About BAKBlade
Founded in 2012 by Matt Dryfhout, BAKblade was launched to solve the grooming problem that is removing one’s own back hair and in 2015, it became internationally famous thanks to a promotional video that went viral. Featuring a couple visiting a marriage guidance counselor, the video’s real star was the 800lb gorilla – aka “the husband” – in denial about his back hair problem. When the video was featured on Business Insider’s Facebook page, the company’s profile and profits soared. It has since been viewed over 200 million times and the BAKAPE has become part of the company’s logo and folklore. Moving forward, BAKBlade continues to launch new products and a membership model that rewards loyal customers with price breaks. Visit: http://www.bakblade.com.
