How to Shave Your Own Back

Many men and woman make the decision to shave their back. Some people do it for aesthetic purposes while others do it for athletic reasons. A hairless body can take a lot of time off your breaststroke. If you are a naturally hairy individual, it can also improve your sex appeal to those who prefer hairless bodies. Follow these steps to learn how to shave your own back.

Difficulty: Moderate

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Triple blade razor
• Pre-shave oil
• Shaving cream
• Shaving brush

1. Prepare your back to be shaved. Steam your skin in a hot bath or shower to open your pores and loosen the hair from the skin. Steam your back for at least 15 minutes.

2. Massage a pre-shave oil into the skin on your back. If you have allergies or sensitive skin, purchase pre-shave oil that is fragrance free and hypoallergenic.

3. Apply shaving cream to your own back using a shaving brush. This will make it easier to get the hard-to-reach spots. It also lifts the hair off the skin, allowing you to take fewer strokes with the razor.

4. Shave your back starting from the top and working downwards. It may be easier to do this if you step out of the shower and use the mirror to shave. Reach your hand under your opposite arm and pull the razor downwards.

5. Step back in the shower and rinse your back with warm water. Dry off by patting gently. Apply the pre-shave oil to your back to soften your skin and add a soft glow.

Tips & Warnings

• It is always easier to shave your back with a partner. Even if you are extremely flexible there are parts of your back you won't be able to reach.
