Title: Electric Shaver?
Post by: jpargo on July 25, 2009, 10:31:44 PM
Hey,

I don't like blades. I like to shave my head so I'm currently use a basic hair clipper. I basically put it on lowest clip settings and use it to shave. I don't mind that its not deep skin shave, in fact I like how it looks for 2-3 days.

So my question is are they any electric shavers for the head? I don't mean the ones primarily used to shave beard/face. Since I would have my head every 3-4 days, and it covers larger area, I think it would be economically not feasible to be buying these $100 products couple of times in the year. I would also love to have one where you can use in the shower.

See resident electric guru Red for info. He recommends the Panasonic. I use a braun about 1/2 the time. It gets close as a blade but doesn't last as long. But I have sensitive skin and it helps me not to break out.

I have been using my Norelco 7310XL electric tripple head shaver, but you will need to shave everyday as I can see my cuttings in the sink when I dump the captured blade container.  I had been thinking about buying the Arcitec where the 3 heads conform to the shap of what your shaving, wether it be your noggin or your face.

I like the way it shaves my head, no it doesn't totally feel like a razor shaved head as I can still feel the differance.  But it does give the dome a shinny razor like appearance.
