Back hair isn’t pretty. It can be quite ugly and unsightly. So, how do we deal with this problem? What is the best method for removal? Can you deal with this problem by yourself? In my web post, I hope to show you the Best Way To Remove Back Hair Yourself.
Yes, it is possible, and I will outline the best way to remove back hair yourself. The old dilemma of just keeping your shirt on or not caring and flaunting your back hair is quickly fading in the rearview mirror. We have options nowadays…and you know what? They work pretty darn well, too.

Most Men Are Unaware There Is A Easy Solution
Most people are unaware of the advancement of methods for dealing with back hair. There are many options to choose from. Some work better than others, but most importantly, we have quite a few options.
We, men, are self-sufficient. We would instead do it for ourselves than squabble for help. At least for me, that is the only option. I’m not too fond of the idea of having a stranger performing a form of torture on me by ripping my back hair out when I am half-naked. Not an option for this guy. Give me the option to allow myself to do it on my own, and I will naturally steer myself toward that method.
The old Grin and bear it motto for men with back hair is slowly fading. We have painless and highly effective hair removers. Removing hair is a big business; it speaks primarily to vanity and self-image. People want to feel better about themselves, and I love that removing hair in one fashion or another is getting easier and easier.
Shave The Back Hair
For so many reasons, I find that shaving your own back is the best method for removing back hair. Provided you have a good quality back shaver, more on this below. (See My Top 3 Back Shavers) A back shaver is, by far and away, the easiest and cheapest method available. You should consider this method before any other, or at least try it once. Especially with these newer back shavers, they cut through even the thickest of gorilla back hair.
Shaving is easy; once you do it twice, you’re probably an expert at it. A simple concept of shaving, a sharp blade cuts hair. Simple and effective. Shaving also leaves you with a nice smooth back. If you don’t remember how it feels to have a dolphin smooth back, you’re missing out. I prefer it now since I started shaving my back regularly.
What is a good back shaver? Those are good questions. I will give my top 3 back shavers I reviewed and tried.
Why Do I Think Shaving Your Back Is The Best Way To Remove Back Hair?
- Zero pain and zero discomfort, compared to waxing, where you have to go through pain just to be hairless regularly.
- Cost. You will save money on waxing, electrolysis, and laser treatments.
- Nobody judges you as they remove unsightly hair from your back.
- It allows you to be self-reliant, not rely on someone else.
- With the right shaver, it is straightforward. (see below)
- A cheap method of maintaining your back hair. Once the initial purchase of the actual shaver and the occasional purchase of replacement blades, it is pretty cost-effective.
- There is no appointment to set up to remove back hair, like waxing or laser treatment.
- You can shave your back right in your own home.
- You decide when to shave your back for regular hygiene maintenance. You can address the back hair issue when you want.
- Quick. Some shavers can shave a back in under 10 minutes.
Cons Of Shaving Your Back
- Once hair grows back, it can become itchy until a certain length is reached.
- Clean-up can be a task if you are particularly hairy.

My Top 3 Back Shavers
I have tried to rank these three back shavers highly. Most people would find either of these three shavers very proficient at ridding oneself of problematic back hair.
Bakblade 2.0 Elite Plus
To read more about this amazing back shaver, head over to my more in-depth review here, Bakblade 2.0 Elite Plus Back Shaver Review.
This back shaver is my #1 Recommended Back Shaver. It scores the highest of all the other shavers, and I have reviewed just about everyone.
Why is that?
This is the best design from bow to stern of any back shaver I have reviewed, and on top of that, one of the best performers. This thing just simply rocks!
Well, their DRYglide technology works great. This allows you to shave your back dry while not cutting yourself. It cuts through the hair and provides a remarkable close and fast shave. The long handle is comfortable and able to reach anywhere on your back. You can shave your back wet too if you prefer, it works either way.
This thing will not cut your back, unlike other back razors out there, where you have to be very cautious of using it. This is the most user-friendly of the bladed razors out there.
Any Bakblade back shavers will not clog with hair, no matter how dense your back fur is.
ManGroomer Lithium Max Plus Back Shaver
Now, this is the one that surprised me. I expected lackluster results from the ManGroomer. I thought it was a bit gimmicky. Nothing could be further from the truth. The ManGroomer Lithium Max Plus performs amazingly well and currently ranks in my top 4 best back shavers.
This is the modern-age shaver that works amazingly. Also, the long handle with a fully adjustable angle selector will reach any spot on your back.
This back shaver provides two different head attachments. The Back Shaver Head and the Body Groomer Head. These are easy and fast to switch out. One is designed to knock down long hair; the other one is designed to shave your back smoothly with a foil-type shaver.
This two-headed prong attack works great, coupled with the well-thought-out and engineered design and functions of this back shaver, and it is a true winner.

Bro Shaver 2.2 Back Hair Shaver
This is the full-fledged grown-up back shaver. Why? Well, this is exceptionally sharp and prone to nicking yourself often when you first start using it. But…it is super effective and cheap for blade replacements, two very important selling points. It doesn’t have the safety features of the baKblade, and this is a little better at attaining a closer shave but with an increased risk of cutting yourself. This would probably improve as you become increasingly familiar with the Bro Shaver. There is a learning curve here, thus the grown-up title. You will not nick yourself after a couple of shaves; this is what I have found out.
This currently ranks easily in my top 3 for back shaving, but this option for shaving your back should not be overlooked. It is a really serious contender.
Bro Shaver uses two double-edge razors side by side to give you a cutting width of 3 inches. With that kind of width, your back hair doesn’t stand a chance. I highly recommend this to the frugally-minded or extremely hairy person. Replacement razors for this are extremely cheap and extremely effective.
The handle needs a little refinement, but this is not a deal-breaker. Also, the handle is the longest of any back shaver I have reviewed, coming in at 20 inches long. If you’re looking for a great close shave with a very affordable blade replacement, this is your shaver, bro!

The Final Thoughts On The Best Way To Remove Back Hair Yourself
If you’re anything like me, you want to be self-reliant while feeling better about yourself and…I feel better about myself with a cleaned-up back with zero back hair. I have been embracing anything that builds me up, and a back shaver, however, may seem silly, but it does build up my confidence.
The three shavers I mentioned above performed the best out of all the other methods I have tested, and I have no problem recommending any of the three to anyone. I think these are the best ways to remove back hair yourself.
If you have any questions, comments, or suggestions for other methods of removing back hair, as always, I welcome all comments here at Back Shaver For Men. Thanks!
This is an informative post for men looking for hair removal from their back. My husband struggles with this as well. I like how you listed the pros and cons of shaving your back and give the top 3 types of back shavers. I think its important for someone to be able to remove their own back hair. I think I like the first choice you recommended, Bakblade 2.0 Elite plus. I think I will show my husband this option.
I often have wife’s on here on my website for their husbands or boyfriends looking for a good back hair shaver. Glad to help my fellow hairy-backed brothers out there.
Yes, the Bakblade 2.0 Elite Plus is the bomb and your husband should love it. Come back and let me know what he thinks.
I really like this topic a lot! Wow, so there are back shavers available for people to use. I had no clue that back shavers were an actual thing people could use, well, at least when I grow back hair, I can come to this little blog and make sure I get myself some deals and some pretty great razors!
Glad you like it The White Halo!
Yes, many men have no idea of a fully functional back shaver is even an option for shavings one’s own back. A few years ago I had no idea myself but was quite relieved to find out about back shavers myself. I spent a lot of trial and error finding a good one for myself and decided to build a website reviewing back shaver.
Please do come back.
These back shavers must work well. But I’m a bit concerned that the blades may dull fast. And dull blades are pretty useless. I hope this is not the case because I don’t have the money for expensive replacements. Are there simple hacks to avoid spending a lot on replacements? Thanks.
I typically get between 5 and 6 shaves before I notice the blades start getting dull. You have to keep in mind your shaving a larger area (your back) and shaving more hair than a typical beard shaver. This is pretty decent.
I highly recommend if you are worried about the cost of replacement blades to go with the Bro Shaver 2.2. This is a great back shaver and has the cheapest replacement method, as it uses cheap replaceable double side safety razors. These can be bought for cheap on Amazon, as compared to back shavers that use replaceable cartridges. You can buy packs of 5 up to 100, check out my article on buying Best Safety Razors For Shaving Your Back.
