I shave my head with a razor. Does this cut close like a razor?

I wouldn't use this to shave your head. They make specific electric razors for that.

Not at all. That's the appeal of the body shaver in my eyes. I also don't think it get as clean of a shave as a razor would. Just fyi

It does shave as close as a razor if you to over the area several times in slow motion.

This won't do that. I have the same problem. I trim and edge with the Andis. It cuts close, but not razor close. For the close shave, I have a Panasonic ES-LA63 Wet/Dry.

No, just let it glide over your whiskers, assuming of course you insert a sharp blade in the razor before you start to shave

i use only one blade for all my haircuts ,and that`s the blade marked " 0000 " . It cuts very close, but dose not nick or catch skin . I guess you could call my haircut the " skin head look "

No. Though I can get a knife blade sharp enough to shave arm hair with this tool a straight razor is made of finer stuff. If your razor has been damaged or misused to the point where this tool might even be considered then it is too far gone.

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.

On the upper side of the shaver, there is a "trimmer," which flips open and shut. It is pretty neat and effective, even for trimming the stray extended hairs from mustache and goatee. Or wherever. I would still have something sharp to make a clean cut off at the demarkation line if I were heading for a wedding or a job interview. Greetings, JohnW

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!

Since the upper most portion of the razor is fixed and can be removed by unscrewing it from the bottom, I would say the it is a closed comb. After loosening the nut at the opposite end, the top comb pulls out for blade replacement.

You would want to cut the hair on your head as close as you can. This will help with the effectiveness of the shaver, and will give you a closer shave. It may take 1/8" hair length, but I think it depends on how course your hair is.

Nope! When you take the head of to clean it will because it's full of shavings but otherwise it's tight, secure, neat and gives the best shave I've ever had from an electric razor; almost as close as a four-way shave with a safety razor. I'm not kidding. Baby smooth using Williams Lectric shave and a Remington shave stick. I had to switch do to starting blood thinners and I've no regrets.

no as it is a trimmer, not a razor. I have a razor and trimmer and use them based on what I need to do.

Yes, I take the head off and use just the blades to trim my neck regularly. It may snag a bit when shaving against the grain but does a great job at cleaning up.

I don't think so. Don't think it'd be a very close shave; not what it's designed to do. Nothing beats a razor. Best of luck!

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.

yes it does without much effort.the you are holding the handle does alter the trimming action.down to personal feel,but have found it great for the back.would recommend this product. the shaver fits into handle just fine and secure.hope this helps. cheers.

Yes, I shave my head with it. Only thing it won't last as long like using a razor. If you want long lasting results try use an electric razor.
