My husband has always had a very very hairy back. He had me wax it and shave a couple of times, but was embarrassed to ask all the time. With a new pool and summer, I saw this on Amazon and decided to see if he would be more at ease having it. He LOVES it. He said it took a time or two to get used to angles and such, but it did a good job of removing very thick hair on his back making him more confident and cooler too. Now he doesn't sweat as much and he's not embarrassed to be in the pool with the GK's. I love that it's rechargeable too. It charges while he's in the shower and it's ready to go once he's out. It only takes a few minutes and he's done. It's a great shaver and we are both thankful for items of convenience like this one!
