The 7 Best Head Shavers for Men, Tested and Reviewed

The thing we love about Manscaped tools is that they’re always designed with the user in mind and contain features and improvements that you didn’t even know you wanted. This is the case with the iconic Lawnmower body groomer and extends to this new head shaver as well. It features five rotary blade heads arranged on a curved pad that flexes to the shape of your head, so it’s gentle on your skin and protects your delicate dome from nicks and cuts, even when passing over bumps. The result is a baby-smooth shave, even on the back of your head. We especially like the ergonomic design, which lets you grip the base itself or the razor pad for precision and security when shaving. Plus, hidden inside the pad is a chamber that catches hair clippings, which makes cleanup after shaving a breeze (just pop open the chamber and rinse it under the faucet). It’s all powered by a powerful 9,500 rpm motor. Like many head shavers, it’s waterproof, so you can use it wet or dry and with or without shaving products. On top of all that, we love that the long-lasting battery is charged via USB-C cable instead of some weird proprietary charger, which cuts down on the amount of cords tangled in your bathroom drawers. Overall, this head shaver is the top of the line.

This head shaver is on the smaller side and fits effortlessly into the palm of your hand, allowing you to securely move it over the entirety of your head quickly and efficiently. There are five rotary heads that all feature ScalpSafe blades, designed to give you a close shave while preventing nicks, cuts, and irritation. And it’s true, we noted no post-shave irritation or cuts during the shaving process. In fact, it delivered one of the closest shaves in the shortest amount of time out of any other shavers on this list. We also appreciate the additional attachments, like the pre-shave cleansing brush and the precision clipper, though we felt that using the device on other parts of our face or body was a little awkward, since the base is well designed to use on your head but not so easy to use anywhere else. That’s okay, though, since this trimmer does what it needs to do and does it well.

Like many head shavers, this one features five rotary shaving heads and an ergonomic base that’s designed to fit into the palm of your hand. It’s on the heftier side but also features a no-slip grip that we found helped make it feel more secure in our hands. The heft of it also contributes to the overall durability of the shaver, which some reviewers say they’ve been using for years without noticing any decrease in effectiveness. It’s also very easy to clean, with a chamber in the razor pad that catches hair, and the entire head of the device can be run under the faucet to clean it. That’s because it’s also waterproof, so if you like to shave in the shower or use products with your head shave, this one can handle both. Other features, like the pop-up trimmer, are nice but pretty standard when it comes to head shavers. Still, we love this one not only because it work very well but because it stays consistent—and really, what more can you ask for?

You may have noticed your barber using this foil shaver when he does skin fades and cleans up your neck. It’s a barbershop classic, and has been for years, because it just works damn well. There aren’t a lot of bells and whistles like what you’ll find on many of the other head shavers on this list, but it doesn’t need them. It gets the job done just as well as if not better than anything else out there. It’s a classic foil shaver and doesn’t move or contour to your head, but the size is small enough that you can hold it in your hand and we never had any issue with it missing spots, even on the curves of our dome. While it delivers an ultra-close shave on your head, and technically you can use it for other parts of your body, too, it may be too harsh to use on your face or neck (trust us, we’ve tried it). But if we’re talking about head-shaving prowess, this one is at the top of the heap.
