I've been shaving my head for years and have tried A LOT of different rotary shavers during that time. Four heads. Five heads. Ten heads with a coffee maker and a lawn mowing option. None of those rotary shavers have ever given the kind of smooth, clean shave most bald guys are seeking, no matter how many bells and whistles they add in, and they're prone to razor rash and lots of mechanical issues. For a long time, using a real razor or something like the HeadBlade was the only way to get that truly clean shave, but there's always a risk of nicking the scalp with that type of razor.After my last rotary razor bit the dust after less than a month of use, I was ready to try something else. I read reviews of foil razors like this one, offered by bald guys, all of them proclaiming a quality foil razor like this one to be "The Truth" when it comes to keeping your head as smooth and supple as....yes, here comes the old cliche, as cringe as it is...a baby's butt. It's not just lip service. It's true. This razor really does shave that smooth, and it does so quickly, easily and without any razor rash (a godsend for someone like me who has sensitive skin, particularly around my neck area). I've been using this Andis Profoil for about a month and still utter "Wow!" after every shave. It shaves just as cleanly and closely as my HeadBlade, with zero chance of catching a nick in my scalp. It may be even better than the HeadBlade because I can work difficult to shave spots (like cowlicks) from multiple angles more easily, so my shave is ultimately much more thorough and clean overall. I can even use it on my face with minimal irritation (something I've never been able to use any electric razor for). And since it doesn't need to be rinsed under the faucet for cleaning, it's always ready to go if I discover a spot I missed or that needs a touch-up during the day.Here are my pros & cons on this razor:Pros:- Extremely clean and smooth shave, every bit as good as a traditional razor- Faster (and much smoother) shave than a rotary razor- No razor rash- Easy maintenance (just brush it out after each use and run a Q-tip with some rubbing alcohol along the foil every now and again to pick up excess oil and hair dust to limit breakouts; no rinsing or tricky dismantling involved as most rotary razors requireCons:- This razor can get pretty loud- The foils on razors like this can get dented and dinged pretty easy if you don't protect them- Can leave hair dust in its wake that can remain on your scalp or fall onto your shoulders are the immediate area around you (easily brushed off, however)Since my razor is still relatively new, time will speak to its durability, but holding it in your hand and using it leaves no doubt that this is a high quality product made with care and love by people who intend for it to last a good long while.If you've been on the fence on whether this type of razor is a good solution for shaving your head, or you're fed up with rotary razors or true razors that sometimes bite you while you're trying to use them, you owe it to yourself to give this one a try. I think you'll be very pleasantly surprised by how well it performs. I know I was. There's a reason barbers rely on this razor and others like them.
