Question about current look
« on: January 12, 2026, 01:02:12 PM »
So I have been shaving my head for quite a while, and just got the schick xtreme 3 razor. And omg it made me look the baldest I have ever looked. Want to know which looks better?  Pic 1, pic 2 or pic 3. I could always go back to gillette fusion or shortest clippers if the balder look does not look as good.

Pic #1 looks great. I think if you're going to be bald, your head should be smooth as can be. I've been using thr Schick Extreme 3 disposable for many years. And I shave every day in the shower. I've gotten to the point that I can't stand the stubble, and I want my head super smooth daily.
Bald by choice, and loving it!

Pic 1, the closer the shave the better.  Since your hair is dark, you have shadow if it is not as close as possible.  When you are older and your hair turns gray (assuming it does), you will be able to be shadow free with any of them.  And I will add, with the shaved head, the more facial hair the better IMO.

I would say 1 but hard to tell if you have sideshadow. If not I'm jealous and may have to try a regular razor again- I have been using skull shaver
If only I could figure out how to get rid of the hair that still comes back...

I used a Schick Xtreme 3 for years before finally switching to a Headblade, that's definitely giving you best look IMO. But it's always good to keep many different tools in your arsenal.
