1. Trim your hair first

If you are new to head shaving you probably wonder where to start and how to shave hair at home with an electric razor.
First of all, cut your hair real short before shaving your head, otherwise, you might hurt yourself, ending up with knicks and cuts on your skin/ Tip: the thinner the hair the shorter we recommend cutting your hair before using the shaver. For instance, if you intend to use Skull Shaver, we recommend applying int on hair with a maximum length of 4mm. For hair longer than 4mm, we advise cutting them down with a clipper/trimmer (checkout out the Beast Clipper for Skull Shaver), and only then use our shavers, to avoid clogged blades, pulled hair and overall unpleasant shaving experience.

The next logical question to answer is: “How to shave your head with clippers?”. You can use hair clippers, trimmers and balding clippers to cut your hair. The main difference between them is that hair clippers are also for cutting long hair and have various attachments to adjust the length of the hair. While hair trimmers are suited for shorter hair and for areas like chin and neck. We recommend using our Beast Clippers for hair longer than 0.5-1 mm. It will allow you to trim your hair real short and prepare your skin for a completely smooth shave. Alternatively, the Beast Clipper is perfect for those who want to leave a little fuzz or stubble. Skull Shaver hair clippers have 8 cutting combs of 3mm, 6mm, 9mm and 12mm suitable for any type of hair, with which you can easily get to tough areas, for instance, to cut the hair on the back of your head or the sides of your head.

2. Wet or dry shave, with or without foam

As you’ve got your haircut, it is time to choose between wet or dry shave. Unlike shaving razors, Pitbull waterproof shavers let you shave your head and face both with water and without it. You can even shave in the shower, as Pitbull shavers are enriched with IPX5 100% water resistance technology. Note, however, that it is not allowed to submerge the shaver into the water since it will damage the motor. Thanks to the large drive gear and super flexible structure you will get an extremely close cut and a clean shave on your head in just a few minutes. Our bald head shavers come with re-engineered high-quality blades, ensuring a real smooth and soft shave. These sharp blades protect your skin and make the grooming process much easier. Another advantage over mechanical razors is that electric shavers do not give any painful nicks or cuts thus protecting your skin. It is a perfect solution for those with sensitive skin, with tattoos, moles, birthmarks or other skin issues. This makes the use of electric head shavers like Pitbull rather safe. This also gives the freedom to choose between wet or dry shave, according to your preferences. Whether it be with plain water, soap, shaving foam or gel, you always get the results you are looking for.

How to wet shave your head?

If you decide to go with the wet shave, here are a couple of quick tips to ensure you get the best results.

• Avoid blunt blades. Make sure the blades of the electric shaver are sharp enough to avoid razor burns, skin irritation, nicks, cuts, and razor bumps.
• Exfoliate the skin before the shave. This way you will take dead skin cells away for an extra smooth shave. You can use exfoliating brushes by Skull Shaver
• Wash your face with warm water. Wash your face with warm water to open the pores and calm down the skin or just put a warm wet towel on the areas you are going to shave. It’ll soften the hair follicles and make it easier for the razor to take off the hair
• Use shaving brushes. Synthetic bristles of shaving brush hold lots of water thus, ensuring a thicker lather of shaving foam. The shaving brush will also massage and soften your skin and prepare it for a safe shave by increasing the blood circulation and protecting the skin from irritations, nicks and cuts. You can give a try to Skull Shaver shaving brushes!
• Apply shaving cream. foam or gel. Spread the foam, gel or cream thoroughly and lift the facial hair with the shaving brush for an extra close shave. Give your preference to the glycerin-based gel since an alcohol-based gel will dry your face out.
• Apply the electric shaver on your skin in circular motions
• Rinse your face with cold water, to close the pores so they can regenerate
• Use after-shave or moisturizer. This will heal and moisturize your skin after the shave and will serve as an extra layer of protection since you just lost hair and skin cells.
• Rinse the shaving brush
• Rinse the shaver. You can simply rinse the blades under the running water or open them in a snap for deeper cleaning inside and out.

Our shavers are proven to be the best for sensitive skin since they provide a gentle shave while minimizing the skin irritation.  While the shaver plays a primary role, we still recommend using aftershave gel, balm, lotion or cooling moisturizers to keep your shaved head smooth and moist. They will prevent infections and reduce razor burns, also will soothe and repair the irritated skin. You should also know that newly shaved skin has higher chances of getting a sunburn.

While your head and skin require appropriate care before and after shaving, let’s not forget about the shaver itself, which also needs to be taken care of. You’ll spend less than a minute rinsing our Pitbull self-cleaning shavers. Platinum Rinse Stand included in the Pitbull Platinum kit or sold separately makes the cleaning easy and fast.

5. The frequency of the shave

This has always been a controversial question, and there is no universal answer to it since it will heavily depend on your hair and skin features. Shaving frequently has both advantages and disadvantages. Shaving takes away dead skin from your body, so it’s good for your skin health. At the same time, you look fresh and neat after shaving and women like a fresh bald look. However, if your skin is too sensitive, or you are using mechanical razors or low-end shavers, which usually, cause skin irritation, your skin needs time to recover. That means you cannot shave every day. On the contrary, if your hair is growing rather fast, you might need to shave every day. Our Pitbull shavers are proven to be protective of your skin. Due to its extra sharp blades and flexible structure, the Pitbull shavers give you a perfectly close shave, without harming your skin. It is important to know, however, that once you switch to Skull Shaver your skin needs some time to adapt to the new shaving routine. So don’t be stressed if the results after the first shave are not satisfying. Give your skin 2 to 3 weeks to adapt and the results will be surprising.
