My problem isn’t so overly horrible that I thought I needed to spend money to fix it.  It’s not like I’m some kind of Sasquatch or anything.  I just have some random hairs starting to crop up on my back and shoulders, so rather than comb the city looking for the fanciest and probably overly expensive Chicago hair remover, I decided instead to invest in a back shaver.  It was less expensive that a single trip to a salon and I’ll be able to use it a few times before the blade needs replacing.  It’s really just like a regular razor that you use on your face, only with a bigger blade and longer handle.  I priced the replacement blades too, to make sure I wouldn’t be getting ripped off on the back end, and they were even cheaper than I expected.  It really is the way to go in my opinion, quicker, easier, no appointment to schedule – I do it whenever I feel like it right at my own house. It just takes me a few minutes before I get in the shower and I’m good to go.  I don’t have to feel all self conscious about going outside in a tank top and I’m able to keep the extra money that I would have spent at the salon in my pocket.
