The Microtouch Titanium Head Shaver is one great piece of grooming gear. I expected this product to work, but not very well since I have had bad experiences with other similar gear. But I was getting fleeced at my barber for head shaves every couple of weeks. So, I decided, "what the heck, I'll give this one a try." WOW, was I ever surprised! This thing not only worked, it gave me a better head shave than my barber, and he uses a hot towel, shave butter, and a straight razor! I'm so glad I don't have to go and spend money on head shaves any more! And I can "touch up" at home any time I want! As a result of my satisfaction with this product, I purchased the Microtouch Titanium Max, the nose, ear and touch-up trimmer. These products are on a another level! These aren't the similar but cheap products you see (and have probably purchased) at some store. I recommend both products 100%! NOTES: (1) Just because you still have some stubble left, doesn't mean you didn't get a close shave. Take a look at your head in a well-lit room...I still have some stubble left over, but the light reflects off my head like I had removed ALL the hair. No one looking at you would ever suspect you still had some stubble left over, and wouldn't care if you did! So what if it snags your T-shirts when you slip one over your head? Who cares? That still happened to me after a straight-razor shave at the barber! If you're still not satisfied, then...guess what? You're never going to be happy with ANY head shaver. Sorry. (2) Slow down! Sure, you can shave your entire head in five minutes with this product. That doesn't mean you should. Exercise a bit more care by shaving a little slower. You wouldn't try to set a speed record shaving your face with a straight razor, would you? Six or seven or eight minutes is still a lot better than fifteen minutes with another product. (3) Use circular strokes as you shave with this product...clockwise AND counterclockwise. That way, you'll do the "with the grain," "cross-grain," and "against the grain" strokes just like you would with a razor on your face. Go look at the YouTube channels hosted by "professional shavers" and watch how they shave. The good ones do THREE passes on their faces. Why? Because if they didn't, they'd still have stubble. No two men are going to have the same grain pattern on their faces OR heads! Hell, the hair on my neck grows in FOUR different directions! (4) This product works great without water, shave cream or anything else that's just going to clog up the blades and reduce both their effectiveness and lifespan. If you still insist on doing something extra besides shaving...wash and towel-dry your head beforehand. (5) If you let your hair grow out more than a quarter of an inch, knock it back a little with clippers (electric or manual) before using this product. Make sense? (6) This is a great product, but it's never going to be better than the person using it. If the person using it tries to be a speed demon, or doesn't use the product with common sense, then...guess what? You're never going to get a good shave.
