Thanks, DMack PS - As an Air Force veteran, thanks for your support!
Had recently purchased Remington RX7 and had my second head shave today. WOW, what a shaver. Really put it to the test today and shaved after a week off hair growth and it was just stunning. Such a great shave. I did get a bit of a redness on my neck the first time when I started the shave at the top and moved back but this time I started at the back with less pressure and it was so, so much better. No itch or burn. Perfect Shave. And only took about 5 minutes. (never used the turbo at all) 😊👍🏻👍🏻💯
Yeah back of neck is always sensitive because it moves/stretches constantly. The hairs on back of neck are so thin that I glide over it with my bad buddy for no more than 3-5 seconds. Then I spray on irritation aftershave treatment and keep it moisturized with aftershave butter.
I haven't tried the $300 price point of the shaver yet since most of our consumers are upgrading out of disposable razors. Will have to give it a go one day.
I appreciate your honesty bro! I'm going to go with the product you're promoting- the Bald Buddy. I like the design and the flexible shaving head. Thanks for a great video review!
Ive been researching a bald head shaver for my husband for a few days now and mixed emotions about the reviews ! Ive decided to support ur product! Appreciate ur video and honestly! Blessings 🙏🏼
That's love! Thank you. Most important thing about bald rotary shavers is keeping the blades clean and clear. Whenever you hear the shaver start to slow down, just keep it running and place blades under faucet of water. It will throw up all the debris and hair. Then it will speed back up!
Great video. I’m new to the bald game. I bought the Remington last week and used it for the first time on Sunday. I’m enjoying your channel so far. Keep up the good content.
nice! enjoy it bro. Just make sure you keep the blades clean and store it in a dry place. If you have thicker hair, get you some good aftershave spray to help ease any shave burn or irritation. Usually takes 1-2 weeks for your scalp to get used to rotary blade movement since it's so different than others like trimmers, foil, or razors. So if you feel irritation the first 2-4 times, its just your pores trying to understand a new technique.
@ELLIOT8209 yes in general. But you have to try to dip and run during your shave as soon as you hear them begin to bog. Waiting until the end of a shave could be too late. If you wait too long to clear out, you will have to open the blades and brush debri out. Hope this helps. If you are shaving stubble you will need to do this less frequently. If you are shaving 4 mm - 1 cm hair or coarse/thick hair, you will need to clear out frequently. If hair is longer than 1 cm, you need to trim hair down before using a rotary shaver.
Np brother. It all comes down to regimens for any shaving tool for us coarse hair users. Kinda like training for football vs rubgy. Prepping and post treatment are critical. But exfoliation and great aftershave are 100% the most important. As summer comes, don't skip put on sunscreen! I neglected that for many years because I assumed my skin was sun safe lol. Cancer attacks many if us and bald head men are easy targets for the sun. Enjoy your weekend!
I just bought the Remington Balder Boss and will be returning it. It doesn't shave smoothly, kind of drags. I had one of the original Skull Shavers and it was smooth, but die after a couple of years. I'm thinking of going with the Skull Gold now.
Remington gave me my least favorite result because of the way the blades are designed. As for the motor. None of the shavers have a brushless motor. So these shavers will all have a 2 year life on their brush motor. The good thing is all of them should have a warranty. The shavers with the strongest motor will be your higher end skull shaver or the bald buddy. The bald buddy has the same power as the pitbull platinum. Maybe try both side by side before the 30 day free return is up.
Well I did it I ordered the Bald Buddy from amazon I cannot wait to try it out, I have been using the Remington Balder Pro for awhile but after watching this video I wanted to try something new.. Love your videos you're awesome very honest on your videos I'll definitely leave you review on it when I receive it
@@TheCutBuddy well I had just received my Bald Buddy in the mail today and right away I had to try it, and WOW I love it. Best head shaver purchase I ever made..Excellent shave very smooth and no irritation whatsoever…I was also wondering should I use some kind of cleaning solution or just run it u dear water to keep the blades clean …Very happy customer 😊
@JakeJones-1972 warm water/shower water against running faucet is my go, too. But you can also put a little soap in a cup with warm water and run it in there! You will get used to listening to your shaver. Once it begins to slow or bog, it is time to wash it.
So glad to hear this. Trust me... when i first went bald I had to learn the hard way. had like 3 months of razor burn because I didnt choose the right products and regiment lol
Hey family. Check this video out. It will answer a lot of your concerns on wet/dry shaving and irritation: ruclips.net/video/Yq8-vuATdFU/видео.html&lc=UgwOnvs3KY8MjBtTiPh4AaABAg
Nice to know these don’t cause razor bumps, as I have course hair…I tried using a rotary shaver with three rotating heads, and it caused irritation and razor bumps.
@uwillbe your shaving routine has to change when transitioning from blade to shaver. Pre shave prep and post shave care are very critical. Also, it's going to take a few weeks for your hair pattern to get used to being cut a different way. Initially, it took me 4 shaves for me to understand that I needed to electric shave in the shower with shaving cream. I also learned what motioned of the shaver and how many passes my head could tolerate. My main findings were that I needed a good aftershave and butter. 50% of irritation comes from your post shave procedure. I also wear a durag for 1 hour after I shave to avoid any friction upsetting my head. Hope some of these tips help.
No joke; I've been spending the past week, non-stop, looking into head shavers. You have my attention! The only reason I'm leaning towards the kensen 7-blade shaver because it comes with attachments like a nose trimmer. Will you guys be offering add-ons like that?
This was a great video bro. This is exactly the video I’ve been looking for as someone who uses a 3 blade razor looking to move to a shaver for my head. Thanks for the info on why razors aren’t the best I never knew that. I just prefer the true bald look/feel which is why I kept using it. I’ll have to check out these options I appreciate the video again.
Loved your video and should have watched it before I bought the NicroTouch Titanium Head Shaver. Just got it today and still feels a little stubby. And I don't think it will be a good as a blade. I think I'll be buying the Bald Buddy. Again thanks for the video
Hey bud. Are you using micro touch dry or wet? I haven't used that machine but just off design i would have chosen these 4 before that one. Would love to hear more about how you used it and what parts of your head were stubby still.
I just ordered a bald buddy for the first time. Looks like you created a really cool razor for us bald guys !!! I first shaved my head in Guatemala back in 1993! I've been struggling with electric razors ever since. I'm very much looking forward to this product!
@MrSpt67 welcome to the family! Definitely let me know if you need any help with anything. We are a really easy family to work with. If you can reach me here, email customer@thecutbuddy.com and we will help!
Well I been looking-for a really good head-shaver and after watching this video I went towards the bald buddy shaver I think I will b ordering one awesome video
@JakeJones-e6x I definitely feel the Chinese knockoff brands over do it, lol. Vero has like 7 heads. That puts major strain on the motor, and it would be hell to clean or diagnose if something did go wrong.
You'll love it. The most important thing for rotary shavers to run then in water power on when they begin to get full. They will begin to bog or slow down as they eat enough hair. Make sure the shaving cream is thin and lathered. The rotary shavers down like thick or milk shake shaving cream. They like to stay clear as possible.
Interesting you say ‘’traditionally you used to use one of these…’’ Traditionally, would refer to what came before any of these machines you show. I think a blade then razor at a traditional barber would have come way before we all tried to get a clean bald head like yours. Apart from that, a decent review. I’m convinced now. A Wahl Balding clipper will suffice Thanks.
I agree with you in whole. I think I was saying traditionally from the stand point of electric rotary shaving. Before there was ergonomic rotary, there was the handle bar design to shavers because they were designed for faces not heads. Sorry for any confusion, my vocab takes me to about 7th grade and the spark notes did the rest lol. If the balding clipper works for you, use it! if i were to use a clipper or trimmer, I go with a T shaped blade trimmer for balding over a balding clipper. But thats only because I have used T-edgers my whole life. Best of luck!
This was actually very informative. Thank you. Would you recommend an aftershave routine? Cream? Balm? For sensitive skin. Anything related would be helpful. Thanks!
@hajj623 thanks for the kind words. After you shave, let your hair air dry. Spray an aftershave that has salicylic acid in it. We have a good post shave spray, but their are others like tend skin and skin tight. After applying that, it will kill any bacteria and close your pores. I store my aftershave in the fridge! Then, I apply a bald/butter. We also sell a good one with Willow Bark and Witch Hazel. The key is to cake it on like how you would diaper cream to a baby. My newest thing is to wear a durag immediately after I apply it for 1 hour. Over the next 48 hrs, apply post shave or butter as needed. Silk sheets and durags definitely help prevent fibers from rubbing and irritating. Avoid touching your head with fingers!! Good luck.
Nice video. I picked up the free bird about two weeks ago and so far so good. I really like it. I'm a beginner. I've never shaved my head before and that thing worked like a charm. The first time I did it I cut it dry. I was happy with the results but last night I cut it wet and wow, it looks fantastic. Honestly, it was easier to cut when it was wet. It takes a little bit more time because of the cleanup and preparation but overall the tool did a fantastic job.
@ClintEastwood-b5c what gave out? The motor or battery? Sorry to hear that. Don't give up on electric bald shavers tho. And you should hit up Remington for a warranty!
I really needed the opinion from a cool inventor product development black man for my husband's and son's shaving need! You're cool!! I'm saying it with you!! So proud of you and you're a young man!! Much more success to you!! Now I know what to get my son for his birthday! Thank you!!😍😍😍
Thanks for the kind words. Its comments like these keep me going everyday. If you have any questions before purchasing (even if you choose another shaver), let us know!
@KarlosFirst-1 please do! The new design as of Aug 2024 has more features at the same low price. It also comes with a rinse stand for you to clean the shaver easier.
Thank you! My husband put me to task to find him a good head shaver, he is ever so done with the trimmers. That said, i LOVE your trimmer and we havent even gotten one Yet. (Just found ya! lol) Reason? That handle. My man gets his head shaved by me, a distinct pleasure as he is very busy and its a mine time. But i have Ostoe real bad in the paws. That handle is going to be so perfect, i wont drop it, it will mitigate vibration better. Oh, thank you for thinking of the tiny things! I am sending this video to my better half so he can watch and confirm my findings through you. Again, thank you!
Appreciate the video. I do think people who do these kinds of videos should be clean shaven though. I'm here wondering if they work and it's just your word.
Thats a great point. I have many videos using the Bald Buddy. Unfortunately, it would go against my company policies to overly promote another brand. But I will see what I can do in the future.
Takes me too long on my coarse hair. Depending on the weather, my pores act different. So I bump up if my hair is stiffer in colder or dryer months. These shaves take me 2-4 minutes at most.
@@TheCutBuddy I have sensitive skin too. I shave in the shower. I soak my head in hot water and lather up my head really well. My head is Silky Smooth when I'm done. I shave it every 3 day or so. If you shave every day you're going to irritate your skin/scalp.
@rabbithole8592 totally agree. I only shave every 3-4 days. And I'll even feel my head to see if it's even ready to take on a shave. Those hot towels or showers are crucial for easier shaves. I even put some conditioner in sometimes to soften hair follicles. Have a blessed day king.
I was curious to see how well that shaver worked on black men's hair type. Every other review I've seen was always done by white dudes so I was like "Of course it would work on their heads because their hair type is different from ours." I may get one. Tired of cutting my scalp with blades because my hair pattern growth is all over the place.
Yeah I have coarse hair and have been using our product for 2 years now. When transferring to a rotary blade you have to give your head 3 weeks to really understand the new blade. We have some videos on our channel that show me using it and how close it gets. Using good exfoliation before and then using shaving cream really helps for coarser hair.
@v3nomz349 Nobody is forcing you to change your routine here, but like anything in life, you have to give yourself time to learn how to use a tool or master a trade. Your lawn needs a few cuts to get used to a zero turn after being cut with a push mower for years. If you drive a sports car that has a manual egear, it needs some time to get used to the way you drive it. Once again, this video was not a sales video, if you are happy with your current shaver/blade then nobody is forcing you to change.
My hair is pretty thick, so I do use a multiblade (3 bladed) disposable off brand razors (well I guess they are a brand ... "Schtick" or something close to that) , that last me about a week each . 2 reasons to use multi blade razors: a single blade (even a dual blade) wears out very quickly. Also, I've found that I pressed a single/dual blade much harder to the skull to get my slightly uneven head (got a few bumps along the years) well done . With 3 (sometimes 4, when I'm splurging -- these days nobody's splurging) blades , I've found that I'm much more relaxed and don't put on as much pressure, so my skin is much less irritated . Anyways, I'm looking into a machine like in this video because in the winter it gets a bit cold, and as I get older, it's not as much fun to take a shower each day (I shave my head with a blade in the shower) . Thanks for the vid !
So kids dad just texted saying if the kids wanted to get him something for Christmas he wanted a shaver since he's going bald lol. Crazy how this video popped up that's a year old lol. Guess I'll go with yours as much as I want to get a bag at Walmart for $5 😅😅😅

Thank you for the review. I'm wondering how powerful these cordless shavers are. I'm used to using corded devices and worry that cordless shavers won't compare. Also, how long does a fully-charged device work? Additionally, how long would it be before the battery stops taking charges?
@ChristopherDivona corded and cordless devices are pretty even now. The battery and brush motors in recent technology have improved a lot. Is a corded device more reliable, Yes. Fully charged shavers are going to give you around 70 minutes of usage. 50 minutes of higher power usage. You begin to see a drop off when battery is running lower. Each shave will take you 5 minutes or so. Battery life is a gamble. I have seen customers blow their motors and melt their cords. It all comes down to care. Li ion batteries are pretty reliable it's the brush motors that have a 1k-3k hours lifetime. The more stress you put on a brush motor, the less hrs it will last. Hope this helps.
Thanks for the reveiw! One question: Is it recommended to put some oil on the blades every now and then like with normal shavers or should I avoid doing that?
That's an excellent question. Yes, you can put a very small amount of oil on there. To apply oil, you need to put it behind the blades. Don't put it on the side that touches your head. Then, run the shaver for a while to allow oil to make its way around. Then, be sure to clean any residue oil that may touch your head. I would say that oiling may be more critical for people who are using it dry. Dry shavers aren't giving shavers a chance to cool down as much as wet shavers. So lubricant becomes more helpful to extend life of blades.
I been shaving my head for about 14 years. Trying to find a good one, I found a Remington, but that going tits up, it wont shave my scalp. I need razor, cause I dont wanna fork out 100 bucks. So I just placed a order for the bald buddy.
Welcome to the family. As long as you keep the blades clean and clear, it will be your best buddy. Please reach out to us if you have questions about anything.
I know it's a dumb reason to be turned off a product, but I don't like the color of the bald buddy. If there was a matte black option or something more neutral, I'd buy it in a heartbeat
Recently went from number 1 buzz to using the Remington skull shaver loved the shortness that it would go to and it felt so good after a few months decided to go the whole hog and went bald using headblade so easy to use have had a few cuts but still learning how to use it .
Yea head blade would irritate my head and cut my head. Shout out to you for going whole hog! Took me about a year to go from a trimmer to 1 bkade razor, then i converted to rotary shaver.
@@TheCutBuddy skull shavers are certainly a great introduction to the world of baldness and for some guys that's as far as they won't to go, but in my case I wanted to go totally bald I love the feel of a smooth shaved head, using the right conditioner/gel certainly reduces the risk of cuts with the headblade, I'm using mine every 2-3 days.
Hey brother, do you have any information or advice on using this shaver without shaving gel? I would like to use it dry if it will be kind on my scalp. Thanks!
Make sure hair is only stubble, dry and clean. You will have to clear your shaver more often. If you have coarse hair def have a great aftershave and butter ready after. How coarse is your hair?
@@TheCutBuddy I'm Nigerian with medium course hair. I was one of those kids with what we called BBs (very course) and the clippers would jam if the barber went too fast. But now only the side of my head is medium course and the top is very thin mostly.
@tedbukowski hey brother! it will never cut you even if you have folds back there. You will have to bend your head forward or stretch the skin so it gets the pits or inner areas.
Correct. The heads cost around $16. All depends on how often you shave. Some people only replace 2 times a year if they are keeping the blades really clean.
Is your friend completely bald or starting to bald? Do they have fine hair, or is it coarse hair? Naturally, I recommend The Bald Buddy, but I will give you options based on your answer.
@@NURU-dm8cc I'm sure he will like that one. He just needs to figure out if he likes to shave wet or dry. And he needs to make sure he cleans it often. Rotary shavers eat hair, so they will get full and jam if not cleaned often.
Balder boss is a great shaver by Remington pit bull gold best so far silver version ok also balder pro version by Remington is ok , micro touch shaver is also good 😊
definitely lots to think about but you should honestly be fine with all of these as long as you take care of them. Primarily cleaning the blades by running the shaver in a cup/faucet of soapy water. Good luck my friend.
I have the Freebird electric ⚡️ razor 🪒 I love ❤️ it. All the accessories that come with it. The lotions🧴 as well. The deals for replacing blades also the lotions 🧴 also. I got a great deal on mine. 😊I highly recommend it.

So these shavers will all have a 2 year life on their brush motor. The good thing is all of them should have a warranty. The shavers with the strongest motor will be your higher end skull shaver or the bald buddy. The bald buddy has the same power as the pitbull platinum. Maybe try both side by side before the 30 day free return is up.
Well I did it I ordered the Bald Buddy from amazon I cannot wait to try it out, I have been using the Remington Balder Pro for awhile but after watching this video I wanted to try something new.. Love your videos you're awesome very honest on your videos I'll definitely leave you review on it when I receive it
@JakeJones-e6x definitely let us know how you like it. Welcome to the family!
@@TheCutBuddy thank you and those awesome videos coming
@@TheCutBuddy well I had just received my Bald Buddy in the mail today and right away I had to try it, and WOW I love it. Best head shaver purchase I ever made..Excellent shave very smooth and no irritation whatsoever…I was also wondering should I use some kind of cleaning solution or just run it u dear water to keep the blades clean …Very happy customer 😊
@JakeJones-1972 warm water/shower water against running faucet is my go, too. But you can also put a little soap in a cup with warm water and run it in there! You will get used to listening to your shaver. Once it begins to slow or bog, it is time to wash it.
@@TheCutBuddy thank u
This is a great video for beginners. A lot of stuff I didn't know was covered.
So glad to hear this. Trust me... when i first went bald I had to learn the hard way. had like 3 months of razor burn because I didnt choose the right products and regiment lol
Great review. Very informative and to the point. Thanks for taking the time to review these 4 shavers.
As a black man do you use shaving gel for your shaves? I just got one for Christmas and don’t want any bumps.
Hey family. Check this video out. It will answer a lot of your concerns on wet/dry shaving and irritation: ruclips.net/video/Yq8-vuATdFU/видео.html&lc=UgwOnvs3KY8MjBtTiPh4AaABAg
Great review. ✊🏾
Nice to know these don’t cause razor bumps, as I have course hair…I tried using a rotary shaver with three rotating heads, and it caused irritation and razor bumps.
@uwillbe your shaving routine has to change when transitioning from blade to shaver. Pre shave prep and post shave care are very critical. Also, it's going to take a few weeks for your hair pattern to get used to being cut a different way. Initially, it took me 4 shaves for me to understand that I needed to electric shave in the shower with shaving cream. I also learned what motioned of the shaver and how many passes my head could tolerate. My main findings were that I needed a good aftershave and butter. 50% of irritation comes from your post shave procedure. I also wear a durag for 1 hour after I shave to avoid any friction upsetting my head. Hope some of these tips help.
Good info. I appreciate the transparency. I'm new to the bald game so this was beneficial.
@styleguy1295 good luck my friend!
No joke; I've been spending the past week, non-stop, looking into head shavers. You have my attention! The only reason I'm leaning towards the kensen 7-blade shaver because it comes with attachments like a nose trimmer. Will you guys be offering add-ons like that?
Great video. I saw someone else review it here a year or so back. Good reviews. I will end up buying one.
Let us know if you have any questions or need amy support!
This was a great video bro. This is exactly the video I’ve been looking for as someone who uses a 3 blade razor looking to move to a shaver for my head. Thanks for the info on why razors aren’t the best I never knew that. I just prefer the true bald look/feel which is why I kept using it. I’ll have to check out these options I appreciate the video again.
No problem. I actually did a video recently where i had a razor and shaver go head to head in an inbiased competition. Have a great weekend.
Loved your video and should have watched it before I bought the NicroTouch Titanium Head Shaver. Just got it today and still feels a little stubby. And I don't think it will be a good as a blade. I think I'll be buying the Bald Buddy. Again thanks for the video
Hey bud. Are you using micro touch dry or wet? I haven't used that machine but just off design i would have chosen these 4 before that one. Would love to hear more about how you used it and what parts of your head were stubby still.
Thanks for this great video. I've been shaving my head for 30 years and I did not know all of this
@@MrSpt67 electric bald shavers are probably less than 10 years old. It really became a thing in the last 5 years.
I just ordered a bald buddy for the first time. Looks like you created a really cool razor for us bald guys !!! I first shaved my head in Guatemala back in 1993! I've been struggling with electric razors ever since. I'm very much looking forward to this product!
@MrSpt67 welcome to the family! Definitely let me know if you need any help with anything. We are a really easy family to work with. If you can reach me here, email customer@thecutbuddy.com and we will help!
@@TheCutBuddyI love the name Bald Buddy cause it makes me chuckle
@@MrSpt67 lol the naming of the products is the highlight of my job
Well I been looking-for a really good head-shaver and after watching this video I went towards the bald buddy shaver I think I will b ordering one awesome video
@JakeJones-e6x awesome. We have a 30 day money back. So you can always give it a go and if it sucks, send it back.
@@TheCutBuddyI was gonna buy the veroshave but until I seen this video you got me on the bald buddy lol
@JakeJones-e6x I definitely feel the Chinese knockoff brands over do it, lol. Vero has like 7 heads. That puts major strain on the motor, and it would be hell to clean or diagnose if something did go wrong.
Thank you for this video , from one bald dude to the next 👍
Thanks for honesty
@souleymanedoukoure8805 no problem. I'm a believer in this new bald shaver industry!
Thank you for this. I am looking for a razor for my husband. I chose the bald buddy and the butter cream.
You'll love it. The most important thing for rotary shavers to run then in water power on when they begin to get full. They will begin to bog or slow down as they eat enough hair. Make sure the shaving cream is thin and lathered. The rotary shavers down like thick or milk shake shaving cream. They like to stay clear as possible.
Very informative brotha! Thank you!
Very helpful my brother. One love. Bless. ❤🔥
Interesting you say ‘’traditionally you used to use one of these…’’
Traditionally, would refer to what came before any of these machines you show.
I think a blade then razor at a traditional barber would have come way before we all tried to get a clean bald head like yours.
Apart from that, a decent review. I’m convinced now. A Wahl Balding clipper will suffice
Thanks.
I agree with you in whole. I think I was saying traditionally from the stand point of electric rotary shaving. Before there was ergonomic rotary, there was the handle bar design to shavers because they were designed for faces not heads. Sorry for any confusion, my vocab takes me to about 7th grade and the spark notes did the rest lol. If the balding clipper works for you, use it! if i were to use a clipper or trimmer, I go with a T shaped blade trimmer for balding over a balding clipper.
But thats only because I have used T-edgers my whole life. Best of luck!
Appreciate your honesty and candor thanks 🙏
@@casey00X it is only fair to give other brands respect and give consumers a fair choice
This was actually very informative. Thank you. Would you recommend an aftershave routine? Cream? Balm? For sensitive skin. Anything related would be helpful. Thanks!
@hajj623 thanks for the kind words. After you shave, let your hair air dry. Spray an aftershave that has salicylic acid in it. We have a good post shave spray, but their are others like tend skin and skin tight. After applying that, it will kill any bacteria and close your pores. I store my aftershave in the fridge! Then, I apply a bald/butter. We also sell a good one with Willow Bark and Witch Hazel. The key is to cake it on like how you would diaper cream to a baby. My newest thing is to wear a durag immediately after I apply it for 1 hour. Over the next 48 hrs, apply post shave or butter as needed. Silk sheets and durags definitely help prevent fibers from rubbing and irritating. Avoid touching your head with fingers!! Good luck.
Nice video. I picked up the free bird about two weeks ago and so far so good. I really like it. I'm a beginner. I've never shaved my head before and that thing worked like a charm. The first time I did it I cut it dry. I was happy with the results but last night I cut it wet and wow, it looks fantastic. Honestly, it was easier to cut when it was wet. It takes a little bit more time because of the cleanup and preparation but overall the tool did a fantastic job.
Yeah bro. I do wet in the shower. Thats my go to because it steams up your pores and softens you hair.
Good video!
Bought a Remington didnt last a month ,,,,, I was very disappointed I clean the blades and oil them like it suggested...
@ClintEastwood-b5c what gave out? The motor or battery? Sorry to hear that. Don't give up on electric bald shavers tho. And you should hit up Remington for a warranty!
I really needed the opinion from a cool inventor product development black man for my husband's and son's shaving need! You're cool!! I'm saying it with you!! So proud of you and you're a young man!! Much more success to you!! Now I know what to get my son for his birthday! Thank you!!😍😍😍
Thanks for the kind words. Its comments like these keep me going everyday. If you have any questions before purchasing (even if you choose another shaver), let us know!
Cut Buddy. Thank you again!!
I ordered my bald buddy right after seeing this video. Im gonna be getting it on the 10/24/24, Ill comeback with an update
@KarlosFirst-1 please do! The new design as of Aug 2024 has more features at the same low price. It also comes with a rinse stand for you to clean the shaver easier.
Good tips. Good insight. Great video.
I’m looking for a good shaver which one is the best one on the market ?
@@Makeitcountb4itstolate256 thecutbuddy.com
Thank you! My husband put me to task to find him a good head shaver, he is ever so done with the trimmers. That said, i LOVE your trimmer and we havent even gotten one Yet. (Just found ya! lol) Reason? That handle. My man gets his head shaved by me, a distinct pleasure as he is very busy and its a mine time. But i have Ostoe real bad in the paws. That handle is going to be so perfect, i wont drop it, it will mitigate vibration better. Oh, thank you for thinking of the tiny things! I am sending this video to my better half so he can watch and confirm my findings through you. Again, thank you!
Thank you for your consideration! Please feel free to message us or email info@thecutbuddy.com any questions!
You’re the bomb!! Thank you. Ordered my skull shaver. Thank you.
Thanks I'm going to try but buddy.
Let us know if you have questions when you try it
Man the best informative video 😊
Thanks bro. Tried to be as neutral as possible
Just bought the Bald Buddy for my dad on Amazon.
Appreciate the video. I do think people who do these kinds of videos should be clean shaven though. I'm here wondering if they work and it's just your word.
Thats a great point. I have many videos using the Bald Buddy. Unfortunately, it would go against my company policies to overly promote another brand. But I will see what I can do in the future.
I use double blade razors with lubricated strips.
Ive been shaving my head for 24 years and never had an issue.
Takes me too long on my coarse hair. Depending on the weather, my pores act different. So I bump up if my hair is stiffer in colder or dryer months. These shaves take me 2-4 minutes at most.
@@TheCutBuddy I have sensitive skin too. I shave in the shower. I soak my head in hot water and lather up my head really well. My head is Silky Smooth when I'm done. I shave it every 3 day or so. If you shave every day you're going to irritate your skin/scalp.
@rabbithole8592 totally agree. I only shave every 3-4 days. And I'll even feel my head to see if it's even ready to take on a shave. Those hot towels or showers are crucial for easier shaves. I even put some conditioner in sometimes to soften hair follicles. Have a blessed day king.
Much respect for your thoroughness in this video. Thank you, Sir!
Thanks boss! I look to be more active on youtube on these kinds of videos. Thanks for checking it out.
Just ordered the Freebird elite shaver can’t wait to use it
Enjoy. Hope it helps with your shaving! Just make sure you clean the blades often of it will lock up / shut off on you.
Thank you sir! Great and relaxed video!
I got a cut buddy for Xmas,,,love it.
That was very respectful, lol. A different shape head.
Appreciate the review.
@@beefing313 np friend. I will make a new one for 2025. This one is a little dated now.
@ that’s the beauty of of YT. I purchased last week. I’m very satisfied.
Thank you for this informative video! 🙏🏽
Appreciate it sir🙏🙏🙏
I was curious to see how well that shaver worked on black men's hair type. Every other review I've seen was always done by white dudes so I was like "Of course it would work on their heads because their hair type is different from ours." I may get one. Tired of cutting my scalp with blades because my hair pattern growth is all over the place.
Yeah I have coarse hair and have been using our product for 2 years now. When transferring to a rotary blade you have to give your head 3 weeks to really understand the new blade. We have some videos on our channel that show me using it and how close it gets. Using good exfoliation before and then using shaving cream really helps for coarser hair.
@@TheCutBuddyAin’t no way I’d give myself 3 weeks walking around like star crunch galore
@v3nomz349 Nobody is forcing you to change your routine here, but like anything in life, you have to give yourself time to learn how to use a tool or master a trade. Your lawn needs a few cuts to get used to a zero turn after being cut with a push mower for years. If you drive a sports car that has a manual egear, it needs some time to get used to the way you drive it. Once again, this video was not a sales video, if you are happy with your current shaver/blade then nobody is forcing you to change.
My hair is pretty thick, so I do use a multiblade (3 bladed) disposable off brand razors (well I guess they are a brand ... "Schtick" or something close to that) , that last me about a week each .
2 reasons to use multi blade razors: a single blade (even a dual blade) wears out very quickly. Also, I've found that I pressed a single/dual blade much harder to the skull to get my slightly uneven head (got a few bumps along the years) well done .
With 3 (sometimes 4, when I'm splurging -- these days nobody's splurging) blades , I've found that I'm much more relaxed and don't put on as much pressure, so my skin is much less irritated .
Anyways, I'm looking into a machine like in this video because in the winter it gets a bit cold, and as I get older, it's not as much fun to take a shower each day (I shave my head with a blade in the shower) .
Thanks for the vid !
Yeah try one of them out. They all have return policy and good warranty. So if you hate it, you can return it.
So kids dad just texted saying if the kids wanted to get him something for Christmas he wanted a shaver since he's going bald lol. Crazy how this video popped up that's a year old lol. Guess I'll go with yours as much as I want to get a bag at Walmart for $5 😅😅😅
@@kimberlyblack4086 thanks for the support! Let me know how you like it. Reach out if you have any struggles. We are a family office so very easy to work with. customer@thecutbuddy.com
Thank you for the review. I'm wondering how powerful these cordless shavers are. I'm used to using corded devices and worry that cordless shavers won't compare. Also, how long does a fully-charged device work? Additionally, how long would it be before the battery stops taking charges?
@ChristopherDivona corded and cordless devices are pretty even now. The battery and brush motors in recent technology have improved a lot. Is a corded device more reliable, Yes. Fully charged shavers are going to give you around 70 minutes of usage. 50 minutes of higher power usage. You begin to see a drop off when battery is running lower. Each shave will take you 5 minutes or so. Battery life is a gamble. I have seen customers blow their motors and melt their cords. It all comes down to care. Li ion batteries are pretty reliable it's the brush motors that have a 1k-3k hours lifetime. The more stress you put on a brush motor, the less hrs it will last. Hope this helps.
@@TheCutBuddy - thank you for the reply!
Great I will look for the Bald Buddy
Just ordered your product. Great video.
I use the Remington RX7 its the best one I've used so far.
i know it's build for your head,but can you also use is for your beard?
Stubble only. Just make sure you clear or clean them out or they will lock up if they eat too hair.
Thanks for the honest reviews. I think I will stick with my leaf razor. If i were to buy one though it would be the bald buddy. Cheers.
Leaf is a good option because its and angled 1 blade. If i ever use a razor it will be 1 blade only. Cheers to you my friend.
Nice Review. TMU!
Good presentation! 👍
Bro... I love how you're making up words to describe certain as you go along 😂😂😂
I got a 100 word vocab lol. But at least it gets the point across. My english sat score was pretty bad.
Played you at 1.5x on the way to Target to make a purchase and I'm hearing a bit of a carribean accent 😂
Guilty as charged
Thanks bro👍🏽
@@samalons np i am going to try to put out more general bald shaver content
Thanks for the reveiw! One question: Is it recommended to put some oil on the blades every now and then like with normal shavers or should I avoid doing that?
That's an excellent question. Yes, you can put a very small amount of oil on there. To apply oil, you need to put it behind the blades. Don't put it on the side that touches your head. Then, run the shaver for a while to allow oil to make its way around. Then, be sure to clean any residue oil that may touch your head. I would say that oiling may be more critical for people who are using it dry. Dry shavers aren't giving shavers a chance to cool down as much as wet shavers. So lubricant becomes more helpful to extend life of blades.
There are rotary cleaner mixtures that have oil in them already
And what is the name of a Skull shaver, please? Thank you in advance !
And thank you for the nice video !
I showed a few on this video. Our bald shaver is called The Bald Buddy. Thecutbuddy.com

Awesome reviews! I've got Remington and its sooo good!!
I been shaving my head for about 14 years. Trying to find a good one, I found a Remington, but that going tits up, it wont shave my scalp. I need razor, cause I dont wanna fork out 100 bucks. So I just placed a order for the bald buddy.
Welcome to the family. As long as you keep the blades clean and clear, it will be your best buddy. Please reach out to us if you have questions about anything.
I know it's a dumb reason to be turned off a product, but I don't like the color of the bald buddy. If there was a matte black option or something more neutral, I'd buy it in a heartbeat
We do not have any other colors at the momment. There is another color in the works. The camo colors are to honor veterans.
@@TheCutBuddy word. Absolutely respect that. Just...not for me, ya know?
What a ridiculous reason lol. That thing could be rainbow for all I care.
@@Broxty did you miss the part where I acknowledged it was a dumb reason?
@@TheCutBuddyas a vet, the subtle recognition is appreciated. ❤️
Excellent video my brother. Straight to the point. Very detail. 🫡
Just picked up the Remington one from Walmart.
Do you have a tutorial for what to do pre/post shave?
Yes check out our channel and you will see some shave prep videos. You can also visit thecutbuddy.com video library
Recently went from number 1 buzz to using the Remington skull shaver loved the shortness that it would go to and it felt so good after a few months decided to go the whole hog and went bald using headblade so easy to use have had a few cuts but still learning how to use it .
Yea head blade would irritate my head and cut my head. Shout out to you for going whole hog! Took me about a year to go from a trimmer to 1 bkade razor, then i converted to rotary shaver.
@@TheCutBuddy skull shavers are certainly a great introduction to the world of baldness and for some guys that's as far as they won't to go, but in my case I wanted to go totally bald I love the feel of a smooth shaved head, using the right conditioner/gel certainly reduces the risk of cuts with the headblade, I'm using mine every 2-3 days.
je vais tout juste le recevoir je suis a ma 1e essaie
@ChantalMimeault mon frère faites-nous savoir si nous pouvons vous aider avec votre expérience de rasage customer@thecutbuddy.com
Yo the ending was funny! Think I’ll order a cut buddy
Hey brother, do you have any information or advice on using this shaver without shaving gel? I would like to use it dry if it will be kind on my scalp.
Thanks!
Make sure hair is only stubble, dry and clean. You will have to clear your shaver more often. If you have coarse hair def have a great aftershave and butter ready after. How coarse is your hair?
@@TheCutBuddy I'm Nigerian with medium course hair. I was one of those kids with what we called BBs (very course) and the clippers would jam if the barber went too fast. But now only the side of my head is medium course and the top is very thin mostly.
Awesome reviews. Thank you!
Great job and good review.
How do they work for us guys who have skin folds on the back of our heads?
@tedbukowski hey brother! it will never cut you even if you have folds back there. You will have to bend your head forward or stretch the skin so it gets the pits or inner areas.
Did you say the head needs to be changed 12 to 24 weeks ;o this seems super often
Correct. The heads cost around $16. All depends on how often you shave. Some people only replace 2 times a year if they are keeping the blades really clean.
I'm thinking of giving my friend a shaver .. which one do you recommend?
Is your friend completely bald or starting to bald? Do they have fine hair, or is it coarse hair? Naturally, I recommend The Bald Buddy, but I will give you options based on your answer.
@TheCutBuddy is too late,I already ordered him the Baldie Pro
@@NURU-dm8cc I'm sure he will like that one. He just needs to figure out if he likes to shave wet or dry. And he needs to make sure he cleans it often. Rotary shavers eat hair, so they will get full and jam if not cleaned often.
@@TheCutBuddy thank you😊
Balder boss is a great shaver by Remington pit bull gold best so far silver version ok also balder pro version by Remington is ok , micro touch shaver is also good 😊
Hmmm... thanks for video !
definitely lots to think about but you should honestly be fine with all of these as long as you take care of them. Primarily cleaning the blades by running the shaver in a cup/faucet of soapy water. Good luck my friend.
I’ve had my baby bliss for sometime and was wondering if there was anything better right now on the market
I have the Freebird electric ⚡️ razor 🪒 I love ❤️ it. All the accessories that come with it. The lotions🧴 as well. The deals for replacing blades also the lotions 🧴 also. I got a great deal on mine. 😊I highly recommend it.
Glad you are getting a good shave for your head.
