does it shave bald heads?

Yes it does and it looks really good too! It probably doesn't cut as close as a razor, but it almost feels as smooth and you don't have to worry about cuts on your head. I actually use it to shave my face and head in the shower without a mirror, just gauging progress by feel. I do notice that it only takes a full day or so to grow in a good bit of scruff, so you may need to use it everyday like I do.

YEs. Its definitely better than non- pivot head one. But still, you don't get super - clean shave in difficult areas such as chin, around neck. it leaves some hair. SO I have to use normal razor second time. But 2nd time its really cakewalk as skin gets really smoother because of shaver. It takes hardly 1 min for 2nd round. let me know in case of more doubts.

I have no clue, since I never had the older model. When you say "shave" do you mean like a bowling ball, or just a close crop. I use it to trim my full beard, but I see no reason why the attachments can't be used to give a "crew cut". But, it will not trim down to the scalp. Only a safely razor can do that.

yes it does, i just bought one a few months ago very powerful motor on it also, i use mine to shave with and i use it with out attachments it leaves the tiniest trace of whiskers which is fine with me kinda gives a rugged look, i bought this for the simple reason is that regular razors will not cut my whiskers after a few days growth.

Lol I'm not sure if it will shave your head but I don't see why it wouldn't. If you're looking for a shaver for only that reason, I would recommend buying a different shaver for less money.

Yes, but it recharges very quickly. I get three balder shaves without noticing any loss of power.

Sure, i usually use with my balde clients. It´s almost like when you do with a razor. Very smooth, easy to work and fast.

Yes, it works just fine to shave with this razor, while it is plugged in. My husband uses it that way too.

No, and I recommend you stay away from this shaver. It does not tell you how much time is left and it does not work while it is plugged in. And the saddle that it sits and easily disconnects from the power cord without you ever knowing it unless you pay attention when you plug it in to be sure the charge light goes on. And then there's the basic design flaw that makes the head open up so that all the stubble falls over your lap.

I use this for all my bald fades. As well as face and to shave the head. It works like a champ. It's not the fastest method. But it does give a clean smooth cut. If I could upload photos I would totally show you what it does. I highly recommend this shaver

No, but I would guess that it might not work so well. I shave with it and it gives an OK shave but leaves many longer hairs on the neck. I would think that longer hair would be hard to catch on your scalp. ps when I need a close shave I use my regular razor. Hope this helps!

I use it on my head so the answer is 'yes'... provisionally. Like any electric shaver you can only let your hair go so far until you have to either use a blade or - and this is what I do - use a set of clippers with the guide removed and run them over your scalp (or face) to turn your beard/hair into short stubble. From there the Braun can handle it just fine. BUT as others have noted the Series 3 shavers do not shave as close as previous Braun razors. So you will need to take your time going over and over your head to get a close shave. I find a circular motion works best. Either that or up/down followed by side to side.

Yes but it isn['t that effective. It does not work successfully for me anywhere. I wind up using a razor after all. A waste of money.

Yes, and it shaves quite well. My objection is that the on/off switch is so "conveniently" placed that my thumb tends to turn it off while I'm shaving- I have to avoid the switch while I'm shaving. Mark

I wouldn't use this to shave your head. They make specific electric razors for that.

Will give a fast close shave on the face. The shave head will not get long hairs under the chin but they may be cut using the special attached cutter on the back of the razor. You need to see the hairs in a mirror and go after them with the cutter. I use this razor with rechargeable lithium batteries and I get many shaves before recharging them. I also like that it may be cleaned with water. Regards, Les Brown
