Can this trimmer give a close/bald shave?

Sure, i usually use with my balde clients. It´s almost like when you do with a razor. Very smooth, easy to work and fast.

YES! Love this clipper. I am a hairstylist and have shaved heads and used it for great finish work on cuts. My favorite clipper. My only issue is I use it so much battery does not have time to recharge enough. I need two of them. Mary Marchese

No, not like a true razor. I think it can get very close but not skin smooth. It is a great clipper. I highly recommend it.

sure can. I think the shave it gives when vibrating is worse than the shave it gives when idle.

Yes, gives a very close cut after removing the trimmer attachment. Also very agile for outlining between beard and close shave areas, even in the hard-to-reach and close areas.

The Echo gets about as close as you can get with a trimmer type device, and at about 0.4 mm that's pretty close. I use this trimmer for keeping my beard at a five o'clock shadow level, so it depends on how close is close enough for you. I think only a foil shaver will cut closer, for electric type devices.

Nope. It's not a shaver, it's a very close trimmer. I own one and reviewed it above. It gets really really close, but a razor would get closer and in some of the areas this is designed for, that would you're likely to end up bloody if you're not extremely careful.

Absolutely. And for an electric shaver it can give you a pretty close shave once you've figured out how to use it. Keep the batteries fresh and gently press it straight down as you shave for the closest shave. Great for bikini line and armpits, as well. I haven't had an ingrown hair since I started using it.

If you want a very close shave, yes. If you want to trim your chest, it doesn't have a guard.

It's not a shaver so I don't think you would get to the state of bald, but it does cut pretty close.

My father has coarse (hard to cut) facial hair and this shaver worked for him for almost a year before he complained. He is retired military and likes a very close and clean shave. I wouldn't recommend this shaver for the head but my dad doesn't use it for that, so I can't say for sure.

My suspicion is no. It's not a really good shaver. I regret buying it. It gets the job done...eventually. I need to use the trimmer function constantly to get the long ones. Short stubble is easy with this thing, but if you miss a couple of days expect ten to 13 minutes shaving. You might be better off paying more for a shaver with a bigger blade IMHO.

It shaves very close, but it's meant for facial hair. Don't expect a clean shave like with a razor. That said it DOES shave very close. If I normally trim my beard on #2 with most shavers, I have to use setting #4. So on #1 it'll leave the finest stubble you can imagine. Maybe that's what you are looking for?

No, but I would guess that it might not work so well. I shave with it and it gives an OK shave but leaves many longer hairs on the neck. I would think that longer hair would be hard to catch on your scalp. ps when I need a close shave I use my regular razor. Hope this helps!

000 blade shaves off your head close to bald. the 1 i assume would trim higher than the 000

The machine doesnt work like a shaver. It will trim your goatee but the rest of your face will feel like a 5 oclock shadow. It wont cut like a shaver. Dont buy from weird dealers. Buy strickly from amazon. The machine comes with clips that other dealer wont give you. They take them out and sell the for extra profit.

Yes, and it shaves quite well. My objection is that the on/off switch is so "conveniently" placed that my thumb tends to turn it off while I'm shaving- I have to avoid the switch while I'm shaving. Mark

This razor is not equipped with a trimmer. I almost never used the trimmer on my previous razors, so I was unwilling t spend another $20 for the model that is equipped with a trimmer. RLK

it doesn't give a shave as good as a shaver, but it gives clean shave when you combine it with another razor, like the wahl balding razor. you should be okay if you use both.
