Shave your own back. No help needed.
The Bearback Back Shaver is the back-and-body razor for men who want complete control of their grooming. Designed specifically for shaving your own back, the 17-inch folding handle extends to reach the full back without bending or twisting. Then it folds down for close-in shaving on the chest, arms, stomach, and shoulders. One razor. Two positions. Full-body coverage. No partner required.
Why the Bearback Back Shaver Works
17-inch folding handle, two ergonomic positions. Extended for back and shoulder reach. Folded for chest, arms, stomach, and other close-in areas. The same handle works for both. Pop it open for back; fold it closed for the front. Travels flat and tucks into a drawer.
Triple-blade Swedish stainless steel cartridge. A pivoting blade head that follows the curves of your body for a close, comfortable shave without irritation. Snap-in cartridges (sold separately) make refresh quick and simple.
Wet or dry, shower-safe. The handle is water-immune ABS plastic with a non-slip rubberized grip that stays secure on wet hands. Use it in the shower with shave gel for the closest shave, or dry for quick touch-ups before the beach or gym. Travel-ready either way.
Named "Best Budget Back Shaver" by Men's Health (2025). Reviewed and recommended for daily back grooming by the leading authority in male health and fitness. The Men's Health editorial team tested back shavers across the category and picked Bearback for value, reach, and shaving quality.
Part of the Bearback platform. The same handle accepts a back scratcher, rolling lotion applicator, silicone body scrubber, dry brush, or massage roller. Add an attachment, get a different tool. One handle, multiple tools. (Sold separately.)
From a brand that doesn't disappear. The back shaver category is split between premium options at $50 or more and Amazon drop-shippers that show up cheap, undercut on price, and vanish when their inventory sells out. Bearback is the third option: a Men's Health "Best Budget" pick from a family business built from scratch in Alpharetta, Georgia, with a 2-year warranty and real customer support. We've been answering our own customer emails for eight years and counting.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I shave my back by myself?
You can use the Bearback Back Shaver wet or dry. For the closest shave, lather your back with shave gel or body wash in the shower and use it wet. For quick touch-ups before the beach or gym, use it dry. Extend the handle to its full 17 inches and lock it in place. Start at the lower back and pull the razor up in long strokes, rinsing the blade every few passes. For the chest, arms, and stomach, fold the handle to 9.5 inches for precision control.
Will it cut my back?
The triple-blade cartridge has a pivoting head and a guard bar that follows skin contour to minimize the risk of nicks. Go slowly on the first few uses to learn the feel and rinse between strokes. Shave gel or body wash adds comfort and reduces friction, but it isn't required. Most customers shave their backs without incident from the first use.
Can I use this for my chest and stomach?
Yes. Fold the handle to 9.5 inches and use it like a normal manual razor. The compact mode is comfortable for chest, stomach, arms, and other close-in areas. Many customers use Bearback as their only body razor.
What makes the Bearback Back Shaver different from other folding shavers?
Most folding back shavers fold for storage only and shave in one position. Bearback's handle is engineered to work in two distinct positions: extended for the full-back reach, folded for close-in chest, arms, and stomach work. That's why we describe it as a back AND body shaver, not just a back shaver. The handle is also the same platform that accepts our back scratcher, lotion applicator, body scrubber, dry brush, and massage roller, so one purchase unlocks a multi-tool system. Men's Health tested back shavers across the category and named Bearback their "Best Budget Back Shaver" pick in 2025.
Can the Bearback Back Shaver be used wet or dry?
Yes, both. The handle is water-immune ABS plastic with a soft-touch finish and a non-slip rubberized grip that stays secure on wet hands, so it's safe for shower use with shave gel or body wash. It also works dry for quick touch-ups before the beach or gym. Manual cartridge razors generally give the closest shave wet, with lather to soften hair, but the Bearback Back Shaver is engineered to perform either way. Many customers do both.
How often do I need to replace the cartridges?
It depends on how often you shave. Most men shave their backs much less frequently than their faces, typically every 1 to 4 weeks for regular maintenance, sometimes more often before summer or vacations. A cartridge will typically last several months of regular back-shaving use. Replace it when you notice the blade pulling instead of gliding, or when it's no longer delivering a close shave. Snap-in replacement takes seconds, and refill cartridges are sold in 4-packs.
