15 Best Head Shavers: Which Is Right for You?

This head shaver was invented by a guy who is bald and is on the go. He figured out how to make the best head shaver for guys like him: they want something that works really well and is really simple. A big plus to this unit is that it doesn’t have the three rotary blades that are normally seen: it has five. Skull Shaver has three versions of its popular Pitbull Shaver: Silver, Gold, and Platinum. We’re suggesting the Pitbull Silver Shaver.

From Pitbull: “We completely re-engineered Pitbull blades. They shave faster and smoother than any of our previous models. The final drive gear is 22% larger, delivering more hair cutting torque to the blades. The cutting area has been increased by 10%, allowing you to shave more area in less time. Each blade articulates 33% more, allowing the shaver to better conform to the shape of your head.”

This head shaver has three things going for it: Versatility, Affordability, and Popularity. The Remington Shortcut Pro features nine different length-adjusting combs, so you can get the hair to the exact length you’re looking for. It comes in a 13-piece kit — including a charging adaptor and a travel pouch — so the price point is great. Like the Pitbull (the first item on this list), the Shortcut Pro is designed to be ergonomically simple and easy to use. If you want a step up from the included travel pouch, Remington makes a hard travel case. The Shortcut Pro’s run time on a charge is a respectable 40 minutes, but the bonus is that you can operate it with the corded charger.

Wahl invented the hair clipper in 1919 and is a globally established leader in professional, home, and pet grooming, as well as massagers. The Wahl 5-Star comes with the clipper, two attachment combs, oil, cleaning brush, instructions, power adapter, and a red blade guard. The blades are German-milled titanium with a self-sharpening design and they cut at twice the speed of pivot motors. It is corded (the cord is eight feet long) and while Wahl says it cuts “surgically close,” you may need to do some finishing with a razor, depending on the look you’re going for. This unit ranks very high in many reviews. Groomandstyle.com included it in its top seven best electric head shavers, saying “for those guys who do not want to shave completely but want a closer trim than most hair clippers offer, the Wahl 5-Star Balding Clippers are a brilliant solution.” For more versatility, cop Wahl’s eight-pack of cutting guides.

A lot of guys overlook a body grooming kit as a head shaver kit but they really shouldn’t Often times the best body groomers can handle the scalp with ease. This Remington kit provides a ton of power and versatility. The Remington brand has been helping guys get that fresh and clean look without having to spend a fortune at the barbers or stylish every year. This kit includes 9 attachments for all your grooming needs: Full-Size Trimmer; Foil Shaver; Nose, Ear, and Detail Trimmer; Vertical Body Hair Trimmer; Hair Clipper Comb with 8 Length Settings; 3 Beard and Stubble Combs. With self-sharpening blades and a 70-minute runtime, the maintenance on this kit is minimal.

The big difference here: it’s not an electric shaver. This is a “regular” blade razor that fits in the palm of the hand and is pushed around the dome to get a perfectly smooth shave. HeadBlade’s razor is a four-blade design that fits into the unit, which is like a little car. It actually has a practical reason for that: the wheel moves to accommodate the contours of the skull. InstantGrooming.com included this unit in its top five razors for shaving the head. A four-blade replacement pack is available. And if you want some of HeadBlade’s skin treatments, try the HeadSlick shave cream or the ClearHead aftershave. The MOTO is HeadBlade’s newest version of this type of head shaver.

This is probably the Rolls Royce of the list, and it has a Rolls Royce price. That said, this is consistently ranked as one of the best shavers out there and it works great as a skull shaver. The Braun Series 9 is a foil shaver, as opposed to rotary shaver. It’s got five shaving elements — four cutting elements and one “SkinGuard.” In addition, it features two specialized trimmers with titanium coating. Foil shavers generally should be used with just an up and down or back and forth motion (not a circular motion). The Series 9 has a 10-D contour adaption feature, meaning the flexible head moves in 10 directions and adapts to the skin. The unit features Intelligent Sonic and AutoSense Technology which has been engineered to capture more hair with each stroke. This one comes with a cleaning station, which means you can just pop it in and the station takes care of everything. This is a wet and dry unit, meaning it can be used with shave cream. This is Braun’s top of the line unit. For lower price points, check out Braun’s Series 7 or Series 5, both exceptionally rated.

This works very well as a head shaver, but its starring role in virtually all the online reviews is as a face shaver. That said, we’re including it here because of its high performance and because it does rate well on the handful of head-shaving-only reviews. Whereas the Philips above is a rotary, the Panasonic Arc4 is a foil shaver. The “4” in the name refers to the fact that this is a four-blade system. The unit features a pivoting shaver head, which makes it much easier to use on the dome. It’s a wet or dry shaver, so you can use it in the shower and/or with foam or gel. It features a pop-up shaver trimmer for the ‘stache or burns. The LCD display toward the bottom of the handle has a five-stage battery indicator, a cleaning reminder and more. If you want the cleaning station, too, this pack includes the shaver and the clean and charge station. A newer version — although more expensive — is the Panasonic Arc5.
