Head shaver recommendations

[ScarySquirrel]

I'm bald.

I currently use some hair trimmers at the lowest setting (no idea what mm that is) to cut my hair.

I don't think I'm ready to go full cue ball look, but I would like a slightly closer cut.

I've seen lots of 'skulls shavers' being advertised to me on social media, but I have no idea what is good and what is not.

What does every bald person on here use to shave their head? What's my best option if I want a really close shave but not just skin showing? Or should I just embrace the shiny head?

Thanks

Didn't we have this exact thread a couple of months ago?

Maybe. I searched 'bald' and didn't find what I needed so just thought I'd post.

I am not fussy when it comes to clippers. Standard £13-£15 local supermarket ones work for me, number 2.

I did used to have some branded ones but i found even if you cleaned them and kept them oiled they always used to fail on me.

Hmmm, maybe the clippers I have are fine then. I thought there might be something to get it a little shorter without being completely skinhead.

Did you find any alternatives to clippers? I was tracking this thread back when you posted and most replies seem to be recommendations for a closer shave.
I currently use a Remmington beard trimmer.

No not really, it seems that unless you want to go completely skin head that hair clippers are the best option.

I was looking at this, but haven't bought one yet - https://groomhere.co.uk

I got drunk recently and decided to go for the full bald look and I ended up loving it. I just used my Harry's razer to cut it no issues. I have since however cut myself quite badly on the back of my head, which led to lots of bleeding and a horrible scab on the back of my head for a week.

So I've just bought one of these; https://groomhere.co.uk/products/trimmer

Trim Pod 2.0. Seems to get good reviews and is half price at the moment for Black Friday. I'll share my thoughts when I get it for anyone interested.
