Sorry about it being slow. And correct I don’t do any real editing. I prefer to just do one long shot. Im just an average guy trying to share experience. Im not s hype guy, promo guy, etc.
My pleasure. I just want you to know tell it like it is without the hype or fluff (the stuff I’ve heard others say that I find a bit misleading 🤷🏼♂️) And yes I’m still using it daily.
This shaver works well with the (carver blades) And I've had mine pitbull gold for 3 years still happy with it. I do sharpen my blades monthly on a 1000 whetstone then finishing on a 5000 whetstone. using a circular motion. And the shaver works stronger using it pluged in to power for a quicker shave....
These are my thoughts after having used this shaver for 2 weeks, note that this is for the gold version and that is the first shaver for the head that I have ever bought. I think the only differences between the platinum version and this, are the shaver case and the 3-razor header adapter. - I really thought it would save me more time than using a regular electric shaver not specialized for the head, I still had to give it a quick second pass and even a 3rd, but well at least 10 min of difference is ok I guess, but really expected way more. - It is still a big pain in the butt to get cut the hair around the ears, no matter if shaved In the opposite direction of the hair growth, pushed it harder against my head, or positioned just one header in the desired area, is still almost impossible to get those annoying tiny hairs done, which really disappointed me, and I am pretty sure the 3-razor header that comes with the Platinum version wouldn't make any difference either. - The battery is very long-lasting indeed, I guess that with time it will naturally decrease the number of times you can use it without having to recharge it. - About how close the shave is, I don't really care too much about it, I just wanted to get my hair shaved quickly and without any cuts, which partially delivers, but I noticed that you get a closer shave if you use a foam or shaving gel that works well with the shaver, in my case I used a Nivea Sensitive shaving foam. - There are no instructions on how to assemble the shaver and trust me is not that obvious how to put the razors, spinning shafts, and blades together. Overall I rate this shaver 7.5, will save you some time but you expect a better performance. Btw thank you for putting this amazing review Dirk, really appreciated it!
Thanks for your input. I’ll try to respond to each point… First off the platinum version does not have a 3 headed shaver mine came with 4 headed. Yea it does safe me time and I only do a single pass, sometimes I will do a second with a rinse in between but that is rare for me. Yep a little thought to get close around the ears and I think that’s something Skull Shaver even admits too. I do use a shaving cream not a gel, I find it works better. Nope it’s not as close as a razor for sure but it also never cuts me, so I take that trade off. I’ve never used anything different so I can’t compare. I did an unboxing video and my initial full video I thought I put it all together and did not find the lack of instructions to be an issue for me anyway 🤷🏼♂️. As for being a 7.5 I’m sorry to hear that you have that experience. I find it dies save me a little time but for me it was more about not getting cut or worrying about the cuts with a razor so fir me….it’s the right solution. Thanks again for you feedback it’s very much appreciated.
No sir. I’ve been using this one a lot longer than 7mo now and still going strong. Use my link for a discount but honestly I’ve not experience and flaking or peeling at all.
Yeah I see those reviews on Amazon and the battery issues make it hard to pull the trigger on the shaver TH-cam reviews to not tally up to people that have purchase it does tally up
@@leorivers7759 yes there is always some slight stubble no matter what. It is an electric shaver it’s not ever going to be as smooth as a razor. I use mine in the shower with shave cream. I think the cream is better than gel 🤷🏼♂️ I miss the baby butt smoothness of a razor but the convenience with the skull shaver is better for me.
I don’t know how good it is but Freebird has a new FlexSeries that came out 3 months ago but I haven’t seen any reviews on how much better it is than Skull Shaver.
The reason that you get a closer shave after being up for awhile is fluid. Due to lying flat for several hours while sleeping, much of the fluid in your body just moves to, and settles in, your head. This is why we all have a "puffy face" in the morning. This keeps your whiskers from being fully exposed, and thus you shave first thing, but a bit later, as fluids leave the face/head, the whiskers that weren't exposed before, now are exposed, so you feel "sand papery." There is a bunch of info out there about it, including using a cold compress, or some brisk exercise, to get the fluids to drain back downward before shaving.
I've always wondered about this thing. I missed your initial video and I'm a year late to this one! The only time I ever used an electric was when I was in the military. My beard grows so thick that by noon it looked like I never shaved. I've never considered one for my head.
Dude TRUST ME, it’s a game changer. Initial videos are still up. And I’m about 2yrs in to using it daily and am STILL so happy I bought this thing. There’s a discount link in the description but even at full price (like I paid) it’s still a WINNER!!!
You know I just went and looked at mine closer and that’s a GREAT question. I’m screenshoting your comment and going to send to my contact at Skull Shaver and ask that question. Stay tuned I’ll respond back here when I get a response. Thanks that’s really a great point.
Sorry for the delayed response. I asked my rep about your question and here’s a copy/paste of his response… not sure I agree or liked his answer. “That would risk people getting cut, the blades are very sharp and a hazard when dulled.”
@@declancahill499 I agree but I told you I would ask and wanted to give you what I got. Outside of that answer it’s a great product I’ve been using daily and traveling with for years now.
I Wanna Buy Me One Which One Is The Best Close Shaver Cause I Heard That The Pitbull pro Is The Best When You Shave Your Head Wet It Could Be The Four Blades If You Had Five Blades It Might Be Better And Also How Long Do You Have Too Change The Blade seven Or Six Months I Saw Someone Doing The Same Review Video Like You He Said A Year.
Hi there. I bought the platinum but I think most Jane just the four blades now. So as I’ve only used a four blade version I would say go with that as they work well. As for blade changes. You’re gonna want to change every 3-4months, depending on usage. I shave daily so your mileage may very. But if you shaved once a week then maybe a year but I think even a year would be pushing it. There’s a discount code link in my video description to help save you a few bucks on whichever model you might choose. Thanks for watching.
Thanks for watching. I do realize I rambled a bit in this video. But it was early on in my channel. I believe I’ve gotten better. But I do appreciate the feedback.
I've looked at them (and some competitors) several times and then saw your unbox video. I'd been waiting on this one though. I just want the straight dope without someone trying to sell me something. Thanks, Dirk. Have a great week.
I would say it’s like 8-10ish hours after a cartridge razor shave. Kind of like a 5 o’clock shadow type feel. But the look is the same as a razor shave honestly. And I just added a promo code. Use DIRK10 to get 10% off the entire site if you decide to purchase.
Good vid Dirk buddy, I also shave my head too, since I was a young lad. I use the Remington Balder Pro, which works very well, but you are right, nothing gets as close as a wet shave with a razor blade.
How long lasting are the blades? I know you just bought a new replacement after 7 months but I am really concerned that the print card in the box states "replace every 2-6months" and I am oh man really? Like 6 months guess its fine, but every 2? I would feel scammed and returb the product if after only 2months I need to replace the blades.
Great question. I shave my head daily and have a full head of hair if I were to let it grow. That being said I think you’re safe to replace the blades approx every 6mo. The blades are about $35-40 so if you do the math is similar to replacing cartridge blades like Dollar Shave Club, etc. But to me the convenience factor far out ways buying new blades. Hope that helps. Let me know if you have any other questions.
@@DirkWerning First of all thank you so much for taking your time to reply to me, and for this very informative review. I do have another question that you would do me a really great favor in answering. Thing is that I just got my Pitbull Gold Skull Shaver model delivered today and I am suspecting that it might be broken since I can only see one of the 4 circular shaving heads actually spinning, do they actually spin ? Like looking at them when the shaver is fully assembled together?
@@adrianmoreno2354 absolutely. I really try to respond to all the comments. Yes all 4 should spin. It’s hard to see when the blades are snapped on. You can pop the blade head off and turn the shaver on no problem. You’ll see the 4 ‘shafts’ sticking up. When turned on they all 4 should be spinning. You can then snap the blades back on and they should all be spinning.
@@adrianmoreno2354 yes the shafts spin which in turn rotates the blades. What you see from the outside is a screen. Those don’t actually spin. The part that contacts your head..those doesn’t spin just under that screen spins.
I’ve shaved my head ever since I saw my wedding pics with me from behind. 20 years ago. Never used an electric shavers. I’ve been looking into them now. Thanks for the review. Not sure if I’ll get one though cause I shave every 3-4 days and I love the close shave that makes my head all shiny and smoooooth.
I’m still using mine daily. This video is older now but I’m still loving it. Sure I replace the blade head every 3-4 months but better than I was with cartridge blades. I say give it a try and if you use the link in the description you’ll get a discount. If you go get one please report back and let me know how you like it.
My pleasure. Glad I could help give you some info to help make your decision. It’s close but not razor close. Wish I had a better way to quantify it 🤷🏼♂️ Thanks for watching.
Overall seems pretty good. I think it would serve me well as I don't wet shave just clip it down as close as possible about once a month. This might be the ticket to keeping it short. Great review 👍
You get a much better, closer shave if you exfoliate one way or anther, I just wash my face and head with one of the cheap exfoliation glove, it increases shaved results
@@DirkWerning between that and for 60 secs use as hot of water you can tolerate to soften your hair and open pores, clean the dead skin and dirt off then shave, try that
Ha I’ve thought about that also. I do try to make bullet points but sometimes I get side tracked. I don’t want yo literally just read a script though I’m more just the average guy taking about stuff. Appreciate the feedback though.
Yeah I forgot to say I really wish people would stop trying to compare any electric razors to a standard handheld razor cartridge, safety, whatever a damn razor!
I get that. There is no comparison really. An actual razor blade is soo much smoother. I do miss the smoothness of a blade BUT don’t miss the bucks and cuts and a year plus with the skull shaver I’m pretty happy with it.
I got the skull shaver gold in May 2023. The motor blew within three months, got a replacement motor and it didn’t work out of the box. This is the kind of garbage these people sell? Don’t waste your money or go find another brand to use.
I’m sorry to hear that. Wish I had done pull with them but all I can say is my experience has been different and I know that doesn’t help. Hope they at least worked with you on a refund or something thing to help make the situation a bit better. And again sorry to hear that.
Sir everybody knows no electric razor even the iconic Pitbull or any of the others will ever cut as close and clean as a razor these electric ones are more for a quick convenient shave that can be decent to good depended on which electric razor you purchase. IMO 🤓
@@DirkWerning have you heard of Occam's Razor? I have a little brother. My little brother is called Danny. Danny's Razor states that: "People are idiots, and they have stupid opinions."
@@DirkWerning by the way, no pun intended with the "razor" thing. Yeah he actually has a masters in maths. And he's one of the best people you'll ever meet. He's my little brother, he's an incredible husband and father, and I genuinely look up to him.
Just some feedback on content creation, format, etc. Im 2 min and 30 seconds in so far. I came here hoping to learn your experience with the product and how well it held up the last 7 momths. So far Ive learned the backstory of your previous video, how well that video did, that you replaced the blade (but not why other than it was time), and now you are launching into how you contacted the product manufacturer. You have lost my attention at this point. I am now going to fast forward to where you start talking about the quality of the product and your experience over 7 months. See what im getting at?
Sorry for the late response missed this comment. I TOTALLY understand what you’re saying and I truly appreciate the feedback. Thank you. Hope you ended up getting some value out of the video.
@@DirkWerning No worries, have been doing some research into which Skull is better and it seems like, everything is the same with a few exceptions, blade type, color of skull and accessories.
@@nealriley4042 very true. All the blades are interchangeable. It’s really about accessories and if you want a digital display. I bought the top model just to try it out BUT I never use the rinse bucket BUT I do use the travel case. You can buy a lower model and the travel case separate if needed. I like the digital display myself. Use my link for some savings and if you’ve got any questions please let me know. I’m still using mine daily.
@@Topdog715 perfect. Yep I use plain shave CREAM not gel. Really do enjoy the Skull Shaver. I do miss the smoothness of the razor shaves I’ve done for years and years but the speed, ease and ZERO cuts is worth it.
That still doesn’t really describe it to me. Best I can still say is like a noon shadow. Not sure it’s 5oclock shadow length but certainly not razor length lol.
@@DirkWerning lol how does that not describe it dude. You know what double zero is, with a razor. This gets as close to that as possible without the razor. Pretty clear dude. Mixing up times is confusing. Cuz I get. 5 o'clock shadow a lot faster than others so you know. Everyone's different. Basically as close to double 0 without using the razor. I donno dude
Sorry man. This was one of my earlier videos and I agree (and have been told) this one got away from me. The point is…the Skull Shaver is GREAT, but not as close/smooth as a razor. I’m still using the Skull Shaver today.
Sorry you feel that way, but I do see your points there was a bit of ‘back story’ at the beginning. Apologize if I wasted some of your time getting to the meat and potatoes of it all. I do hope that the info was valuable in the end though.
Oh I agree and I used those gif 20yrs. I was looking for something ‘quicker’ and easier. I’m not sure this is quicker but I’ve certainly not cut myself with this and I had periods of time I would cut myself good with razors 🤷🏼♂️

Apparantly there is a higher grade set of blades, a swap out blades insert. Have you tried that?
There are 3 different blades. I’ve tried them all with roughly the same results.

Sir everybody knows no electric razor even the iconic Pitbull or any of the others will ever cut as close and clean as a razor these electric ones are more for a quick convenient shave that can be decent to good depended on which electric razor you purchase. IMO 🤓
Yes I totally understand that. That’s kind of what I was saying.
Braun series 9 and the Panasonic Arc 5 cut as close as a razor and are also way more comfortable
@@thedon2005 what model Braun 9 are your referring to?
Mate, NO electric shave is gonna beat a razor. There's a guard in the way.
Absolutely agree. That’s why I’m confused with a lot of the other videos out there saying it is.
@@DirkWerning have you heard of Occam's Razor?
I have a little brother.
My little brother is called Danny.
Danny's Razor states that:
"People are idiots, and they have stupid opinions."
@@StitchesLovesRats haha I love it. Danny is a smart guy haha
@@DirkWerning by the way, no pun intended with the "razor" thing.
Yeah he actually has a masters in maths. And he's one of the best people you'll ever meet. He's my little brother, he's an incredible husband and father, and I genuinely look up to him.
@@StitchesLovesRats that’s awesome. Love it. Thanks for sharing.
Dude thanks for your honesty I may get one or not.
Thanks for watching. I really just try to be upfront with my viewers.
I dare you to manscape with it!
😱😱😜
Just some feedback on content creation, format, etc. Im 2 min and 30 seconds in so far. I came here hoping to learn your experience with the product and how well it held up the last 7 momths. So far Ive learned the backstory of your previous video, how well that video did, that you replaced the blade (but not why other than it was time), and now you are launching into how you contacted the product manufacturer. You have lost my attention at this point. I am now going to fast forward to where you start talking about the quality of the product and your experience over 7 months. See what im getting at?
Sorry for the late response missed this comment.
I TOTALLY understand what you’re saying and I truly appreciate the feedback. Thank you.
Hope you ended up getting some value out of the video.
It’s not a razor blade so your definitely gonna feel some stubble. No way around that.
Absolutely agree. That’s kind of my point. A point I don’t think is generally stated.
Did you film this drunk? lol
Nope
Video to long, on to the next review. See ya
Thanks for checking in. Sorry if I rambled a little.
@@DirkWerning No worries, have been doing some research into which Skull is better and it seems like, everything is the same with a few exceptions, blade type, color of skull and accessories.
@@nealriley4042 very true. All the blades are interchangeable. It’s really about accessories and if you want a digital display.
I bought the top model just to try it out BUT I never use the rinse bucket BUT I do use the travel case. You can buy a lower model and the travel case separate if needed.
I like the digital display myself.
Use my link for some savings and if you’ve got any questions please let me know. I’m still using mine daily.
@@DirkWerning Thank you, also thank you for the link as well.
@@nealriley4042 glad to help man. Good luck with your decision.
I love my Platinum. I'm the shower it's even better.
I use mine in the shower as well.
@@DirkWerning is it me or does it seem to shave closer? Also, less irritation.
@@Topdog715 not sure as I’ve only used it in the shower lol
@@DirkWerning Comparing a dry shave or even with shave cream shower use is far superior. Your not missing anything. Lol
@@Topdog715 perfect. Yep I use plain shave CREAM not gel. Really do enjoy the Skull Shaver. I do miss the smoothness of the razor shaves I’ve done for years and years but the speed, ease and ZERO cuts is worth it.
A good way to describe it is its as close to double 0 as you can get without using a razor blade
That still doesn’t really describe it to me.
Best I can still say is like a noon shadow. Not sure it’s 5oclock shadow length but certainly not razor length lol.
@@DirkWerning lol how does that not describe it dude. You know what double zero is, with a razor. This gets as close to that as possible without the razor. Pretty clear dude. Mixing up times is confusing. Cuz I get. 5 o'clock shadow a lot faster than others so you know. Everyone's different. Basically as close to double 0 without using the razor. I donno dude
@@phillip_fnp hmmm okay.
You have a platinum
Not gold
Yes that’s true.
how is that possible talk 10min. and say nothing, such a waste of time.
Sorry you didn’t get anything from the video. Do you have any specify. Questions? I’m glad to answer anything you might have.
Turned off after 3 minutes. Get to the point dude
Sorry man. This was one of my earlier videos and I agree (and have been told) this one got away from me.
The point is…the Skull Shaver is GREAT, but not as close/smooth as a razor.
I’m still using the Skull Shaver today.
Thanks video took too long@DirkWerning
Trying to talk slow to drag out 10 mins makes it so boring
Sorry about that. That was truly not my intention at all.
This is the worst video for the information we need.
Get to the point Damn!!
Sorry you feel that way, but I do see your points there was a bit of ‘back story’ at the beginning.
Apologize if I wasted some of your time getting to the meat and potatoes of it all.
I do hope that the info was valuable in the end though.
For me a simple shaving blade like Gillette does the job and only one shave
Oh I agree and I used those gif 20yrs. I was looking for something ‘quicker’ and easier.
I’m not sure this is quicker but I’ve certainly not cut myself with this and I had periods of time I would cut myself good with razors 🤷🏼♂️
