Is It Possible To Shave Bald Completely Using A Electric Razor?

[dexter]

is it possible? or will it still leave visible hair on my fair skin?

i have sensitive skin n having a electric razor to do the job would be much safer for me. i have problems even shaving my chin with a manual shaver

any suggestions? or should i stick to manual shavers

Dexter,

For the closest shave that you can humanly possibly get, it has to be a BLADE razor. Some electrics comes close - like the Conair CleanHead, but ultimately the closest shave you can possibly get will come from using a blade.

Every scalp is different.  I tried an electric, a Braun, but I would have to shave so much to get it all that it not only took a long time, it left my scalp pretty darn raw, even after a couple months.  You just can't beat a blade!

Great question Dexter!  I'm an upstate New Yorker and it gets cold in the winter. I go sly in the summer with a Mach 3 but when it's cold, I buzz with no guard once a week.Surprising how much warmer the dome feels.  Nobody thinks I'm anything but sly. Only you will notice you aren't totally smooth. By the way, I get more "head rubs" with about 3-4 days growth. Turns out slightly fuzzy works for the women in my life.

Maybe if your noggin' is tougher than mine.  

Give it a try and let us know how you did!

I have a Conair CleanHead shaver and it works pretty well, although as others have stated, you can never get as close a shave with it as with a razor.  I use it occasionally if for some reason I don't feel like doing a wet shave. 

It takes longer than shaving with a razor--you have to go over and over your scalp in little circles to get the stubble off--but visually, I don't think anyone can tell the difference.  Your fingers will know when you rub your scalp, though.  It just won't be as smooth. 

But I'd say if you are seriously blade-averse or challenged for some reason, give it a try.

During the colder months I like to use my Braun series 5.  It usually takes me 10 minutes to get slick.  

Bad part...after 24 hours I definitely have 220 sandpaper to deal with.

Being slick and smooth can be achieved but you have to be careful choosing your shaver as well as your technique.

I see from this thread that my many, many posts extoling the Panasonic Linear Wet or Dry shaver has gone unheeded

yeah, I'm all about the Panasonic linear myself.

I own a  Panasonic 8103s.  I use it dry with good results.

Being the Panasonic Linear Guru, I endorse using the shaver in the shower.  Shaving wet gives less irritation.  I use mine with King of Shaves gel.

Hi SimplyRed!

Do you have any opinion regarding to Panasonic ES-LA93K or 63K? I was trying to avoid Panasonic but taking in account some reviews it seems to be much better than Braun or other brands.

Although for some reason it is difficult to find it in Europe.

Cheers!

Your probably right, but it takes too long and to involving.  I simple exfoliate wash and then some  pre-lectric shave.  then shave and then use a coco butter lotion or lubridurm lotion to prevent bumps. 

I like to shave when Im on the internet or watching tv, or even driving somewhere.  It's not necessary to use the pre-lectric stuff, still give me a good shave. 

I bought the king of shaves oil and tried it, I wasn't to happy with it and it's not cheap.

Honestly, I'm terrified of using an electric razor on my head. I was given one as an x-mas gift few years back. It was the first time ever using one. It tore the crap out of my face. I know there's a period where you have to 'get used' to using one, but it was such an uncomfortable experience, I didn't bother with again it after 2 uses. I felt bad, because it wasn't a cheap model, but I was able to give it to someone else who has gotten plenty of use out of it.
I'd like to have that convenience when it comes to shaving the dome, but I don't want to invite the risk of that kind of discomfort and redness all over the top and back of my head. Kudos to those of you who can pull it off without issue. I'm stickin' to the blade, baby.

I bought an electric shaver and it sits on the shelf unused. I find it good only if I'm lazy. Give me my Schick Hydro 5 and some Bald Guyz Shave Gel topped off with Bald Guyz After shave gel any day. Smoother than a babys butt!
