Greg, I just started following you. I was so tired of “chasing” my hair that I decided to go bald. I was apprehensive about cutting what hair I had completely off, but the daily disappointment of looking at it pushed me into a change. I didn’t know how to start, so UA-cam was guide. I found you and a couple others who showed me how to get started. Thank you. Your opinions on products are something that I needed to get a positive beginning on my change. The electric razor “bald buddy” is perfect. It makes the process fast and easy. It’s well made and worth the cost. Thanks again.
Thanks, I’m glad you found this useful
It's nice to shave my head and plus it's very low maintenance
A t blade razor is 0.1mm. And you can fiddle about with the blades to get it closer.
Great stuff, amazing product! extremely easy and quick to use.
Finally was able to purchase the bald buddy, thanks for the discount 👍 in the fall through spring I don't razor shave my head, due to wearing a hat with frequent shaving it does irritate my scalp.
I've used it 3 times since this Saturday. I love! This thing. Yes it's not razor skin smooth. But very close to it & extremely even. Super easy zero irritation. It wastes the brio zero blade. I used that last year I like it but yeah lots of gentle scrapes all over my head it get very close, not as close as bald buddy.
Its excellent!
Great videos Greg I just got my bald buddy and so far I'm liking it a lot thank you
I'm 52 and recently started going bald but have buzz cut my scalp since i was about 14 as here in UK barbers were expensive and still are. Might look into this as want something quick to go over my head as clippers then wet shave takes a wee while. Thanks for the heads up and will look into this Baldy Buddy.
I have just purchased a curved blade clipper (Remington) made specifically for shaving the head. When it inevitably dies on me, I will seriously consider purchasing this one. Thanks for a great and informative video.
Picked this up a week ago. Two passes with get it very smooth. Takes 10 minutes. I prefer wet with conditioner or sensitive shaving cream. Very good, and prevents bumps
Just buy it guys! I'm personally really impressed, and the time savings is just plain better than straight razors. Not to mention Joshua from Cut Buddy is active and willing to offer help or answer questions online. There's ample reasons to justify the cost of the replacement heads too
Nice review 👍🏿!I just ordered today
I've made the decision to shave it all off before it looks like I'm in denial and that shaver is one I'm considering. Great video
Mine just arrived today it was supposed to be here September 8th but it arrived early I can't wait to use it
Man!! I really enjoy your tutorials well actually all your video's. So thanks for taking the time to put content out there just know its appreciated.
Thank you so much!
I just bought this today and you're right, this gave me a nice clean shave. Thanks for the review 💯💯
I’m glad it worked out. Thanks for letting me know!
Wow. Great video Greg. I'm definitely interested.
Yeah man, this thing far exceeded my expectations
I tried one today for the first time (different brand) and it is a total game changer!
Very cool Sir going to check if available to SA market now 👏🏻
This is great!
Thanks for the review, I’ve been looking at head shavers for the past few weeks. This made me pull the trigger and get this one.
I hope you enjoy it
Just got one, I love it!!
Still using it, how’s it held up ?
Nice! Its so smooth all thats left is applying some Turtle Wax and buffing with a cloth diaper.
Great review! What would you suggest to prevent razor bumps or irritation?
Can’t wait bro get mines
Thanks man, i like the feel after shaving with the bowling ball smooth but do like the idea of something quick
I know what you mean.
Skull shaver and similar products have been around for a while now but ive never pulled the trigger on trying one out
I know Remington also make a very very similar product
I like your video on shaving with moisturizing conditioner I actually tried it and got a nice smooth shave
I like The video you shows u using a Razor, closer shave,with Milk Coconut Conditoner..
My wife just bought me one! It’s amazingly smoothe loving it 👍👍
I like the video you do with the straight razor 4 blades and Milk Coconut Conditioner i get a closer shave..it may take a little longer but i perfer your other video for closeness
Looks cool, but wonder how much replacement blades would be? Remember from my Norelco days that those circular blades could be pretty expensive.
Thank you.👍
Good for my back too.
Very much appreciate
Thx for the informative vids! In your opinion which electric razor do you find to be the best?
ya i try my ele razor dry last night . i agree with u . not great i evan try a 4 blade razor . was some better but got several NICK. yikes . i just had my hair cut after almost 3 years ya . i was bald 4 too then let all go for almost 3 years . now back to this . summmer is HOT and HUMID here in new york state i am about 40 miles from buffalo .ny near Lake Erie..
Just bought one. They should be giving you money. Their sales are growing because of this video, and others like it.
I just got mine today from target.. let me tell you game changer 🔥🔥💯💯
Purchased....will let you know how it goes.
As someone who is follicly challenged and constantly wet shave my head I'm impressed how much is it in the UK as I'm getting tired of foaming my head for a smooth clean shave kind regards Martin
Hi...VERY nice review!!! Can this be used while in the shower? How does this shaver compare with the Remington Baldy ( I believe that's what it's called)? I'm torn between which I should purchase. Many thanks mate! 🙏♐
Hi, good video, thanks!, is there an intermmidiate option between shaver and clippers in terms of cut lenght? or are any shavers out there that have adjustable cut lenght? i'm not looking for a closer shave, actually looking for a longer cut from a shaver....any recommendations are appreciated
I just saw this product in Wal-Mart after buying the Norelco Shaver 5000, im taking the Norelco back, and going to buy this..
Save yourself a little money through their site

Looks just like the bulldog but with a different handle. Would be interesting to see a comparison
This!
I am in the middle off laser hair removal on the dome and while I usually shave every 3 days or so, being a truck driver sometimes I get stuck out a few days more than I like. With laser removal I am even patchier so I need something I can do quickly and on the go. This looks like a great alternative. I am picking one up from Walmart. Thanks for the review!
How did the laser hair removal go?
@@Vexrak I had 8 treatments ... I started with half a head with my receding hair line. The half they zapped is only half clear. I wasn't seeing nearly as much removed and they zapped my beard being careless. I'm back to using this trimmer full time
@Zip_Zero_ZILCH they got your damn beard man?? That's messed up! So the laser stuff didn't work well anyway?
@@getbaked420 she zapped my side burn . I had 5 treatments and still have significant amounts of hair and it was thin and receding anyway.
So I tend to cut myself shaving with a razor. And I'm balding real bad and i don't wanna use a razor. What's been the best head shaver you have used? I see mix results on the skull shaver/pittbull. Same for the freedom shaver. I know Barbsole has a head shaver but I have yet to see a review on it. The bald buddy I have seen some soild reviews but still not sold on it.
I just got mine
Great review thanks !!! You totally remind me of John Malkovich!!!
Have you ever used the Panasonic ARC 5 or Braun S9 foil electric shavers? I can't imagine a closer dry shave. Just almost as close as the 5 blade razor like the tutorial you gave...
I shaved my head for the first time with the conditioner today and it helped a ton compared to shaving cream. I am using the cheapest disposable razors though, which are not good at all. I would totally buy one of these after I get the moles removed off my head. Scared it would nick the hell out of them.
I have a friend that has moles and skin tags on his head and he shaves it. I always wonder how he does it.
nice video greg
Thank you
I'm the same - I've tried electric razors on my head occasionally and all I got was irritated skin with uneven stubble. I've been using the old fashioned straight razors (not the disposable blade ones) for years (dare I say decades...) and I have that down to under a few minutes, but all the other palava that goes with it - stropping the razor, making lather with the badger brush, cleanup, drying the blade etc - adds another 5 minutes to the overall process. This looks like it could be a great solution for those days, like you said, I am in a rush to get out the door. I will definitely look this up.
If you had to compare the smoothness of the result, where would it sit? Like how it feels a few hours after wet-shaving with a blade?
The way you clean it by running it with the cutting deck under water reminds me of how I clean my lawn tractor cutting deck! lol.
Yeah, you may end up really liking this. I assume that not everybody would feel the same but it kind of caught me by surprise.
I’m the complete opposite. I can’t use razors on my head it gets irritated, the electric shaver is what I use without issues
Hi! How long until you have replace the knives? Searching for something new because the Philips one blade knives really should be replaced quickly
Good review...but love my Bulldog.
I just used this for the first time a little while ago and I thought it would snag because my hair is thick but it didn’t snag a single time. Then I started to trust it more and started to go faster. I really like it. Feels good too 😊
That’s good to hear!
I got the Bald Buddy. It's the best. I'm disabled and unable to stand at the sink. I use it on my face as well. I've thrown out all of my other razors.
I’m glad to hear you like it so much!
When my dad used to shave his head I would shave his head with a Braun series 3 310s and use warm water or OGX conditioner and it would be smooth. Occasionally I would use a Gillette Mach 3 with just OGX conditioner. You should try the 310s and it’s affordable. Thanks for all the tips
I'll look into it
Try braun series 9 they are the best
Are you going to review the Brio Raze review?
Greetings Sir- Thank you for your videos. They are helpful and encouraging. One point of clarification before I make this purchase. Do you treat your head with anything before? Conditioner? Do you treat with the same lotion afterward that you use after you use a razor? I checked all the comments to see if this was addressed but did not see anything.
I just make sure my heard is clean bore shaving and since the making of this video I’ve started using their after shave butter that is available. It’s pretty nice.
How much does the blades cost that you have to change? What’s in a while?
Hi again, just watched your review of this shaver. Is the shave as smooth as with a razor, or does it leave you with a kind of peach fuzz? Thanks.
No, there is no electric shaver that can do that, unfortunately. What you have left is about what you might have one day after you shave with a razor. But that's just my comparison. I don't know how much that would differ with a woman, if at all.
Would you say how close to the skin did it get? I don’t like feeling any hair on my head other still be some stubble??
The andis works best for me…. I usually only use my Andis when im in a rush and can’t to jump in the shower .
Would this work going over moles? I got a couple that are raised. New to the head shave
The rotary style shavers just worry me. I’m nervous they will pull. I use a brain series 9 on my head and it’s great just takes awhile. I think I’ll try this one
How does it last long-term the battery? I bought piece of junk skull shaver when they first came out they wouldn't recharge after 3 months wasted all that money and replacement blades want to know if you had it for a long time
believe it or not I always get better result with electric shaver in my head shaves compare to razors ! while this is inverse in face shave for me !
but the process is way longer ! it take me at least 30 minutes to give myself a nice perfect and even head shave with electric shaver but with blade it's not gonna go more than 10_15 but I can say I never cut myself with electric razor and less irritation !
I have yet to find a rotary shaver that works, they all give me horrible irritation and a patchy shave. I've tried everything from the top of the line skull shaver pitbull, to the Remington rx8, to the freedom shaver, to cheap imports. Foil shavers are vastly superior to rotary, I'm partial to Braun.
What about the maintenance? Need to oil the blades I presume or it needs to be changed / replaced after a while.
The instructions indicate that as a general rule of thumb, it would be a good idea to replace the blades/heads every 3 months
@@GregBoswell428 TQ
Greg, I'm curious which Electric's you've tried for comparison?
I have had similar questionable results (like you cite) with the standard ones that are design for the face, like my Dad's Norelco's.
But there are ones other than this built for the head specifically. My brother got me a "Skull Shaver" also known by it's model brand "Pitbull" that worked a lot better than the face ones. I've also seen a similar one to that called "Freedom Grooming", and one or two others. The Skull Shaver has a few of the features you talk about in Bald Buddy and a different handle.
However, none of the ones I've tried create the full same effect as standard blade. Maybe my stubble just grows in faster than those that like it, or maybe I'm just too much of a perfectionist, I don't know. So I'm curious for a full comparison of those designed specifically for the head to see if there's significant difference.
I will agree though, there's a potential time and irritation savings if you can be satisfied with what these electrics do. I have picked up using the one my Brother got me 3-4 days a week during the work week and just dealing with the fact a few areas don't come out as smooth as I like, which helps get me to the office on time. But before a hot date I still feel like I need a real blade.
Yeah, it's been so long ago (I've been shaving my head for @20 years) that I can't accurately recall the makes and model of the electric shavers I had used. I dont even own them anymore.
No, you won't get the same effect as a razor. It's just not possible with any electric shaver. However, what I noticed is that I got absolutely no irritation of the skin and it was the most even cutting shaver I've ever used. It really surprised me.
The way the 5 heads move and pivot I'm sure had a lot to do with it. It's something I plan on using during the week while still using a razor on the weekend.
I'll have to say, it did leave my head looking really nice, though.
I come to this type of shaving due a lots of cuts on my head . Im hoping to minimiize my cuts by using an electric razor.
Bought mine two days ago I love it, also shave my face with it. Best shave in 65 years
That’s great to hear!
It still cant beat a blade shave....its good for in between shaves but you need to wait to have more than stubble. a razor works better because it simple gets closer. This is good if you are in a hurry and want to clean up to look presentable...these aren't meant to replace a razor shave....no matter who makes them or how much they cost. I've had $29 ones all the way up to over $100 and they all do the same thing!
Some people may find it adequate as a reply. It really depends on what you’re willing to live with. However, I do make it very clear that no electric shaver can get as close as a razor.
Greg, have you tried the SkullShaver and/or The BaldiePro by Groomie? I'm wondering how either stack up to the Bald Buddy.
I’ve never tried them
@@GregBoswell428 Bummer. I'm torn between the 3, as I haven't mastered the HeadBlade.
There's quite a few of these on the market, what makes this different from a skullshaver or a remington head shaver?
Ergonomic handle rides head like buffer. Remington and Skull Shaver you hold like a ball and push along head. The ergonomics allows the hand and wrist to be more relaxed. When the hand and wrist are not as relaxed that's when you get an uneven cut and could cause irritation. We are also ore affordable and give part proceeds to veteran's with disabilities. Skull Shaver is great. As far as power, blades, battery it's it's same as ours... Remington and Freedom are kinda knick offs. I'd go with a Skull Shaver before a Remington. All in all it all comes down to regimen. Without pre-exfoliation and after treatment, you increase risk ingrown hairs or burn.
@@TheCutBuddy thanks for the reply. I may indeed purchase one, do you ship to the UK? I've followed Greg for a while now and if he says its good, it's good! Cheers
Guys...shave your damn head. I'm 6'5 with a very square jaw and fair skin. I always just thought I would have too intense of a look going fully skin-bald. I would shave my head with clippers maybe twice per month through my late 20's. For no reason at all, I spent this period of my life looking 15 years older than I was. No reason. Bald looks younger. Bald looks better.
Which cartridge razor for head is the best Godbless you always and your family.
This, amzn.to/3OH1FYD
Head shave club guys, head shave club.
Practical, precise, reliable.
How does this compare with other similar shavers on the market? I can’t seem to be able to find the Bald Buddy in Canada.
If you can't get that one, try the Brio Raze Head Shaver - bit.ly/beardlessandbearded (code GREG to save 10%)
@@GregBoswell428 thanks. I ended up buying another one that you reviewed on your channel. The Kensen something or other. Good value for the money and so far I like it.
Still not quite accustomed to my new look. It's only been about 2-3 weeks so far.
How many times have you had to replace the blades? And are you still using it since this video?
I’ve never had to replace the heads yet but then again I dropped my shaver and broke it somehow, so I haven’t used it in awhile
Can you use the OGX conditioner with these kinds of skull shavers as a wet shave option?
I’m sure you probably could. I don’t see why not.
@@GregBoswell428 Just wondering if it would clog up the shaver or not …..
Do we get this in Europe?
The description on the site says it's designed for coarse hair, is this shaver okay for folks with not so coarse hair?
I would assume so
The real question is how long will it stay sharp.
How smooth does electric razors get the head? I wet shave and like the feel of a smooth head.
No electric shaver is as smooth as a razor. It gets close enough to my liking and allows me to take a break from the blade once in awhile. I figure it leaves minimal stubble similar to what you have on your head after 12 hours when you’ve used a blade
So where can I get one Greg!!
There’s a link in the description.
Just bought it for 51$ at Walmart . Gonna try it when I get home
Update , returning it . I shaved my head using the conditioner method and everything went well . Used this and still got the same irritation as if I went to the barber and used a trimmer . Completely irritated not sure if I used it wrong but I did exactly as u did round circles and could barely pick anything up . Pretty annoyed as my head is red on the sides and back so I’ll stick to the shaving with conditioner and will bring this back to Walmart for my money back
Sorry to hear that. I can't be sure but you may have been trying to get too close of a shave and simply overdid it.
Think it’s because I was new to shaving . I’m 6 months into being bald and still exploring ways to keep a smooth shave . As well as growing my beard out for the first time . I enjoy your videos
Is this better than the skull shaver and other electric headshavers?
I don’t know. Never tried the Skull Shaver
Available in UK? Or can it be shipped to.uk?
I’m not really sure about that. You might want to ask them at cutbuddy.com
What a coincidence I was just watching her video about bald headed guys being SEXY and this is how I found your videos. Great tutorials and thanks for the TIPS. 👍
Who are you talking about? I don’t recall.
Thanks for watching! I really appreciate it.
"Courtney Ryan" I was Watching her video when I bumped into your tutorial. Very good tips by the way....... Keep the GOOD WORK. 👍

I’m glad you found my tips helpful.
@@kicosoto6731 If you don't mind my asking, which video was it so that I can look it up? I'm very curious.
Should I get one of these or a foil razor?
I’ve never used a foil razor
How smooth does it make your head.
Very, very light stubble
Can you use this for leg shaving
They say yes
I’m used to shaving in the shower. Says “wet”. How wet? Is this shaver waterproof?
It’s fine in the shower and under a faucet. It’s not something you just want to submerge
Does this catch the clippings?
Yes
Is the center head real or just a dummy head with the four outer heads being real?
It’s real and removable
@@GregBoswell428 Nice. My Temu one has a fake center head. Unit still works great though!
The wall 5 star gets way closer
how do I get replacement blades
Just go to thecutbuddy.com
They have replacement heads for $14.99
I find them hard to clean out, hair gets stuck in the blades
Thank you. You have educated me. I love your tutorials. My head looks so much better Thank you, could you address your entire audience everyone here is not a guy. LOL 😂
Yeah, I do have a small following of women that shave their head .
Thanks for watching! I’m glad it helped.
@@GregBoswell428 I got the bald buddy razor OMG I love it. Thank you so much!!!!
I'm sorry to disagree but I have a couple of em but they take too long to cut my hair. I find it's faster to use my razor.
Cool
Yeah but like he said you can't cut yourself with this you can cut yourself with a razor I have this thing and I love it it's great no complaints whatsoever
Would you like an tip if you willing to grow your hair just for 3 months for an better volume to your hair?
