In todays video I try out the Pitbull Gold electric razor from Skull Shaver.
Any product aimed at making the lives of bald men better gets a thumbs up from me but lets put it to the test!
This is a review of head shaving dry after 3 days of not shaving my head. I shave my head because I went bald 👍

Hi guys I think it’s time I updated my thoughts on this product. It’s good and it will do the job but I think there are better options out there now if you really want an electric shaver. It’s also expensive and not always reliable despite claims that reliability of the product has improved in newer versions. 👍 just keeping it 💯 that’s my opinion.
Thank you for keeping it real Harry, would you prefer the Remington rx5 to this?
Do you have a preferred electric shaver if you wanted the buzz or 0.2mm style?
I used to own this and it had the same problem that all rotary shavers do. It irritated my skin too much because it requires so many passes over the skin and it is more abrasive than a foil shaver. I wish somebody would make a foil shaver like the Series 9 or Arc 5 but with a handle/body similar to the skull shaver. Even the skullshaver is too square for my taste. It should be a rounded body that is shaped perfectly for the palm to hold at the right angle for shaving the head.
Thanks for the video! What would you recommend is better than the pitbull skullshaver? Is the remington head shaver better?
So what other ones would you recommend
@@letsgotomarsman Braun series 9. Or the redesigned Series 7 with the 360 degree rotating head. No irritation whatsoever and as close as the blade.
Been using one of these for about a year now, what I like is that the power stays consistent regardless of charge and it keeps all the shavings in the machine so you don't need to worry about getting stuff on your clothes, instead of going no guard with clippers every day I only need to use my skullshave every 2-3 days and I'm yet to need to change the head as the original one I have is still going strong, would definitely recommend 👍
I just got it in the mail today. I ordered the Gold model with four heads. It’s hefty, the heads are more sturdy than norelco electric beard shavers. This shaver is in a class by itself, no competition. I used it today for the first time with 5 days stubble and it works as advertised, down to the skin. Goodbye are the days of nicking my scalp with blades, and making a mess after cutting hair first with clippers. This Pitbull cuts without the mess, without the nicks.
This message was brought to you by the fine folks over at Skull Shaver
Buyer beware. Mine lasted about 2 months, shaving just once a week. Skull shaver wanted me to pay for it to be shipped back so they could repair it. (They refused to pay for the shipping) So be cautious that if it fails, you will incur further charges. I threw mine in the bin and have gone back to disposable razors, i'm actually shaving in about the same time it took with this anyway and getting a closer shave to boot.
Thanks for this insight. The amount of reviews stating this products reliability is really concerning. I Have contacted them to ask about this and they said it was due to a faulty batch. However there are so many people talking about reliability issues I'm wondering how many faulty batches we are talking about here.
Thank you for the heads up.
I wish I could find a reliable product.
@@Baldcafe Thing is you get electrical goods that are faulty, as long as the person selling it sorts it out at no cost then fine these things happen.
The sales of good act means faulty goods don't have to be returned at any cost to the buyer.
Was thinking about getting one but as soon as I read anything about a seller trying to make someone pay to send something back when faulty I'm out.
I'd have gone through small claims they'd have blinked first as they were breaking the law.
I bought the Pitbull Gold 9 months ago and use it 2-3 times per week with shaving cream in the shower. It works great for my busy life and is decently smooth with no irritation. I just follow up with Bump Patrol and moisturizer with tea tree oil.. Sorry you had that experience. I don't have a ton of time to shave so this is perfect for me.
The skull shaver does it all. It shaves your head, your face and even your nose and ears with an attachment. It doesn't get anymore convenient than this for an all in one solution. The first time I used mine the other day I couldn't believe how close it was without any pain, particularly on my neck that always cuts and ends up breaking out in redness and pimples when I use a razor or even clippers. This is life changing for me!
I actually just got the gold about two weeks ago and love it, I like it just to switch up from razor shaving every other day. I use mine dry, tried it wet with shaving gel but personally prefer just running it dry. You stated it best quick and fast, easy to use and clean and I live on a fixed income so not too awful bad as prices have come down now. I have mad respect for your beard young feller as I am trying to get mine to shape like yours here, love the more square type look if you know what I mean. I had to subscribe to your channel, nice job and awesome review.
I have been using it for about 3 months now and it is great. Like with any product, either its good to you or you have problems with it. I do use it every other day and the power stays the same if at 100% or 20%. My skin is sensitive so after the shave i use facial towel cleaner and finish it off with a moisturizer. Your vids are great and keep on doing your thing for us.
Cheers Edwin, pleased to hear you have found a great product that works for you 👍 thats the most important thing.
Does the hair fall all over and make a mess?
How does it collect the hair?
Been using this for a few months and it gets pretty close but last week for the hell of it I decided to use my wife's shave oil and it gets so much closer and helps it glide across my head with no irritation. So I would reccomend using it in the shower with shave oil
I have alopecia areata and have been shaving with a razor for years now thinking it hides my spots the best, but I just got the skull shaver yesterday and I love it so far, great channel man, I've been checking out a few of your videos
Have got also Alopecia Areata.. Could you find out, how to hide the spots the best?
Using Gillette Fusion 5 at the moment...It's good enough, but you can still see the spots
I requested this as a Father's Day gift. That way, if it didn't work, I wouldn't have wasted my own money. I'm actually shocked at how well it works. I've never had this type of bowling ball shine before. Lol
😂 great plan
I bought a skullshaver years ago. I find it is quite good when you use it with water.
But to be fair, it takes just as long as using an actual razor to get it pretty smooth. Using the skullshaver dry is a great concept, but, my head became really dry and was very irritated by this.
To this day, nothing will be as good as an old wet shave.
You probably have the best shaped head I’ve ever seen... and that’s coming from another bald guy with a great shaped head.
I use the pit bull platinum pro nice quick clean shave, never experienced any discomfort before or after shaving but totally agree with using a moisturiser afterwards.
Decided to ignore reviews and comments pointing out faulty units or breaking after a short while. This was a mistake as mine was dead on arrival. Fortunately they do honor their 30 day guarantee so I ended up paying the shipping fee in order to have the unit sent back. Therefore, I would recommend taking skullshaver's build quality into serious consideration before handing over the money.
The combo of beard and bald head looks ruthless.
I just started shaving my head with a Yamika bald spot. Your channel has helped tremendously. Thank you for having this channel. It helped!!!
I feel like no product is perfect. With that said, I've had great success with this product right out the gate.
It also gives me a pretty tight shave. Convenient, fast & easy to use. 👍
I have the same model. Really impressed with mine. My battery last about 4-5 shaves of my head. No razor bumps after. Easy to clean just turn it on and run that blades under water. Would definitely recommend. So much better than calling my wife in to shave my head at the sink. I shave my head roughly twice a week. Doesn't cope well with cutting through a grade 1 or above though.
I think the convenience of it is a big selling point for sure. I wonder how it would last up if used daily.
Wet shaving stands the test of time. Nothing compares.
yeah its just a pain in the ass to do all the time
Thank you brother just bought one from online after watching this
How did you find it mate?
I get replacement heads for 14 to 17 dollars on Amazon or ebay....I have the gold n love love loveeeeee it!!!
Treatment for what I like to call... the ‘Wembley Stadium’ syndrome 😁
im gonna go ahead and toss this in the "if you're in a pinch, and need to clean up a bit" category. Not bad, definitely not as effective as a full shave, but also a lot less involved and suitable for those who find themselves in a bit of a rush.
No, it is. Get a shower, lather up your head. Just as smooth as a blade. Not sure why people use it dry.
@@trumpeteer211 good advice
Been shaving my head for 25 years. Can't beat a razor
I love this machine. First clean save in years.
Do ever use shaving cream when using this machine?
Not a bad shave. Could be good for certain guys. Actually might be great for traveling. Could possibly pick this up for that reason.
It seems like too much work though for day to day use. I shave my head every day only with the grain. Still a smooth shave, quick, no irritation. Takes 2 min and then slap on a good post shave balm and good to go.
Guys with irritation, try using pre shave oil (I use American crew), cremo shave cream, and shaving with the grain only. Just an idea.
Thanks for the awesome tips. I forgot to mention in this video but the designer of the product did have the transportability of the product in mind when designing it. I think the inspiration came whilst he was on a business trip.
Cremo is a very solid brand. That was my first shaving cream and I never looked back since then. Tried different ones here and there just to experiment but for me cremo is top notch.
For non English speaker here. What does "with the grain" mean?
@@summerfish9320 I shave following the direction the hair grows. To get the super smooth shave, you would then shave against the direction the hair grows. So I basically just shave top to down (start at crown of head and shave down towards the neck). It pretty much looks the same and is still pretty smooth, just not completely.
@@ryanturner8577 Thank you for the answer
you can use it while driven. I love it. Its not skin tight, but it close like the next day. When I shave my head i do it before i go to bed. But this i can cut/shave my head while i’m drinking my morning coffee
What's like compared to the Remington RX5 head shaver ?
I saw this advertised on Instagram so I came to TH-cam to find a review. I'm thinking about getting it for my Dad for Christmas. Awesome video
Take a look at the Remington RX5 (might have a slightly different name in other countries) it came out after this one and it’s probably a bit better. If you are looking for specific head shaving things then also take a look at “head blade” also great but it’s more of a razor shave 👍 Merry Christmas 🎄
I would not recommend this raise it to anybody it is not with the money
Thanks so much for this review. I bought the Skull Shaver Pitbull because of your review, and I love it. works great, cleans great, and its fast and does an awesome jobs every time.
Do you need to use it every day?
Mrbraqe I’m not stuck on the baby butt smooth l, and I have salt n pepper hair these days so I use it probably 3-4x per week. Just enough to keep it to almost or nothing.
Is it still working alright a year later?
@@gavbridges yep still works like a champ. I just make sure to clean out the blades periodically and oil them. Battery lasts almost 6mo for me and still charges up fast. Rock solid product. No problems at all.
@@UBRLND-X how has it held up? Do you still recommend it?
I just bought a four blade version a couple days ago and really like it. I like this video as it gave me an idea of what to expect. Thank you, you have a friend in Columbus Ohio USA!
Do you still prefer the Remington RX5 over the Skullshaver brand of shavers?
7 months later he still hasn't made up his mind apparently
I've been working my way down the grades for a few months now; first 2, then 1, then no guard, then no guard on my beard trimmer as the blades cut closer, and this seems like the next logical step.
Always feel on top of my game after I've had a fresh shave. Oddly enough I really enjoy being bald!
I was sad when I realized my hair was thinning but honestly being bald isn't too bad haha. Feel fresh all the time. No bed head.
I always feel better after shaving my head.
I'm not actually balding, I just don't like having hair.
Also a shaved head can be washed with your face daily to stay super fresh!!!!
I used my step pops one, not even the same model, it was a cheaper one but it works well. I’m buying one very soon for in between wet razor shaves.
Been waiting for this one!! My heads too sensitive for a razor so I’ve just been going no guard but wanna get closer
Its an interesting product. What razor are you using?
Baldcafe I ended up buying a Braun series 3 for about 80$ US. Brought it down so close I couldn’t even tell the difference! No irritation I’m Super happy with it. This is my new look now instead of the no guard
@@MiamiSammy I'm a year late to the party but I'm looking for the closest shave I can get without wet shaving. How did the Braun shaver treat you Sammy? Have you found anything better since then? Cheers
You mean the shaver is better for sensitive skin than a razor?
It’s weird how some people still can look so young bald!
AB Adam
Letting your beard grow gives you a good contrast, so that could be the reason for the why.
I use a braun 3040s on the side of my head it goes baby but smooth so so good even though it’s ment for your face don’t know if you’re supposed to use it on ya head but I do and it’s great 👍🏻
i got my pitbull today, 100% charged and ready to go...i had 6 days growth on my head and my face...shaved nicely
Hi. I tried this shaver, but sent it back. I can get a closer shave for less money with the Remington 360
I have a remtington razor waiting for me to review really hoping its impressive.
for the money, I think it’s superb. But like the skull Shaver, you have to go over your head several times to get it smooth
I know this comment is 3 months old, but i too have the remington flex 360, and get really bad razor bumps on my neck. I'm going to try a DE razor today i think. Any advices?
@@supertrampalex Yes, don't do it.
I got one a week ago. It lasted exactly one use before it failed.
Damn this isn’t good! I was confident they may have improved reliability
Pros: Less time worrying about cutting, convenient, in time your hair will be more accustomed to the blades used so don't worry about the first couple tries for the close shave, lastly it's pretty sleek and shiny like my head after use.
Cons: Not everyone will agree. To each is their own.
I purchased the gold pro, but it is not a 5 head, but a 4 head. It also didn't come with an extra head. I like it and I use BEE BALD Post shave cream and the shaving cream and the post shave cream.
I love this product it’s definitely a game changer.
Perfect for when I go bald 👍🏻
My wife just got me this as an early father's day gift. First time I'll be using one of these since I shave with a safety razor
Is it a good razor?
@@Alyssababe it's actually really good
dixienormous7777 i hear so many bad reviews im scared to buy it for my boyfriend
@@Alyssababe really? I've been using it on my bigass head for about 3 months and it's been great so far. You should check around for other brands and see which ones have the best reviews.
dixienormous7777 thank you for your input. I just really loved how it looks but the reviews got me down ill probably buy it and hope he likes it. Thank you
Great product and so very easy to use. Highly recommended
Very nice shave! Alternative use for people with razor bumps.
JKnowledge seems like another good product but I’ve seen a few videos concerning its reliability. Have you used it?
Baldcafe Ive heard about it but will give it a try because finding a good razor that wont give me razor bumps for me is like finding a needle in a haystack
I'll keep looking.
I just had brain surgery and have a scar behind/around my ear. Do you think this would work over a scar? Thanks in advance.
I just got the platinum version im loving it so far. Will update you soon
Metal paint started chipping off of my new pitbull and it lodged into the blades. This was their response...

Thank you and have a great day.
Thanks broski great review!
Thanks for sharing, ordering one from Amazon this week 👍
Hello! Firstable, thanks for your videos! I have shaved my head for the first time and your channel was very useful!
Do you believe that this kind of devices are appropirate for people Who has problems with ingrowns hair? Thans again!
No I don’t because they can cause bumps at the back of the neck etc. if you struggle with ingrown hairs it’s best to stick to hair clippers or maybe “mini clippers” that cut slightly closer 👍
In a way, when you take your hair all the way down to the skin, it looks like you are not balding. I know if you still look closely you can see it, but in a way it’s like hiding in plain sight.
That’s the whole point lol
Do you put any product on your skin after shaving? Aftershave? I have very irritable skin. Tips?
Nutella
@@NoNopeAndNo 😂
@@buddenjoejoe5549 🤣😂... im going to hell🤭
I’m buying one tomorrow, thanks!!!
Check out the Remington RX5 if you can get it where you are. They are slightly better than this. I have a newer video on it 👍
great review mate
Got it and love it !!!!
I get a great shave when done wet with this. It doesn't give a perfect shave, but it looks and feels almost like a wet razor shave. Maybe watch out on your neck it do scratch it a bit. But it does great!
I purchased this product from Amazon 2 months ago and I must say that it gives a close head shave but there are some problems. I'm African American and as you know we have dense curly hair, this hair seems to get trapped in the blades and is difficult to dislodge. The motor seems to turn off even though is still says 80% power left, the motor sounds like it's gonna dies soon. I don't like the idea of having to shell out $35.00 for a new blade head after 5 months. So, I'm stuck with the product now but I wouldn't recommended it to anyone, especially if your a black man.
That's unfortunate. Been looking for something that works. Even brought the bevel blade and no luck. I've been using the wahl balding clippers. Works decent enough but takes too long.
While the trimmer is on, submerge the blades in a cup of warm water after every few passes of shaving. It allows the blades to clean themselves, this fixed that issue for me!
Thanks for the info BRO
What moisturizer do you recommend
So I had one for about a week and it was working fine. It was plugged in, charging, when the power went out for about 45 minutes. When it came back on, the battery was shot. Only works now if plugged in.
I always unplug my tv, game console and stereo system whenever thunderstorms are in the forecast. Power surges and my electronics are not friends.
I notice that with black guys when they shave their heads it looks like a Michael Jordan. With us white guys we can still see the hair inside the skull unless the hair follicles die and fall off then we can look like Dr Phil or Michael jordan
Weird Boy Johnny That’s a pretty good point. Someone asked me why the rocks head looks so smooth (Dwane Johnson) that could be why. Being darker skinned it gives a much smoother appearance...
That is soooo true ive always wondered how they get a shaved head with no shadow at all, i thought it was theyre shaving method
This isn’t always the case. I’m black and when I shave my head you can still see a slight shadow because I’m not darker than my hairline. I am dark skinned though. I noticed that very dark skinned black men don’t seem to have a shadow when they shave. For some it’s weird because they may not be all that dark but still don’t have a shadow. Tupac is a perfect example. Don’t know how that works.
@@slickpanther06 yea Steve Harvey too it's almost like the hairs fell out and they have no follicles left
Yes, Montel Williams and Floyd Mayweather are another example. Those guys are fortunate. I do have a white friend who’s older and shaves his head bald and he has absolutely no shadow. It could be because he’s gray and when he was younger he had no shadow, probably because he has blonde hair.
Which is better this or the Remington
RX5 Head Shaver ???
Thanks for the info vato I love my head shaved too the skin
HOW DOES THE ALGORITHM KNOW I RECENTLY STARTED GOING BALD EAGLE!!!
Great video. So, how long did it realistically take you to shave your entire head to an acceptable closeness? How much pressure are you applying when shaving? In wet shave application, which do you think would work better - shaving cream or a shaving gel? Which blade do you prefer using for your personal use? Which post shave moisturizer do you prefer? Sorry for the interrogation. :) Just wanting your viewpoint and learn about your experience. Thank you for your time!!!
I love your reviews on head shavers..So I need to ask, what is the best elec head shaver?
BRAUN SERIES 9 👍
Bought this shaver today used it immediately out of box shaver worked perfectly, my hair is blond colour so looks clean no dark shadow, keeping shaved head more trouble then having hair.
Tried that one aswell its a joke and overprized. If battery drops the power also drops significantly. And you have to go over the same spot all the time. I would not recommend it.
DAmn im hearing more and more bad experiences about this thing.
@gufo wats better?
ALYSSA if you want an electric one i would go for the whal balding clippers with zero overlap.
I have tje exactsame one and it works but i usually use a straight razor as well afterwards to get any remaining stubble
Love my Skullshaver use it everyday. All my shaves are wet found I get a better shave that way. I do lather shave twice with very good results. Would I go back to blade shave no thank you love my Skullshaver to much.
Thanks!
Great review mate. How long did it take you to shave the entire skull?
Id say honestly about 10 mins to get it perfect
I know this about the head shaver… but that beard😍😍 any pointers to maybe speed up the process of growing a beard??
if you used it on your beard would it work? anyway all jokes aside is it worth it for quick shaves? my clippers take me 30 min.
Nice video man! Would be amazing if you could do a video when you use Andis Profoil shaver and see how it works on the head. I’m thinking to order one because sometimes you need a fast shave and don’t have time to wet shave with the safety razor so it’s better with electric machine. Have you tried it and if you have, how close shave do you get? Greetings from Sweden.
Great video. With it being almost 3 months later, what are you thinking about this shaver? With all things considered, what is your preferred "go-to" method for sharing your head?
Not my most used product. This product is best for times when you are traveling and you don't want to take all the creams/ razors with you. It is good if you want to clean up your look and you want the least amount of hassle. They have actually come out with another cheaper options and I will be reviewing that very soon 👍
Baldcafe Oh OK. Thanks for your reply. That makes sense. Are you referring to a model mother than their Silver, Gold and Platinum?
I am recently on blood thinners and need an excellent alternative to a blade razor. I can't afford to get cut because it will bleed for hours. This may be a good product for me.
I don't get compliments for shaving my head with a regular haircutter.
It's a mess. But with skull shaver it's done nice and clean.
Yo bro, how are you doing? Like your video 👍.I wanna know skull pitbull gold vs braun series 9? What do you prefer?
If i want a close shave for my head, should i go for this one, braun 9 or panasonic arc 5?
Would like to know the answer also
I have a Panasonic arc 5. I love it. Never tried the Pitbull though.
Pitbull skull vs remington rx5, what do you think gives you a closer shave
Let me say I purchased the wahl balding clippers, fantastic but very dangerous cause very sharp. I also brought remington rx5, much better. Closer shave and I prefer as easier to use than a clipper.
Apologies if this has been suggested before, but a "time-taken" estimation would be useful, I think.
Is it named after Pitbull the singer? His trademark is the shaved head look so that's well possible.
That would be awesome but I don't think so.
Mr Baldcafe, which electric shaver would you recommend? I am tempted to buy this one, but I think its overpriced. I prefer electric razor, due to the simplicity and avoiding razor bumps...
Looks really good, I've had smp and my current wahl clippers don't cut short enough , I'm caught between getting the skull shaver or the wahl balding clippers , what would you recommend? I don't want to be totally bald I'm looking at more of a short stubble look , thanks
What did you end up getting? I'm about to get SMP done and trying to find the best shaver, I think wet razor shave might be a bit too short
I've had the SMP done and used clippers...just short enough but not good enough...used a shaver like this and its spot on..clean shaving is too short
Wet shave razor blade best for smp 100 percent.
@@detz4647 try the Remmimgton rx5 mate..its amazing blows this out of the water..2 mins..skin short hair
@@sampiddington1802 I've heard good things, but can't seem to find them anywhere online atm. Do you know of any places in UK that have them? Cheers
Nothing beats wet shaving with a razor
What’s the difference between the Gold and Silver
Does it leave the skin as smooth as a blade?
Thank you!
Is is charged with dedicated charger (I think I see some contacts at 6:26 ) or with USB-C ?
From memory dedicated charger
Would you recommend this over the wahl balding shavers thank you
@John Smith I have the rx5 and am returning it tomorrow. It cuts close and relatively quickly but I found it very very harsh on my neck. Unusable. The foils are raised and are harsh on the edges. I can not recommend for anyone even slightly susceptible to razor burn or rashes
Confused by that response Matty
Have you used the Palm 3? Does it compare to the pitbull
Looks good, looking at this or the RX5 when I finally get rid of the hair.
Does this product leave the head shaved very smooth like a razor would?
Ehy man...what's the best for the head...Skull shaver or Remington Rx5?...thx
The answers above of your comment
Hey dude, can you do a video where you don't shave your head for a few weeks so we can see what it looks like? Thanks
I think I will do something like this once I am back in the UK. I'm probably going to go through the process of getting a hair system, Just so that I can comment more about it and It will make good content. For that I know I will have to grow my hair out for maybe even 2 weeks. So that video will be coming 👌
Baldcafe did you get the hair system?
Just bought one
Receiving it tomorrow..
Any tips or pointers.
Do I press it down harder for a closer shave?
how are you? do circular movements with this device could cause wrinkles or prevent wrinkles?
08:08 What kind of shaving cream are you using please ?
