Mangroomer

The Mangroomer is a product that men can use to shave their own back hair.^[1]

The device was invented by Brett Marut, a resident of Santa Monica, California, after he suffered from pain and embarrassment while having his back professionally waxed at a salon full of female customers. It first went on sale in 2006 and quickly gained popularity through online retailers.^[2] The Mangroomer is an electric razor which The New York Times remarked "resembles a futuristic kung fu weapon." When it is folded open and its telescoping handle is extended to its maximum length, the Mangroomer is almost two feet long.^[3]
