sandspider Posted September 18 Report Share Posted September 18 Hi all Wondering if anyone on here shaves their heads, and what they use if so? Think the time has come to give up the battle and just shave my head! But I don't want to be doing it with a razor, quick and easy is what I'm after. However, my stubble is quite thick, dark and quick growing, so it would also need to work well. Ideally I'd want to do it once a week maybe? That may be optimistic! I keep seeing ads for skull shavers on facebook, but they seem quite pricey and you have to buy blades on subscription. Probably rather buy once, and replace blades myself as needed. What do you use, and do you recommend it? Cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gameking Posted September 18 Report Share Posted September 18 These are the best , last for years , solid feel with powerful cutter as used by Barbers / hairdressers without the 'Professional' price tag. cuts to 1mm 😮. Wahl 5 Star Balding Clipper ***FREE POSTAGE*** | eBay Just check it has UK 3 pin plug some have 2 pin and you need a shaver adaptor . All the rechargeable ones are pants Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got one like this, but it doesn't go short enough and I can't see the back of my head! 27 minutes ago, thebigH91 said: I use the Remington RX5 head shaver, couple of minutes every other day or so and im fine That looks the right sort of thing, and cheaper than the Skullshave type ones.

Scully Posted September 18 Report Share Posted September 18 Babyliss orbital shaver, with the guard off. Then wet shave. 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sandspider Posted September 19 Author Report Share Posted September 19 Thanks chaps. Trying to avoid wet shaving, looking for minimum time and effort. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandspider Posted October 4 Author Report Share Posted October 4 Right, after some negotiation with the wife, it seems that I may not want to go fully bald all the time! Is there a skull shaver which allows cutting to different lengths, a few mm, but will also shave fully when needed? The RX5 looks good, but it only does one length - shaved... I already have clippers, with different length cut options, but can't use them on myself... Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaun4860 Posted October 4 Report Share Posted October 4 My skull shaver doesn’t give the option of different lengths. All or nothing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amri5h Posted October 26 Report Share Posted October 26 The best recommended Skull Shaver is none other than the Pitbull Skull Shaver, don't look at the price! It's really worth it!https://tinyurl.com/32f7dyyu £99 for the Gold onehttps://tinyurl.com/yzt9h943 £84 for the Silver oneThere is no big difference between both on the result you will get Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandspider Posted October 26 Author Report Share Posted October 26 I bought one from amazon for £22! Test the concept. It seems OK so far, though I've not used it much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobbyH Posted Wednesday at 14:02 Report Share Posted Wednesday at 14:02 I just use Asda foam and Harry’s blades (purely because a portion of the cost goes towards men’s mental health charity I’m led to believe). Shave the head once every 2-3 days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
