MANGROOMER Do-It-Yourself Electric Back Hair Shaver (101-6)

I am a hairy guy and the the product is a very welcome tool to make myself more presentable. I have a couple of things to add though. First, I hesitate to call the Mangroomer a "shaver." It does not "shave" nor does it leave your skin smooth without trace of hair. It is more like a clipper, although it does clip the hair very close to the skin. The end result would be something like what you would see if you shaved the area and looked at it the next day or so. Basically stubble. Next, the clipper can be abrasive. You have to be careful not to press too hard or else your skin will get hurt. Just provide enough pressure so that the clipper makes contact with your skin. No more, or you may end up as disgruntled as some reviewers here seem to be. This pain is easy to avoid, so don't condemn the Mangroomer just because you aren't using it the right way. Lastly, some people complain that the clipper won't cut hair, and say that it pulls instead. This is the result of trying to clip an area too quickly. If you go slow and steady, then the clipper will work better. The best way to use the clipper is to move it in the opposite direction of the hair growth while simultaneously moving it back and forth about an inch, if that makes sense. Instead of just getting an area in one wide sweep, go slow and move the clipper back and forth in an effort to get all the hair. I will admit that if you are clipping long hair, the trimmer may pull slightly. But you shouldn't have long hair once you start clipping it regularly! I have tried shaving my back with the Razorba. While it worked great the first time, I ended up getting a bunch of ingrown hairs and razor bumps on my neck, shoulders and back. When I tried to shave my back again a few days later, the razor cut into all the bumps caused by the first session and it was a horrible experience. What I do now is attach my cheap Remington foil shaver (about $30 on Amazon and works beautifully. I use it for my face regularly) to the Razorba head (instead of a razor blade) with two zip ties and shave my back with it. This is a great way to get a smooth feel to the area you want to rid hair from if using an actual razor blade won't work for you. The Mangroomer removes the hair enough so the foil shaver is functional (foil shavers only shave stubble - don't try them on longer growth. They pull!) and the foil shaver makes everything smooth. One last tip is to use lithium batteries. My Mangroomer eats normal batteries from breakfast. Oh, and waxing hurts like hell, and is very expensive. This is what works best for me. Hopefully it helps someone else out. From one hairy guy to another.

CHEAP. It wont mow through back hair, no matter how thick or thin. You'll have to go over your back 10x and scratch your skin and it wont even be a clean shave. Cloggs easy. Hurts when it pulls and scratches. Wont even work on my arm hair...Wish i could return it and get my old back shaver from the trash but its too late!

The Mangroomer works very well and does the job. This model which uses AA batteries works much better than the rechargeable ones. For some reason, the rechargeable units seem to grab the hairs and rip them out. This Mangroomer is fragile. Should you drop it, it may break into pieces. None the less, I recommend it as it is the best of what is available on the market.

I bought this gadget after reading about it in a magazine. It got lots of praise and I decided to give it a try after reading the good reviews on Amazon. I was never super hairy or anything but I like to take care of my body and look and feel good. It was always a pain trying to get rid of back hair. I have tried creams and waxes and shaving and all were either painful or messy and sometimes I would have rashes for a week from the strong products. I was pretty excited to receive the Mangroomer but somewhat skeptical since most of the gadgets don't work. The packaging was simple and it was easy to open with a box cutter. The box included the Mangroomer, charger, registration docs, warranty information, instructions, and a cap for the blade. Its pretty easy to get going with this all you need is to charge it, there are no blades to attached. Once charged the toughest thing was getting used to the handle. Since I have never used one of these it took me a few minutes to get adjusted to the shape and size. I RECOMMEND you try it out before turning it on just so you get used to it. Once you get used to the Mangroomer its awesome. First the blade is engineered in a way that wont cut you even if you don't use the right angle on your back. I have never cut myself and I have been using it over 5 years. The instructions say to shave against the grain but I shave both ways and it works. I also use it to shave my armpits and personal areas and it does a great job. Shaving cream is not recommended and is not needed at all. The irritation is minimal and goes away after a shower. Here are the Pros and Cons.. Pros: Strong motor Safe blade Multi use Long reach handle Fast charge Cons: A bit bulky Takes a a bit to get used to Conclusion: This is a must own for any man that likes to take care of themselves and wants a simple and safe tool to help out. Its well built and powerful and will last. update: I am going to do a separate review for the new Mangroomer soon that I got after this one MANGROOMER Sku 211-6 Professional Do-it-yourself Electric Back Hair Shaver

O braço só abre um pouco mais que 90°. O design dele não ajuda em nada no que se propõe.

Prodotto ottimk e funzionale. Sicuramente non ha la potenza dei modelli piu evoluti ma fa il suo dovere. Forse un po delicato e leggero quando lo allunghi, pertanto fare attenzione

Great item at a a very good price.

Fácil de usar y funcional

This is what is called as a man saver - No more unwanted back hair and twisting and turning to remove it
