Operating Instructions
The BAKBLADE 2.0 can be used for both wet and dry shaving. For optimal results and to minimize skin irritation, consider the following guidelines:
General Shaving Technique
- Preparation: For wet shaving, it is recommended to use shaving cream or gel. For dry shaving, ensure skin is clean and dry.
- Handle Grip: Hold the ergonomic handle firmly. The design allows for easy reach to all areas of your back.
- Shaving Motion: Apply light, even pressure. Use long, smooth strokes in the direction of hair growth initially, then against the grain for a closer shave if desired. Avoid excessive pressure to prevent nicks or irritation.
- Difficult Areas: The extended handle and flexible head are designed to navigate contours of the back and body. Adjust your grip and angle as needed to reach all areas effectively.

Safety Information
As with any non-electric shaver, exercise caution. Raised moles or scars may be susceptible to nicks or cuts. Always proceed with care around such areas. If you experience persistent irritation or cuts, discontinue use and consult a healthcare professional.
Maintenance
Cleaning
After each use, rinse the shaver head thoroughly under running water to remove hair and shaving residue. Use the provided cleaning brush to dislodge any stubborn hairs from between the blades. Ensure the shaver is clean before storage.
Blade Replacement
DRYglide blades are designed for multiple uses, typically 5 to 7 full back shaves, depending on hair thickness and frequency of use. Replace blades when you notice a decrease in shaving effectiveness or increased tugging. To replace, gently push the old blade cartridge out and snap a new one into place.
Storage
Store the BAKBLADE 2.0 in a dry place. The included suction cup hook allows for convenient hanging in a shower or on a mirror. For travel, fold the handle for compact storage.
Troubleshooting
- Difficulty Shaving / Hair Pulling: This often indicates dull blades. Replace the blade cartridges. Ensure you are using light, even pressure and the correct shaving angle.
- Nicks or Cuts: Reduce pressure during shaving. Ensure blades are clean and sharp. Avoid shaving over moles, scars, or uneven skin surfaces with excessive force. Consider using shaving cream or gel for increased lubrication.
- Incomplete Shave: Ensure the shaver head is making full contact with the skin. Adjust your grip and body position to reach all areas. Multiple passes may be necessary for dense hair.
