I don't shave my head, but I can't imagine why this wouldn't work well for you. I am absolutely sold on this razor for normal face-shaving duties.

I haven't tried it yet, but it seems like it would work better, disposables get clogged this one doesn't. If you do please let us know the results.

I would be careful if you haven't used this type of razor before. They take some getting used to. I am old enough to have used this type as a young man so I have had no problems shaving my face with it. Take your time and use a gentle touch.

I don't shave my head (already have too little hair) but bought one of these to shave my face. I used to use a similar product in my youth, when this was the standard, and have looked for a good one for several years. This one is first rate, with a good solid feel. Multiple blades are not better than a single blade. If they were, barbers would use them instead of a straight edge. In short, this is the best razor I've had in a very long time.

I would use either a Gillette pro glide or Harry's razor. I do shave my head and this micro touch did not work well for me!

I have never shaved my head with any razor. However, I would check with a barber since many do use a single edge razor for shaving customers. Regardless, I would purchase this for using it on your beard. Then try your head.

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

That is a good question. I have been testing several brands. They can be hard to find at local retailers and the prices range from a few dollars and up. I am attempting find the brand blade that gives me the best shave, and will last more than a couple days. I recently ordered the Feather brand, but I have not received them yet. Locally, and at ~$3.00 for 10, Derby seem to have a good edge, but I'm only getting a couple days per blade. I was able to find the Derby brand at a beauty supply shop. I'll see how the Feather brand does once I receive them. Thanks for the question. Conrad

Try website www.goodmans.net!! This is where I got my Norelco SensoTouch 3D 1280 shaving head for the fraction of the cost!! I paid 60 bucks for mine and it is the same thing!! I saw your item on there also!!

I shave in the shower and it works like a dream. Much cheaper than cartridges. Just take your time and buy Astra or Dorco blades.

I don't have that exact razor and I'm not a shaving expert. However, I believe these will work for you. They're double edged and so is your razor. I personally like the Feather blades. The price on Amazon was much better that what I was paying locally. The Feather blades are very sharp and have no trouble cutting my stubborn beard.

I usually just use them once and toss them. At 5 cents a blade it's worth it in my opinion. I've used a blade for 3 shaves and it still had life though so all depends on what you want.

Yes. This safety razor is a great deal. I've been using it for 1+ year and it still looks brand new. It gives a good shave, cleans easily, and the blades are inexpensive and high quality. The Merkur is a great first safety razor. I will never go back to disposable or multi-blade razors. Make sure he also has a good shaving soap/cream; not the standard foam in a can.

I don't think it will be a problem. In fact, I think you will like it better than the multiblade razors. The blades are cheaper and I feel the shave is better. Also, the cleaning during shaving is easier. Slightly loosen the razor blade, rinse off, snug up the blade again and continue with a easily cleaned edge.

I gotten up to 10, but then I switched to another brand of blades to try them. I think at about 10 for my beard was the limit. I've only returned to DE shaving since mid-December, and I've tried 4 different brands. The Feather and Wilkinson Sword seem best for my needs. I have friend who has been using DEs for decades, and he says he gets them to last a long time, but he did not define the length of time.

Well, my man has had two. Each blade has two sides. So, considering he does through a disposable once I would say this is fantastic. He has the thickest, courses hair, but he says it's easy to use one side of one blade twice if not more. The blades are $7 for 5? Cheap!! BUT here is the catch. You have to use a lotion lather bar, or face razor burn. Seriously such a great product for men and woman!!

I use mine for my beard with no problem. Didn't buy it for head. There is a small build up on the blades as you use it and you should just brush it/shake it off once in a while. I never thought of it as an issue, just normal use maintenance. The blades do not get jammed or anything. I think it is just static Electricity.

It seems many like Shark, but at least for my DE razor they are my least favorite. Lord is a brand I like a lot better and it comes in half blades also. I normally shave with Feather, but my other favorites, not sure if they com in halves, are Gillette Goal. My point is just that if you haven't tried Lord, I think you should, then come tell me what you think. :) Maybe this is different for a single edge razor though.

my understanding is that all the personna blades are different. only ever used this one though. cant say id recomend it. the blade it self is rather gentle in the razors ive used it in but doesnt stay sharp long. maybe 2 shaves where as with the feather blades i can get 10 shaves out of each
