So I am not sure how familiar people here are with this product but I just bought it and used it for the first time. It is a back hair shaver.
Short back story. No pun intended. I am Italian and hairy. Dark, course hair. My whole life body hair grooming has been a thing. Some people are just hairy on there arms or legs or chest. I have it all, including my back. I have tried all the back shaving products available and after first use this one is the winner for a bunch of reasons. So here is a mini review.
Upon opening it is a plastic stick with a blade. Not really fancy but that's ok. The handle is a soft and slightly flexible plastic. The blade slides on and off easily. The blade itself is just 3 DE blades side by side in a patented holder. The DE blades are not user replaceable as the whole thing is glued shut. Also the DE blades had no markings in them so not sure what kind.
First use. They say you can use it dry or wet. I chose dry. The idea is just use it like a back scratcher and it will remove the hair. After seeing that it was DE blades I was a little hesitant about getting cut. The blade holder however is pretty thick so then I wondered about it even cutting close. I went to use it and felt some good resistance of the blade on my skin. I pulled and it made a scratching noise and removed the hair completely to the skin. I went slow at first. After a little I went to town. You just need to make sure you do your whole back which is no fault of the product. Just your own flexibility. Result was a smooth shave right to the skin. No nicks, weepers or blood. I was also worried about irritation and razor burn from the blade but so far it feels great.
Conclusion.
I bought the BakBlade which includes the handle and one blade. I also added a pack of 2 blades. The blade that came in the handle was defective. One of the DE blades wasn't seated properly and didn't line up right. The other 2 blades are fine although they are not precisely lined up but definitely good enough to use. I emailed them and will see what they say.
Overall somehow it cuts close without cutting you. It's easy to use. No batteries. No moving parts. No rust. No additional people necessary. The blade quality could be better in the sense of lining up the 3 blades better and I think it is a little expensive but that's a personal call neither will stop me from continuing to buy blades.
Here is a blade I took apart (it is not supposed to so this blade is ruined)
Assembled
Defective blade
