Before Bearback I tried another brand with a fixed head and standard razor blades. When I got Bearback, I did a test using one device on each side of my back.
The fixed head did okay on the first side but struggled right below the shoulder blade, despite trying different angles. Bearback’s pivoting head handled the trouble spot with one stroke and went on to make quick work of the other side, eagerly devouring back hair like slash and burn logging clearing the rainforest for Big Ag’s beef pastures! Plus, it folds in half for a shorter grip, easy storage and the cartridges are easy. Seems safer than handling razor blades and don’t have to worry about kids losing a finger.
PRO TIP: Regardless of the shaver used, start low and work upward, shaving horizontal paths (spine to love handle, move up, repeat). If you work downward, you have to shave the attached hair AND the cut hairs that sprinkled down onto your work area. If you’re reading a body shaver review, you’re hairy enough to benefit from this tip.

Finally - I no longer have to ask my wife to shave my back for me! Thanks Bearback for making it easy for me to get a fast smooth shave...no assistance necessary. I use other Bearback products, and this shaver just makes perfect sense - the shape of the handle is perfect for the job. I love that I can also fold the handle and easily shave my stomach.
