Electric razor for the head?

[hobbit712]

I have been contemplating buying a dedicated head shaver and though I would ask the collective their opinion.

I have been shaving my head for a very long time. I have to shave daily for work and I will shave the head every second day also. Since going to a 5 day a week schedule in December I have to shave the skull 2 or 3 times a week. Previously while on the 12 hour shift it was not quite as frequent.

I have seen a number of ads popping on social media lately for the dedicated head shaver. Amazon currently has a Remington on sale for Prime days. It get good reviews but it is designed only for the head as it has 5 shaving units on it. Its not really designed for facial use.

So I thought why not try a dedicated facial unit and also try it on the noggin. Has anyone given that a try?

Costco current has a top of the line Philips Norelco on sale. Its looks to be a great deal. $50 bucks off and an extra set of blades.

I don’t know anything about shaving the head, but I’ve seen these a few times.

Are you going for a smooth look or for stubble?

I’m a stubble guy and use Wahl clippers with a #1 / 1/8” guard on the ol’ noggin.

In the winter I’ll use it on the entire head & face for that tennis ball look all the girlies (except my wife!) dig.

I saw this savage one time.

I just use my beard trimmer with no guard and shave it. It’s not down to bare skin though, it’s like Jason Stathom shaved head. I used to shave it to the skin but it gets so much irritation unless it go through a whole process of gels and creams that I just stopped.

I’ve tried a few electric razors on my head and they work but it takes a long time. Now I use a Leaf shaver on my head with our soap shave bar and get far fewer cuts on my head than when I was using the Gillette 5-blade razor.

I use the Braun 9 which you can get at Costco pretty reasonably. Works great on face and head for me. Shave head every other day or so with it.
If I use a blade it’s Headblade

Six replies, and this hasn’t gone the “usual” route. It’s getting weak around here #terrysballsack

My thoughts exactly!

I had only one response yesterday. I check this morning and saw 7 responses and my first thought was that Terry, Ben or Hoppy had decided to join the party.

And since mother nature was kind enough to stop growing hair on the top I usually go for the smooth look. I might be able to live with the almost smooth look if the razor cuts close enough.

The Braun is a foil type correct? I didn't think it would work as well as a rotary style.

i only shave the shaft. i use a black & decker hedge trimmer. that way it looks like a ostrich.

It is and it’s worked well for me.
