Top 5 Head Shavers in 2024
If regular shavers are just not enough for you and you want a deeper and cleaner cut – it’s a smart idea to switch to head shavers.
However, it isn’t an easy task to find a good head shaver as most of them are just average.
We’ve researched over 24 different head shavers and looked for something with titanium foils, multi-cutting technology, waterproof, suitable for sensitive skin, and a lot more important factors.
Here are this year’s top 5 picks:

OVERALL ANALYSIS
Osmo TopCutter is by far our favorite choice on the market.
What separates it from any other head shaver is that it uses high-grade titanium cutter and heads that ensure smooth and in-depth shaving.
Only quality head shavers use high-grade titanium, so it isn’t a surprise that TopCutter did such an amazing job in our test.
It has a 5-cutter design for faster and overall a lot smoother shaving than what we got with other shavers.
Twin-edged is responsible for smooth operation and it prevents your skin from getting pulled or irritated because the design is made to perfectly suit any surface. This means it will be smooth no matter your head/scalp shape and what area you’re shaving – beard, head, neck, etc.
With such a gentle operation, anyone can use it.
TopCutter is carefully designed to avoid ingrown hairs which is known to be men’s biggest enemy.
This lets you know how much battery you have left before charging it once again. This is super helpful when you’re carrying your shaver with you on a trip.
With all the features and factors, TopCutter deserves #1 place for this year.
Osmo offers a 14-day money back guarantee, so you can receive a full refund if you don’t find it good enough.

OVERALL ANALYSIS
Skull Shaver is the brand that first popularized head shavers, and according to our testing, the Skull Shaver Pitbull Gold PRO Head and Face Shaver is solid bald head shaver money can buy. This shaver has a comfortable ergonomic grip that makes it easy to hold for a close shave, and the flexible shave heads flex as you move the shaver across your head. We like to call it an “all-over design” that allows you to effortlessly shave without fear of nicks and cuts. Our testing also found that it lived up to its promise of a 90-minute runtime.
You’ll be able to use this bald head shaver in wet and dry circumstances, so you can even shave in the shower. Shaving is also possible in a multidirectional manner, so you can glide over your head from left to right and back to forth. Hair collects in the interior of the shaver for disposal after each shave, making for a mess-free shave. Seriously, you can shave on the subway on your way to work without ruining anybody’s day, although we don’t recommend that. Our reviewer even used this bald head shaver waiting for a ride at the airport with no mess whatsoever.
PROS
5-blade design
Easy and safe to use
Can last up to 10 years
Has attachable heads
Suitable for every skin type
Nice packaging
Fast operation
CONS
A bit expensive for most people
Some reviewers ended with irritated scalp

OVERALL ANALYSIS
When we tell you that we didn’t expect much from the Wyklaus Head Shaver 7D, we mean it. This bald head shaver comes with a whopping seven cutter heads and costs the average buyer just $55 when it’s on sale, which is practically always. That said, we could have bet money on this bald head shaver being a total piece of garbage.
Surprised? Yeah, that’s an understatement. This bald head shaver provided the fastest, most effortless shaves you can imagine at an unbeatable price. The seven rotary heads work at record speed to quickly leave your dome glowing in what feels like a matter of minutes. The design of the shaver has a nice way of cradling your head as you shave with just enough of a wiggle on the device for sneaker maneuvers you can’t necessarily do with many alternatives.
And, again — that price. Sheesh. Just $55 is nothing. Look no further if you’re trying the fully bald look for the first time. Buy this. You’re going to be more than impressed. We love this bald head shaver so much that it almost beat out Skull Shaver when we initially started testing, but unlike Skull Shaver, this bald head shaver does not store hair inside itself for a mess-free shave. Instead, it will fall wherever you’re shaving, causing quite a messy situation, so be sure to stand over your sink. Nonetheless, if you’re looking for a solid alternative to Skull Shaver that isn’t as expensive, you’ve found it.
PROS
Suitable for every skin type
Easy and safe to use
2 speed settings
Affordable
Good customer service
Free shipping
Nice design
CONS
Poor battery life
More painful than others
No big difference in speed level

OVERALL ANALYSIS
Upon initially testing the Braun Series 9 Pro, we were a little worried about the device’s appearance. In the course of testing, we fell in love with the all-over shave brought to you by the likes of Skull Shaver and Wyklaus (as opposed to foil shavers), but we were surprised upon trying the Braun Series 9 Pro. This has quickly become one of our favorite bald head shavers.
This buzzer provides a flawlessly smooth shave each time and works just as great on your head as on your face. A double clean-up, if you will. You can use it wet or dry, and it has a 20% better battery life than the previous series. With the included charging dock (the first-ever in the world of bald head shavers), you can have this puppy charged and rolling for up to six weeks at a time.
In testing, we found that the device lasted well over 60 minutes with a full charge, but the charging dock lets you go weeks without a power-up. If you want to shave in the shower, this waterproof bald head shaver lets you. Don’t worry, we tried both wet and dry shaves just to be sure, and the shaver works perfectly well both ways. Although the hair did begin to fall out of the device, and the razor was a bit loud, it left our product tester with some of the smoothest results he’s experienced in his testing.
PROS
Easy and safe to use
2 attachable heads
Built-in flashlight
Small and portable
Free shipping
Safe to use
CONS
A bit expensive
Designed for body hair

OVERALL ANALYSIS
If you’re the type that needs to get everything done at once, we suggest the AidallsWellup 5-in-1 Electric Head Shaver. This is an Amazon favorite with almost 11,000 reviews, so consider our curiosity piqued. We knew we had to try it for ourselves. During our experience, we noticed this is a waterproof head shaver that means it when it says “waterproof.” We did not fear running or submerging it under water in any way and shaved both wet and dry during testing. The shaver leaves your cranium super smooth for effortless shaves day in and day out, too.
Not only that, but this bald head shaver comes with multiple attachments that we don’t find useless, which is a surprise for most shavers. This bald head shaver is ideal for not only shaving your head but also massaging, cleaning, precision trimming and nose hair trimming. In our experience, the massage and cleaning add-ons are kind of silly and useless, but the precision trimmer and the nose hair trimmer are game-changers. No wonder why this one is so well-received on Amazon.
PROS
Easy to use
Free shipping
Nice design
Suitable for all skin types
Can be used all over the body
CONS
Outdated technology that is less efficient
The quality has declined over the years
Poor battery life

What Is A Head Shaver?
A head shaver is a hair tool that uses oscillating rotary blades — which are covered with a thin layer of metal and operate at a high speed — to cut hair.
Benefits of Head Shaver
- Visible results after the 1st application
- No razor cuts or irritated scalp
- Removes hair efficiently
- Completely safe and painless
- The fastest way to remove hair
- Can be used all over the head and neck
- Suitable for all skin types
- No skin pulling
- One-time cost
What Should Be Considered When Buying Head Shaver?
Quality cutter
The quality of foils depends on how sharp the cutter will be because it’s holed to form a particular mesh that covers the cutters. The best quality is high-grade titanium, so always look for it in a head shaver.
At least 30 minutes of run time
If a shaver has less than 30 minutes of run time, you should stay away from it as you’ll mostly need to use it while being charged. Aim to get multiple shaving sessions from just one charging.
Twin-head design
What twin-head design does is that it makes shaving far more efficient and doesn’t leave any hair by. It’s also smooth and gentle on your skin because of the spacing between twin cutter heads.
Waterproof
Most of us like to shave in the bathroom, and it’s easy for your shaver to get in contact with water. With waterproof rating, even cleaning is much easier and you don’t have to worry if it’ll stop working suddenly.
Warranty
A machine with a manufacturer warranty would mean that you would not have to worry about any manufacturing defects that you might come across during the warranty period. You can probably check this for each of the products you are considering and pick the one with the longest warranty.
What To Avoid In Head Shaver
No LCD display
LCD display is responsible for showing you how much battery is left in the shaver. This is super helpful because you know when to charge your shaver and it helps you have a peace of mind when carrying somewhere with you.
Not suitable for every area
When a head shaver is presented to be used only on your head, it’s because it will irritate your skin and damage it if you were going to use it for your beard, on your neck, or any other sensitive area.
Cheap knockoffs
There are a ton of cheap products (even on Amazon) that are just pure garbage. They aren’t even tested and they’ll just waste your time and money. In my opinion, anything below $70 can’t be functional.
