Bald Eagle X

Like most men who lose their hair, I decided to voluntarily go bald in the hope it would confuse women into thinking I was younger than I am. But I didn't fancy the idea of wet-shaving my noggin from all kind of weird angles and cutting myself, so I googled around for an electric shaver designed for such a situation and eventually settled on the Bald Eagle X. Now, maybe I expected too much from this thing or maybe the other, better, more expensive models in the Skull Shaver range have features that mitigate this unit's problems... but the Bald Eagle X really didn't work for me.This thing really doesn't like hair. If you've got more than 3mm of growth on your head, the shaver will clog up with hair faster than a hipster's plughole. The solution, apparently, is to dunk the blades end in water and turn the shaver on for a few seconds to dislodge the hair. Doesn't work. I had to disassemble the thing, mid-shave, to unclog it with a pair of tweezers and a paperclip, and each time I did, I feared I'd break it. And once the shaver clogs up with hair (which is about three seconds into using it), it slows down, starts making death rattle noises and fails to cut anything. You have to use clippers first to get the hair down to a grade 1 and even then, it's prone to clog anyway. In order to get the device to do any real shaving, you end up pressing the thing into your skull with such force that you're in danger of developing carpal tunnel syndrome.Maybe I was expecting too much. After all, it is the base model (albeit a £50 base model) and the pricier ones might have a vacuum feature or stronger blades or a hotline to the Samaritans... but the Bald Eagle X is only designed to be a simple shaver and in my mind, it fails at that task too. I did manage to shave my head bald with it after 40-odd minutes of frustration and maybe it works fine if you use it every day... But if you just want to shave your head once a week like a normal folically-challenged man, grab a decent multi-blade razor and some shaving foam and wet shave your bonce instead. It's quicker and there'll be less swearing.Or swap your shampoo for Veet if you want the no-effort, burning-sensation solution instead.

Don't bother! Currently sat waiting for battery to die. After not turning on or charging at all the damn thing has now come to life on its own and won't turn off. Utter rubbish. Awaiting refund!

Great head shaver, have no problems shave my head with this razor, don’t need the wife to do it anymore

My husband has bought this product twice now and it has broken down once just after a year and this second time after just 3 months. In theory it’s a great idea but it just doesn’t last very long. He will not be buying it again.

Complete rubbish, died in a few days, had to return it

Not a very good shave. Need to overshave for several minutes to get anywhere near to acceptable meaning a recharge almost daily.

Rubbish got this for my husband as a wedding anniversary gift and it’s such a let down:-( doesn’t shave well at all I wish I had spent the big amount of money on something better!

Lasted 9 months and it doesn't shave your head in 90 seconds.Just bought a differnt shaver for half the price that probably does a better job.
