I got a pretty hairy back and chest/stomach/arms...if not tended to.
I also have sensitive skin.
There are a lot of products out there, many of them garbage.

Do any of you know a good product that smoothly cuts this hair and can reach all areas of the back?

Phillips Norelco BG2030(they might have a newer/better one out there now), but i only use it to trim leg hair and sometimes arm. I don't have hair on my back, so i can't answer that.I don't completely shave. That would look too weird for me.

I wouldn't shave back hair. Wax it or Nair it. Nair stinks so use a clothespin on your nose. LOL!

Shaving your back to the skin can make anyone break out. Its best to wax it and exfoliate. Trim the body hair you can reach well. Those cheapo conair trimmers with the guides work just fine on the #2-#3 guard. Plus it looks natural and neatened up not shaved. You only have to do that every month or two depending on your personal hair growth. You back hair may actually start to thin out too. Use a loofah or scrubby sponge on your back with an anti acne body wash to keep you back clear after waxing. If it makes your skin too dry just use it every other day or every 2 days.

Since your skin is sensitive I would not use a razor or chemical depilatory. They all can irritate the skin and can leave stubble to add to a breakout problem. Men's hair can be too thick for it. I would not go for the all over hair removal if you have really sensitive skin.

When I can afford it, I'll make an appointment for laser hair removal.

So pretty much

1) Use the Phillips Noreleco
2) I can shave anywhere BUT my back? I can shave my arms, shoulders, chest, and stomach?
-Why is it ok to shave those and NOT my back?

Remington is the s*it. Its like 20 bucks from Target. I use it to trim my sideburns and remove my mustache stubble. I cant use a regular blade there or I'll start bleeding and sneezing...weird, I know. It comes with little clips just like the one for your head hair so you can adjust it. It is rechargeable and will last you at least a few years.

remington : Remington : Beauty : Target Search Results

Its the fourth one. I have used other companies and I cut myself. This thing is awesome and I do not endorse many items. The only bad thing is, if you drop it on wood or tile...it might break the attachment.

Your shirt lays on it = itchy
You sit/sleep on it = sweaty/itchy/breakout shave bumps

Shave at your own risk. But I would do a test patch/area to save a lot of itching

On my back or chest/shoulders/stomach/arm?

I mean I'm confused, do you think it's just the back to avoid or avoid shaving altoghter?

OK so can this get clarified


1) Is it a good idea to shave to get off ugly hair from
-Chest, shoulders, arms, stomach, and back?
-All or part of those?

2) Which shaver is best?

3) Is there any cream/lotion, what can I do to make sure when I shave I minimize break outs?

4) Is waxing a better option?
-Doesn't that kill like in 40 year old virgin, isn't it worse than a band aid?
-Also isn't it flamey for a guy?
