A Christmas Gadget Post by Maynard
My apologies to those who might consider this note to be of questionable taste, but I think it’s justified as a public service message. Somebody out there is going to be glad to know about this, even if they won’t admit to it.
Depending upon your age and genetic background, some of you older boys may wake up one fine day to find that during the night you grew a pelt. If this has already happened and you were unhappy with nature’s little joke, your most effective options involved soliciting the assistance of an intimate friend or a professional back-hair barber. Many will find either choice awkward.
I have good news for you. Some genius, who most certainly should be awarded a Nobel Prize for medical advances, finally got around to mounting a battery-powered trimmer at the end of a long arm. So for under $40 (postpaid!), you can purchase this Mangroomer and shave your back in the privacy of your home.
A similar alternative is the Razorba, which is a long-armed holder for the blade razor you already have.
Ladies, this might make a handy gift for the gentleman who doesn’t know he needs it and you hesitated to tell him in so many words.
I’m always amazed as I age that my hair keeps falling out where I need it and it keeps growing where I don’t! I haven’t yet grown the “pelt” but will file this away for future needs should they arise. Thanks…I think…
I love the FAQs section. How can I apply shaving cream to my back? Do people really ask this question frequently? Is there really a serious lathering dilema for the masses of Razorba customers? Personally, I think a real man should be gusty enough to pluck….A big set of back reaching tweezers.
I’m simultaneously really bummed out, and really thrilled. Bummed out because I wanted to invent it. Thrilled because I purchased one on the spot. Can’t tell you how the “pelt” that showed up when I turned 40 bums me out! Back hair just is NOT real sexy… and even worse in blotches. Now that you know far more about me than you wanted to know… Thanks for the tip-off, though!
But the question remains: what to do with all that leftover wool after shearing?
In my case it’s eyebrows. I can’t decide between trimming them or letting them grow long enough to do a comb over.
