One Day's Growth without clipper.
« on: January 23, 2016, 06:09:55 AM »
I am really tired of using a clipper. It is time-consuming and the hair gets everywhere when you are done. I usually have to take a shower afterwards which is also adds to the process of cutting my hair.

I want to make the switch to a fancy Braun shaver, BUT, I dont really want a super close cut which is what the fancy Braun shavers are for. My skin is sensitive and I don't mind showing that I am bald (confidence :D).

So what are my options? In a perfect world I would like to purchase a shaver that lets me adjust the lenght of the hair (E.g 1mm) and that gathers the hair for me.

Ps. I am black.

Walmart sells a Wahl clipper which has 'combs' from #8 (one inch) to #0.5.  And then it has an 'adjusment' level to set the length between the fixed settings of the combs.  It's yellow and black.  About $35.  I use it to trim the beard and eyebrows. Used to use it on my head before I discovered the joy of shaving bald.

Link to Best Buy


Looks like Best Buy carries it, too. The smaller beard trimmer

But I already have a clipper. That's what I don't want to use.

What about a foil razor (Remington, Norelco) ?
Even when the d is removed, the devil is still evil.

I would love a foil razor. But all of them seem to brag about how close they cut. Is their a foil razor out there that does not cut close but still have a strong engine?

Rotary foil shavers cut a little less closer than regular foil shavers, IMO
