Longterm (7 months) Review of the Skull Shaver Pitbull Platinum Plus Shaver 

I’m playing this at 2x speed and it’s still slow

Best review of this product I’ve seen. Thank you!

I've looked at them (and some competitors) several times and then saw your unbox video. I'd been waiting on this one though. I just want the straight dope without someone trying to sell me something. Thanks, Dirk. Have a great week.

Thanks for the review Dirk!

I have had one for 3 months. I love it

This shaver works well with the (carver blades) And I've had mine pitbull gold for 3 years still happy with it. I do sharpen my blades monthly on a 1000 whetstone then finishing on a 5000 whetstone. using a circular motion. And the shaver works stronger using it pluged in to power for a quicker shave....

Good vid Dirk buddy, I also shave my head too, since I was a young lad. I use the Remington Balder Pro, which works very well, but you are right, nothing gets as close as a wet shave with a razor blade.

Very cool, and especially for travel. Avoiding cutting your head while away from home is a good thing!

This was a great vid, thanks!

I've always wondered about this thing. I missed your initial video and I'm a year late to this one! The only time I ever used an electric was when I was in the military. My beard grows so thick that by noon it looked like I never shaved. I've never considered one for my head.

Thanks for the video now I know not to waste my money cause I like a close shave

Overall seems pretty good. I think it would serve me well as I don't wet shave just clip it down as close as possible about once a month. This might be the ticket to keeping it short. Great review 👍

Mine does the same thing except it only stays on for 30 seconds.

Thanks for the video. Did you try the other skull shavers that were recommended to you because they cut closer and left a smoother feel?

These are my thoughts after having used this shaver for 2 weeks, note that this is for the gold version and that is the first shaver for the head that I have ever bought. I think the only differences between the platinum version and this, are the shaver case and the 3-razor header adapter. - I really thought it would save me more time than using a regular electric shaver not specialized for the head, I still had to give it a quick second pass and even a 3rd, but well at least 10 min of difference is ok I guess, but really expected way more. - It is still a big pain in the butt to get cut the hair around the ears, no matter if shaved In the opposite direction of the hair growth, pushed it harder against my head, or positioned just one header in the desired area, is still almost impossible to get those annoying tiny hairs done, which really disappointed me, and I am pretty sure the 3-razor header that comes with the Platinum version wouldn't make any difference either. - The battery is very long-lasting indeed, I guess that with time it will naturally decrease the number of times you can use it without having to recharge it. - About how close the shave is, I don't really care too much about it, I just wanted to get my hair shaved quickly and without any cuts, which partially delivers, but I noticed that you get a closer shave if you use a foam or shaving gel that works well with the shaver, in my case I used a Nivea Sensitive shaving foam. - There are no instructions on how to assemble the shaver and trust me is not that obvious how to put the razors, spinning shafts, and blades together. Overall I rate this shaver 7.5, will save you some time but you expect a better performance. Btw thank you for putting this amazing review Dirk, really appreciated it!

Dude thanks for your honesty I may get one or not.

I’ve shaved my head ever since I saw my wedding pics with me from behind. 20 years ago. Never used an electric shavers. I’ve been looking into them now. Thanks for the review. Not sure if I’ll get one though cause I shave every 3-4 days and I love the close shave that makes my head all shiny and smoooooth.

Have you tried the Remington rx5 no videos compare both as that meant to be good to

Lots of Amazon reviews say the 'platinum' finish peels off. Have you had that problem?

90% BS, 10% useful information.9:50 I found out what was important.

Would you say it just feels like 12-24hrs after a razor shave?

Apparantly there is a higher grade set of blades, a swap out blades insert. Have you tried that?

I Wanna Buy Me One Which One Is The Best Close Shaver Cause I Heard That The Pitbull pro Is The Best When You Shave Your Head Wet It Could Be The Four Blades If You Had Five Blades It Might Be Better And Also How Long Do You Have Too Change The Blade seven Or Six Months I Saw Someone Doing The Same Review Video Like You He Said A Year.

I'm thinking about getting one I go through many blades shaving my head

Why do we have to replace the section that holds the Blades & not just the Blades.Would it not save on money & material waste !!?

How long lasting are the blades? I know you just bought a new replacement after 7 months but I am really concerned that the print card in the box states "replace every 2-6months" and I am oh man really? Like 6 months guess its fine, but every 2? I would feel scammed and returb the product if after only 2months I need to replace the blades.

You get a much better, closer shave if you exfoliate one way or anther, I just wash my face and head with one of the cheap exfoliation glove, it increases shaved results

This machine needs a little oil once in awhile?

Is it really a good razor

Yeah I forgot to say I really wish people would stop trying to compare any electric razors to a standard handheld razor cartridge, safety, whatever a damn razor!

The reason that you get a closer shave after being up for awhile is fluid. Due to lying flat for several hours while sleeping, much of the fluid in your body just moves to, and settles in, your head. This is why we all have a "puffy face" in the morning. This keeps your whiskers from being fully exposed, and thus you shave first thing, but a bit later, as fluids leave the face/head, the whiskers that weren't exposed before, now are exposed, so you feel "sand papery." There is a bunch of info out there about it, including using a cold compress, or some brisk exercise, to get the fluids to drain back downward before shaving.

maybe write a script to stay on point. Thanks for the info.

Still works good ?

I got the skull shaver gold in May 2023. The motor blew within three months, got a replacement motor and it didn’t work out of the box. This is the kind of garbage these people sell? Don’t waste your money or go find another brand to use.

I dare you to manscape with it!

Sir everybody knows no electric razor even the iconic Pitbull or any of the others will ever cut as close and clean as a razor these electric ones are more for a quick convenient shave that can be decent to good depended on which electric razor you purchase. IMO 🤓

Did you film this drunk? lol

It’s not a razor blade so your definitely gonna feel some stubble. No way around that.

A good way to describe it is its as close to double 0 as you can get without using a razor blade

Mate, NO electric shave is gonna beat a razor. There's a guard in the way.

Just some feedback on content creation, format, etc. Im 2 min and 30 seconds in so far. I came here hoping to learn your experience with the product and how well it held up the last 7 momths. So far Ive learned the backstory of your previous video, how well that video did, that you replaced the blade (but not why other than it was time), and now you are launching into how you contacted the product manufacturer. You have lost my attention at this point. I am now going to fast forward to where you start talking about the quality of the product and your experience over 7 months. See what im getting at?

I love my Platinum. I'm the shower it's even better.

Video to long, on to the next review. See ya

You have a platinum Not gold

how is that possible talk 10min. and say nothing, such a waste of time.

Turned off after 3 minutes. Get to the point dude

Trying to talk slow to drag out 10 mins makes it so boring

This is the worst video for the information we need. Get to the point Damn!!

For me a simple shaving blade like Gillette does the job and only one shave
