if the head floating when shaving?

No, you need to be careful not to apply too much pressure or you will cut yourself.
1462409
No. Set at lower setting & work your way to a higher number until you're comfortable with the weight & feel of the razor.

No it is not. It is also poorly balanced as the head is much heavier than the handle.

Do you mean does it float like a butterfly and sting like a bee?Does not float and does not sting. I have the long handle.I have four Merkru razors and the Progress is my favorite of the four.Slant is second favorite, Open Comb is third favorite, and the long handle 180 is my least favorite.You should hold the razor right at the razor head and you should let it float with only the weight of the razor.The best feedback of all my Merkru razors IS THE SOUND OF HAIR BEING WACKED OFF.Listen to the sound and you will know what the best angle is, best pressure is, and when you are done.

I think that the pivoting heads help, but you can get just as close of a shave with either. It's just that your hand would do more of the pivoting.

Sure, the base is weighted. I would see no problem. Using old school shaving soap in a cup and a brush will get you a better shave. Consider trying it. Remember HOT water.

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

Although I am pretty much bald, I haven't used my shaver for that. I do know that it does a good job shaving my face so I imagine it would be great to shave your head since facial hair is rougher than head hair.

Hi, Roy.I shave in the shower. I don't shave with the shower water running on my face but I'll wet my face with the shower water as needed. The water, itself, make the shaver glide smoothly. I've never felt the need for anything else.

Yes, the plates are "floating" which means thet they have tension behind them, so they press against the hair no matter where it is on the plates. Handle to tip they make contact. One thing, the handle can get pretty hot, be careful.

Do not press and drag the shaver. Pretend that you are shaving a balloon. The Norelco will do the job.

The shaver doesn't cut my neck when shaving, but I have been using Norelco 3-head shavers for years. I would suggest using less pressure in the neck area, and repeat several times.

If you use the shaver to go bald, they stay in the unit. If you use to create a close cut or stubble (using the "combs/fingers") they fall all around.

YEs, you can adjust the head on the bottom of the razor; but it only adjusts so far, and no more. This is like the old time one-blade razor.

I know what you are referring to, & I believe that happens due to shaving too close or going over the too many times. With this you get a close shave but still not as close as a blade. But I love it you may have to shave more often, but it beats cuts & as you said razor bumps & burns. :)

When I use it, my head stays on after I am done. I only use it to shave hair though. It leaves the hair at stubble length. Roughly the same length as 24 hours after using a razor blade.

Curve side is recommended. Watch out since the shaver is pretty sharp and shaves very well-so, try not to put the razor side close, otherwise, you may end up with a strip of beard missing!

Run the shaver head under the water faucet, blades upward. Though the middle one will periodically need to be removed and cleaned out manually.

If the head is not tight enough it will make a vibrating noise. That is the only time I have experienced any noise.
