Who shaves their head?

Landy · 16 Oct 2015 at 12:57

Mach 3 and shave gel, twice a week, I'm in the rubbish situation that i still have hair growing around the sides, it's just on top where nothing grows, so if i leave it for any longer my head ends up looking like a big pink Ostrich egg in a wicker basket

Whal cippers & mach 89

Poundshop Multi-Pack BiCs, super cheap and far more effective than the latest '27-Blade Hyper-Turbo' tosh the Marketers would have you waste your hard earned on. :cool:

digging up an old thread

still going to the barbers here £7 a shot a week
£350 a year if I missed 2 weeks

need to think about investing in something so I can do the job myself!

You only need to spend £20 on some clippers.

The closest I get to shaving my head is a No3 cut.

Sliver · 19 Oct 2016 at 13:31

44 here and still have a full head of almost exclusively brown hair.

However, I still give the back and sides a number 1 with a short clip on top.
If my hair ever receded or male pattern baldness set in, I'd just number 1 the lot every month.

I use a Wahl Total Cut electric clipper. Very basic piece of kit, but it does a great job.

I'd like to shave even closer, but Mrs Evangelion isn't keen. She thinks it's bad enough when I go this far.

I used to also, had a pair of Wahl Balding clippers which were superb.

Maundie · 19 Oct 2016 at 13:43

I use a Wahl clipper with no attachment with the arm pulled right back to get it as short as possible, when I was in London the local barber charged me £20 to cut it and give me a cutt-throat shave which I thought was good value.

Yep, same here. Gets pretty close to the skin!

Ree · 19 Oct 2016 at 13:49

shaved my own head since my late teens with no guard on clipper just into the wood for me, absolutely cannot stand having hair its just itchy and annoying once it gets a few more mm thick..i call that looking like a hippy

Serious question. When you go out in winter, do you get the same cool/fresh feeling on your head that you get after a beard has been shaved off?

Yep, can also be a touch chilly it's windy, hats are sometimes required

Use clippers on a grade 0 (so no attachment, blades close together) fortnightly to keep my hair short. Probably should do it weekly but I am too lazy to spend the 15 minutes it takes (includes cleaning up) to do that

psd99 · 19 Oct 2016 at 13:58

which clippers cut really short?

My Philips machine just doesn't cut it lol

Might start using a proper shaver
is that advisable?

Phate · 19 Oct 2016 at 14:00

Was expecting much wittier and funnier replies from you all. Thread fails to deliver.

You had one job GD! :mad:

bliss · 19 Oct 2016 at 14:00

Wahl super taper + 0.5 attachment every other day. Wish I could do something to slow my hair growth down as I'd prefer to do it just once a week.

You can't go wrong with a Wahl. Even their cheaper models do a fantastic job.
