Shave head? Anyone know if this shaver is safe to use on the head?

Nope, it specicically says for the neck down. Don't even try it. I have a shaved head too and when I first started shaving it, used a regular razor. I found another solution. Check out www.headblade.com It's a specially designed razor that fits in your hand, gives you a lot of control over the blade, and is made specifically for shaving your head. I bought mine online, but since then, the local Wal-Mart has started carrying it.

I think it may depend on how long you want it to work well--facial hair is tougher on blades than the rest of your body hair is, so you'll just dull the blade extra fast. There are plenty of shavers made for facial and head hair if that's what you're looking for, and I think they'll do a better job for you.

It would probably work pretty well - I've used it to clean off a two-week growth of beard using the trimmer first then the heads. I haven't shaved my head with it, but it's pretty gentle on the face.

I read some on-line posts about this and I have been using a short stroke, since this head does not pivot, it helps keep the blade angle correct. I Use a good quality shave lotion instead of foam from a can, with lots of warm water, usually straight from the shower. I blead a little at first but once I got the hang of it my wife and I both love the closeness of the shave.

Did you try this on your head? I am considering this or the black version of this. My barber used it to bald my head after a close trim and this was pretty quick and clean for the most part, I still got a few bumps here and there, mostly back of my head but I think it should be OK with a prep and aftershave cream follow up?

I have also had a Panasonic wet/dry shaver very similar to this for about 15yrs (use it once a wk on face and twice a month on head) and I'm finally looking to replace it with another Panasonic for sure. (Posted this in support of the quality/longevity)

No, it is really good to use on face. I usually use it and it is rather soft in shaving, so don't worry about it.

I have not used the razor for my head. However I think there are razor, both electric and manual, that are made for this purpose

I use it with both face and head. It is an excellent razor. Use a good shaving cream and a good DE blade. You may need to experiment. I am using Feather DE blades and Nivea shave cream in a tube which I lather up using a brush. Don't press down with the razor, let the razor do the work and go slow while learning. I get a great shave and no ingrown hairs.

I think its an awesome shaver . It shaves really well and I love using it. It would be hard to use any other kind now. it shaves very well and I use baby oil with it . clean cut is a great product

wish I could help directly...I only use it for my every other day save and to trim side burns and soul patch. In general I get a close facial shave without any razor burn or irritation. Compared to my previous iterations of Norelco shavers (think this is my 4th), it is much much lighter and quieter.

I haven't shaved my head with it, I wouldn't try it with my skill level yet, but shaving the face is very nice and easy. I bought the Derby half blade 100 pack for about $6 or you can break regular double edges in half and I can usually find those at any rite aid type pharmacy.

Works great on bald heads, just be sure and not let whatever hair you have on your head get too long. I like using the Super Close gold plated foil for a close head shave. However, you do have to be careful because that sucker will nick you if you don't use it properly. Just take is slow and easy the first few times and do not press too hard. With experience, you'll learn exactly how much pressure to use. I shave every day, and replace my foil every 2 to 3 months.

Even with my bad experiences I would buy another one as long as it was $45 or less. Just keep in mind that you will not be able to find replacement heads and will have to throw it out when it no longer shaves you good. Depending on your beard this could take a few years. I had no issues until mine got worn out.

Dip the head attachment in water while shaver is running. This works best if done between daily shaves. You can remove the head attachment as a whole and run faucet water over it as well, however we don't advise to remove the actual five blades. They should always stay on.http://www.skullshaver.com/customercare/use-and-maintenance-of-shaver-head

I have not tried it, but I know that after I rinse off the heads there is still water inside the heads and I can shave with it, so I am assuming you can shave with the body wet as well. Hope that helps.

Yes, if it is a "wet" shaver (one that you can use either wet or dry), it is not a problem and I would actually HIGHLY RECCOMMEND it. I've gotten a much better shave using it with my electric than without it.
