Being bald has its advantages: Shorter showers, no more barber shops, and less time trying to figure out which shampoo is chemically balanced for your specific hair type. Of course, there are down sides, too. Chief among them is getting rid of the last remaning hairs that are still growing.
Iv'e been shaving my head for a few years now, and I have grown quite accustomed to it. What I hate about it is the actual act of shaving. It's archaic and borderline torture - dragging a bit of sharp metal across your scalp over and over, all different ways until your head looks like a swollen tomato. Even with the expensive razors, I still manage to cut myself from time to time.
Enter the Panasonic Arc 4! I got this beauty for Christmas after pondering aloud how an electric shaver would work on my misshapen skull. The thing works great, and I totally recommend it to anyone who shaves their head as much as I do. It's really a God-send for us bald types.
Before my first shave, I took my clippers and buzzed my hair as close as possible, to reduce the amount of work my new shaver had to do. Then I lathered my head and went to town.
This thing was really smooth. It felt great, easy to handle, and did a pretty great job - for the first few minutes. Then I noticed that it wasn't cutting as much hair as it was in the beginning. I took the head apart, rinsed it out, and it fired up like new again. So I'm thinking that it was just clogged with hair and shaving cream and whatnot. Which is pretty good, considering I had already cut half my head. These things are made for faces, not giant heads. I also figured that the secret to a good shave is maintenance - keeping the hair short will make it easier to cut. So the next day I did just that and gave myself a quick touch-up. Perfection!
If you do end up getting this unit, the one tip I have is to keep your head damp. I find that the Arc 4 doesn't cut as close dry as it does wet - even with shaving cream. and if you do end up buying it, do us a favor and please buy it from one of the links in here, so I can get a little love for the referral. Thanks!
