This is the Baldcafe first look review of the Andis Profoil Lithium Plus electric shaver.
These electric shavers are often used in barbershops for head shaving and for skin fades. They have become popular with many bald men who shave their heads. Before you spend you hard earned money on one, let me test it out for you so you can make a better decision on if this is a good electric shaver for you.

![Best Bald Head Shavers 2024 [Don’t Buy Until You Watch This!]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/zMH5rWGUeEE/mqdefault.jpg)
I'm 27, been bald for about 2-3 years now. I just want to say you're the soul reason I've leaned into being bald, and gave me the confidence to be seen bald. I used to feel like I was the ugliest wretched human around just cause I was young and bald. But I PROMISE you, confidence is EVERYTHING. I just want to sincerely thank you for that confidence.
Also im glad im not the only one who hates shaving the back. Found a good unscented scalp moisturizer, it's a life saver!
Thanks for sharing brother. It’s a real pleasure to be a part of Your journey. I just showed you where to look but it was always there 👌
@Baldcafe Thank you brother, never had a father growing up. So people like you on UA-cam have helped me learn and have confidence. You'll have my respect for life man. 🙏🏼
He's the one who gave me the confidence to shave my head, and after 3 years i did it. Thank you for that!
Thanks for the review. I’ve been shaving my head for 4 years now and your channel helped me out over the years.
Totally agree with your assessment of electrics. Wet shaves might seem a bit more hassle but for me it's an overall more pleasant experience. I do have a Remington headshaver for in hand luggage when I can't take my blades, but I never find it as easy or comfortable as advertised. It's fine for a quick pass on one day's growth but would never be my go-to. Leafshave Twig FTW.
Guys even spending money on blades and stuff is still much less than hair systems, transplants, etc. I bounce between my Braun Series 9 and shaving wet. I’m saving thousands a year not to mention the cost of anxiety. This channel gave me my life back!
I think the twig has been the best investment I've made, can get a box of 100 blades from astra for €10, cream for €10, a brush for ,€10
That's maybe a €90 start with only €20 a year max to refill shaving cream and blades
Pretty crazy compared to haircut prices and systems/meds and the like
There are some people who look good enough that pattern balding patterns don't take away from their looks. You are one such person. Thank you for the reviews, made my life easier picking the foil shaver I purchase.
Tip from my barber: use talcum free baby powder, a light dusting. Makes it glide like butter!
Wtf thx for info
What is wrong with talc ?
@@dfpguitar inhaling it can possibly be carcinogenic
I got this shaver a month ago and I love it. I understand you thought it difficult on 4 days growth, that is too long.
2 days is pushing it but doable. If used every day this shaver makes short work of it, with minimal irritation
I use the skullshaver whilst in the shower. A bit of mositurising shower gel on the head and you get no irritation and a great, close shave.
I use the wahl balding clipper thanks to your review on it. And then I follow it up with this exact shaver. The andis shaver works best with the least amount of hair possible. You had too much hair and thats why it wasn't working properly. Both are easy to use and leave me 100% bald. I also have the andis trimmer for my facial hair. I have saved so much money since I started to cut my own hair. All three of these machines have payed for themselves many time over.
If you were considering this shaver or something similar then I hope you found this first look review video helpful 👍
Very helpful indeed!
Can you use a Rockwell 6C Safety Razor? it has different attachments for different lengths of hair👍
I have this one and it has been great. But, you can't let it go more than a couple of days between shaves....what I like to do is hit the thick areas (the horseshoe) every day with the Andis. The top part can go a couple of days. Doing it that say saves a little time. I don't get any irritation since it doesn't take that many passes on the thick hair, if done every day.
Not sure if worthy of a follow-up trial...but, the Andis works really well if done every other day. I would have had the same result as you if I had let it go 4 days.
What would you recommend for cleanest shave? I can't decide between Andis, Babyliss Pro dual foil and remington rx7.
I tried this Andis shaver more than a year ago. I used it maybe three times and sent it back to Amazon, from which I bought it. I never used it long enough to get a good head shave. As you said, it really did get my skin hot.
I got a similar shaver from Babyliss, which I think does a pretty good job, but it takes quite a bit of going over the stubble several times. Also the replacement foil and blades are rather expensive and the foil wears a hole before the blades seem to go dull.
I also have a Pitbull Gold headshaver, which came with two heads, one with four and one with five rotary heads. It gets as good as it gets fairly quickly but does not get to a really close shave. But I can use the Pitbull and then finish up with the Babyliss and have a very good result.
But the best head shave for me comes from a Gillette Mach 3 cartridge. I’m an older (75) guy but I have been Bald By Choice for 15 years and still have a lot of hair Up There and usually shave every two to three days. The Mach 3 does it for me most of the time. It’s quicker and closer and less irritating than any other method.
I don’t think I am old enough to be trusted with a double edge razor. It’s just to bloody for me.
Thanks for your work; I’ve been watching for years!
I appreciate your review, but I’ve fallen in love with the clean look and totally smooth feeling that only a wet shave can truly provide, so I’ll just save the money and stick to shaving…no need to charge blades either! 😉
As a head shaver who usually rolls 3 to 5 days between head shaves... My Merkur 2 piece slant A.K.A. the Sledgehammer... effortlessly plows through the thickest growth... no tugging , no pain... no lingering hot irritation what so ever...and.. it never clogs..I've got a lot of safety razors... and nothing touches it for head shaving.
I’m Mirin’ your descriptive skills
What’s your go to blades?
I love the Bic Chromium Platnums...
They're just a smidge below Feathers in sharpness... but.. where they excel is they actually get sharper after the first shave and hold an edge much longer... where the Feathers are great on the first shave and quickly degrade.. now you may ask how is it possible for a blade to be sharper on the second shave?
Well.. Bic puts a teflon coating on the blade for smoothness... however... it kinda fouls the edge a bit.. your first shave wears that coating off and gets ya to the real edge.@jakerobichaux939
Great video! The coil shaver is best for those who deal with skin irritation due to blade shaving. For the best results with this, your hair needs to be cut very low. I cut my hair with clippers and then quickly buzz my head with a coil shaver for extra smoothness and to get rid of any left over stubble. I love coil shavers but those looking to get one have to understand that your hair must be very low. If you use it every day or every other day, i think that's the sweet spot. This channel helped me take the plunge and shave my head earlier this year!😎 Thanks for all you do!
this is the way
I can't be bothered to shave my head every day or every other day, I'm a once a week kind of guy. I shave my head with the Andis T-Outliner first (zero gapped) then you this exact foiler which is what brought me to this channel. I'm still have problems though in the exact spots he had in this video. I have go over the back of head sooooo many times, and my hair is extremely fine. Super frustrating there's nothing else on the market.
Do you mean foil shaver, or coil shaver?
Rocking that stache, man!
For me, the difference between "razor bald" and "clipper bald" is so miniscule, that going electric was a no-brainer. Apart from avoiding inevitable nicks and cuts, the time and cost savings justify the purchase. 3 minutes every couple days takes care of things. I seriously doubt that I would have remained as diligent if shaving had become a half hour ritual. Sometimes 99% is good enough.
Try headblade have been using for about 18 months, quick easy and almost impossible to cut your self
Agreed. Using the Andis is much easier, if done every couple of days regularly, than having to deal with the shaving cream and razors. Mine gives me a smoother shave than what I can typically get from a razor, anyway.
@@craigkarimalbasri4317 I'm still wondering why trimmers in general
Haven't been able to cut as close as these when they have been out since like '80s
Tech in other things has advanced a lot why are trimmers still stuck it seems or is it companies know how to make them cut closer but choose not to
When you say small do you mean by touch or feel
I still say no other machine beats a braun when it comes to electric head shaving. That moddle trimmer for longer hairs is the best, I can plow through 5 days growth with my series 9 like butter. The final result is blade close feel... it just doesnt last as long. Nice review though!
If someone wants to try one of these without buying one they are the standard at most barber shops, you can usually get a full head foil shave for $20-$30.
you cant beat a razor shave in the shower, its super quick and simple
As a beginner shaver… and practicing barber* this is so much easier and time consuming. Learning to shave w/o cutting and the back of the head (especially w a lumpy dome)
Worst thing about being bald is how companies try to steal your money as if being bald isnt miserable enough
I love been bald best thing I have ever done
How is it miserable? This is basically a bald positivity channel, I don’t think a lot of bald people here will share your view lol.
Try to see the positives, no bad hair days, fixing hair all the time, money saved from not having to go to a hairdresser/barber and buying hair styling products and so on…and I don’t think rocking the Jason Statham (or any other cool bald guy you could name) look is miserable…
No bad hair days for sure. You can also throw away getting smiles from hot models as well. I found having a hair system makes me look younger and I still pull hot women. I couldn’t do that when I was balding
@@SkankHunt3000 because you where _balding_ not _bald_ that‘s a difference. Balding with no confidence is way less attractive than a confident bald man, a hair system is just a lie to yourself and everyone around you, including the women you “pull”…you think the women that only take you with your fake hair will stick around once your hair system comes off?
I use razors one shaves legs with, 6 razors for less than $2.00, throw razor away after 1 use. Remove hair with a toothbrush after shaving 1/2 quadrant head to prevent nicking head. Throw toothbrush away after 2-3 weeks shaving head every 2 days; 6 toothbrushes for $1.00. Aedin
I have that unit and your evaluation is spot on. It’s great for cleaning up a client’s neckline but for a full daily head shave like what you and I do, it’s not that great.
Thanks for sharing!!
Shave a trimmers first.
I would highly recommend getting the Babyliss Pro foil shaver over this Andis!
The Babyliss is a lot more powerful so can cut longer hair (can go longer between cuts if you want to), the foils last significantly longer before needing to be replaced (cheaper to run) and I prefer the build quality of it too - although some will prefer the lighter plastic of the Andis. ✌️
Which version do you use? There are multiple variations of the Pro?
@@goldenTym Babyliss Pro Titanium Dual Foil Shaver
@@sammy_sam_leonardocan you recommend me any completely shaver like the wahl vanish shaver
It's also quite a bit more expensive over 100 dollars that's alot for a shaver
@@guildensteinfoutch6232 true; but, cheaper to run as the foils need replacing a bunch less often in my experience.
I use andis foil shaver for my head and it is the best thing I've found- no burns or ingrown hairs or irritation. Key is to shave every other day and to go a little bit slower on the first pass against the grain. Usually takes approx. 10 mins. and you can easily listen and hear if you have cut all stubble. Best tool for head shaving in my opinion, if done correctly.
Yeah as I mentioned in the vid I can see the application for this being best for someone who wants to go over their head every/every other day 👍
@@Baldcafe Very smooth shave, and painless done every other day. Also best with short, deliberate strokes.
This looks great compared to the Wahl. Mine sucks. I’m going to get one of these.
I love using a traditional Merkur safety razor on my head. Close shave and a good skill to learn.
I use the Babyliss Pro Foil Shaver and really, really like it. I can do multiple passes comfortably (if needed) without any irritation. More expensive than the Andis though, but higher quality.
I have the same, use it every day very happy
Just the video i needed the most, tks bc
Nice review! I missed them. Also I really feel your opinion about it. Would love to use something like this for a quick and easy shave but it seems to be to harsh on the skin. Also I think I would make it in nearly the same time with a blade. Thanks.
the product by design is for finishing touches...not really meant to mow down thick hair
Correct
I just bought Braun series 7 with cleaning station from Wal Mart. I love shaving with a razor but my schedule is becoming busier and I like to shave almost every day. Many times I was rushing to finish the shave, rushing in the shower, etc... With the foil shaver I am done in less than 10 minutes. With the razor I could take over 30 minutes if I wanted to get everything perfect
shave your head in the shower, its a 2min job at best
same here, if I want a perfect clean shave it takes half an hour with razor blade… also I have a small mole on my head so I have to be careful, while with an electric shaver I can go over it.
I have the Babyliss FX3 shaver, that thing puts in WORK! But the Pitbull Gold Pro is the fastest closest shave ive had so far...so convenient except i bricked it just by charging it.
Use a good trimmer first for few days growth hair, then foil shaver for the balding. Maybe someone in your region can get you a few Trimmers to try like: TPOB X Trimmer, Wahl Cordless Detailer, Andis GTX-EXO Cordless Li Skeleton Trimmer, Babyliss Pro Snap FX Skeleton Trimmer, JRL 2020T.
Have this, cons - it is very noisy and you have to go over a good few times to get smooth, not quick. Pros - unlike a wet shave there is no redness and it leaves a natural matt skin finish rather than the high shine of a blade, good for low fade finishing off but not as a stand alone shaver.
Loving the beardstache mate
Thanks bud
OK, so, I have finally shaved my head for the first time, at 42. Hair was a few inches from my bum, but I did it for charity (Movember, prostate cancer), at an event called Prostskate 2 that my roller derby team organised. So yes, I am now 11 day in to a shaved head, and must say my head shape was nothing to worry about :)
Anyway, to the video, I can't believe this went up literally hours after I purchased a babyliss pro titanium foil shaver. I'd been back and forth as to whether I should go with electric or razor, but I suppose I can now at least give it a go :). Just really wanted more reviews of some of these 'barber' shavers before I shot the money at it.
But oh well, we shall see how things go...I may not even use it, and grow my ever balding hair again, or, maybe go with the Floki long hair cut that I've wanted to try for a few years...At least I know my head doesn't look like a thumb when bald now though :)
I'm either going to get a foil or a leaf thorn.
Though I don't understand bald blokes who don't shave everyday.
I learned with mine that this is for daily use. 2 days of growth is okay but pushing it a little.
Great work!!
Thank you
I've tried different foil shavers like this and my Braun Series 7 is easily better. Shave was faster, smoother, didn't miss any hairs and cleanup was easier, just using the Cleaning Station it comes with. Those stations eventually break down but I have backup.
A great daily shaver. If I have a few days' growth, I use my Remington RX5 first, then finish off with the Andis. Yes, wet shave will always be best - but having shaved my head for 20 years, this is a close second.
Had a bad experience with this and other foil shavers they do tend to get hot. Only electric shaver I don’t mind is skull shaver rocking that 3 years now love it
I shave my head with a razor first then use the Andis. It makes it so smooth
can you do a breakdown of shavers in each price point? would like to see how they perform, i think youve done a similar vid in the past
The Remington ones are the best RX5/7👍
I have a similar wahl finale; I use the Philips one blade first, then the wahl. I can use the wahl alone but has to be every 2 days max
I'm a barber. If you buy a professional clipper for home use, it will last forever. The foil blades would probably last a year or two before you would want to shave them. The big thing that gets left out is a proper clipper spray. Whichever clippers you're using a quality clipper spray (approx £10-£20) will enhance the performance and longevity of your clippers at home ✌️
Clippers that give a baby smooth shave? Which ones? If I go more than a couple of days between shaves, I will use the clippers to get hair down to 0 and then the Andis takes it to smooth. Best combination I have found. I was spending too much on razors and the hassle of shaving cream was a bit discouraging.
@@craigkarimalbasri4317 These days I use Babyliss pro lithium. They're very good, and they have a proper top to protect the foils so you can put them in a bag and not worry. I have used a set of the andis ones for years and they were pretty good. At work we'd always cut the hair down to a day or twos growth before foiling. (Which you already do but may have helped the man in the video).
A barber friend of mine uses a cheap Remington 'skull shaver' type clipper on himself and he's had fantastic results. I don't know about the longevity of the clipper though. I would just make sure they're always oiled and buy the extra warranty so you can take them back for a new set if they pack up.
I’ve used a Braun Series 9 razor with great success. I have really sensitive skin and it works well. I’ve used some pre-shave that works pretty well, I believe it’s called Speick pre-shave. I’m curious to know what clipper spray the fellow above uses as well, and how it’s used. Is it on the foil/equipment/clippers itself, or on my face/head?
@@glassmw9823 Hi sorry, I've only just seen your question.
I used 'Andis cool care' or
'Clippercide' clipper oil, it's used on the clippers themselves to clean and oil the blades.
I use babyliss pro foil at work. It's the best I've tried and it has a proper cap to protect the foils if you need to put them in a bag 👍
@@craigkarimalbasri4317 I use Babyliss pro foils but Andis are pretty similar (I've had both). Maybe switch to Babyliss when they wear out 👍
Even with a blade, four days of growth would require too many passes. For me, four days growth requires an electric trimmer to take it down to .25mm before using any shaver / razor.
Just wann say thank you... i tried the leaf twig and was worried as i have cvg but you said one blade would be the way to go and you were so right.,, plus the bloody astra blades are brill, use them on me face too!
Glad I could help and that you found a great shaving solution brother 👍 I’ve been using mine quite a bit recently also.
Ask a pro barber how they treat your skin and hair type. Bring that method for home use. Maybe a combo of a Gentler brand trimmer a smaller single or reg double foil shaver to hit in-between those more difficult hairs to remove.
I have the Andlis and try to use it every other day to keep head bald otherwise i need to use a trimmer before using this and need to go over the same spots over and over but defo worth it
from your vids Purchased the beaun series 5, but they inreased the price on head replacement. so i settled for the leaf shave leaf razor with atra blades. the leaf shave is my favourite. then the braun is for if im out of town
nice moustache👍looks cool
I was considering buying this but not now.. Thanks for the review. Will stick with wet shaving
Glad it helped brother 👍
This was a dogshit review where he used the product incorrectly. It's much better than this and if used the way it's intended is a very very good piece of kit.
I enjoy using the freebird as my shaver of choice in between razor shaves
Haven’t heard of that one. I’ll have a Google
@@Baldcafe it works well especially for the price
Thanks for the review. I recently purchased an “off brand” electric shaver, Wycliffe. It does ok but not razor smooth. From what I can gather, this might be the closest thing to a razor. My wife hates the shaved head, which makes it that much more fun for me, lol. Seriously, I have terrible hair, spotty baldness on top, looks like a flesh tone yamuka, looks better shaved.
i neglected my hair for 2 years straight, no touching no combing, next thing i know i'm falking balding, and its only been downhill from there, thanks for showing me how to deal with it properly
Don’t go beating yourself up thinking your experiencing hair loss due to your lack of touching and combing pal 👍
after getting used to wet shaving those electric shavers actually take me longer and cause more irritation
Same bro
I had it and I ended up selling it.. The result is good but to me its way more comfortable use a razor. Specially down in the back of my head I always had an uncomfortable irritation and i had to stop using it there and use the razor so.. it was easier to just use the rasor everywhere.
As for electric shavers I have. Braun Series 9. It’s good. Not as close as a razor shave but works when I need to shave quicker. Anyone else think this as well?
Yes. Braun 9 best electric I've used
I have this Andis shaver and i am bald and have tryed to shave my head with it and it wasnt strong enough. Its not ment for head shaves its ment for fading hair cuts and your stubble beard. I use it and brought it to clean up the upper cheeks of my beard and it does a fantastic job and is nearly as close as a razor.
If you want the best head shaver go for a Skull Shaver by far the best head shaver on the market and i have tryed lots of head shavers give the Andis a miss
If you run with the grain of the hair first pass, it hurts a bit less going against the grain as it debulks it a little!
My Andis (original grey and brown/purplish) become faulty just after a year. Cable no longer stays in (very loose). In addition to this battery doesn’t hold charge for more than 5 secs. So you have to use it with the cable in and given the cable is loose so you’re fighting two battles. I wouldn’t purchase another one. On a positive there’s plenty of reputable other foil shavers on the market now.
yet to find anything that beats a series 9 as far as close'ness and no irritation goes
I treat it like a wet shave though and combine it with TEND Air Shave gel (won't find anything better for preventing irritation too)
Which electric shaver would you recommend for a 0.5 - 0 cut. I'm currently 0.5 but wanted the option of going shorter without having a razor cut?
5:51That back shot though ! Absolute brick house and a half of a man
Wetshaving is twice as fast, 5 times more efficient and 10x cheaper 😅
Electric is way faster in my experience (I shave hair and beard)
Duh! But some people get irritation from razors
You should try the babyliss pro foil….
Any basic shaver under £30 or $35 will last a person 3 years plus. Without paying for any replacement products. That's from my experience
Dude, I watch all your videos, I'm not and not going bald, luckily I have all my hair but I love to shave or shave my head hahaha Can you try the absolute zero gamma shaver? In my country Chile 🇨🇱 the Andys shaver costs 10-15 dollars less than the gamma shaver but the gamma came with replacement blades (the internal ones)
I'll stick to my Babyliss pro skeleton trimmer, much faster and when zero gapped cuts very close.
It’s supposed to do finishing jobs so doing a big surface is like doing 5 touch ups worth per head probably more also it’s going to get dull faster
Harry, your look is Tom Hardy as Bronson!
I bought Babyliss FX3. I use it to shave my head. It shaves basically like a razor blade - the head is as smooth as a "dolphin". Compared to Andis - FX3 has a more powerful engine and shaves faster. It deals better with thick hair at the back of the head. Babyliss FX2 does not shave as close as FX3. FX3 is better in this respect - I saw a video on UA-cam showing how smooth it is after using FX3. And FX2 left tiny hair ends visible. Braun Series 9 does not shave as close to the skin as all the foil shavers mentioned above. So if someone wants to have a smooth head like a dolphin - I highly recommend Babyliss FX3
Going by your review I’m taking it that it got as close a cut as the Braun series 9 review that you done . And if so if you had the choice of the two which one would you choose . Thx
Braun 9 all day 👍
Bought the black 2 days ago for 35 Ebay comes nezt month
I use a styliner for lining and now want to get that extra hair off so I won't have to shave almost every day so thought why not get one of these
I'm still wondering why trimmers in general
Haven't been able to cut as close as these when they have been out since like '80s
Tech in other things has advanced a lot why are trimmers still stuck it seems or is it companies know how to make them cut closer but choose not to
I have a Profoil and, for me, it's great for edged, tidying up, bits you've missed or cleaning up a beard line. But for doing an entire head it takes too long, gets too hot, and just isn't suited well for it. Shame, because it's the closest electric shave I've ever had.
It's been a couple of years since you reviewed the Braun series 9. Is it better than this? Is it worth the cost comparably?
Braun 9 much better
I have issues with razors on my skin. Even thinking of it is a hard no for me. I need a shaver or even electric clippers for my head but not breaking the bank....just want a close cut every few days or so. Any suggestions would be great.
Honestly go with a pair of hair clippers. No guard on them just a 0 guard buzz cut every 3/4 days. Absolute least amount of discomfort on the scalp and still a nice close cut. I recently got the WAHL home pro corded for like £14 and they are great.
@@Baldcafe thanx!
Thoughts on Panasonic Arc 5? Thanks.
U look better with the clean shaved head and the full beard
You seem to prefer the braun over this but is it because it's really better or because it it shave your 4 days growth faster? I'm a daily user I don't plan to use it once a week.
Braun gives a more comfortable shave for sure
You should have used a clippers first to get rid of most of that growth first then go over it with the shaver… ur kinda over working the shaver
I had one of these and found it really unpleasant to use. Incredibly loud, and the heat/irritation was too much!
What did you end up doing with it?
I think foils are only for very very short hair, like a day or 2 maximum
Very impressive
Channelling that Charles Bronson energy.
I like the mustache. I’m waiting for mustaches to come back in style. I’m sick of beards. I’ve been clean shaven my whole life. I remember in the 1980’s seems like every guy had a mustache. Anyway I tried electric & don’t like them. I’ll stick with good old Mach 3
Could you do a video on realistic wigs for men?
What do you want to know about them exactly?
@@Baldcafe Whether they’re a viable option to deal with baldness. I suspect they look too obviously fake, but perhaps they’re a lot more convincing nowadays.
Could it have been low battery that caused it to struggle a little on the thicker parts ??
No, I charged it for 3+ hrs out of the box as instructed
PROBABLY GOTTA USE SOME SHAVING CREAM TO MOISTURIZE YOUR HEAD EASILY
Nothing cuts like a razor i respect electronical clippers but it doesn't get it as close
Any video for remington rx7?
Yep - ua-cam.com/video/L8ss76bSXME/v-deo.htmlsi=lHYEkM_fsi8U0-kH
Hit the nail on the head, so to speak, when you mentioned using it after 36 hours. I have the Andis and if I let it go for more than 2 days, it is a lot of work to get that clean shave. If you use it daily, it works great and no nicks and cuts as you can get from razor. My Andis, if used daily gives me a MUCH smoother shave than a razor. Your test shave was done after 4 days.....way too much for the Andis.
I bang out fades with these to skin it off, recentl ywent bald and I use this but after using it everyday it has messed my skin up, way too much irritation and its sore a hell, red dots and everything bumps its mad. I replaced the blades cartridge everything but its the same its too much so i just bought the braun series 9 pro+, hopefully it will ok
Could you tell us how it went for you with the braun. . I used many electric razors but I always have to go back to wet shave or else every other day I get bumps. Only wet shaving seems to work for me.
aint gunna lie its the smoothest shave ever!!! I love it and im 4 shaves in, no bumps no soreness nothing just clean shave
@@bacardicrew4 shave in a week and no bumps? Impressive. Thanks for your feedback.
I shaved 2 days in a row then gave it a day then again and then again in a few days. Whole head, back on neck, my neck, nothing is sore just smooth bro
Any tips on avoiding irritation above ears and neck?
Don’t press too hard with the shaver and do as few passes as possible
I should add I also have this problem with electric shavers
@@Baldcafe thanks for the quick reply, I'll try that cheers!
Should've taken it down some before you used the foil shaver.
I’ll stick with my Leaf!
I've switched to foils mate much easier tbh
Hey as a barber and bald guy lol this is not a bad critique btw just info on how to use them, shaver for barber shops tend to be used after using a trimmer or a 000-00000 blade, that way the shaver doesn’t force too much and it’s smoother after 4 days I would recommend shaver with a small trimmer in the middle like the SC Flex ($90) Andis ReSurge ($90) and very high end but extremely good is the Brain Series 9 ($200 ish) hope this helps, great review!
You look pretty cool with a bald head in my opinion. Have you ever thought about getting SMP treatment done? Help to restore your hairline.
Hell NO to smp. I am tattooed from the top of my shaved head down to my toes. But I like being BALD on top with a big beard. Why would anyone like to look all of his life like he overslept this morning and had to skip 11:23 the morning body ritual?
I'm with you brother-lee. It's the blade for me for time, effort and effectiveness. Love to see that big beard make a return for a while... :)
I'm still wondering why trimmers in general
Haven't been able to cut as close as these when they have been out since like '80s
Tech in other things has advanced a lot why are trimmers still stuck it seems or is it companies know how to make them cut closer but choose not to
U can normal barbers electric head shaver alot more cheaper and don't have to change blade
It's a personal thing! Use what your comfortable with and what you like, I'll personally stick with my pit bull,!!
