Oster Fast Feed vs Wahl Balding

<< < (2/3) > >>

Magoo:
I have a pit bull head shaver. Not as close as a razor, but closer than balding clippers , I would presume. Hair grows about  1/8 of an inch per week.
I agree with sly beard , the difference between shavers would be insignificant in one week.

Razorhead:
I have the Wahl balding clippers. I'm generally not a fan of them. You have to be careful using them and always buzz with the direction of hair growth -- not against. Going against the direction can chew up your scalp if you are moving to quick or not careful.

I just use regular Wahls that I bought online and it comes with the full set of plastic guards. I just clipper shave with those without a guard and with the blade in the closed position to buzz the hair as close as possible. I went to a barber supply store once, and he sold me an edger that I also use. They work nicely.

dk:
Thanks guys and apologies for disappearing (life drama).

I'll pass on the Wahl Balding and just switching to using my Fast Feed 2x/week in that case. Agreed it doesn't make much sense that the difference would be noticeable after a week.

RE: shaving. Not what I want at this point. It takes long enough to DE shave my face every 2-3 days. I do enjoy it but I simply don't have time to DE shave my head and my face. Plus, I have enough hair that I can pull off the very short buzz look so it's my preference anyway.

Appreciate the answers!

reddog:
I wish I could get used to wearing a buzzcut, but I don't like how I look with one. So either I grow a flattop or shave it daily.

Yes, there is definitely a time commitment to wearing a shaved head. I find a quick shave in the shower everyday is the best for me. Of course I've been retired for years so I have the time.

It's true....having both a clean-shaven head and face is a lot of work. Although I love how clean it looks, I usually end up growing my beard back in. I would try rotating (head one day and face the next day), but I hate not having my noggin as smooth as possible.
