Regarding Foil Razors and Head Shaving

[Jim Elliott]

I had someone on my YouTube channel post the comment on one of my videos that foil razors aren't designed for head shaving. I replied to him there and I'll address it here, too. There seems to be some debate about this, and I thought I’d share my perspective based on personal experience.

The Common Belief​

It's commonly believed that foil razors are primarily designed for facial hair. They’re known for providing a close and precise shave, and they’re often recommended for people with sensitive skin. This might make you think they’re only meant for the face.

My Experience​

Now, here’s where my personal experience comes in. I’ve been using foil razors, including the Braun Series 9 Pro 9465cc and the Remington PF7855 Virtually Indestructible foil shaver, for head shaving with great results. Despite what some might say, foil razors can and do work well for head shaving.

The Versatility of Foil Razors​

Foil razors might not be marketed specifically for head shaving, but their design doesn't preclude them from being effective for that purpose. They offer a close shave, and I find them to be quite efficient at handling head stubble. The key is finding the right technique and getting used to the feel of the razor.

Addressing the Critics​

There was a comment on one of my YouTube videos claiming that foil razors aren't "desighned" (yes, they spelled it that way) for head shaving. While it's true that many foil razors are marketed for facial use, that doesn't mean they can't be versatile tools for other types of shaving. Personal experience and preference play a huge role in this.

Conclusion​

In conclusion, while foil razors might be traditionally designed for facial hair, they can be effectively used for head shaving. It's all about finding what works best for you. Don’t be afraid to experiment with different types of razors to discover your ideal shaving routine.

I’d love to hear from others who use foil razors for head shaving. What’s been your experience?
