This shaver has a lot of 'warnings' to it. What other shavers could anyone reccomend to bald my husband?

Well more than anything these machines are used for shaping up not really for shaving a whole head if you are looking for something like that u might want to try the Andis master clippers or even the whal seniors machines that are of great quality and are made for that type of job :) hope this helped

I use a Wahl Sterling. The Sterling has consistently work great on my customers.

My husband uses this razor. I asked and he said he has had five shaves with one razor so far. He Loves his new razor, brush and soap that purchased for him. Hope this is helpful.

May not be the thing to use. I think I would recommned an electric razor. Something like the Panasonic ES-SL41-S Electric Razor might be easier on his face. There are a number of good electric razors. I like the Panasonic and it can be used wet.

My beard is really tough and it takes quite a while for me to get a close shave, but the Panasonic does a better job than any other shaver I've ever used. Leave the cleaning base at home and just take the charger/cord with you on the road. I can get about 10 shaves on a charge, but I plug the shaver in overnight when on the road. If you clean the shaver under running water you will never *have* to clean it in the base, although that's what I do when not travelling. It's a great shaver... You can't go wrong. I've got the ES8228 and the ES8109. They're pretty much the same shavers with different trim. I replaced a Braun 360.

It's a pretty good shaver . . . noisey and a hell-ov-a-job to replace the heads. Waterproof, I really don't know, rather doubt it. I don't shave wet.

DEFINITELY NOT! Some like it, but I personally prefer shaving with a razor 'cause it leaves the area nice & smooth, as opposed to this shaver which still leaves short short hair. Visually I was like "wow this really works" but when I ran my hand through I could still feel it prickly.. it felt like I'd shaved about one or two days before I actually had. Honestly my boyfriend just liked the razor better -- I know not all guys have the same likes blah blah but that's just to give you a male point of view, I guess. And I mean let's not even talk about shaving down under lol it's just not a comfortable size to use in between the legs. My friend, the one that recommended me this shaver, was like "ohh just use the pop up trimmer!" It was all fun & dandy.. until it pulled on a hair. Honest to God: the startle made me do that little jump (very dangerous with something like that down there) and my eyes even watered. That is something I never EVER want to experience again. Just like you, bikini area was basically the major reason why I wanted this shaver. It was seriously the first thing I shaved when the shaver arrived; unfortunately, I was pretty disappointed /: For the rest, though, like arms & legs, ughh it is SUCH a life saver & WAYY more comfortable than the razor (with the occasional pull, of course). I've also never been cut with this shaver sooo yipee! That's a BIG plus for me. I mean I've even shaved in the car on my way to somewhere. It's super awesome on that note though. Soo.. what I do is just keep the razor in the shower, strictly for bikini use, but that's it. The rest I shave with this shaver (: Hope this helped!

I went back to a Double Edge safety razor. Best move I made as far as shaving goes. Look at the Edwin Jagger Double Edge razors as an example. The DE89 series is very popular. I use a DE89BL almost on a daily basis. There are many other brands available too like Parker, Muhle etc.

I got my husband this razor recently with the Croma blade. The customer service rep at The Luxury Barber told me that those blades were the best kind and straight from Germany. My hubby loves it so far... he says they work great!

My wife bought me the Braun 390CC-4 shaver since I have very sensitive skin and have never been able to shave with a safety razor without breaking out. I get a very smooth shave with the Braun and heartily recommend the "clean and renew" feature. It really does a great job of keeping the unit in topnotch shape shave after shave. Every shave is like having a new shaver!!!

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.

If this is the Norelco I reviewed previously, I'd get another shaver ie Norelco 4821xl

My husband has had his razor of over a year and I am thinking about replacing them for him. I have just read someone saying that they took their shaver somewhere and had it cleaned and that this person told him that they only needed replacing every three years.

As a Afro American Male it works ok. In addition to the skull shaver I use Andies Edgers to cut the long hair and follow thru with the skull shaver to give the smooth finish. Keep a good supply of the replaceable blades and clean after each use. I normally replace the blades every 3-4 months. Hope this helps

i would contact amazon first then the vender. i returned mine asap as i was disappointed on the quality of the end result, a close and tight "shave". seems the norelco type shaving head does non work well on the head.

Sorry my husband says it is a great shaver but no attachment for trimming beards.
