Is this good for shaving heads?

If the person you are shopping for is comfortable using a double razor then he should be fine. this is a good razor set. it's perfect for any man.

I have had my set for about 6 months now, works wonderful for my face but not easy to use on my head. I have only shaved my head one time with it and will stick to using a disposable. The problem is trying to keep the proper angle over my entire head. It did work well by the time I finish but very difficult to hold that angle (20 degrees or something) with the different contours of my head and then the different directions my hair grows. Not the fault of any one razor, but the disposables follow and adjust themselves to the contour. In a pinch, yes it will work, but not my first choice.

My husband loves his Merkur saftey Razor- the Merkur blades are amazing- but I think it may differ on the person- I'd suggest getting a variety pack with different blades and then finding out which one you might like the best- but the Saftey Razor is awesome.

Just tried it this morning myself with this exact set. I experienced that a safety razor is best for the face but a bumpy ride on the head. It doesn't have any give or joints and is in contact with the skin that is attached directly to the bone. You don't get good results fast. For that matter, I will stick to a Mach3 for the skull. On that note, I also tried a Shave Club "Lover" recently which peeled off some skin here and there, because with 4 blades it's too large. - Wouldn't recommend that either.

This in a Travel Shaver. It a good Shaver for the money but to cut 1 to 2 inch hair spend the money on a hair cutting and trimming kit. This would not be for that.

I don't use it on my head. It will work. Not as close as a razor. You should use electric shaver lotion before using. It cuts down on skin irritation.

I agree on the gentler solution. This is more for detail work in my opinion, gives a nice close shave. Not sure that it's a good choice for what you want to do.

I would say so. I keep my head shaven (buzzed, not bald), but when I got this brush in, I was getting pretty shaggy and it sure did straighten things up nicely! I use it to groom my beard, which is very coarse and unruly, but this brush is gentle as well as effective. My friends have noted how good it feels to brush your skin with it. Hope this helps!

Lol I'm not sure if it will shave your head but I don't see why it wouldn't. If you're looking for a shaver for only that reason, I would recommend buying a different shaver for less money.

This shaver definitely works. I use it to shave my head. It provides a very close, smooth, and comfortable shave for my head. Trust me, it works extremely well!

Yes! I primarily use it for trimming my goatee. It cuts a fine line and the head is small enough to reach tight spots.

no, I use it for all my clippers including my face shaver and clippers that cut my hair on my head.

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.

Have no idea about the head, I have a heavy beard and this razor when fully charged cuts clean and smooth. I put it on the charger once a week and that seems to work well.

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.

My experience is that it does not work like a razor. In fact, I didn't have much luck with it at all. It would work well for a very smooth surface like your face, but I was hoping to use it for my bikini line, and it didn't shave close enough to be used for rougher skin surfaces. Plus the shaving head is very small, only a fraction of the size of a razor. I used it for about two minutes and ended up throwing it away.

Not sure, I haven't actually used it for this. I use it primarily above my upper lip and sometimes for hard to reach chin hairs.

It won't cut as close as a good shaver, but it cuts closer than any trimmer that I've ever owned. Note that it will take more passes to trim your entire head since the cutting area is only 1-1/8" wide, and will not follow the contours of your head since it will not flex (as will a shaver). I don't shave my head, but it does a great job around sideburns and around the neckline. I would buy this trimmer again for my uses.

Yeah you can use it for other things but it's definitely made for your back. I would use a smaller shaver for other areas

I have owned this for several months. I have not tried to use it for shaving. Based on my use, my shelves are pretty crowded with bath/shower products. If you have the legs balanced correctly, you might give it a try. This probably doesn't answer your question, but I might give it a try myself.
