Hello Everyone,
My name is Ken and I'm glad to be here. While I'm not completely bald, happen to look great with my hair shaved off or a very close burr; I find however that after 3-4 days it needs to be cleaned up. To date, I've been going to my barber and am considering styling my own hair.
I am looking for a clipper cut between a short buzz cut and a clipper shave. Any suggestions on the appropriate tools and techniques.
Your advice would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Ken -

Welcome to SBGs!!!
Going that close...why not scrape the dome completely with a HeadBlade? -

I am a proud owner of a headblade and sort of like it. The problem is I'm not happy with using it around the ears. I'm still deciding how smooth I want to be; in other words trying to find the ultimate look that complements me the best. I know my hair is going to be trimmed super close and will probably need to be cleaned up twice a week.

You'll most likely be happy with the Conair Cleanhead. I've got one and use it for a quick touch up and when a blade just isn't convenient. For a relatively cheap piece of equipment it does a real nice job.
As some other guys have pointed out it isn't the best built electric razor in the world but, given its price, it's not a hardship if it croaks after a decent period of use. I'm happy with mine. -

Sailor,
Appreciate you sharing your experiences with the Conair Cleanhead and am looking forward to it arriving in the near future. In the short term, I razor shaved my head this morning and will be in desperate need of a trim when the cleanhead arrives
. I still need to determine, how bald I want my regular style to be. I do know that there are better ways to spend my money than at the barbers.

so post a clearpic and yo'll get plenty of response as to how long to keep it. as for me, I'm serioulsy jonesing for a blade shave after 48 hours. generally it's daily but on occasion I'll let it go to let my scalp have a break. love the sly na dshould have done it ages ago.

I'm new myself and have been ising the Cleanhead. It works great and it's easy to use.
I was afraid of cutting myself with a razor. -

Shaved my head again this morning. It's getting to be fun.
Think I will stick with it for the time being and use the clean head for quick touch ups when I want to look sharp in the evening.
