Today we take a look at the best electric head shavers for men.

Though the thought of a lean shaven head in your teens or early twenties is scary, it starts to get alluring as you clock mid-thirties and forties. Not only do you look good, but you’ve found yourself and are comfortable in your skin. But like with any project, you need the right tools for the best outcome. In this case, a quality head shaver is one of the tools to wield.

But not any electric shaver is ideal for grooming your bald head. Sure, you can pick the first electric shaver you come across in the stores, but chances are you will not get the best results. As such, to commit to a life of sexy baldness means to commit to finding the best head shaver you can get.

Best Bald Head Shaver (Summary)

Unfortunately, the process of finding the best head shaver is not a walk in the park. But on the other hand, we’ve done the heavy lifting and prepared a list and buying guide to choose from.

So without much ado, let’s get cracking.

Choosing a Suitable Electric Head Shaver

With grooming products, your decision should be driven by your needs and how the product in question can help you achieve your goals.  In that regard, the idea of the best shaver’ is slightly misguided.  Instead, you should pick an electric head shaver that suits you best and that comes with the least cons as possible.

We found this to be true when reviewing head shavers. Some electric shavers work great for some people, but that doesn’t mean that they will be perfect for you. To help you decide, we’ve put electric head shaves into two groups:

1. Electric Shavers For The Head and Face

Rotary and foil electric shavers fall under this category. They are considered normal electric shavers for facial hair. But be it as it may, most electric shavers (if not all) can double as head shavers, provided you are working on short hair.

The benefit of using these electric shavers is that they cut hair close to the skin. And since they are designed to deal with coarse facial hair, they have no problem dealing with thin and soft head hair. Thus, achieving a sexy bald look is easy and effortless with any of these shavers in hand.

The idea is to use these shavers often, say, after two or three days. If you let the hair grow too long, then they’ll pull and snag the hairs. The process will be painful and the result patchy.  The ideal hair length should < 2mm for a great shaving experience and good results.

Some electric shavers come with additional attachments that make it possible to handle slightly longer hair. However, these pre-trim attachments aren’t available for all accessories.

The other advantage is that you can use the shavers on your facial hair. This means you don’t need to get separate electric shavers for your head and face. But you should proceed with caution. Why?

Well, most of these electric shavers aren’t designed for head shaving (though they can be used for such). Human heads are large and spherical. They also have more contours than the face, which is mostly flat around the neck and cheeks. While you may achieve a close shave, you’ll need a few more passes when working on your head.

Moreover, you can see your progress when shaving your head. You’ll have to assume awkward positions to feel your head and get a close shave.

To solve this problem, a couple of high-end rotary razors come with three flexible heads. The heads’ flex’ independently to adapt to the contours. A couple of foil shavers have a similar feature, as you’ll see in the review section.

But even while this problem is solved, there’s also the issue of handling. Holding the electric shaver with the conventional grip design makes handling the shaver difficult, especially when working at the back of your head.

Remember, they are primarily designed to use on the face. But with some practice, you’ll find a way around this. But be prepared to spend a little more time head shaving.

2. Dedicated Head Trimmers and Shavers

From our explanation above, a suitable electric head shaver will achieve a close shave and adapt to the contours on your head. At the same time, it should have a design that makes it easier to handle and reach the back of your head.  Luckily, in the past couple of years, shaving enthusiasts, brands and companies have come up with electric head shavers that make this possible.

Many of these are rotary shavers with three, four or five shaving heads. But unlike traditional face shavers, the way a dedicated head shaver is designed makes them easy to hold in hand. You can shave your head and at the same time feel the progress you are making with the palm of your hand. The Skull Shaver Pitbull series is the perfect example of the ‘new age’ ergonomic electric head shaver designs.

Such products achieve close shaves when used for head shaving.

Note: though they achieve close shaves, they don’t get as close as blades do. But they are good enough.

You can use these head shavers on your face too. But bear in mind that they’ll not be as great as electric razors from Panasonic, Braun, or Philips.

Alternatively, you can opt for shearing blades (like normal hair clippers) instead of foil and rotary cutters. The body design of shearing blades makes them ideal for dedicated head shaving. They are also great as they can handle long hair.

But on the flip side, they don’t get as close as rotary and foil shavers do. But this is expected from clippers.  Depending on your shaving goals, they can be suitable alternatives. If you want a uniform short buzz design, clippers are ideal.

Like rotary and foil shavers, come clippers feature foil attachments that allow them to get even closer shaves.

Now that you have a firm understanding of the features and qualities your electric shaver must have let’s proceed to review some great choices.

The Best Electric Head Shaver List For Men in 2021

1. Skull Shaver Pitbull Platinum Pro  – Best Head Shaver Overall

Skull Shaver reinvented this shaver design with the use of world-class materials to provide exceptional comfort when shaving. Skull Shaver Pitbull Platinum Pro comes with a proprietary ergonomic handle that provides a great grip and fits perfectly in hand with the palm facing the head. Owing to its remastered design, the shaver easily gets all the tough spots and produces great results.

Professional Performance

The Pitbull Platinum Pro is made from high-quality materials with high-end equipment and exemplary production facilities. The shaver comes with a new Pro blade design that promises great performance and longevity.

Shaving in The Shower

The shaver has IPX5 technology, which means it’s water-resistant. This allows you to shave while in the shower and rinse it under running water. However, if you wish to dry shave, it’s an option you can explore (even without using shaving foam) and still get an irritation-free close shave.

Travel Friendly

Several features make this shaver travel friendly. First, the fact that it can wet and dry shave makes it convenient to use it anywhere and anytime. Second, the blades are designed to capture hair cuttings within the shaving chamber. So you can shave in the car, in a private jet or the office and not leave a mess on your shirt and skin.

Rechargeable Battery

The Pitbull Platinum pro Skull Shaver comes with a rechargeable Lithium-Ion battery that allows for a fast charge and cordless use of up to 90 minutes. With such use time, it means you can carry it with you on trips. Also, the shaver has an in plug shave mode, which is perfect when you forget to recharge it. But this is rare since with the LED battery life indicator; you’ll always know how much juice you have left and plan accordingly.

2. Skull Shaver Pitbull Gold Pro  – Best Value

Having a bald head is nothing to be ashamed of in the 21st century. If anything, women find bald men more attractive. If this is a look you’d love, or it’s your signature look, you need a head shaver that’ll help you achieve the best results, and that will have you enjoy the process. One of the best tools for this job is the Skull Shaver Pitbull Gold Pro. Below are its features and reasons why we recommend it.

First and foremost, it’s a rotary shaver, and its heads flex independently while maintaining close contact with the scalp. The main shaver head sports four cutting heads, while the bonus head comes with three heads.

Since the cutting blades are located behind a comb, they are comfortable and cut close to the skin but not as close as a straight razor can.

Now, handling a shaver with four cutting heads can be a problem. So Skull Shaver came up with a unique, comfortable and convenient handling design. Between the battery compartment and the head is a neck (a special handle) that allows you to hold the shaver between your fingers with your palm caressing your head. This way, you can feel for areas that need another pass as you make circular shaving motions.

We should also mention that the Skull Shaver Pitbull Gold Pro features new Japanese steel blades. These blades last longer and cut hair with great efficiency. With their high performance, you should experience fewer razor burns and less irritation, even if your scalp is sensitive.

Like with other head shavers, the Skull Shaver Pitbull Gold Pro works best on short hair. You can use it every two days, depending on how fast hair grows.

We loved that the shaver is waterproof (IPX5 technology). This means that you can use it while in the shower and even rinse it after use. For thorough cleaning, you’ll have to open the head unit. Alternatively, you can shave dry shave or use shaving cream for extra comfort.

Note: the blades are self-cleaning since they push out hair as they rotate.

This beast of a head shaver is powered by a Li-Ion rechargeable battery. The battery provides 90 minutes of service (a performance that’s above what other shavers offer). Even better, it sports a numerical LED that shows how much battery life is left. And even if the battery runs out on you, you can still dry shave when its plugged in.

3. Remington HC4250 Shortcut Pro  – Best Cordless Electric Head Clipper

Many electric shaver reviews focus on the features of the electric shavers. Questions like:

• How noisy is it?
• How long does the battery last?
• Does the shaver provider a close shave?
• Is it ideal for sensitive skin?

Take the day. However, we also feel it’s crucial to point out how the electric shaver feels in your hand and the skin. In this case, the Remington HC4250 excels.

• The shaver fits perfectly in your hand. It’s not clunky and difficult to handle.
• It has a rubber grip which improves the grasp even when your hands are wet. With the improved grip, you have better control, and consequently, the chances of nicking yourself or falling the shaver are close to nil.

Now, back to the features. The HC4250 features an extra-wide and curved blade that contours the head and provides an even closer shave. Aside from this, it features;

• A cleaning brush and oil
• Different length combs for varied shaving results
• Has a Li-ion rechargeable battery which offers 40 minutes of cordless use. The battery takes four hours to charge to 100%. This is not the best time we’ve come across, but it’s not the worst either.

Aside from this, the shaver is washable, which means cleaning is a breeze, and it can be used in both cordless and corded mode.

4. Braun Series 9 (9370cc)  – Best Face & Head Shaver (All Skin Types)

Let’s get right down to business. This Electric shaver is ideal for men looking for the best possible shaving experience. Below is a quick review and what the Braun 9370cc has to offer.

A 32-bit processor

Braun makes a point of using 32-bit processors in the new generation Series 8 and Series 9 shavers. In the older Series 9 electric shavers, 8-bit processors are used. The upgrade to the 32bit processors affords the electric shavers more power. The new processor handles more data resulting in higher efficiency than its older brothers.

A powerful motor

Within the Braun 9370cc electric shaver is a powerful synchronized motor. The motor allows the blades to vibrate at 10,000 sonic vibrations, which creates 40,000 cross-cutting actions in a minute.

Waterproof

The Braun 9370cc shaver is labeled wet/dry. This means it’ is waterproof and can handle both dry and wet shaving. You can rinse the shaver under running water or wash it by hand after use. The wet/dry feature also allows you to use it while in the shower.

Like manual razors, you can use shaving gels, foams, and shaving creams with the Braun 9370cc with ease.

Comfortable, close shave

If you love manual razors for the close shave they afford you, then you’ll love the Braun 9370cc shaver. The shaver achieves a close shave even when you have ingrown hairs. We’ve proven its efficiency on three-day-old stubbles. You don’t need to use a manual razor to clean up after this electric shaver.

Aside from an impeccable close shave, this shaver also cares for your skin’s comfort. We should add that it’s ideal for all skin types. The flexible blades are responsible for the comfortable and close shave it achieves.

Cleaning and Charging

The Braun Series 9 shavers’ beauty is that they are easy to clean and are convenient to charge.

This shaver, in particular, comes with a 5-action clean and charging station. The station hygienically charges, cleans, lubricates, and dries the shaver. You can select cleaning and dry programs by clicking the dedicated button.

Moreover, the shaver features a quick charge option. You can plug it in and, in five minutes, have enough juice for a shaving session.

If you are in a rush, you can opt to clean the charge station manually. Pop the fuel cap and clean the head using the cleaning brush provided. You should also shake the fuel cap to keep the blades clean. And since it is waterproof, you can rinse and clean the shaver under running water.

Power Source

The Braun 9370cc runs on a rechargeable Li-Ion battery that offers 50 minutes of cordless use. The electric shaver takes an hour to recharge fully. But in situations where you are running out of juice and are in a rush, you can quick charge.

With that said, you’ll always know when you are running out of juice. The LED battery life display on the handle showcases the charge runtime when the shaver needs cleaning and a travel lock. The travel lock is added to prevent the shaver from accidentally turning on while in your bag.

SyncroSonic Technology

As previously mentioned, this electric shaver comes with a powerful motor—the motor powers four powerful cutting elements. Braun threw in intelligent SyncroSonic technology for added efficiency where the four elements work in synergy to deliver 40,000 cross-cutting actions every minute. This technology also allows the device to capture different hair types, making it ideal for thick hair and sensitive skin.

Quadruple Cutting System

Braun 9370cc has five cutting elements including:

• 2 Optifoils – specialized in cutting hairs closest to the skin. They have hexagonal holes, which allows them to capture more hair in comparison to rounded holes.
• Direct and cut trimmer – designed to capture and line hairs growing in different directions. It trims and directs hairs to Optifoils.
• HyperLift and cut trimmer – this captures and cuts longer flat-lying hairs
• Skin guard – it’s laid between the first OptoFoil and the Direct and cut hummer

Pivoting Head

Braun’s 9370cc shaving head flexes in 10 directions. It can move forward, backward, left, right, up, and down to achieve a great shaving experience. This technology helps to reduce a lot of wrist movement, consequently making shaving sessions shorter.

5. Skull Shaver Palm 3  – Best Budget Electric Head Shaver

This is another product from Skull Shaver. It’s a smaller version of 4 and 5 head shavers. It has three pivoting cutters hence the name Skull Shaver Palm 3. Despite having lesser cutters, it’s precision and performance matches that of its brothers. However, it costs significantly less. Below are the features it sports and why it made it to our list.

First and foremost, it has an ultra-precision blade – CR-3 blade. This blade has three large pivoting and flexing heads that ensure the shaver has contact with your skin for a close shave. Each of the blades works independently to achieve a precise shave on your face and head.

These blades are powered by a powerful Li-Ion rechargeable battery that offers 60 minutes of cordless serve when fully charged. With such a lengthy service, you are at liberty to use the shaver anywhere you please. However, if it runs out of juice, you can always use it while plugged in. this option comes in handy when you are on the road for prolonged periods or forgot to recharge it before your shaving session.

Speaking of shaving, the Skull Shaver Palm 3 comes with IPX5 technology and is water-resistant. This means you can use it while in the shower and can also clean and rinse it under running water. However, if you choose to use it while plugged in, we don’t recommend using it in the shower.

To make cleaning an easier and thorough process, Skull Shaver included a built-in vacuum system that collects the hair inside the shaver. To remove the hair, you open the head, hold it under running water and watch the hair wash off.

The Skull Shaver Palm 3 comes with a nose/ear trimmer attachment which helps you get rid of unwanted hair in some delicate places without pinching, pulling or causing you pain.

6. Wahl Professional 8061-100 5-Star Series Shaver Shaper  – Best Electric Head Shaver For Sensitive Skin

Most times, it feels like we have to choose between old school gadgets and new technology. But what if we didn’t have to choose? What if you could have the best of both worlds in one product? Well, in this Wahl Professional 8061-100 5-Star series shaper you can.

This electric shaver features a rectangular design that pays homage to the 1950s. Moreover, it has a huge on/off button that stands out and a wide shaving blades.

But is the old-school design the only thing it has to offer? No. To improve on performance and the shaving experience, the electric shaver sports the following features;

• It is lightweight which makes it easier to handle
• Highly versatile. Though it is great for shaving your head bald, it also comes in handy for shaving the beard, neck and face.
• It’s well priced
• You can opt to use it with or without the cord
• The hypoallergenic shaving foil makes it gentle on sensitive skin. However, it can be used on any skin type.
• You can achieve a close shave without applying a lot of pressure
• The foil-style head makes trimming your beard and sideburns a walk in the park
• It works well on all hair types from fine to coarse hair. However, it’s not suitable for trimming long hair.

7. Philips Norelco AT830/41 Shaver 4500  – Great Budget Choice For Dry & Wet Shaving

Philips is a brand very few companies can rival with. It sets the trends in the industry and appeals to many men and women around the world. With its popularity, they seem to have unlocked an industry secret others haven’t yet. But regardless of what that is, we can attest to the fact that their shavers get the job done.

For instance, the Philips Norelco AT830/41 is designed as a dual purpose shaver. As such, it can work on your face and head. Regardless of how you choose to use it, the shaver is gentle and thus ideal for those with sensitive skin. But how does a shaver with multiple blades achieve this?

Well, Philips included a dual precision shaving system that ensures a smooth shave on the skin each time you use it. Also, dual precision technology is effective when trimming long hair and stubbles. On the other hand, it sports a flex, pivot and a float head that allows it to hug the contours on your face and head. Because of this, it remains in contact with the skin and achieves a close and even shave.

If you are worried about friction, don’t be. The heads are designed to generate low friction. They are also rounded to ensure they sharp blades don’t nick the skin – you’d have to be trying really hard for that to happen.

And since you wet or dry shave depending on your mood and how much time you have to spare, you’ll be pleased to note that this shaver accommodates this choice courtesy of the AquaTec seal. When wet shaving, you can use it with shaving foam or gel you please.

A bald head always goes well with trimmed facial hair. Philips knows this and as such offer a pop-up trimmer along with the electric shaver. You can use it to trim the detailing around the sideburns and the moustache.

This Norelco shaver is powered by a Lithium-ion battery and providers 50 minutes of shave time. When the battery is running low, an LED indicator will alert you. The same indicator will tell you when it’s fully charged.

8. Pitbull Silver Shaver IPX5  – Easy to Use & Efficient

Pitbulls can be scary – this much we now. But unlike the animal they are named after, this Pitbull Silver Shaver is gentle on the skin while delivering a smooth and close shave. It’s also worth mentioning the fact that it is great for both dry and wet shaving.

The Pitbull shaver is one of the newest lines from Skull Shaver. Today, it’s dedicated to producing quality and durable shaving products, but that wasn’t always the case for the brand.

As a result of their commitment, the shavers now have 20% more blade power and its cutting range is improved by a whopping 10%.

So what does this unit have to offer that warrants it to be on this list? First, the shaver features five shaving heads. These heads are larger than what you’d typically find on other shaving heads. These shaving heads allow you to shave in any direction comfortably, side to side, up-down, or even in circles.

Moreover, the blades are protected to reduce the risk of accidental cuts and nicks. This means you can use it with no worry in the world because this Pitbull will not bite.

Although this Pitbull shaver can be used for wet shaving, you should not submerge it in water, but you can use it in the shower.

Speaking of shaving while in the shower, how does the shaver not slip out of your hand? Well, while it doesn’t have a textured grip, it is ergonomic and fits perfectly in hand for a firm grip. You can grasp it in multiple ways and shave different parts of your head comfortably.

This shaver features a lithium-ion battery which will serve you for 30 minutes while in cordless use. Like other shavers, it features an LED indicator which alerts you when the battery power is running low.

While getting a clean shave is important, you also love being in a clean space. In this light, you’ll love the vacuum system built into the shaver. It collects the hair in the shaver, and you can also rinse it under running water. You should clean these blades regularly for durability.

9. Wahl Professional 5-Star Balding Clipper  – Best Professional Head Clipper

This is yet another great shaver from Wahl. This unit has a lot of praise from professional barbers. This is mainly because it has sharp blades that cut hair with high precision and therefore reduce chances of ingrown hair irritations.

It’s also worth noting that the electric shaver features titanium blades. And what’s more, Wahl threw in a self-sharpening feature to ensure the blades remain sharp and achieve the same results every time.

Powering the sharp blades is a powerful motor which runs twice as fast as regular pivot motors. The combination of a powerful motor and sharp blades means that hair pulling and snugging is not something you’ll have to deal with.

But aside from the sharp blades, the shaver comes with attachment combs, a blade guard, oil, a cleaning brush and a manual on using the shaver for best results.

10. Andis ProFoil Shaver  – Professional Electric Head Shaver

The Andis ProFoil Shaver is a favorite among professional barbers because it cuts hair close to the skin. Though it’s built for achieving beautiful fades and occasionally removing your stubble, the ProFoil shaver is a great option for homeowners as well.

This head shaver features a simple design and basic features. By basic we mean it doesn’t have a fancy LED display, a flexing shaving head, a no travel lock, speed settings, a beard density sensor or a pop-up trimmer. But this isn’t a bad thing because it achieves, professional and enviable shaves.

Below are some features that contribute to its high performance.

Two Independent Cutting Elements

The shaving system comprises two micro-coils arranged in a zigzag fashion. To ensure an irritation-free shave, the elements are made from hypoallergenic Gold titanium foil. The actual hair cutting is done by a pair of blades oscillating behind the perforated foil. The blades are powered by a rotary motor that achieves 9000 strokes a minute. With such power, it doesn’t matter what type of hair you have; fine, wiry, curly or straight. The shaver will work wonders.

Thin Foil

The foil on this electric shaver is incredibly thin compared to that in other foil shavers like Panasonic and Braun. As a result, they help in achieving a close shave.

Corded or Cordless

This electric shaver features a rechargeable Li-ion battery that powers the motor for 80 minutes. This is quite impressive, especially when compared to what other electric razors offer.

Moreover, this ProFoil shaver also works when plugged in. It sports a universal voltage converter which makes charging convenient for frequent travelers.

Look and Feel

Though it has a powerful battery, it’s surprisingly light. It’s made from plastic, and though it doesn’t have rubber surfaces, it’s easy to grip and handle, courtesy of its lightweight design. Also, despite being made from plastic, it doesn’t feel hollow or flimsy.

We mentioned that it doesn’t have a battery level display, but this isn’t a deal-breaker. After all, it offers 80 minutes of operation and the option of plugged in use.

11. Remington XR1400  – Wet & Dry Everyday Use

This is one of the most versatile shavers in the industry. You can use it every day if you please and is ideal for changing your beard style, moustache and some minor grooming hair touch-ups. Aside from this, it is also perfect for head shaving courtesy of the PrecisionPlus rotary heads and the HyperFlex neck technology which accommodates the contours of your head for a closer and clean shave.

Unlike Wahl Professional, this shaver comes with cordless use. Its lithium-ion battery recharges in four hours and affords you 45 minutes of shaving time. During this time, you can choose to use it for dry or wet shaving.

Speaking of wet shaving, we should point out that the Remington XR1400 is waterproof, has a rubberized and ergonomic grip. As such, you will always be in control of your shaving.

For an even better shaving experience, this shaver comes with extra attachments including a brush, a precision trimmer and rotary blades. The brush bristles are infused with charcoal which aids in removing grime and oil build-up from the pores in seconds. The result is a clean shave with no irritations.

12. Conair For Men Even Cut Dual Blade Clipper  – Easy to Use Electric Head Clipper

The first thing that’ll catch your eye about this clipper is its design. Instead of the traditional rectangular shape, Conair decided to surprise the market with a spherical clipper design. And from the interest it has been attracting, it’s safe to say that their design goal was a success.

But a cool, simple, and out-of-the-box design isn’t the only thing that this dual blade clipper has to offer. It features a dual blade technology that allows users to shave hair using backwards and forward motions. This means that you’ll spend less time readjusting and maneuvering the clipper in your hand – a luxury that shavers that cut in one direction cannot afford you. Also, courtesy of the dual blade technology, it’s easier to achieve an even shave.

But what is a dual blade technology without high-quality blades to finish the job. Well, Conair features high-grade stainless steel blades, which allow for fast and smooth cutting. Moreover, the clipper comes with four comb guide attachments that help you achieve different short hairstyles, including buzz cuts, fades and undercuts. And ear taper guide ensures that you achieve an even finish with ease.

This clipper is powered by a rechargeable Lithium-ion battery. The battery offers 60 minutes of services when fully charged for about 3 hours. But if you are in a rush, 30 minutes of charge can grant you 15 minutes of use.

With everything that this Conair clipper has going on, we must point out that its strength is convenience and not achieving a close shave. If this is what you are looking for, then the Conair clipper is perfect for your needs.

13. Braun Series 3  – Affordable Multi-use

The main feature of this electric shaver is the intuitive design, ease of use, and great performance. With these characteristics, the shaver helps you achieve a close shave without irritations and without having to repeat the process for an even shave.

The shaver blades are super sharp and are guarded with a SensoFoil guard. This guard ensures you are protected from nicks and cuts and on the other hand, make its ideal for use on sensitive skin. You do not have to apply pressure on this unit for a close shave. And even when you do, the blades retract for your safety.

The shaver is battery powered and takes about 60 minutes to charge to 100%. A full battery offers 45 minutes of shaving. But in case it’s dead, and you need a quick touch-up, a five-minute recharge will provide you with enough juice for one shaving session.

The battery status is shown by the LED display this unit comes with. As for cleaning, you can rinse it under running water since it has waterproof features.

Of course, you can. For a long time, manual razors were used, and then electric razors happened. Though they took some time to catch on, they finally have the benefits of the following factors;

• They reduce the chances of ingrown hairs and cuts
• They achieve a closer shave faster
• You do not need a shaving soap, gel or cream – even though you can use them if you please
• You can use it anywhere and not just your bathroom
• Many have cordless features which makes them ideal for shaving on-the-go

With that said, we admit that there’s a learning curve to using an electric razor. But on the flip side, it’s not rocket science. A couple of shaves and you will be shaving like a pro.

One of the best ways you can achieve great results from your electric razor is via circular motions on your scalp. This pattern helps the shaver adjust to the contours on your head and reduces the chances of nicks and cuts. It is also known to provide the cleanest shave.

Pro tip – always do your head shave after taking a hot shower because the hair is softer.

Tips to Using an Electric Shaver to Get The Best Close Shave

You can get a close shave with balding clippers or traditional razors. However, these tools have a learning curve to get the best smooth and close head shave. Electric shavers are somewhat intuitive. As a newbie, you can get down to business with minimal instructions and get a decent close and smooth shave. You should also check out our best razor for shaving head article.

But if you are reading this and want an experience and results that are better than decent, you should follow the tips we’ve compiled below.

Start With Short Hair

If you’ve been growing out your hair and would like to transition to a sexy bald look, you are in for a treat. But before you glide the electric shaver over your head, you should trim the hair. Most electric shavers are designed for use on stubbles. Only a few come with attachments to help trim longer hair.

In this case, you should use a pair of hair clippers or scissors to trim your hair.

Take a Hot Shower

After trimming, it’s time for a hot shower. Taking a hot shower helps to soften head hair and make it easier to cut. This way, there are fewer chances of skin irritations.

If the shaver you have is waterproof or is labeled ‘wet/dry’ like the Braun Series 9, you can start shaving while in the shower.

Correct Motion

Depending on the electric shaver you have in hand (either rotary or foil), you’ll use different shaving motions.  With foil shavers, you can follow a straight line. But with a rotary shaver, you’ll use circular motions. The circular motion mimics the movement of the heads on the rotary shaver.

Note: if you are unsure which type of electric shaver you have, skip to the next section for a quick rundown.

Don’t Apply Too Much Force

Any man who loves a bald look wants it to be the closest and the smoothest. However, in your effort to achieve this, you may be tempted to press down hard on the head shaver. You should fight this urge with everything you’ve got. Pressing down is counterproductive. You’ll only irritate your skin and wear down the shaver heads fast. Also, the shave will not be any closer.

Re-shave Often

It’s true electric shavers make light the process of head shaving. It’s also true that your hair will regrow faster than if you’d used a manual shave razor.  As such, we recommend shaving every two-three days for best results and to remain sharp.

Aside from maintaining a great look, regular shaving will make your shaving sessions shorter since you’ll be cutting tiny hairs – which are a breeze to cut.

Electric Shavers vs. Traditional Razors For Head Shaving (Pros & Cons)

Most men still use traditional razors on their heads. A large percentage of these men don’t realize it’s possible to use an electric head shaver and get great results.  If you are part of such men, here’s a quick breakdown of the pros and cons of each.

Benefits of traditional razors:

• Hair takes slightly longer to regrow. This leaves you with a cleaner and sexy look for longer.
• It’s cheaper
• Traditional razors are compact and easy to travel with
• They achieve a closer shave than other shaving tools

Wait, wait. How do traditional razors cause hair to grow slower? Well, hair doesn’t grow ‘slower’; instead, the razor cuts really closer to the skin, making it feel like hair takes longer to grow back compared to electric shavers. The traditional razor will lift the hair and cut it in one motion closer to the hair follicle base.

About costs, traditional razors are initially cheaper. But when you factor in the recurring blade costs, they might be more costly than electric shavers.

With that said, below are the benefits an electric shaver affords you;

• Faster and shorter shaving sessions.
• Ease of use
• Minimal cuts, little to no skin irritation, and razor bumps
• You don’t have to use shaving gels, creams, and water
• It doesn’t create a mess
• You can use it in different places

Wet shaving (the process of using a traditional razor) requires shaving cream and constantly rinsing the blade. It also involves falling hair all over the place, which means its use is limited to the shower or the sink. And after you are done shaving, you have to clean up.

With electric head shavers, the process is different. First, many high-end electric shavers are designed for wet/dry use. This means you can use it anywhere you please. About the shaving mess, most shavers come with a vacuum feature that sucks the tiny hairs you cut into a dedicated chamber. This way, the mess is contained, and no clean-up is necessary after.

Note: however, you’ll need to clean the electric shaver after use. The process involved removing the cap and rinsing it under running water.

With all the above considered, most men prefer electric shavers. Their allure is their convenience and ease of use.
