Mangroomer
Do-It-Yourself Electric
Back Hair Shaver
 The
Mangroomer back hair shaver from Marut Enterprises has its
own website, with extensive
information on "the serious advantages" of the product and how it can
"improve your life."
A product description
at Amazon.com describes it as follows:
The Mangroomer Do-It-Yourself Electric Back Shaver is absolutely the best
way to get rid of unwanted back hair. This one-of-a-kind device features a
large 1.5-inch blade that enables you to shave larger areas of your back
with ease. The Mangroomer's cutting-edge blade design delivers extremely
close and smooth results without the potential of ingrown hairs that are
commonly caused by straight edge and foil shavers. And with the unique
patent-pending design, the Mangroomer opens to a staggering 135-degrees so
you can reach all areas of your back from different angles with ease.
The New York Times
carried an article on the product and its designer Brett Marut:
“I have hair on my back to the point where — I don’t know if you’d call
me self-conscious or what — but I’m a little bit embarrassed,” said Mr.
Marut, who lives in the beach mecca of Santa Monica, Calif.
He tried waxing, but he couldn’t tolerate the pain or the awkwardness of
entering a salon full of female customers. So he resolved to create a less
agonizing hair-removal option, one which men could use in private.
That option is the Mangroomer, an electric razor that resembles a futuristic
kung fu weapon. When fully extended, the Mangroomer measures nearly two feet
from base to blade — long enough, according to Mr. Marut, to shave the human
back’s remotest corners.

In a world which is engrossed with smooth skin, the Mangroomer device
could not come at a more opportune time. This electric shaver was designed
for all lonely men out there who do not have a partner to shave their hairy
backs, and hence have to perform the dastardly deed themselves. This
nunchaku-looking device is currently retailing for $39.95 and comes in a
lightweight, compact design that can be stored discreetly on your travels.
Gizmodo carries a brief review and a link to a YouTube video of "Justin
Timberback" singing "HairyBack."
If you thought Asians weren't hairy, well, for the most part you'd be
right. But in my case, you'd be as wrong as many times as I have hairs on my
body—which is a lot. Luckily for me (and anyone around me) there's the
Mangroomer, a DIY electric shaver that reaches your back and rids you of
your natural coat.
The
AskMen.com website rated the gadget 7/10 and commented:
Do you look like Chewbacca? Are you searching for a way to rid yourself
of unsightly back hair, but you're too embarrassed to go out and make a
public purchase? Well, look no further. Now you can go online and place an
order in private for the MANGROOMER...
What We Think: We're going to wait for the "BUTTCRACK" shaver.
