    Hi mate. Long story short, a friend of mine sent me your videos last year that gave me the confidence to shave my ever receding hair line that I felt was holding me back from me being the best version of myself.. and was the best decision I've ever made. Since then (March 2020) I've always used electric razors and currently use the Braun series 9 which works a treat, but have always wanted that closer shave... so got a 3 blade Gillette razor.. and thats where I had the problem.. I'd love nothing more than to use the Leaf Shaver that you advertise but I have small lumps (pilar cysts) on the top of my scalp that have bled when close shaving because of the surface not being smooth. Just wondered if any of your subscribers have come across this issue and is a worthy discussion to talk about for video content. Cheers mate. Luke

    I had this 3 series and often left me with some stubble no matter how many times I repeated and stopped working under 2 years, but as it was a gift I couldn’t return. That experience led to a purchase of some shaving soap and a Yaqi brush and I haven’t looked back. Also making a lather is rather therapeutic.

    my first electric shaver (and buzzer since my Braun had that too) was Braun Series 3. It is great. I bought Wahl Balding Clippers and I can't say there is much of a difference between 2 of those regarding buzzing your head.
    And of course, there is a foil shaver if you prefer your head to be smooth, and it delivers but you shouldn't leave your hair growing for too long

      @@Baldcafe I think the biggest fears I had were the loss of ability to express myself with my hair (as a guy there generally aren’t many ways to express yourself I find), looking old and lastly the anxiety of everyone’s reaction once I’d done it. In terms of influence as I said this channel really helped, watching your journey and others journeys made me feel more comfortable with it. My brother had some kind of ‘appliance’ for years and just did it and felt a lot better with it just out there. As dumb as it sounds I looked up famous bald people and tried to inspire/encourage myself a bit. Combining all those things slowly got me there mentally and by the holiday break I was ready to just do it.

    You have to use electric shavers with the foil every other day or maybe every third day at most. Longer hair struggle with getting into those tiny holes in the foil. They will eventually get there but it will take a lot of passes and thus time. I would recommend these either to people willing to shave every day or every other day or people with very sensitive skin which gets easily irritated by razor (but they will have to shave often). It works same on the face. Daily shave with these is quick and very gentle to the skin but shaving a week old stubble is a pain in the ass.

  • @ianmuessig
    @ianmuessig Před 2 lety +16

    I used a Braun series 3 (the one with the pop up trimmer) for a long time for head shaving. It gives a great shave especially when you use a preshave like afta or lectric shave. In fact, I've owned Braun series 3, 7, and 9 and just got their new series 5 with the 'easy clean' feature and the final result/closeness of head shave are the same between all models for me. The difference is how quickly and efficiently they get you there. My only gripe with the series 3 for head shaving is the motor will start to bog down after time and the nic-cad battery dramatically loses power when you are under 50% battery remaining. Aside from that it's a great device at a great price. A Braun foil shaver gets me 98% of the way to the final result of a DE wet shave in about 5 minutes totally dry and less irritation. Cheers!

    • @Huero87
      @Huero87 Před rokem +1

  • @lewisholmes9526
    @lewisholmes9526 Před 2 lety +3

    Purchased my series 9 (On offer) based on your video Harry and love it, when compared to something like a skull shaver even though it costs more the blades last a lot longer and in the long run seems to work out a fair bit cheaper. I think it's something like 3 months vs 18 months!
    It's amazing though for a no fuss head shave every 2 days!
    Also if it's not your routine then fair enough but they're deffo better at about 2 days growth. If I go over 3 days I have to buzz my head before using the series 9 but as long as it's short enough it ploughs through the remaining hair.
    Keep up the great videos dude!

      eucalyptus and tea tree shave gel it's very mentholating it just feels so good on my head but yeah I got rashes from wet shaving with my braun electric foil razor and it felt bad because I was using to much friction and rubbing to get a perfect clean close baby's bottom smooth shave but yeah you're right you cannot beat a razor in the shower.

      Boston I am going to give this braun series 3 razor a 9 out of 10 because it's a good razor but here are 2 reasons why I give this product a 9 out of 10.
      It's because it gives me horrible rashes and hell I got small nicks and small cuts with this thing but when I use it for me face with shaving gel and shaving cream it gives me a smooth shave and that's all it matters. To me personally.
      That's why I give this product a 9 out of 10. I am a 22 year old young adult man.
      I have extremely sensitive skin. If I use a regular manual wet razor like a cartridge razor or double edge saftey razor I get theese incredibly horrible nicks and cuts, my head would start bleeding and my head would feel incredibly super duper extremely sore after using regular manual wet razors
      and that definitely won't be good at all so that's why I like to use electric wet razors because the don't nick me and cut me as much as regular manual wet razors would which is a good thing so
      using electric wet razors will do nothing extremely bad but give me really horrible rashes and that better than getting incredibly nicked and cut extremely bad. That's why I electric wet razors better than manual wet razors because they don't nick me or cut me as much as using a cartridge razor for example.

My experience with Braun (blade-shavers) so far was that they make a lot of noise, vibrate more and are less comfortable to use. (though often easier to clean than Philips shavers) I'm using Wahl clippers for my hair.

    If you want to wear longer hair than 0mm, I would use a hair trimmer like Wahl Balding Clipper.

    When I first started shaving my face I used an electric razer by philips just like my dad. But after I tried wet shaving never again. My face just got so red/irritated by the electric razor. The metal on your skin is warm/hot etc. I got a one blade for my first head shave. To get the bulk of the hair off. But otherwise I always wet shave. I only use this philips one blade for cleaning up my short beard/neck. Works fine for that. My neck area was always a disaster to shave, wet or electric. With the one blade it is smooth enough without a lot of irritation. For my head I have used the twig for a short while. Not super impressed with closeness of the shave but I am still in the learning curve. And well I used a head blade before that and still mix it up with the twig. Super easy and quick to use but it has 4 blades. So not very fair perhaps to compare to the twig. Will try the twig with some better blades soon.

    I haven’t watched the video, just wanted to say that I own both and the Braun Series 3 gave me the worst skin irritation that I have ever experienced. It’s a good shaver, especially for that price, however if your skin is sensitive or/and your hair is thick then probably you should invest a little bit more and get a better product or stick with the razor. In my case Braun Series 9 was definitely worth it, mostly because I can shave my head daily, it takes 10 minutes to do so, I won’t end up with skin irritation, the shaver won’t get clogged up.

      Honestly feels just as smooth as a wet shave when I'm done, and is miles better than any of my previous electric shavers and a lot less faff.
      The only difference - versus traditional razor - is that I can feel hair growing back just ever so slightly sooner. But I'm only talking about 2 to 3 hrs sooner, that's all.
      So the Babyliss, for me at least, is superb.
      I have a full head of hair, use it daily, and it takes me no longer than 12 mins for a full head shave, including clean-up. It's wickedly powerful!
      Worth checking out and reading reviews etc, if you're looking at the Andis.
      Hope that's useful for you.

      @@SharkxBait93 ; From start to finish, nowadays, a full head shave with the Babyliss takes me no more time than a full wet shave - about 12 minutes. And yes, I really have been sad enough to time myself!
      It's just about finding your rhythm with them, that's all, and letting your head / hair get used to them.
      Never used Andis, so can't comment, and to be honest the only reasons I picked the Babyliss were; (a) a good price at the time, (b) liked the solid metal finish compared the plastic Andis, and (c) a barber mate of mine recommended them.
      They weigh a fair bit, but they feel reassuringly solid and well built. Came with a spare foil/head too.

      @@cherchil Hey Viper, I'd have a look at each of them and see how you feel, if there's an outlet where you can physically get your hands on them.
      Like I've previously said, I can only comment on the performance of shavers I own and have used and, for me at least, the "Babyliss ProFoil Titanium" is by far the best, and really speaking I should have just got that one to begin with.
      I've had the Babyliss for ages now and I use it pretty much daily. I've only needed to change the foil once (still on original blades) and it never ceases to amaze me just how well and close it shaves.
      Like with any new electric shaver, it feels like it takes forever to shave your head with it to begin with. But as you get used to it, find your rhythm, technique and what works best for you, it takes no time at all. 12 mins max for me, on a full head of hair with a super-smooth finish. Love my Babyliss, it's fantastic, and all my others are totally redundant now.
      Whichever you decide to buy, just make sure you clean it properly after each use. If you look after it, it'll look after you, is how I see it.

    The barbers tend to knock down more than a day or two growth with a t blade trimmer first. Perhaps that would allow the blue one to function better. Otherwise, the new Andis reSurge is giving the Brauns a run for their money. I love mine!

      The 9 Pro is the only one that I am aware of that claims 7 days of hair growth. The most I let my hair get to is 4 to 5 days and it cuts excellent through that. I cut Monday morning for the work week, Friday morning to close out the week and I touch up Saturday morning with a manual Defender razor to keep that part of my shave game strong.

    I have the series 3 for head shaving, cost me £60 as it came with the beard trimming attachment, which is rubbish. The 3 doesn't work well with long hair, you don't want to go longer than 3-4 days, and it's much better in the shower with foam than dry. It's good if you want to see if electric shaving is for you, you don't want to spend 100s on a shaver and not like it.

    What would u recommend to someone who looks for something between hair clipper and head shaver in terms of closeness of the shave? Since you have reviewed many of them, I'd be grateful for some recommendation of a head shaver that doesn't need to go over and over again on the same place, but doesn't shave as smooth as a razor or pro head shavers, but still closer than any hair clipper.

    • @Baldcafe

    Again a very informative video, thanks to you!
    It would be great if you could take a look at one of the most fascinating hair clippers I have ever seen: The Oster 76 (in Europe it's called the Oster 97) with the 0000 or even 00000 blade. Honestly, I've never used these clippers because I love to wet shave my head. But my fascination with these clippers continues, especially when it comes to a comparison between the Wahl Balding Clipper and the Oster 76 (97) with the 0000 or 00000 blade. Which clipper cuts shorter and more comfortably without irritations. I would be really curious about that. But beware: it is quite an expensive professional device. So nothing for in between.

    I've used the series 3 or a few days now. While it shaves my cheeks fairly well (both wet and dry), it drastically fails when it comes to my jawline and neck, which means I still need to resort to a razor in the end for those parts, which defeats the purpose of getting a foil shaver in the first place. 😖

    A suggestion for a video:
    Use the Oster 97 with the Blade 00000 (0,2mm) to do an extremely close cut buzz-cut.
    I use a Moser 1400 and buzz my hair off with no gard, but this only cut my hair down to 0,7 millimeters.
    I know you have done this with the WHAL BaldingClipper but this machine only cuts only down to 0,4 mm.
    Is there a big difference between 0,4 and 0,2 millimeter buzz-cut? That is what I'm curious about. 🤔
