my back. It really makes a huge difference for me as I always hated having back hair. I think any guy with it would love to get this shaver and their girlfriends will as well. This is a great gift for any guy who has back hair.
