View Full Version : A new solution for back problems
The other day, [you] was in chat, talking about their back problem. I saw in the paper, someone invented a solution.
Got hairy back? O.C. man has solution

Folks who don’t have hairy backs — and those who do but don’t mind — aren’t going to give a whit about Michael Fuerst’s invention.
But Fuerst is the first to acknowledge that he doesn’t like his back hair and for seven years he worked on a self-service solution. The result is the patented EasyRaze wand (Photos at right and below courtesy of EasyRaze).
“Waxing, laser therapy, trimming are expensive, painful, time consuming or don’t work,” says Fuerst who lives in Aliso Viejo. “With a little practice EasyRaze gives a clean shave even without a mirror.”
The $69 price includes ergonomic handle, a three-blade swivel-head razor and foam applicator. If you have a favorite razor, the tool can hold 99% of blade razors on the market, Fuerst says.
Fuerst isn’t the only one to spot a market for this product. Another back shaver on the market is Razorback.
Before you say “Geez, anybody can jerry-rig a razor on a stick,” here’s what Fuerst found out as he tried to create the EasyRaze.
“I put a lot of thought into the length and shape. The angle at which the blade slides over the back is critical and you have to be able to apply the correct pressure with your hand behind your back,” he says.
Going from idea to market is harder, costlier and more time consuming than noninventors realize. Fuerst spent seven years developing the idea and the past 15 months building the final design, finding manufacturers and developing the marketing. He has $10,000 invested in the company.
EasyRaze and foam tool
Imagine starting with cut-up toothbrushes with wire mesh on top and progressing to a polymer and stainless steel handle. Fuerst chose a German manufacturer.
In addition to its own website, EasyRazeUSA just received its first order from a major online retailer, Fuerst said.
He thought the core market would be males in sports, dance and performing arts. “But I’ve gotten e-mails from women who are pregnant who want a women’s version. I’m working on different colors and shapes for women.”
Evenutally Fuerst wants to develop an EasyRaze for the disabled.
What do you think? Is a back shaver on your shopping list?

I don't care how they do it, just as long as the hair is not there.
Hairy backs remind me of a Sasquatch.
imho...There are just some places hair shouldn't grow.
agreed! thank you for taking care of that...
LOL!

Sore back, eh? Would it be bad if I told you that you give me a pain in the back sometimes too?? Or, maybe it's lower. :P
I hope [you] isn't offended. It's not their fault they inherited it from their mother.

Sorry Tawni,..it ain't gonna fly. My comment to Left in chat today was "all in fun."
Like I said,..I hate to be a dick, but if Left is going to throw a hissy fit over shit I do just to be a dick,...I am not going to roll with stuff like this and have fun and let it slide.
Yer not gonna have it both ways.
All I said to him was "if he could log off long enough to visit his new grandchild" He had a shit fit and Nik backed him.
But yet I am supposed to take a shot at my mother 'all in fun?"
Nope sorry.

I did NOT back him.
I reminded you of the provisions put in place. Take it outside if you have a problem.
But, clearly, you've chosen to try and STILL act like Rudy.
Instead of doing what Storm has asked of members, you want to bring it to a thread that has nothing to do with left...OR you.
Hopefully, this will be the last of these types of things.
Either on your own accord or by a "behave yourself" stick.

Nah, pokes for fun are just that. Going on a tangent and shitting on a thread are the problem
