Head Shave Tutorial w/the Bald Buddy

[@jeffdempsey8740]

Greg, I just started following you. I was so tired of “chasing” my hair that I decided to go bald. I was apprehensive about cutting what hair I had completely off, but the daily disappointment of looking at it pushed me into a change. I didn’t know how to start, so KZbin was guide. I found you and a couple others who showed me how to get started. Thank you. Your opinions on products are something that I needed to get a positive beginning on my change. The electric razor “bald buddy” is perfect. It makes the process fast and easy. It’s well made and worth the cost. Thanks again.

[@GregBoswell428]

Thanks, I’m glad you found this useful

[@adamadkins4485]

It's nice to shave my head and plus it's very low maintenance

[@devinmendoza3875]

Picked this up a week ago. Two passes with get it very smooth. Takes 10 minutes. I prefer wet with conditioner or sensitive shaving cream. Very good, and prevents bumps

[@ericsalazar6426]

Thanks for the review, I’ve been looking at head shavers for the past few weeks. This made me pull the trigger and get this one.

I hope you enjoy it

Just got one, I love it!!

[@GravityDAD]

Still using it, how’s it held up ?

[@RACaptialRegion]

Just buy it guys! I'm personally really impressed, and the time savings is just plain better than straight razors. Not to mention Joshua from Cut Buddy is active and willing to offer help or answer questions online. There's ample reasons to justify the cost of the replacement heads too

A t blade razor is 0.1mm. And you can fiddle about with the blades to get it closer.

[@megaexidor]

Finally was able to purchase the bald buddy, thanks for the discount 👍 in the fall through spring I don't razor shave my head, due to wearing a hat with frequent shaving it does irritate my scalp. I've used it 3 times since this Saturday. I love! This thing. Yes it's not razor skin smooth. But very close to it & extremely even. Super easy zero irritation. It wastes the brio zero blade. I used that last year I like it but yeah lots of gentle scrapes all over my head it get very close, not as close as bald buddy. Its excellent!

[@justinlang313]

I just used this for the first time a little while ago and I thought it would snag because my hair is thick but it didn’t snag a single time. Then I started to trust it more and started to go faster. I really like it. Feels good too 😊

[@GregBoswell428]

That’s good to hear!

This!

[@primetimeedgetwitch3274]

I used the one from Freebird. Same “head” as this one. It gets pretty smooth but I always felt that a razor was smoother. I changed to a safety razor. I’m super happy with the decision.

[@Zip_Zero_ZILCH]

I am in the middle off laser hair removal on the dome and while I usually shave every 3 days or so, being a truck driver sometimes I get stuck out a few days more than I like. With laser removal I am even patchier so I need something I can do quickly and on the go. This looks like a great alternative. I am picking one up from Walmart. Thanks for the review!

[@Zip_Zero_ZILCH]

I shaved my head for the first time with the conditioner today and it helped a ton compared to shaving cream. I am using the cheapest disposable razors though, which are not good at all. I would totally buy one of these after I get the moles removed off my head. Scared it would nick the hell out of them.

[@GregBoswell428]

I have a friend that has moles and skin tags on his head and he shaves it. I always wonder how he does it.

[@navinpersaudnp]

When my dad used to shave his head I would shave his head with a Braun series 3 310s and use warm water or OGX conditioner and it would be smooth. Occasionally I would use a Gillette Mach 3 with just OGX conditioner. You should try the 310s and it’s affordable. Thanks for all the tips

[@GregBoswell428]

I'll look into it

[@dorianperez13]

Thx for the informative vids! In your opinion which electric razor do you find to be the best?

[@tronmosesmedia4816]

I think using the foil shavers are better... they cut closer and they're easy to clean.

[@jamesmarr8736]

[@voxdevil]

Very cool Sir going to check if available to SA market now 👏🏻

[@Lenroyc]

Great review! What would you suggest to prevent razor bumps or irritation?

[@ianmuessig]

I have yet to find a rotary shaver that works, they all give me horrible irritation and a patchy shave. I've tried everything from the top of the line skull shaver pitbull, to the Remington rx8, to the freedom shaver, to cheap imports. Foil shavers are vastly superior to rotary, I'm partial to Braun.

[@JimboSRP]

I'm the same - I've tried electric razors on my head occasionally and all I got was irritated skin with uneven stubble. I've been using the old fashioned straight razors (not the disposable blade ones) for years (dare I say decades...) and I have that down to under a few minutes, but all the other palava that goes with it - stropping the razor, making lather with the badger brush, cleanup, drying the blade etc - adds another 5 minutes to the overall process. This looks like it could be a great solution for those days, like you said, I am in a rush to get out the door. I will definitely look this up. If you had to compare the smoothness of the result, where would it sit? Like how it feels a few hours after wet-shaving with a blade? The way you clean it by running it with the cutting deck under water reminds me of how I clean my lawn tractor cutting deck! lol.

[@GregBoswell428]

Yeah, you may end up really liking this. I assume that not everybody would feel the same but it kind of caught me by surprise.

[@irishuwould5185]

I’m the complete opposite. I can’t use razors on my head it gets irritated, the electric shaver is what I use without issues

[@erikvanwelzen4496]

Hi! How long until you have replace the knives? Searching for something new because the Philips one blade knives really should be replaced quickly

[@manoloaiza]

Hi, good video, thanks!, is there an intermmidiate option between shaver and clippers in terms of cut lenght? or are any shavers out there that have adjustable cut lenght? i'm not looking for a closer shave, actually looking for a longer cut from a shaver....any recommendations are appreciated

[@pennyarmc]

How does it last long-term the battery? I bought piece of junk skull shaver when they first came out they wouldn't recharge after 3 months wasted all that money and replacement blades want to know if you had it for a long time

[@AladdinSaneNYC]

Hi...VERY nice review!!! Can this be used while in the shower? How does this shaver compare with the Remington Baldy ( I believe that's what it's called)? I'm torn between which I should purchase. Many thanks mate! 🙏♐

[@carlosjimenez6482]

I just got mine today from target.. let me tell you game changer 🔥🔥💯💯

[@omniken66]

It still cant beat a blade shave....its good for in between shaves but you need to wait to have more than stubble. a razor works better because it simple gets closer. This is good if you are in a hurry and want to clean up to look presentable...these aren't meant to replace a razor shave....no matter who makes them or how much they cost. I've had $29 ones all the way up to over $100 and they all do the same thing!

[@GregBoswell428]

Some people may find it adequate as a reply. It really depends on what you’re willing to live with. However, I do make it very clear that no electric shaver can get as close as a razor.

[@tr8086]

[@isansimpson2056]

Guys...shave your damn head. I'm 6'5 with a very square jaw and fair skin. I always just thought I would have too intense of a look going fully skin-bald. I would shave my head with clippers maybe twice per month through my late 20's. For no reason at all, I spent this period of my life looking 15 years older than I was. No reason. Bald looks younger. Bald looks better.

[@15RunAway]

Have you ever used the Panasonic ARC 5 or Braun S9 foil electric shavers? I can't imagine a closer dry shave. Just almost as close as the 5 blade razor like the tutorial you gave...

[@mikewendt6050]

So I tend to cut myself shaving with a razor. And I'm balding real bad and i don't wanna use a razor. What's been the best head shaver you have used? I see mix results on the skull shaver/pittbull. Same for the freedom shaver. I know Barbsole has a head shaver but I have yet to see a review on it. The bald buddy I have seen some soild reviews but still not sold on it.

I’ve never had to replace the heads yet but then again I dropped my shaver and broke it somehow, so I haven’t used it in awhile

[@jamarstarbeck3362]

[@jamarstarbeck3362]

Update , returning it . I shaved my head using the conditioner method and everything went well . Used this and still got the same irritation as if I went to the barber and used a trimmer . Completely irritated not sure if I used it wrong but I did exactly as u did round circles and could barely pick anything up . Pretty annoyed as my head is red on the sides and back so I’ll stick to the shaving with conditioner and will bring this back to Walmart for my money back

[@GregBoswell428]

Sorry to hear that. I can't be sure but you may have been trying to get too close of a shave and simply overdid it.

Greetings Sir- Thank you for your videos. They are helpful and encouraging. One point of clarification before I make this purchase. Do you treat your head with anything before? Conditioner? Do you treat with the same lotion afterward that you use after you use a razor? I checked all the comments to see if this was addressed but did not see anything.

Hi again, just watched your review of this shaver. Is the shave as smooth as with a razor, or does it leave you with a kind of peach fuzz? Thanks.

[@GregBoswell428]

No, there is no electric shaver that can do that, unfortunately. What you have left is about what you might have one day after you shave with a razor. But that's just my comparison. I don't know how much that would differ with a woman, if at all.

believe it or not I always get better result with electric shaver in my head shaves compare to razors ! while this is inverse in face shave for me ! but the process is way longer ! it take me at least 30 minutes to give myself a nice perfect and even head shave with electric shaver but with blade it's not gonna go more than 10_15 but I can say I never cut myself with electric razor and less irritation !

[@AJHipCurler]

Greg, I'm curious which Electric's you've tried for comparison? I have had similar questionable results (like you cite) with the standard ones that are design for the face, like my Dad's Norelco's. But there are ones other than this built for the head specifically. My brother got me a "Skull Shaver" also known by it's model brand "Pitbull" that worked a lot better than the face ones. I've also seen a similar one to that called "Freedom Grooming", and one or two others. The Skull Shaver has a few of the features you talk about in Bald Buddy and a different handle. However, none of the ones I've tried create the full same effect as standard blade. Maybe my stubble just grows in faster than those that like it, or maybe I'm just too much of a perfectionist, I don't know. So I'm curious for a full comparison of those designed specifically for the head to see if there's significant difference. I will agree though, there's a potential time and irritation savings if you can be satisfied with what these electrics do. I have picked up using the one my Brother got me 3-4 days a week during the work week and just dealing with the fact a few areas don't come out as smooth as I like, which helps get me to the office on time. But before a hot date I still feel like I need a real blade.

[@GregBoswell428]

Yeah, it's been so long ago (I've been shaving my head for @20 years) that I can't accurately recall the makes and model of the electric shavers I had used. I dont even own them anymore. No, you won't get the same effect as a razor. It's just not possible with any electric shaver. However, what I noticed is that I got absolutely no irritation of the skin and it was the most even cutting shaver I've ever used. It really surprised me. The way the 5 heads move and pivot I'm sure had a lot to do with it. It's something I plan on using during the week while still using a razor on the weekend. I'll have to say, it did leave my head looking really nice, though.

[@frankmapogo6441]

There's quite a few of these on the market, what makes this different from a skullshaver or a remington head shaver?

[@TheCutBuddy]

Ergonomic handle rides head like buffer. Remington and Skull Shaver you hold like a ball and push along head. The ergonomics allows the hand and wrist to be more relaxed. When the hand and wrist are not as relaxed that's when you get an uneven cut and could cause irritation. We are also ore affordable and give part proceeds to veteran's with disabilities. Skull Shaver is great. As far as power, blades, battery it's it's same as ours... Remington and Freedom are kinda knick offs. I'd go with a Skull Shaver before a Remington. All in all it all comes down to regimen. Without pre-exfoliation and after treatment, you increase risk ingrown hairs or burn.
