The blades must be good on the remington then. I've been using a Philips aquatouch twice a day am and pm to keep that smoothness. But the blades on my Philips go blunt within 8-10 weeks. Been sitting on the fence for the last week about purchasing the remington or the pitbull to be honest.

They are not that far apart when it comes to functionality.. I just like the feel of the Pitbull slightly more and Skull Shaver offers multiple models of replacement blades , The Remington only has the one. Thanks for watching!

@@style_45 what are the difference between the blades? Does one cut shorter or longer? I’m not ready to go bic bald. But I’m afraid I don’t have much of a choice…

The Pitbull is more often then not on sale for $89 dollars… have you tried both?

They pretty much cut the same length, its the way they cut that is different between the 3. They take in to account skin sensitivity, ,hair thickness and Comfort.

Yes it’s definitely better then the Remington ... Thanks for watching!

Yes I didn’t think about doing a wet shave for the video but recently one of the channel subscribers suggested I try it so I did and it was great... I too shave about 3x/week and the Pitbull is such a time saver IMO . Thanks for watching!

Yeah it is better when the hair is a little longer. Thanks for watching!

Been two years any update?

@noyes. Yeah, I made a video a few months back!

👍🏽 Thanks for watching!

How close to razor close is it?

@socraticdisciple1761 you can definitely feel stubble, but it gets close enough for it to look like you shaved your head with a razor… I personally don’t see no difference in terms of the look between shaving my head with the razor and using the pitbull… if you’re a person that shaves their head every day, I would say stick to a razor because with the Pitbull, you need at least two days of hair growth for it to look like a freshly shaved head when you use it… I shave my head every 2 to 3 days, so it works for me.

I’m glad you’re enjoying it…. I used mine dry for about nine months because I was skeptical about using it in the shower but I’ve been using it wet for over the past year and a half and so far it’s been working out great. Thanks for watching!

Yes it is!.. I like the fact that I can use it anywhere and not have hair everywhere!

Hope you enjoy it!

Ah man, I LOVE IT!! I’m new to this whole thing. I suppose I’m spoiling myself because I can’t imagine doing it w/ an actual razor. 🪒 I haven’t figured out how to open it to REALLY clean it yet.

I will suggest you try it wet with a little bit of shaving gel in my experience, you get a closer shave.

Glad I could help! One thing for sure it’s a lot quicker then razor shaving...just not as close! Thanks for watching!

👍🏽

Yeah i’m glad to hear the RX5 is working out for you, I use both the Pitbull and the RX5, I have one in the house and the other in the car. Thanks for watching!

is the RX5 still good after 1 year of use ?

@@tHeFaNcYpOp still good after 18 months and still using original cutting head, after using I tend to go shorter using a headblade

Actually there’s multiple ways to hold the Pitbull , the one you described which is their selling point and holding the main body.. Many people use both for certain areas of the head …. Still the The Remington just feels better in the hand to me even taking the method you mentioned into consideration. Thanks for watching!

Glad to help… thanks for watching!

Glad the video helped you out... it’s been a few months and I’m still happy with it. Thanks for watching !

@@style_45 great to hear. Gonna subscribe i gotta check out what other stuff you review 👌

Glad I could help and thanks for watching!

Glad to help David…. Thanks for watching!

Lol 😂 the first comment I got was from them… even though I picked The Pitbull over the Remington I did say some things about the Pitbull that I’m sure they didn’t appreciate! 🤷🏽‍♂️ nevertheless I do appreciate your comment and thanks for watching!

@@style_45 they should appreciate honest feedback, no one who is on the fence is going to want an infomercial anyway

There’s not only one way to hold it there are grooves on the side of the body to hold it by the body …I didn’t give it a negative review I was just stating some of the things I like and dislike about it…while almost 2 years later mine is still working if that’s any help…. Thanks for watching!

Glad you enjoyed the video and thank you for subscribing! 👍🏽

Sorry to hear that! Were you using it wet or dry I just recently started using mine in the shower and I’m wondering if that’s going to have any affect on it?

@@style_45 it’s supposed to be fully waterproof, and you should be able to use in water or wet shave with no problems of it effecting the performance, I used mine dry every time and always had the problem with the battery! I had a Remington for about a week now and so far no problems used it twice, and it’s preforming very well, also never had a lot of neck rashing so the blades seem abit better when you shave close! The Remington also has a lot more body and body solidness and feel to it, where the skull shaver is much more hollow!

Thanks for watching!

Wow sorry to hear that.. mines is still working, but maybe thats due to the fact that I don’t use it as often as I do the Pitbull.

@@style_45 would still think it should last longer than a couple of weeks, and only using it twice a week in that time , bad batch? Maybe as was purchased from same retailer, but regardless I wasn't going for third time lucky. Pitbull gold pro now ordered.

Hope you like it… in my opinion, it gives you a more comfortable shave then the Remington.

Glad you liked it. Thanks for watching!

Yes i was a little disappointed in the Remington, the Pitbull does a great job but like i said not razor close so i mostly use it for inbetween razor shaves. Thanks for watching!

Hey thanks for this. I have a Panasonic Arc 5 and was considering the Remington just to try switching from Foil shaver to rotary as I get a lot of razor bumps and irritation. I think I’ll stick to the Panasonic, it takes forever to shave though although I have found that using it wet works best.

@@anonymous4201 ; You're welcome! Panasonic definitely better at the wet shave rather than dry. Since my original comment, if you're still wondering whether to change your electric shaver, I'd strongly consider giving the Babyliss Profoil Titanium a go. It's a twin-foil dry-shave-only (not waterproof) but it's the one a lot of barbers use for skin fades etc. I bought one about 7 months ago and haven't looked back. The motor is hugely powerful and the blades are exceptional. I find it a lot quicker than the faff of wet shaving, whether that's electric or with a traditional blade, and it shaves outrageously close. Timing myself, I consistently find that I can shave my whole head and get the job done, including cleaning the foil and blades, in 20 minutes bang on, and I use it daily. My Remington is largely redundant and I only keep it as a 'back up' but to be honest, my Panasonic has gone the same way too, now. I only ever use the Babyliss these days, it's just superb and I honestly don't think there's anything better. It's heavy, it's a fingerprint magnet too, but it's stellar performance. Unmatched, in my view.

@@garydc1057 thanks for the quick reply. I have looked at the babyliss it’s deffo a pro model that the barbers use but just concerned about whether it will give me razor bumps on my neck as it is dry shaving. Might give it a shot but trying hard not to go down this rabbit hole and start a new expensive obsession haha

@@anonymous4201 ; It's a funny thing with razor bumps. I think we either get them or we don't and I guess I'm lucky, because I don't seem to suffer that fate too much. You're right though, I can imagine it could be a rabbit hole if you're not careful. I only started shaving my head proper last year, about April 2020, and was wet shaving to begin with but was fed up of getting nics and cuts etc, so electric shaving seemed worth investigating. The Panasonic was my first purchase but only because the Remington wasn't available at the time I needed one. The Babyliss came about after seeing rave reviews etc, following a direct nudge in that direction by a barber mate of mine who recommended them. Best purchase in the end, it turns out, and has made the others redundant and I probably should have asked his advice first but hey-ho, we learn by experience. Re; razor bumps - I'm pretty sure there are products available via Boots and even Amazon etc, specifically for reducing razor bumps that seem to work according to those who buy them. Reviews from consumers are so valuable though, as always, so I'd pay attention to them closely if you do choose to look into that. Either way, good luck and glad I could help.

Thank you!

👍🏽 I’ve had mine about 2yrs .I use it dry and in the shower and haven’t had any issues😎

After this video I got fired! Lol 😏 Thanks for watching !

Your english seems great to me!👍🏽 Thanks for watching Alex!

@@style_45 I'll keep following your vids man, keep putting some chill music!

Yes that is my experience also but I do prefer it to shaving with a traditional razor, because of the ingrown hairs or nicks I get sometimes with that method. But like you said, as far as looks go, it’s great.

I’m glad I got four blade model and not five.. Hope you enjoy yours! Thanks for watching 👍🏽

How you liking the pitbull?

I’m still liking it! It’s been pretty convenient for travel and I find myself shaving my head more. It’s only been a couple of months but hopefully it holds up!

@@ashearer88 Works quite well on those days I'm not prepared to run a blade over my head. Gets a decently close shave, has a good battery life and is just an all around decent shaver. It won't replace my blades, but it's worth the cost!

Not only actually but rather also certainly yes in a way. I dunno

Update is in the works 👍🏽.. IMO both these head shavers and similar ones are more about functionality then durability.. but yes I will be doing an update thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching !

Lol 👍🏽 unfortunately I still have to buy razors to shave my face but if I had to use the same razor to shave my face and head I’m pretty sure I’ll be going through a lot more razors! Thanks for watching!

That’s good to hear and thanks for watching!

Glad to help and thanks for watching!

👍🏽

Per Skull Shaver there’s multiple ways to hold the shaver… on the website it self one of the models is holding it by the body in multiple pictures while shaving his head.. thanks for watching!

There’s a shaver on Amazon for $20 that looks exactly like the Remington, I ordered it and I’ll be doing a review to see if it’s better or worse than the Remington.

Damn that’s not what I want to hear. The pitbull is so expensive. But my hair is quite thick too. Thick enough that it can give me a sliver.

@@fatboynip Thick hair mofoes look at us ha ha ha it just means God loves us more ha ha ha its what i tell myself

I think Ill get both.. and keep the one that can cut my thick ass hair

😂👍🏽

@@jdsykes9125 lmao. I ended up getting the Philips 5000. On sale it’s about a third the price of the pitbull. So far I like it and it works really well. Not to mention Philips quality..

While if it’s the first time you’re gonna be shaving your head it’s inevitable.. but in my experience the more you do it the more your head gets used to it and the less potential for ingrown hairs. I still get them once in a while but only on the back of my neck ,I find exfoliating with a loofah helps reduce the frequency of ingrown hairs.

My Remington stopped working after about 20 uses'

@@style_45 was it making a clicking sound and not engaging the blades ?

I have a video of the noise it was making…. It was more of a grinding noise and it still cut but after 20 uses I don’t think it should have been making any grinding noise

Thanks for watching!

Glad to help… thanks for watching !

My apologies for the Typo's! Samsung S22 voice to text also sucks!

It is a great device.. I now find myself shaving my head more often then usual! I haven’t tried a wet shave yet🤔 Thanks for watching!👍🏼

@@style_45 it's a much closer shave when wet , I use mine with shaving gel and works great everytime .

Great 👍🏼 I have to try it then. Thanks!

👍🏾 hope it works out for you.

Thanks for watching !

On your recommendation, I’m going with the pit bull gold. Also. I wonder if the handling might go better if you position your grip between the base and the razor group?

I do use it like that but in certain areas of the head it just doesn’t feel right…

Thanks for the input I get this comment a lot, but some people don’t realize there’s not only one way to hold the pitbull that’s why it has grooves on the side of the body…. Thanks for watching!

Yeah I don’t know why I said 3yrs! Lol…Was yours the newest model? After 9 months mine is still working fine.🤞🏽

@@style_45 haha.. And I believe it is/was the newest model. I bought it May 2020 (received it June 2020) directly from skull shaver. Shaved with it about 30 times for around 2 min or less.. now I hit the button and the little piece that connects to the blade spins for a split second and stops, lol :-/

Correct I experienced this also!

Wow I would think at least they would have sent out a free blade. Is it The platinum version?

@@style_45 i actually told them that I think the blade is fine after I cleaned out the paint and just the plastic blade housing is all I need replaced... and that was their response.

I don’t mind new information as long as it’s fair… BBB website states that Skull Shaver has 39 complaints in the last 3 years and only 10 reviews, a simple Google Skull Shaver review search will tell you they have way way more then that. On the same site Remington only has 1 complaint and isn’t a BBB accredited business??? Point being can you really take the information one gets from that site seriously when there is hundreds if not thousands of good and bad reviews on both these products? As far as the blades go that’s subjective, maybe if you can go in to detail on why you say they are cheap that would help someone who hasn’t decided which one to purchase yet… Thanks!

@criptin are you saying that the Forte 4 Pro blade fits the Remington Palm ? I thought I read the Forte 4 Pro is made for the Pitbull.

You can also use the replacement blades for the Pitbull on the Skull shaver Palm, but I think the Palm has a lower battery capacity and it doesn’t come with the battery percentage indicator which I find helpful.

@@style_45 I have the pitbull gold and the palm with the same blades, the forte 4's. I think the pitbull gold might have a slightly stronger motor but battery times are about the same. The indicator on the gold is a nice feature I suppose. Honestly its not a huge difference in performance. I go back and forth between the two and it seems the gold does a bit better but both get the job done fairly well.

@@notchy12000 Never seen this comment til now but I dont think the blades will work on a reminington, pretty sure the way they connect to the shaver is unique.

@@criptin4075 thanks

Thanks for watching!

Yeah it’s a good device, just don’t expect a razor smooth shave.... and it is better then the Remington! Let me know what you think when you finally get to use it! Thanks for watching !

Customer service is terrible

Sorry to hear that…. Is it a battery issue?

This is exactly why I'm leaning toward the Remington. I'm reading horror stories about the Pitbull's durability.

As far as longevity The Remington might be the way to go I just like the Pitbulls functionality better…. After nine months my pitbull still working great! 🤞🏽

Like I said at the end of the video, the Remington isn’t a bad shaver but IMO the Pitbull is a little better... I’m sure if I only had the Remington it would get the job done. Thanks for watching!

I am not happy with remington...sometimes it gets stuck while shaving

I think both shavers have this issue if the hair is too long but I notice this issue more on the Remington.

@@style_45 I don’t think, because i shaving every second day, and one week i did not have problem...

Thank you and thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching !

👍🏽..thanks for watching!

Thanks glad you enjoyed it!👍🏼

There’s no doubt in my mind that the Phillips Aquatouch is mechanically superior to these bald head shavers but the ergonomic features is the selling point of these bald head shavers.. and yes I do agree with you… they’re over priced! Thanks for watching.

Yes seems it cuts a little closer wet.

Yeah I do use it like that for the top and back of my head but IMO it feels awkward trying to do the sides and around the ears... Thanks for watching!

I haven’t had to replace the blade so far and it’s going on a year of twice a week use…. But I’m sure I will be replacing it soon just for peace of mind. Thanks for watching!

I don’t think it would be a fair comparison video, they are in different “weight classes” if you will… but I have been tempted to get a Braun 9.

I haven’t had any issues with mine so far.. I think at this point after two years and a couple months, I would replace mines if it ever broke because like you said they are pretty convenient.

@@style_45 2 years and no probs sounds pretty good. I went with the Freedom shaver two weeks ago and so far so good. These shavers aren’t razor sharp close (some expect them to be) but they do the job and are well worth the investment. Hope mine keeps going strong.

@setupman62 I kind of like the fact that it’s not razor close saves me from getting any irritation… Hope the Freedom shaver works out for you.. come back and give us an update!

@@style_45 Update: My Freedom shaver already stopped charging last week lol! I was about to apply for a full refund and just stick to my razors but I am getting a replacement (exchange) delivered in 3 days. If this one fails to last at least as long as yours then I quit. Razors give me no probs except cost and inconvenience.

Yeah it is kind of pricey but so far it’s been working great... once in a while I see it go on sale .. Thanks for watching !

Lol 👍🏽 thanks for watching and good luck with your channel !

No they’re pretty much the same when it comes to speed.

Good to know. I have the Remington RX5, very happy with its speed and performance, especially when compared to using clippers but was wondering if there was something even faster.

Yes it works pretty good and it helps for those in between days of using a razor.. Thanks for watching!

@@style_45 yea i did have to use a straight edge as well and i use the pitbull wet too that helps a lot . thank you and Yw

Yeah I recently seen that 👍🏽 but when I made the video you had to get them from a third-party .thanks for watching!

Yes! it’s what I use currently....and after owning it for a few months I still enjoy using it.

@@style_45 Great! Do you use it daily and do you shave with it dry or with shaving cream?

I use it 2-3 times a week... I’ve tried it with shaving cream but didn’t find it cut any closer like some suggest .

There is not only one way to hold the Pitbull check the website!

Glad I could help... I’m still liking my Pitbull and I’m still getting a close shave with the original blades. Thanks for watching!

Never mind lol, just seen that you already gave your thoughts on this further down the comments 👍

Yeah the specs are the same. Thanks for watching !

I don’t think the Skull Shaver blades would fit on the Remington… Thanks for watching! 👍🏽

🤦🏽‍♂️ I swore to myself that I was not gonna repeat this anymore! lol…. there is not only one way to hold the pitbull there are notches on the body and if you go to the Skull Shaver website they state this on there also! But it’s all good I know that is one of the big selling points … thanks for watching!

Yes it does flex in but unlike the Pitbull, it doesn’t contour to the head.

Do you know what model? If it’s not to expensive I might check it out.

@@style_45model 3000 please I want a review. I'm your new subscriber

The Norelco is what I've been using for my head since 2013.

What model?

@@style_45 It's the 6948xl. On Amazon, it's $200 but I don't know why. I bought mine from Meijer years ago for $40. It works super good though but I don't know about $200. Wow!

Thanks for watching!

Do you mean the 5 blade cartridge?

Do you have a soft copy of the book you can share? Or a link to buy

Yes and I still use both but I enjoy using the Pitbull more and it has to do with the blades themselves the 4 head cartridge has more pivot points and thus feels more comfortable to use. The pitbull used to come with the exact same five blade shaving head as the RX 5 and I purchased it out of curiosity and they felt about the same.

I appreciate you saying that….. thanks for watching!

When I first got the pitbull, I used it dry for a couple months because I didn’t want to get it wet and risk it getting damaged but for the past year and a half I’ve been using it wet with shaving cream and I feel you get a smoother shave and my pitbull still works fine… As far as replacement blades go.. skull shaver recommends replacing them every 3 to 6 months With my original blade I used for about a year before I replaced it, so it’s really up to you!

Yes I’ve used it both ways but there’s certain areas where holding it by the finger mold felt awkward like around the ears and sideburns , the Remington felt better in the palm but I still think the Pitbull is a better device! Thanks for watching.

Great review and thanks for the clarification.

I really like my Pitbull so far, can't stop using it!

I actually wasn't impressed to be real not as a negative but it worked the same as the 30$ one from Amazon and took longer to cut i wasted cash if you ask me but I guess that's the point of the "pitbull" it's just a market thing

I only have tried the Pitbull and the Remington so between those two the Pitbull did a better job... but I’m curious about those ones they have on Amazon under $30... which one did you get?

I've had the 1st skull shaver over 7 years ago then it stopped working after a few years ,then I bought a bald eagle smart ,that working for 4 years then doesn't charge ,can't fix it , now I just bought a Pitbull gold. Hope this lasts more than 4 years.

Well if I can get a good year and 1/2 to 2 years I’d be satisfied with my purchase considering how much I use it!

Thanks for watching !

😂… they don’t get as close as a razor but they do get closer then clippers in my experience.

Yes I am! It’s still cutting pretty close considering I use it about four times a week. I’m going to give it another couple of months and then do a follow up video. Thanks for watching!

@@style_45 Thanks mate for the reply, yeah a follow up would be great.

👍🏽

There isn’t only one way to hold the Pitbull. that’s why it has grooves on the body also.!

@@style_45 yeah I figured that, that was the point.

Glad you enjoyed it... Thanks for watching!

What I said is the Remington feels better in the hand… there isn’t only one way to use the Pitbull so I don’t understand what you mean by using it correctly. Thanks for watching !

​@@style_45 I know there isnt only one way to hold it, technically you can hand hold it with your toes lol but there is a better way to hold it, since I own this shaver, and that is with the two fingers from the middle like you did at the end. So it would make that statement irrelevant lol and the comment about the warranty and customer service didnt make sense either. I just felt you were looking for cons. But thanks for putting the video up.

Even using the two fingers method I still felt the Remington felt better in the hand… sorry for the confusion! Thanks for watching!

Thanks! From what I have read and heard you would be paying a $100 dollars more just for the platinum color and a few accessories people dont end up using.... So I would suggest going with the Gold pro if those things dont matter to you. Thanks for watching!

Style45 thanks for the info! I appreciate it
