Can a vacuum trimmer be used for a headshave? by rico on 20 May, 2024 23:35
I've read a few glowing reviews of some devices, not the Vacutrim itself but other brands. But few claim it would work for head shaves. Has anyone tried this?

I'm not sure what you mean by a vacuum trimmer Rico. If it's one of those clippers with a vacuum attachment, sure, you can buzz your head, but it won't really shave you like a razor.

And type of trimmer will be limited by how close it will get. But technically, by definition, a trimmer is not a shaver. It will result in a tight buzz cut. Some trimmers do cut so close that it may appear to be a head shave, unless looking closely. So most people will still think of it as a head shave.

Another consideration, if you hair is dark, and you have pale skin, the "shadow" left by a trimmer will be very pronounced. A true razor blade head shave will result in less of a shadow. Some electric shavers come close to a razor blade.

And I must add, there's nothing like the feel of a razor shaved head! That's why many of us razor shave every day, feels amazing.
