Best Razor For Sensitive Skin Head Shave No Razor Burn - Gilette Skinguard Vs Hydro 5 Sensitive

[@Baldcafe]

Any way that you can reduce how often the blades need to pass over your scalp and the aggressiveness with which they do so will reduce razor burn! This can be achieved by using products like the skinguard razor or some slippery shaving cream. I know this can be a major issue for people just wanting to enjoy a comfortable and clean head shave so I would love to hear your top razor burn reducing suggestions in the comments section below! 🙏

[@h3fan725]

great vid harry :) hope ur doing well man :)

[@h3fan725]

u should do a video on the cheapist way to get the most amount of good quality razors, for example bulk buying sensitive razor heads on a plain through amazon like the monthly subscriptions to gillette pro guard ect, would make an intresting video and help bald guy out there who might be struggeling with money in our current climate to save moeny and be a good intresting video for u too :)

[@HulktySSJ2]

I shave perfectly correct, yet EVERY hand razor DESTROYED my head... ONLY foil electric razors are safe...

[@firefarter375]

Have sensitive skin.. I found using Gillette skingaurd, in the shower, using a conditioner and shaving with the grain is the perfect combo. Also shaving regularly (every 48 hours or so) makes shaving faster, takes less out of your razor and also reduces irritation as the razor has less work to do over all. Another pro for the skingaurd that is not mentioned in this video is that the blades very rarely clog up, probably due to the fact that they are well spaced apart, meaning a smoother shave and less rinsing.

[@willnestor6422]

Same here. I always shave with the grain, not the same baby smooth feel afterwards but much easier and doesn't hurt my head.

[@hammerfall6666]

hmmm it's the opposite for my sensitive skin. i would get a lot of razor bumps if I shaving with the grain. a lot more smooth skin if I shaving against the grain.

[@lisvit3887]

I'm probably one of the only ones that isn't balding but I still shaved my head a couple months back because I wanted to see what it felt like, if I ever start to bald, im just gonna shave it all off because honestly it wasn't that bad.

[@Jessjess_1]

That was me three weeks ago! I had a nice head out hair but decided to just go all in and shave it off. Still getting used to it lol.

[@antoniopalmiero6761]

My first value razor was the Skinguard and after that i never change, for me is perfect.

[@garydc1057]

I shaved my head at the start of UK lockdown. Fusion was my razor of choice as I wanted a super, super smooth finish, but nics and cuts are the scourge of any traditional razor. To deal with this, I tried one of those 5 headed (Chinese) electric rotary head shavers from Amazon and quickly returned it to Amazon - utter pants! In place, I ordered a Panasonic ES-RF31 4 blade electric foil shaver. While designed for the face I've found it to be absolutely fantastic on my head, wet or dry, although wet shaving with it is absolutely exceptional and is easily as close as a blade. I then also got a Remington RX-5 rotary dedicated head shaver and while it's good, it's absolutely second to the Panasonic for me, whether used wet or dry. I'd expected results to be the opposite way around, but there we are... Conclusion: (1) electric shaver solves any issues around sensitivity (2) eliminates cuts and nics (3) prevents lumps and bumps and (4) the Panasonic ES-RF31 shaves easily as close as my Fusion blade, no problem at all - no towel drag in the dry-down, just silky smooth skin. The Remington RX-5, by the way, is now my 'back up' shaver - great, but not Panasonic great. That Panasonic is just utterly outrageous for me, and I no longer use my Fusion at all now. I have pretty much a full head of hair, with recession at the temples that I've had corrected with SMP, so a skin-close shave is vital for me - as vital avoiding nics and cuts. Hope that info helps if anyone's looking for potential solutions. Only thing I'd add is this; always allow a couple of weeks for any electric shaver to get used to your skin and hair - initial performance will always, always improve as that process occurs.

First cut with a buzzcutter before you use the shaver. And dont apply to much pressure. Just be easy on your first time getting bald. You get used to doing it

[@Dark_Section]

I was thinking that you might be able to get a flex ball gilette handle and pair it with the skin guard cartriges, I think it will work because the construction is the same , so that way you will have more control even if you pay a bit more for the handle. I am also using the gilette skin guard and I have very close butter smooth shave on my head. Good video, you are my inspiration regarding me shaving my head, wouldn't have done it without you man , keep helping people and be proud of this community.

ADVICE FOR THE BEST SENSITIVE SKIN SHAVE BLADE AND CHEAPEST WAY TO BUY THEM >>>>> the Gilette Skinguard only has 2 blades which means it dules super quick, as someone with literly the most sensitive scalp ever i recommend the guilettee PRO SHELD ( it has more lubercation and 5 blades, i use it with shaving gel not foam and it works the best when i tryed loads whcih were bad for my head sensitivity :) for anyone who wants to buy these cheapest way is buy a 6 pack on amazon, instead of a 9 pack with handle, these 9 pack work out to almost 3 pond per blade head, where if u buy a few 4 packs they work out to just over 1 quid each, also if u order it on a monthly plain u get more percent off, hope this helps.

[@h3fan725]

@No name best thing, before shave wash with shower head hot water, then apply shaving gel not shaving cream so it sinks in better, shave, wash then apply "Aveeno daily moisturing body lotion 300ml" one pump of the handle should be enough keep dry scalp more moistured for a very long time :) and not too shiny either. hope helps

[@gummymeister3005]

you can also use alum block instead of aftershaving, and use cold water when shaving, it helped me a lot

Wilkinson sword extreme 3 sensitive is the only razor I will shave my head with. the coverage you get with the flexible blade, it contours the head unlike the the others where the blade stays flat. The only draw back is obviously they're disposable some more plastic and the clear head cover gets lost in the water.

[@Gufolicious]

I use exactly that gilette since years i actually prefer it over the fusion but i only use it twice.

I love skinguard for little to no itritation... but yeah you do need to go over a few times to get close.

[@lielmalachi9091]

The most important thing is not pressing so hard! Let the knife do the work. The angle is way more important than the pressure. I can shave with aggressive 5 blade cartridge easily with no irritation only with this method.

[@seanpatterson186]

Love the akingaurd it can be used with fusion blades too it's very versatile

[@unknowntosociety01]

im hesitant to shave with a razor due to my head shape and a scar I have, what would work best for these circumstances?

[@Ben-xd9xi]

Been using a Hydro 5 for over a year now, does a fantastic job two passes both with the grain. Also a tip I learnt, strop the razor in a pair of jeans (against the way the blades face) and they last a lot longer. Probably get 10+ shaves from a blade 👍👍

[@Baldcafe]

Seriously 10+ shaves? I know this can be an issue. I’ve never managed to make a cartridge last longer than 3/4 shaves. I might have to put this to the test. I have heard of such but honestly didn’t think it would make much difference.

[@EDDIEM0NS00N]

Came here to see if I needed to switch from WS, because their 5 blade hydro range has gone downhill fast over the last yr. The gel pool reservoir conditionerused to sit above the blade very tidily, but is literally non existent on them now, or seems to be used looking/defective/left in damp storage area. That gel pool now last 1 head shave as opposed to at least 4. I've bought from Amazon, local chemists & from WS themselves direct & had this problem every single time. Time to try Gillette again maybe?

[@fitrockx]

Do you know which one is my top blade for sensitive skin... The defender with the extra sensitive cartridges. Love it fo far.

[@thabisodube]

If you use the proglide head it will privet in all directions

[@ianmuessig]

You really should try the Gillette guard. It's a single blade pivoting cartridge system that is sold in India (and online). Really cheap and effective.

[@Baldcafe]

I really want to try it but it’s hard to get hold of here in the UK. I’ve had it recommended so many times now but haven’t been able to buy one!

[@ianmuessig]

@@Baldcafe I do know that many small sellers in India export them, I've found them on Amazon and ebay in bulk for cheap (usually x100 cartridges for around $25-$30US). Try Maggard Razors website, they are US based but ship to UK at affordable rates, they always have the Gillette guard in stock, and carry a huge selection of other traditional wet shaving products. I just shaved my head again last night after letting it go a couple months, it just reminded me how bald I am haha. I'm letting the beard grow back at the wife's request and she is digging the smooth dome again. Cheers bald brother and keep up the great content! I'm usually using a Braun foil shaver, occasionally a single blade, but I've been eyeing up the Remington RX5 now that it's available in the US.

What is the best razor (gillette pro fusion, dorco, skinguard, leaf, Wilkinson ecc ecc) that you used by far? Thank you Harry

[@Baldcafe]

Man they are all good in their own right. For example if eco friendly is top of your list then the leaf is a clear winner. If razor burn is a problem then it is skin guard. Gillette fusion proglide is a very good all rounder 👍

[@dimitrisp90]

One trick for less irritation is not to shave so often(like not every 1-2 days). It gives time for the skin cells to rebuild. Another trick is not to go against the grain on parts that give you alot irritation. Hope that helps.

[@jakerobichaux939]

We already know this. Especially the creator of this channel. But there are people who don’t want any stubble at all on their head. Therefore we have to shave everyday or go against the grain when we do shave, or both. Many people who fall in this category use double edge safety razors.

[@hammerfall6666]

not all bald people like for having stubble and can see the balding hairline visible on their head. So they had to shave every day and go against the grain to keep that stubble from being visible at all.

[@KrisVic91]
