Do you have to use it daily? or can the balder blade handle about 1/8" hair length?

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.

I use this everyday but beware the foil head is not very durable so you will be changing sooner than you think. It does a good job though.

yes I use the shaver daily 1/8 hair length is getting a bitto long for the shaver

I have already had to replace the head once. I use it on my head. do not press hard it will eat up the mesh.

You could, but I would use a smaller trimmer for that. The 76's are some of the biggest hair clippers out there.

I have really thick hair and I just move the clipper slowly through my hair. I also don't allow it to grow two inches and then expect to single-pass it to an eighth inch length. However, I am on my second unit. (They're inexpensive.) The first one wore out and began not cutting cleanly, despite the measures I took. I don't like that I can't find replacement blades. I also don't like how choked the unit becomes with my hair, but that didn't really seem to change how it worked. It's *ok*. Don't expect perfection, but if you go slowly and cut hair a little at a time, you'll be fine.

Nope it won't, right now I'm on a hair vacation and I use it on my roots everyday for 31 days and my hair is fine.

I would not. It will dull the clipper blade pretty fast, not to mention pull on the hair.

Definitely,I been wearing a bald head for 16 yrs and that's the only way I can shave is with clippers due to sensitive skin, The Andis GTX, cuts smooth, precise and clean, due to the powerful motor it's even quick, highly recommended

Just checked wwith the person who uses it. No. You can shave really close but not " bald".

22 Aug: Hi William. I have not heard before of a "balding blade",,.... ' I looked as the stuff that came with the razor and found a little grey fence labeled No. 1/2... 1/16 inch. However, if balding is the issue -- I have typical male pattern major balding; I "cut" my hair two or three times a week, using no fence at all. The stainless cutting blades on this model leave a stubble of probably less than 1/32nd of an inch. It does a great job. I have owned three or four clippers in the past 15 years .... this is by far my favorite. Hope this answers your question. You'll love this clipper !!! Ciao ..... Paul D. 22 Aug: Hi William.

I have short hair that's pretty thick. It does a good job for me. I liked the one I bought for travel so much, I ordered another for home use.

It will trim it as low as the blade will go--1/4 inch or so. After that use, I imagine you would shave your scalp.

I don't think it is designed for that heavy duty use. Although the process will be tedious, I bet you can use it to shave your head.

I'm just a personal user and not a barber, but one 16.5oz container will last a long time. I don't even take it out of the original container. I just dip my blades in it and let the excess, along with the hair, rinse away.

Yes, I shave with it every day. It works fine. Just be sure you have plenty of light because it sometimes misses some smaller hairs. But they can be easily cut with the trimmer as long as you can see them.

This unit is primarily designed or hair cutting. a person probably be able to use it but it is not designed for that purpose.

I use about a dime size of it in the mornings and then follow with a rinse and shampoo. It will probably last me a year. Depends on how much hair you have, tho, and if you're using this, then I'm guessing not a whole lot.

Patti my sister has a YorkiPoo and she shaves her all the way down with no problem. I have a MultiPoo and it cuts her hair great. The blade is sharp enough you don't have to go over it but a couple of times.

I use it daily, but I also know some folks who use it less often. I Think it depends on how much help your hair needs :)
