Skull shaver

DelBoy Trotter

Has anybody used one of these before? If so, what model and how did you find it? I currently shaved my head once every 8 or 9 days. I'm using a hair clippers and doing a zero blade all over. I'm not looking to go down the route of shaving with a razor, but would like an easier and quicker way to shave my head. The hair clippers is fine, but is a bit of a faff with getting out the extension cable, plugging in the clippers and the time it then takes to shave my head!

No idea, but for that price it would really want to be good to justify it.
But could just be good marketing of a crap product...

Been using it for years. Great shaver imo. Even recommend it to posters here before. There are newer iterations of it now so it might be even better.

I've been using the Lidl shaver for the last few years for shaving my head. Costs €20 and comes up regularly, had more expensive branded ones but they all eventually break and the spare parts for them cost more than the Lidl shaver.

That's the one i use as well, what with the barbers being closed for months and me starting to look like a 70's rocker action was needed, i bought it on Amazon.
Very easy to use and maneuver, i just clip on the number 2 or 3 attachment and go with the same length all over. There's a very decent sharp blade on it and it fits into the hand very snugly.
I also bought a mirror with a suction pad in order to make sure the hard to reach places at the back of the Skull were evenly cut. I highly recommend just be patient and it does the trick.

I'll give a third vote to this Remington. It's excellent.

What model do you have? What length does it shave to? Is it somewhere between a mach 3 and hair clippers zero blade? Do you change the blades on it often?

I have this version. It's about 5 years old now I'd say. It shaves the head like a razor blade like the pictures in the link. Newer models might be more sophisticated.

I got the Skull Shaver Pitbull Gold Pro back in October 2020

Easy to use, and very easy to clean! Charging doesn't take too long. I shave my head usually at least once a week.

Had previously used this thing which wasn't bad for £20, but a pain to clean, and the middle razor bit was useless as it'd stay clogged after a few months of use.

The Pitbull is definitely worth the money! In the past I used a Mac 3, and then a double-edged safety razor. Would cut myself the odd time, slicing off spots, etc. Blood all down my back, LoL. All a thing of the past with the Pitbull, and can easily say I'll never go back to using a blade on my head.
The Platinum edition comes with a triple razor part, for shaving your face. As I've a full beard, I didn't need that part (I use a Straight Edge Barber Razor to shape the beard).
