Hey guys, any help is appreciated here. New poster but I've read the forum a few times and love it.
I shave my head bald w/ an electric trimmer. I've been using a norelco model (link below) for YEARS. It's $20 so it's easy to replace as it goes dull, and it actually gives a really tight buzz w/ no guard. I've probably owned 5-6 of these, replacing it as it goes dull. It's discontinued now, impossible to find, etc. You can see it's listed for $170 on Amazon now and there's 1 left haha.

I'm really having trouble finding a good replacement. Just looking for a relatively simple trimmer that can shave my head down w/ no guard. I'd prefer something that has a battery you charge, rather than a power cord that requires it to be plugged in.
Any help? any recommendations? As a final note, in case it wasn't clear, the goal is to get as close to bald as possible with this. I don't mind the stubble look but I need a tight shave.
Welcome! Sorry it took so long to get a response.
When I used to clipper shave, the Andis outliner series did a nice job of giving my head a clean appearance with a stubble you could only feel but could only see up close. The Andis costs about $55 and can be just as effective as what you had before. Good luck!
