Head Shaving, Grooming & Care > Trimming Your Head/Hair

Clippers or wet shave?

Feenix:
Hey there.

Ive been shaving my head for about 15 years - its thin down the middle, but fairly thick on the back and sides.  Ive always used clippers, but more recently Ive started wet shaving.

Im still on the fence about wet shaving vs using clippers.  Im interested - when do you think its time to make the switch?  Is it when only a certain amount of hair is left, or is it an internal decision that doesnt really rely on how much hair you have?  I dont use a comb when using clippers, so I suppose the difference is minimal to an extent, just wondering what peoples opinions are on the matter.

Im a newbie, so if this is in the wrong section of the forum I apologise.  Im interested in any advice/experience you may have that may help to make this decision a clearer one for me.

Cheers  :)

No guard clippers will cut very short, the big difference is the feel. You do what feels right for you, if and when you want, there are no rules.

There is no rules which way to shave. Give each a try for a period of time, and see what best fits your life style.

It makes no difference if or when you switch.  I personally like the smooth feel of the blade shave.  If you hair is dark, a razor shave will minimize the shadow, but other than that, it looks the same to most people.  Other head shavers will notice the difference, others will not know.

I actually do both. Some days I'll wet shave, other I'll grow it out forms few days then clipper it with my balding clippers. My clipper leave about the equivalent of a day or so worth of growth but I like the shadow effect. I'm probably the same as you with my hair being thinner on top but thick on the back and sides. When I wet shave I really do lobe the feel of it and the process of shaving. When I clipper it, it's more of a sandpaper feel and I like the look of it. Either way I love It.

There are no hard and fast rules on going sly. Since you already clipper your hair, why don't you try a wet shave and see how it goes. If you don't like it then it's no big deal, a few days later and youre back to clipper length hair. Do what feels right. Chances are you have the urge now anyway so why not succumb 😈
