Hello. I would be using this for my head. I don't like to use a shaver but still want a VERY close cut. Would this be good for that? Thanks!

It won't cut as close as a good shaver, but it cuts closer than any trimmer that I've ever owned. Note that it will take more passes to trim your entire head since the cutting area is only 1-1/8" wide, and will not follow the contours of your head since it will not flex (as will a shaver). I don't shave my head, but it does a great job around sideburns and around the neckline. I would buy this trimmer again for my uses.

Yes, just go very slow with a continuous motion, very sharp on the edges watch for loose skin & around the ears

This is more for trimming and grooming facial hair. Though they are durable, you'd be better off going to wahl's site, looking under pro tools, and investing in a good set of their hair clippers. They are not much more than this model , will suit your purpose better, and all have replaceable blades available for very little. Some are even rechargeable lithium, if you really want to ditch the cord during use. Find the ones you like, and see if amazon has them. Wahl will provide a list of authorized sellers, as the pro line is not sold at many stores.

It would work for that, but would be very time consuming due to the fact that the blade is only about an inch wide. And u would still feel a little stubble. But it would def cut it and work a little closer that normal clippers... If u wanted large clippers to do the same cut just get a "000" blade for it (called triple zero)

It would definitely work, of course would not be as close as a razor and shaving cream...I would say try it- I am a hairdresser so I do have faith in this product or I wouldn't recommend it:))

it would give you a close cut and it's small enough to give you better control. i use it on my small dog's pads of her feet and they do a great job.

I don't think it is designed for that heavy duty use. Although the process will be tedious, I bet you can use it to shave your head.

This was a gift for my husband, so I asked him. He doesn't shave his head so he regrets he is unable to help you with an answer to this question. He says his shaves faces very well. I can't think of any reason that it wouldn't be good for head shaving, but it is likely we don't know much about that. So sorry we can't really help.

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!

No, this is not a close shave for every day use on the face. This is an excellent body shaver, but the attachment that comes with will easily take care of stubble on the chest and such. For use on the face, you'd want Braun Cruzer 5 Face Cruzer, 5 Face Shaver . It's by far the best I've ever used, and it's only a bit more expensive than this. It can also sit in your shower, if that's your concern.

I use it as a hair trimmer. You could use it to shave but depending on how much growth you have it may not cut close enough for you. However its great for trimming and precise in edging.

Just checked wwith the person who uses it. No. You can shave really close but not " bald".

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

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.

They provide a very close shave for those areas. I have used the to shave my face after a week's beard growth with ease.... not razor close of course but very close for a battery powered clipper.

My father has coarse (hard to cut) facial hair and this shaver worked for him for almost a year before he complained. He is retired military and likes a very close and clean shave. I wouldn't recommend this shaver for the head but my dad doesn't use it for that, so I can't say for sure.

Yes, I use it for a very close cut. Have had it for almost a year now. Still works great.

Yes, I shave my head with it. Only thing it won't last as long like using a razor. If you want long lasting results try use an electric razor.

You could use it to shave your head. However it would take a long time. You would only be able to shave a couple inches at a time. Then again in the opposite direction and lastly against the grain. My boyfriend doesn't advise it.

This Razor is good and will not cut you but it doesn't cut s close as a razor blade or a foil shaver. I would prefer a trimmer with a wider blade to trim the back of my neck, to keep a straight line. I hope this helps.

I wouldn't recommend this for cutting hair on a head at all. One stroke and you have to clean it, another stroke, clean, etc. My husband loves it for his face but that's it.

This will definitely give you a close shave but not like a razor will. But you can finish it up with the wahl 5 star shaver for the closes shave ever without the bumps and ingrown hairs.
