Hi.. thank you so much for all info. Question re: 3 blade.. Do you have to go through that same type maintenance as you presented in regards to the 4 blade? I have seen some type (Now can't remember what), where you rinse and go.. Thanks for any extra help. I know I don't need to get the 5 blade for sure and am iffy on the 4. In your opinion is the 3 just as good and exactly what was it called again? Tysm!
The most annoying atm from the skull shaver is the replacement blades are out of stock all the time. And amazon is selling 50% above rrp. Got the oitbukk gold pro
I've had mine (Pitbull Gold) for over 2 years of me shaving both face and scalp 2-3 times a week. It has already given me my money's worth and if it were to break down today, I'd happily buy a new one. I've never had a better shaver.
Hallo Mike, I've literally just come across your review as I've been researching whether or not to get a Skullshaver. I'm sold! As a black man with very sensitive skin, I'm prone to horrid razor bumps and rashes if I'm not careful. This product sounds ideal for me. Definitely the Baron blades for me. Thanks Mike, this has been really useful for me.
please let me know how you get on with the baron blades. it is really smooth and kind to the head and face but as it is a less aggressive shave it might take longer to do than a more aggressive blade that could irritate
Hi there, I am a Black Man and I've been using this for nearly 10 year's and I've no problem whatsoever, so be rest assured that if you buy it, you won't have any regrets whatsoever. Cheers 🥂
I'm a 31 year old male with a wicked a beard and an absolute terrible hairline. So I was like screw it. I'm gonna shave my head and rock a badass beard. I first had the Remington head shaver... Had it for 6 months and liked but 3 months into it, it just didn't seem to cut as well as I thought it would. I found this razor because a family friend dad got it and got the gold right away and just got mine tonight and omg I absolutely love this thing!!! I'm sooo happy. Shaved my head my whole head in 4.5 min. Absolutely love and will recommend to everyone I know whose bald. Absolutely love your review sir and the cleaning tips and advice was absolutely amazing. I did it while watching you do it. Keep up the great work!!
Great stuff Mike, mine just arrived today and it works great. Would like to actually take care of it and keep it in good running order, and your tutorial was excellent and easy to follow. Thanks!
Many thanks for posting this video. I just purchased the Gold version. Never used anything like this before so I'm looking forward to it. Very much appreciate the maintenance and care you demonstrated. I will follow your instructions carefully.
Hi. Great video and very informative on cleaning the Shaver. One small thing. Within the box the kit included a small bottle of oil. The pitbull instructions don’t mention from what I’ve read on how to apply it to the Blades. Can you please advise. Thanks
this seems to be a new addition, so i would suggest a drop of oil on each foil maybe weekly or 2 weeks. Or for a better option use coconut oil and it will also have a anti bacterial effect on the shaver and you
Awesome unboxing demo thanks Mike I Just got one as a gift and wanted to avoid razor burn etc I see just shave with Gel to get used to it and keep it clean for best operating condition Thanks again
Great point! i totally love my skull shaver, i think this is the longest time i have stuck with a shaving system, i used to always switch brands and between savers and razors wet or dry, but now it is skullshaver every time
I’ve bought several blades before but never got oil with them. With this last one, I got a little tube of oil, it says to use one drop on each blade ring. I’d like to find out the correct way myself
for me a do a clean up (new video showing how to extend the blade life ) about once every month or so, i have not found oil necessary. but feel free to use a drop on each head every week if used daily, or maybe use coconut oil as a shaving oil, this will also lube the blades and is anti bacterial and natural.
Thank you for showing me how to take it apart. I accidentally did it on my first shave and then didn’t know the best way to put the back 😅 life saver!!
Mike I must say must skull shaver gold arrived today and I can't believe how well it worked on my face out of the box and I couldn't wait so I had a dry shave and I'm 100% happy with my purchase so thanks brother so I ordered the full package no more unwanted nose or ear hair and I got the three blade as well 😊 😂
Thank you thank you so much. Oh my God I thought I had cleaned it. Took it all apart. Wow what a difference also didn’t know about the new attachments. Thank you very much.
Ive had mine for almost 2 years now I believe. I find mine has started to drain really quickly, like 75% after a fresh charge and one shave. Ive also been noticing that itll shut off on me for no reason, no pushing down too hard and I clean it after every shave. Thoughts?
@@mikesunboxing No I have not, trying to get as much out of them as possible tbh. They still cut well, debated getting some diamond polishing paste to sharpen them as well.
Hi & thanks for the reply, I got the oil wien I bought a replacement Forte blade, I like the idea of using Coconut 🥥 oil, great idea thanks very much 😎👍
give it a go, i like to try and use more natural things were there is an option. the oil is probably some petrochemical thing and probably not great for the skin or liver. But great for blades and motors
Hey Mike , very nice work here. Thanks for the post .. I tend to use air can blow to clean razor , do you think it would be ok for Skull Shaver ? It's quick and easy.
Hello sir. Thanks for the great review. Personally I've been shaving my head for near on 3 years, with a wet razor. I cannot tell you how many different techniques I've tried to prevent red bumps and irritation, due to to fact my skin is extremely sensitive. Been researching the Pitbull Gold for a while now, seems like you are definitely an advocate of it yourself. Off the back of watching your video here I might just get myself one. Thanks again for the great review.
if you do, get the baron blades, they are night and day better for sensitive skin, it takes long to shave as it isn't so rough, but work every penny. I can shave moments before going out or filming and be safe in the knowledge that i won't have razer burn or iratation
@@mikesunboxing man thank you so much for taking the time to reply. I really do appreciate it. I shall certainly take your advice on board. I cannot stress how sensitive my skin is, so your advice is most definitely priceless. I have to say you come across as a very genuine guy, just this trait in itself is what is steering me towards purchasing a Skull Shaver. Thanks again for taking the time to reply.
the foils one drop on each should be enough if you need it. I use a little coconut oil on mine, it is also antiseptic and antibacterial to keep it fresh and clean
Hi Mike, brilliant video fair play, I was wondering if you could help please, I've had my platinum pit bull shaver for a year and all of a sudden the cleaning icon is flashing and I clean it after every use.
not sure what triggers that coming on it might be a timer, or sensing drag on the motor, give it a really good clean with some coconut oil and see if that helps
@@mikesunboxing , Thank you Mike for your rapid response , your videos are great, fairplày, I have subscribed to your channel, for tips if I have to buy another shaver , cheers mate 👍
Love your video. I need to be able to completely disassemble the shaving blades because my curly hair warps around the blades. Will the 4 headed pitbll pro allow the shaver head to completely disassemble for cleaning?
Hi Mike, Great video. My current rotor unit which attaches to the blade unit is damaged. I am happy to upgrade to the Baron unit but does it come with the complete unit including the rotor section or will I need to purchase this separately? Cheers, Malcolm
i have never had oil with any of my skullshavers, but i would advise a drop on each head once a week or maybe after every through clean. I use coconut oil as a shaving balm which works in the same way but is a more natural lubricant and has anti bacterial agents in it.
Received mine end of January. Use it everyday and clean it after every use. Have just started to get one of the foils spinning and can’t seem to get it to stop.
This is brilliant, thanks Mike! I got some lubricating oil with my (official!) SS blades, and I just found and read it and it says "one drop per blade per month" - I notice you not mention the oil, do you not think it's worth it? Cheers
i never had oil in mine and there was no documentation that mentioned the oil or any maintenance required, maybe because i was an early adopter and that was something they added later.
Hi Mike. Greetings from North Carolina. Great video. I just received my Pitbull Gold in the mail today. I noticed it came with some oil as well. I was curious if you oil your blades and if so, what is your routine? I've been shaving my head with a razor since I was 26yo. Im 42 now and this is my first electric shaver so I'm a newbie to this. Thank you for your helpful information.
a drop of oil is a goods idea every now and then, or use coconut oil as a shaving balm and it is naturally anti bacterial so will clena the blades and help your skin
Great vid. Question: I have the (Pitbull Gold Pro) it came with a small bottle of oil. They instruct to put about one drop on each blade before use. Would or have you tried that before? New to your channel. Tu...
i don't use the oil and when i got mine it wasn't included. i clean the blades often and frequently use coconut oil on the blades to lubricate and also to protect my skin and keep it youthful :-)
The three head version silver pro has a 30 min run time, 600mah battery and carver pro blades unlike the Platinum pro and the Gold pro, they come with 90 min run time, 1400mah battery and Forte Pro blades, as well as “Clean” feature on display. I believe the Platinum version is the only that come with case and cleaning tub
I just bought a gold pro, and I'm wondering how to get the closest shave possible? Do I need specific blades? As it is now, my head feels like sandpaper after shaving
you could try using coconut oil as a balm to help it glide, or if they are brand new blades they might need a day or so to bed in and adjust to your hair type and skin, otherwise you want the course blades that are much closer but can irritate more sensitive skin
Mike. Just cleaned my gold skull shaver and the blade section has now become a loose fitting when putting it back to the part which you hold and re charge.
I'm sorta old school, i use a trimmer ( because I'm old, i let my hair grow at least 2-3 weeks), trim, then use an ordinary rotary shaver (wet/dry) to do the rest (when i say 2-3 weeks, i mean i can pull it, without fingernails), take 5-7 mins using the trimmer, and about the same for the shaver, so around 15mins altogether. Is this going to cut down my time..?
Truthfully I don’t know if you will see an increase in speed as this is really for daily or frequent shaves with shorter stumble - growth it will likely be more comfortable and the hand grip makes it easier to feel where you might have missed areas
i didn't get any oil with mine, that must be a new thing. I use a little coconut oil to shave with, it really makes it smooth. for regular oil, just a drop on each foil weekly should be more than enough if kept clean
Try the US link as that should be global, but if that fails drop me and email mike@mikesunboxing.com and I’ll speak with the UK team to see if they can hook you up
the foils should be fixed and not spinning. this is likely where the blades are catching on the foils, give the unit a clean as i did in the blade sharpening video and it should return to normal operation
Mike, the plastic retainer has a metal piece that became detached from the plastic. How is it reattached properly. Thank you. I miss using it and don't want to buy razor blades.
@@mikesunboxing I tried every possible permutation and of course, the last one was it. Will take a few shaves to get the skin conditioned and closeness back, but I am on my way! Thank you.
not sure, i haven't come across that yet. Normally i turn it off clean it and after it goes away. I have an idea that either the motor speed or internal temp reading triggers the clean up icon. So if there is anything impeding the rotation of the blades, or excessive heat is detected the light remains on? just a idea, maybe it is still hot? or the blades or motor can't rotate freely?
i use coconut oil to shave with sometimes and it is a natural anti bacterial so that stops some of the smell, that is where they are cleaned or wet and not dried out completely. you can also use white vinegar to clean them and that also kills germs but smells worse for a while
@@mikesunboxing I mean the oil that came with the shaver, do I put it on the blades, says oil every month, Ok I have washed my shaver and letting it dry over night, hopefully the smell goes in the morning, Thanks for reply
How often do you have to physically take the blades out to clean?>>. I have a different brand of shaver and I’m constantly stripping it all the way down to get hair out of the blades…. It’s terrible
i take the blades out totally maybe once a month if i can be bothered, generally there is no real need to but it makes me happy going the extra mile sometimes
Nice review. I didn’t see or hear if any clipper oil is needed with this razor? My other razors all require a drop or two of oil to not only lubricate the blades but also to sharpen them.
Lo siento, no hablo ingles, pero me ha gustado mucho tu vídeo. Tendrás que usar el traductor de Google. Quería comentarte una cosa, acabo de comprar la Skull Gold pro, la verdad es que rasura bastante bien, pero noto que el motor que mueve las cuchillas no es muy potente en comparación con otras afeitadoras, como Braun, por ejemplo. No se si es la unidad que he recibido o simplemente que son todas así. Un saludo.
el motor debe ser muy potente e incluso al presionar con fuerza la afeitadora contra la cabeza o la cara, los motores no deberían luchar. tal vez devolverlo?
@@mikesunboxing Es una opción, si. Es que estoy acostumbrado al sonido de mi Braun y la Skull Gold Pro es muy silenciosa ☺️, quizá sea una apreciación errónea mía. Sabes de alguna prueba que pueda hacer para comprobar su potencia?. Gracias.
Pitbull gold pro stop working after 1 year. Battery drain in minutes. Customer service sucks. Shave was good, but won’t buy again. Still using Remington balder pro, no issues after almost 1 year
@@mikesunboxing I've tried emailing them and my email address was blocked after 2 or 3 times,they never responded. I just recieve an automated email the first time. Custumer service I think is little disappointing. After all,maybe the day my remington dies I’ll try again, is a good product and close shave🦾
Feels much lower quality than my dads pit-bull and much more grief to clean, unfortunately I don’t think the heads are interchangeable Also so the charge port isn’t usb c it’s a funny connecter My advice to people is to stick with the pit bull
@@scottthomas7219 please tell us about it here, i won't remove it and other people will find your criticism helpful when considering buying into the system, so please do tell
@@scottthomas7219 not sure what is going on there the pitbull range all use the same motors and casings, only difference is the color and the extras like charge leds. But maybe the gold version feels different because of the coating over the coloring possibly? the heads are 100% interchangeable with any of the pitbull range of heads including the 3, 4 or multi foil versions and also the new nose hair trimmer and foil shaver / trimmer. The charging point is the same on all models and due to being water resistant and being able to use in the shower or wet the custom port is necessary, USB C is way to exposed to work long term in any damp or wet environment. You said at the end to stick with the pitbull, but which pitball model are you referring to? the silver or the platium model? you do release that skull shaver and pitbull are the same thing? Pitbull is a model name of the Skull shaver brand
The promotion of the shaver is fine. However, no one seems to know how to fix error code faucet with drip of water symbol, Lock symbol and 188% on the display. There is no answer for that one. I have never dropped the shaver or put it in water. I have cleaned it using brush and alcohol. It always worked. Now it has been over a year and it is not working. There has to be a way of fixing this issue. It either does or does not. There is no maybe or should. I have watched the videos and they all repeat the same thing. Read the FAQ's and nothing to fix the issue I am facing. And it they say they never had this this issue. The you all will know they did not test this enough before releasing out to the public.
to be frank this is the first time in the last 3 years that i have heard of this error, so it is news to me. If i was aware of it, i would definitely take it up with skull shaver and see what is going on. Being that you are the first person to raise this i would assume it isn't very common. But i will look into it anyway
@@mikesunboxing I just had this error happen to me. In fact, my search lead me here. I have had this since the beginning of 2020 and very meticulous about cleaning. @raj2tennis Have you pursued any assistance from the manufacturer?
@@willittoday7363 Update. Contacted manufacturer. Purchased a warranty, which stated that I "will" receive the base only. Which is fine as that is the part with the issue. However, it has been 9 days since the purchase and I have not received the base. Still waiting. Now you would think that someone at the company would be trying to figure out how to correct the error message on the display. Yet, no word from them.
Just had this issue took them 8 days to send out an new one. I had to buy a base and they said they’ll reimburse me when they get my old one. Had to pay for shipping, I’m in the U.S.
I have been using the shaver for over a year now and TODAY, right when I was shaving the shaver stopped suddenly working, at first I thought it was the battery, so I plugged it in, when it was 100% I tried to turn it back on and got the same error of the tap icon. I started looking for answers and got to this video where I saw your comment and was very disappointed to know that this error does not have a solution yet. What a shame! I got mine in Germany but I live in Colombia now, so it is impossible for me to get a new one or whatever, I really was hoping it was a quick fix. I’m so sad, it was an amazing product.

i don't use the oil and when i got mine it wasn't included. i clean the blades often and frequently use coconut oil on the blades to lubricate and also to protect my skin and keep it youthful :-)
Looking at getting the gold pro, hows the reliability and customer service with skull shaver?
mine has been perfect but others have reported a strange cleaning led that won't go out, but those reports are quite rare
Does it work better dry or with water or shaving cream? Thanks.
coconut oil seems to be the best or dry.
@@mikesunboxing Thanks for the reply.
The three head version silver pro has a 30 min run time, 600mah battery and carver pro blades unlike the Platinum pro and the Gold pro, they come with 90 min run time, 1400mah battery and Forte Pro blades, as well as “Clean” feature on display. I believe the Platinum version is the only that come with case and cleaning tub
quite right
@@mikesunboxing I should receive my Platinum version by Friday thanks to your videos. Thank you
@@MA-nu7ki Hope you like it 🙂
@@mikesunboxing I got it and love it. Thank you
@@MA-nu7ki Glad to hear that 🙂
I just bought a gold pro, and I'm wondering how to get the closest shave possible? Do I need specific blades? As it is now, my head feels like sandpaper after shaving
you could try using coconut oil as a balm to help it glide, or if they are brand new blades they might need a day or so to bed in and adjust to your hair type and skin, otherwise you want the course blades that are much closer but can irritate more sensitive skin
Mike. Just cleaned my gold skull shaver and the blade section has now become a loose fitting when putting it back to the part which you hold and re charge.
hmm try taking apart again
Mike when you hold the main handle and put back and turn the blade section it is not tightening up@@mikesunboxing
I'm sorta old school, i use a trimmer ( because I'm old, i let my hair grow at least 2-3 weeks), trim, then use an ordinary rotary shaver (wet/dry) to do the rest (when i say 2-3 weeks, i mean i can pull it, without fingernails), take 5-7 mins using the trimmer, and about the same for the shaver, so around 15mins altogether.
Is this going to cut down my time..?
Truthfully I don’t know if you will see an increase in speed as this is really for daily or frequent shaves with shorter stumble - growth it will likely be more comfortable and the hand grip makes it easier to feel where you might have missed areas
and what about where and how to oil the blades? Many, many thanks!!
i didn't get any oil with mine, that must be a new thing. I use a little coconut oil to shave with, it really makes it smooth.
for regular oil, just a drop on each foil weekly should be more than enough if kept clean
Awesome thank you
No problem!
do you have referral link to buy in EU, not UK? as that UK one in description does not fit outside UK.
Try the US link as that should be global, but if that fails drop me and email mike@mikesunboxing.com and I’ll speak with the UK team to see if they can hook you up
What part do you oil ? I have a oil bottle that came with it.
That's what I came here hoping to find out! I can find anything about it anywhere🤔
Have u tried replacing only the rotary blades? Amazon sells them individually saving money. Good reviews on them
there are so many sizes, but i would welcome the chance to try it
I was just curious I flipped over my shaver and noticed that only one of the foils are turning. Is that supposed to happen or is something defective?
the foils should be fixed and not spinning. this is likely where the blades are catching on the foils, give the unit a clean as i did in the blade sharpening video and it should return to normal operation
THANK YOU!!!
Cheers Mike 👍
thanks for watching
Mike, the plastic retainer has a metal piece that became detached from the plastic. How is it reattached properly.
Thank you. I miss using it and don't want to buy razor blades.
can you post a picture of the part on the discord chat or email it to me
@@mikesunboxing I tried every possible permutation and of course, the last one was it. Will take a few shaves to get the skin conditioned and closeness back, but I am on my way! Thank you.
@@randscottwagner330 Glad you got it working again 🙂
Thank you.
Hi Mike I’ve had a padlock motif come on my platinum and it won’t work at all ! Any idea what it is please
yes that is the travel lock feature, press and hold the on button and it will toggle it off again
Completely cleaned and charged platinum unit, indicates 100% charged, but "wash" icon is flashing and unit does nothing. Any tips???
not sure, i haven't come across that yet. Normally i turn it off clean it and after it goes away. I have an idea that either the motor speed or internal temp reading triggers the clean up icon. So if there is anything impeding the rotation of the blades, or excessive heat is detected the light remains on?
just a idea, maybe it is still hot? or the blades or motor can't rotate freely?
How do you oil it and what if the blades smell bad whats the cause of that?
i use coconut oil to shave with sometimes and it is a natural anti bacterial so that stops some of the smell, that is where they are cleaned or wet and not dried out completely. you can also use white vinegar to clean them and that also kills germs but smells worse for a while
@@mikesunboxing I mean the oil that came with the shaver, do I put it on the blades, says oil every month, Ok I have washed my shaver and letting it dry over night, hopefully the smell goes in the morning, Thanks for reply
Thanks for the video!
You're welcome!
can i shave evryday with the pitbull or is that to mutch?@@mikesunboxing
how often do you oil the blades?
never have done, and usually used dry, maybe a little oil will keep them sharper longer also
I have a pitbull shaver it seemed like the battery dies out when I start cutting what is wrong but it is fully charged
what does the battery percentage say on the read out
Looking Smoooooth!
haha thanks David
@@mikesunboxing They used it on Poppey, now she looks like Gollum !!!
@@uglybob7505 Lol!
Looking forward to the video with the accessories
coming soon
How often do you have to physically take the blades out to clean?>>. I have a different brand of shaver and I’m constantly stripping it all the way down to get hair out of the blades…. It’s terrible
i take the blades out totally maybe once a month if i can be bothered, generally there is no real need to but it makes me happy going the extra mile sometimes
Nice review. I didn’t see or hear if any clipper oil is needed with this razor? My other razors all require a drop or two of oil to not only lubricate the blades but also to sharpen them.
seems the washing under the tap does what it needs, but if you want to use a drop of oil now and then you can do
Sir I dry shave with electric shave. It's a pre shave lotion n works great. Been 4 years now. I use the wash tub each time w a drop of soap.
@@timothyknudsen6351 Thanks for the info 🙂
@Timothy Knudsen what pre shave lotion are you using?
@@Badsneakers78 electric shave by Williams. It's an electric pre shave. Made in USA.
Did I miss where you explain the use of the oil that came with it?
mine didn't have oil included. but you can put a drop of oil on each foil once a week or so. Or use coconut oil as a shave balm
@@mikesunboxing thank you
@JefftheBear1959 no problem hope you enjoy your shaver
What about battery life? I heard it's horrible after the first year. Only holding a charge for 30 minutes.
my original one is still going strong and the second one has been just as good, not seen any battery degragation so far
@@mikesunboxing Thank you,
Where do we put the included oil?
On the heads one drop on each once a month
Lo siento, no hablo ingles, pero me ha gustado mucho tu vídeo. Tendrás que usar el traductor de Google. Quería comentarte una cosa, acabo de comprar la Skull Gold pro, la verdad es que rasura bastante bien, pero noto que el motor que mueve las cuchillas no es muy potente en comparación con otras afeitadoras, como Braun, por ejemplo. No se si es la unidad que he recibido o simplemente que son todas así. Un saludo.
el motor debe ser muy potente e incluso al presionar con fuerza la afeitadora contra la cabeza o la cara, los motores no deberían luchar. tal vez devolverlo?
@@mikesunboxing Es una opción, si. Es que estoy acostumbrado al sonido de mi Braun y la Skull Gold Pro es muy silenciosa ☺️, quizá sea una apreciación errónea mía. Sabes de alguna prueba que pueda hacer para comprobar su potencia?. Gracias.
Hi Mike, how often do you oil?
I don't just clean daily
How and where do I apply lubrication oil please
a drop on each blade head is fine
Great video thanks m
Thanks Paul
Hi its good but it keeps cutting out is normal
no that is not normal at all, report it to skull shaver
where you put oil ?
a drop of oil on each blade
No oiling the blades?
you can do it you like, entirely up to you.
Would this be any good for.....south of the border ? Asking for a friend ..... ;-)
lol i would maybe try a sample area first 😂❤️
Good question, because I don't shave. I wax, and not my head. LOL
Eyebrows need special attention 😎
@@mikesunboxing My taint is like a yeti's back ! This should do the trick
@@uglybob7505 LOL!
I lost the clip to hold blades in place
get in touch with skullshaver, they will likely send you a replacement
Good video, but in every maintenance video people leave out the way to apply oil…😔
They don’t recommend or even acknowledge the need for any oil. The oil actually stops the blade self sharpening, it relies on friction to do that
Pitbull gold pro stop working after 1 year. Battery drain in minutes. Customer service sucks. Shave was good, but won’t buy again. Still using Remington balder pro, no issues after almost 1 year
sorry to hear that, what did skull shaver reply when you reached out
@@mikesunboxing I've tried emailing them and my email address was blocked after 2 or 3 times,they never responded. I just recieve an automated email the first time. Custumer service I think is little disappointing. After all,maybe the day my remington dies I’ll try again, is a good product and close shave🦾
It shaved my head pretty good but it gave me razor bumps.
you might need to go with a different head on it, or it could be the new blades bedding in, give it a week and see if it improves
I bought a gold skull pro last year and massively regret it
really? why is that
Feels much lower quality than my dads pit-bull and much more grief to clean, unfortunately I don’t think the heads are interchangeable
Also so the charge port isn’t usb c it’s a funny connecter
My advice to people is to stick with the pit bull
@@mikesunboxing I also left a honest poor review on the gold skull website and it got filtered out so they can’t be trusted
@@scottthomas7219 please tell us about it here, i won't remove it and other people will find your criticism helpful when considering buying into the system, so please do tell
@@scottthomas7219 not sure what is going on there the pitbull range all use the same motors and casings, only difference is the color and the extras like charge leds. But maybe the gold version feels different because of the coating over the coloring possibly?
the heads are 100% interchangeable with any of the pitbull range of heads including the 3, 4 or multi foil versions and also the new nose hair trimmer and foil shaver / trimmer.
The charging point is the same on all models and due to being water resistant and being able to use in the shower or wet the custom port is necessary, USB C is way to exposed to work long term in any damp or wet environment.
You said at the end to stick with the pitbull, but which pitball model are you referring to? the silver or the platium model?
you do release that skull shaver and pitbull are the same thing? Pitbull is a model name of the Skull shaver brand
Drinking game idea: take a drink every time he says “Particular”
you would be wrecked if you di
They have a back shaver attachment now too haha
that would be very handy
When u put the head in shld all 4 head spin as a only have one spinning
In operation the blades should spin but the foils should be still
City or rovers?!
given the choice probably Rovers, more of a North Bristol Boy
Another "close-shave" there man!
yep certainly was
The promotion of the shaver is fine. However, no one seems to know how to fix error code faucet with drip of water symbol, Lock symbol and 188% on the display. There is no answer for that one. I have never dropped the shaver or put it in water. I have cleaned it using brush and alcohol. It always worked. Now it has been over a year and it is not working. There has to be a way of fixing this issue. It either does or does not. There is no maybe or should. I have watched the videos and they all repeat the same thing. Read the FAQ's and nothing to fix the issue I am facing. And it they say they never had this this issue. The you all will know they did not test this enough before releasing out to the public.
to be frank this is the first time in the last 3 years that i have heard of this error, so it is news to me. If i was aware of it, i would definitely take it up with skull shaver and see what is going on. Being that you are the first person to raise this i would assume it isn't very common. But i will look into it anyway
@@mikesunboxing I just had this error happen to me. In fact, my search lead me here. I have had this since the beginning of 2020 and very meticulous about cleaning. @raj2tennis Have you pursued any assistance from the manufacturer?
@@willittoday7363 Update. Contacted manufacturer. Purchased a warranty, which stated that I "will" receive the base only. Which is fine as that is the part with the issue. However, it has been 9 days since the purchase and I have not received the base. Still waiting. Now you would think that someone at the company would be trying to figure out how to correct the error message on the display. Yet, no word from them.
Just had this issue took them 8 days to send out an new one. I had to buy a base and they said they’ll reimburse me when they get my old one. Had to pay for shipping, I’m in the U.S.
I have been using the shaver for over a year now and TODAY, right when I was shaving the shaver stopped suddenly working, at first I thought it was the battery, so I plugged it in, when it was 100% I tried to turn it back on and got the same error of the tap icon. I started looking for answers and got to this video where I saw your comment and was very disappointed to know that this error does not have a solution yet. What a shame! I got mine in Germany but I live in Colombia now, so it is impossible for me to get a new one or whatever, I really was hoping it was a quick fix. I’m so sad, it was an amazing product.
I was skipping through the video to find where I need to oil the pitbull gold. 😅 couldn't find it
it isn't necessary really, you can if you wish, or use coconut oil
To bad they dont have replacement blades in stock.
sorry to hear that, which blades were you going for?
Thank You!!
hope it helps
Thank you
You're welcome
