GOT A hairy back like Wolverine? Good for you. In fact, the allure of hairy men is time-tested, and no joke. Still, every so often we do want to look smooth and squeaky clean for a change—that’s why we groom ourselves with the best razors to clean up and freshen up our appearance. And if you find yourself struggling to reach those clumps of pesky hair on your back—and you’re too embarrassed to ask someone else to do it for you, we present you with a nifty save we discovered on TikTok: a back shaver at just $60 that lets you shave your own back.
Belonging to the category of “things you rolled your eyes at first but still bought either way”, the baKblade 2.0 is a DIY waterproof shaver specifically designed to provide a quick, pain-free shave for your back and body. The mechanism is rather simple: its head has easy-to-change blades stacked on top of each other, and the head is connected to an 18-inch long handle (when unfolded) that offers an ergonomic grip when you position it to your back.

TikToker @alexcosta, for instance, calls this product “weird but actually makes a lot of sense.” Really, think of it as a back scratcher but one made with shaving your back hair in mind instead. The blades used in this shaver sport the brand’s DRYglide technology which allows you to use it wet or dry while providing a clean, close, smooth shave. According to another TikToker @alexandros_mile_high who’s also used BakBlade 2.0, it’s basically a stack of safety razors that’ll shave your hair right off.
And if the blades are doing the shaving, the ergonomic handle will, well, handle the positioning. Depending on where your back hair is, you can angle baKblade 2.0 to reach your lower back, upper back, and even the hard-to-reach areas between your shoulder blades—as long as you can find the right angle and grip, which can take some practice. In fact, for bigger guys, it can be hard to position it to reach certain areas on your back, especially if you’re not flexible.

The only snag you might hit with the baKblade 2.0 is perhaps the need for a mirror—otherwise, you can’t see your back to know which places need shaving or whether you’re reaching those hairy regions at all. But if that’s taken care of, then you’re all set for a clean-shaven back with this body groomer that only costs $60 to let you stop looking like a bear, and more like a gentleman.
