I bought Babyliss FX3. I use it to shave my head. It shaves basically like a razor blade - the head is as smooth as a "dolphin". Compared to Andis - FX3 has a more powerful engine and shaves faster. It deals better with thick hair at the back of the head. Babyliss FX2 does not shave as close as FX3. FX3 is better in this respect - I saw a video on KZread showing how smooth it is after using FX3. And FX2 left tiny hair ends visible. Braun Series 9 does not shave as close to the skin as all the foil shavers mentioned above. So if someone wants to have a smooth head like a dolphin - I highly recommend Babyliss FX3

Cheapest and most efficient way to shave it is to buy a leaf, a leaf twig, or a leaf thorn. Buy the razor, then buy double edge safety blades. They are so cheap. Like 100 for a fiver. And the leaf thorn and twig take singles so you just snap them in half. You don't seem to have much hair on top, so it should take you maybe like 3 mins. But it is a skill. But one worth mastering.

Babyliss fx will cut closer, but will take longer. Braun series 9 is fast and the Pro model cuts 4 days and up to 7 they say. I can vouch for it only taking about 5-6 minutes for a cut of 4 day beard and head growth. You will not be able to do that with the babyliss. Really comes down on what you value more.... money or time. Both machines are great and they both have cons as well as Pros.

I do have some stubble when using the foil shaver but I definitely like it more than a razor. Occasionally I’ll get some irritation here and there but just make sure you use some aftershave and rub it in real good.
@@Mphand.416 Appreciate the reply. I agree, foil shavers are much more convenient vs blade shaving.
A good quality aloes gel after help the skin to recover faster for the next shave.
@@Mphand.416 Hello, Michael a question for you is the FX2 aggressive on the scalp or on the back of the neck? i shave my head every 2 to 3 days would that be possible with the babyliss fx2 or do you have to shave every day? and how long does the shaving head last, after how many months does it have to be replaced? and which disinfectant spray do you use exactly what is it called ? greetings stephan ;)
This or the FX3 version?
I haven’t tried the FX3 version but this one works great for me.
ive tried foil and rotory shavers and they leave my head like clippers with no guard on it so i still have to use a traditional 5 blade razor where it leaves my head smoother
Have you trimmed your hair short as you can get it before using the foil? I have no stubble I use no razers for my head no stubble after with foil? I Kno hair types differ tho
@@alexwright1490 What foil shaver do you use?
@@josefinafinosa7502 babyliss fx3 are about the best out right now
@@Beardman56 Can I get the Michael Jordan bald head like with this shaver?
@@josefinafinosa7502 if you can go against the grain without irritation and learn proper technique with them they will leave you completely bald and able to feel no hair. The back of my head is bad at getting ingrown hairs so I can't get it that smooth there but everywhere else is smooth as can be when I'm done
I am going to order the metallic version today, i have shaved my head with Gillette Fusion 5 but a set of knifes has become so expensive. Think about it, a value pack of 16 knifes in sale is €98,-the normal price is around €114,- 😱. This thing will cost me €101,- together with a bottle of Blade Ice it will cost me round €114,- so the choice is easy! I will use Gillette only for my facial hair but to keep my head smooth and baldy I use the BaByliss 🖐️😁🤚
That’s good to hear. I think you’re going to really enjoy the foil shaver. I know I do. Good luck 👍.
Could you get away with shaving with this every 3 days? I'm used to using clippers but want to get a closer shave, however i'm lazy and would like to do it every 3 days if possible. Just not sure if hair would be too long..
I have gone 3 days before and still was able to use it. Just takes a little bit longer but it will work. It definitely works better the shorter the hair is though.
I use a 5 blade in the shower every 2 days, smooth in about 45 seconds, face, head, neck? Lol. You spend 10 minutes, and say just like that lol, but i have 50 years practice, my blades 1 dollar each, good for 15 shaves, cost me 12 a year, electric beats yer skin, not better, been there done that in 1975, tried a modern 3 foil shaver, no good, too slow, leaves bumps, razor in the shower, the best by far
Glad to hear a razor works better for you. Thanks for commenting.
Do you put oil on those before you start or you are good to go?
I do not put any oil on it. I keep it very clean. I probably should but haven’t had any issues with out it.
@@Mphand.416 Ok thanks & good to know I just bought Foil shaver and gonna start experimenting 👍🏼
30/40 Minutes to shave your head with a razor. Get the fuck out of here!
not everyone has massive bald spots with baby fine blond hair like you might have. there are people out there who have a healthy full set of strong dark hair who still like to shave their head smooth and this could take anywhere between 15 - 50 minutes depending on shaving gear, methods, preparation, cleaning and such
Not a chance it's as close as wet shaving I don't know why people lie
Thanks for watching 👍
Yes it is. Try one before you call someone a liar
@@realtalk37851 I have. In fact I've tried multiple. So what's your next stupid comment
I bought one here in England a few days ago from Amazon and I can confirm that it is as close if not closer than a wet shave with razor. I know this because the barber who wet shaved my head told me to purchase one as he swore by it. I also use the Remington rx5 my Mrs bought me for Xmas, but that tends not to get in the trickier areas well like behind the ears and gives me bumps on the back of my head.
@@user-zg5ej3yh1y give over. Not at all I've used that exact one
hey dude! are you still enjoying this thing? im in the market for something as i just finished wet shaving and yeah.... i dont wanna be razer shaving.... Lemme know!
I absolutely still love it. I still use it everyday. It saves me so much time. I don’t think I’ll ever go back to razor shaving my head.
Hello, Since you have already used this razor and have observations on it, can you tell us how the battery behaves? Now that some time has passed, does the battery drain faster, or does it still last 3 hours like new?
I probably charge it once a month. You can kind of tell when it starts to drain. When it’s fully charged it cuts so much smoother. I have been in the middle of cutting and it has died. I charged it for about 30 minutes and had enough juice to finish cutting.
@@Mphand.416 Thanks for your answer and the wonderful video. New subscriber! An additional question: do you lubricate your shaver with oils that are used for clippers?
Hello, Congratulations on the wonderful video. I would like to ask, shaving the head with this shaver, is it as smooth as with a razor and wet shave? Is it perfectly smooth?
Yes and no. I run this razor every direction to get that smooth feeling as if I’m shaving with a razor.
I use a rotary shaver and my head doesn't look as smooth as yours.
Rotary shavers are garbage for head shaves.
@@patrickpettyjr.3134 Yes they are. Found out the hard way. I use Harry's razor now every day or two. So smooth and much easier!
@@EnhancedChimp I use a Braun Series 9; gives fast clean shaves everytime!
@@patrickpettyjr.3134 I did look into the Braun serie 9 but it is very expensive. I heard good things about it though.
@@EnhancedChimp It is, indeed, expensive. However, its performace justifies its high cost. You know, I'd also recommend you try the Braun Series 7. It's half the cost of the Series 9 and it performs just as good. In fact, some consumers claim it's still better than the Series 9.
The best between babyliss foilfx02 and braun serie 9 which is the most efficient?
Babyliss fx will cut closer, but will take longer. Braun series 9 is fast and the Pro model cuts 4 days and up to 7 they say. I can vouch for it only taking about 5-6 minutes for a cut of 4 day beard and head growth. You will not be able to do that with the babyliss. Really comes down on what you value more.... money or time. Both machines are great and they both have cons as well as Pros.
Razor takes me 3 min tops to shave my head. Foil takes about 20 min
Yeah but some people just can't use razors, even safety razors
Ordered the Black edition 😎
I have the same shaver, get yourself a preshave like lectric shave or even better afta & you get even more hair
I just bought mine but the cutters don't spin. Are they suppose to spin as soon as you turn it on? I wanna know if mine is faulty.
They’re not supposed to spin
@@Mphand.416 thank you, Michael.
Nice video, thanks man.
Michael do you use this shaver every day
I try to but it’s more like 2-3 days at most.if I go any longer, I have to take my trimmers to my head to shorten the hair to make it easier to run the shaver over it.
Michael ok I have stubble so I probably use it I used to have andis shaver but it broke. I stop using straight razor I was getting cuts
I have to shave everyday because I don't like stubble
Thanks I appreciate your video
Me: In the garage watching video Wife: are you really watching some guy shave his head?? Me: I gotta get that shaver!
Me too
Great video man. Convinced me to order one. Get some affiliate links for your self man.
Great vid, i envy your beard. I'm gonna buy this shaver in a couple of days, i have a top knot now. I'm not balding, i just don't like having hair. Take care
Fresh shave is the best feeling man, been using a foil shaver for 6 odd months now. Way better than a razor 🤙
Can't beat the proper smooth feel of a razor shave don't get that with this
That’s a great looking beard brother.
Have you needed to change the blades yet with the constant use?
I actually just ordered the foil/shaver replacement off Amazon about a week ago. It cost me about $30 but totally worth it.
That thing is the truth...I got the chrome one and it amazes me everytime I use it. I was previously using my andis t outliners and the occasional razor buy now I use the andis to trim the mustache and beard and I don't ever touch blade. This thing changed my damn life.
