Wow, what a topic!
Does any body have an easy way to dispose of unsightly backhair,cheaply.I'm not opposed to shaving I just can't reach,or waxing is it exspensive and how long does it last?
Thanks, Bigfoo/ Darley Dee

Hi Darley,Originally Posted by darley dee
When I used to go out a lot, I had a CD friend who would shave my back for me, and I'd do hers, cheap and works great, but if you don't have pals who would be OK with that, you might take a look at http://www.mangroomer.com/default.aspx I haven't used this, but it sounds interesting.

Hi Darley,
I too like Carol had my back shaved,the gal that does my hair/wigs did it for me. Now she waxes it. Price runs about Seventy dollars and usually last six weeks. I've also had my chest/stomach,arms and legs done. You'll love the softness. Sure beats shaving!

Luckily I don't have much back hair, its mainly on the shoulders where I can reach, and I do shave those areas to see how it actually goes, though I may consider waxing since it does last a lot longer than shaving!
But its all down to personal choice and what you're happy with.
My nemesis! Back hair!
I can't afford laser, but when I can, that's the first thing that's getting zapped. My experiment with Nair left me with bad acne, which has been healing since the World Cup finals. For now, I'll do shaving and save up a bit for waxing.

Sirena, the fist time I used Nair my back was really red and it actually stung a littile when I showerd for a couple of days. I decided to try it again and didn't have any problems.

I get my back waxed and well...my whole body for that matter every 5-6 weeks. I swear by it and it actually grows back thinner and thinner each time I wax a certain body region. So I would recommend finding a salon that you are comfortable in and getting your back waxed. My salon charges me $45 for my back...to me, its TOTALLY worth it. Hope this helps and good luck with what ever you choose.....
Take Care,
Michelle
Not so much,and probably as much fun as a power sander, with a turpentine bath, but thanks for the laugh!I guess being dragged behind a car on your back not a good idea
Thanks to you and all whom replied,waxing seems the way to go.

Luckily my SO does it about once amonth. She thinks she is keeping the hair shaved to show my tattoos but.

You're welcome Darley Dee. I am so glad we could help you. Just a final thought though...the first time I got my back waxed, it hurt like hell. My back hair was so thick that it hurt so bad as it was being waxed off. But now, its not so bad. Partially b/c I am used to it and also the hair has really grown back much thinner. So please be aware of that first time...OUCH!!! Hahahaha....Michelle
I have had my back waxed a few times there is pain , My gf hates
back hair she has used electric clipers on it , but waxing is best you can get
it done for about $40 at strip malls usually run by oriental ladys every time I go they want to give me a pedicure enjoy
I have been shaving my back using an old Norelco with an " extension" handle
taped to it. Works, but is slow and awkward. I've been wondering about this back shaver, the Mangroomer. Has anyone seen/used one of these things for real? The website really doesn't say much about the mechanics of the thing. I see a switch on the side, so I assume it's electric. And it looks more like a shear that a shaver. Any comments?
Based on what I read about waxing and my son's experience, I am gonna try it at least once. If it works welll and only needs to be done every 5-6 weeks, I can afford the cost. We'll see.

Not a trace of back hair here. Whew!
It's great!
I totally know what you mean on how hard it is to maintain "back hair free." I have waxed for years, but to be quite honest I was tired of all the pain. Also, I hate always having to wait for my back hair to grow out long enough for them to wax me and having to spend $65 each time.
This frustration along with my laziness got me to try the Mangroomer after hearing how much Frank Decaro and Derek & Romaine on Sirius satellite radio love and support Mangroomer.com. I have got to tell you, I am so happy with it! It was only 40 bucks and one of the best things is now I am totally smooth in a moments notice by myself when I have to get ready for a show. Trust me, it will make your life a lot easier and happier!

Try using Veet Sensitive Formula. It is by far my favorite cream hair remover, and is easy on sensitive skin. I use it on my back with good results.

I appreciate that link on that one, the only problem I see with that is it hasHi Darley,

a head on it like a beard trimmer. Wish it would shave better, I would be all over that.

I bought an electric shaver to do my back, but I realized AFTER that I can't reach.
So my next option is going to be Veet.
I use a wooden back scratcher with on old razor taped to it with hockey tape....works like a charm!! An engineered solution!! hehehe

I have mine waxed. It cost about $50 to $60 but it is worth it. Last about 2 months.

As I've explained before, I use an old Norelco "rotary" electric shaver. I taped an extension handle( a piece of dowel) to it's handle. Since the blade surface is parallel to the handle, I'm able to manipulate the thing around my back. Works "OK" but is kinda awkward. I'm gonna try waxing at some point. My son has had this done several times, (he's not a CD but says the GGs don't like hairy backs) and says it lasts about 5 weeks. The hair grows back less thick each time. The cost isn't too bad, about $50.

Actually I have a friend at work who has openly told me that he nairs his entire body (ENTIRE). My best friend shaves his entire body, and openly tells everyone. Another close friend of mine waxes his back every now and then. As far as I know they are all straight, non-CDing folk. No one thinks differently of them, they just 'don't like looking like a sasquatch.'
I'm glad I don't get backhair. But if I did waxing really seems like the best way to get rid of it.
