Great shavers
I've been using the silver skull shaver for a few months, and I love it. Right off the bat, I would suggest buying the gold version. It wasn't available when I bought mine, so I went with the silver. It works great. I would recommend this to anyone. Why the gold over the silver? Why not the platinum? The platinum is good for some one who travels alot, I guess. Let me back up a bit. The battery life of the Silver, is 30 minutes. There is no digital display letting you know how much of the battery is left, so you end up (atleast I do) charging it after every use. The last thing you want, is to be shaving, and the battery dies half way through. I shave every 3 or 4 days, and the shaver is on for about 10 minutes or so. Obviously it's on longer if I go 5 or 6 days instead. If you go on vacation, you will end up bringing the cord with you. The Gold, and Platinum, both have a 90 minute battery. You can use it for a week, without worrying about charging the battery, and there is a digital display, letting you know how much battery is left. The platinum also has a travel lock. When engaged, it keeps the shaver from turning on in your luggage. I don't know how that could happen, but it must happen enough to have made them add this feature to the 200 dollar shaver. The silver is 100 dollars, while the gold is only 10 dollars more at 110. I don't know if motor strength increases with the different shavers, but I have run in to 1 issue. While shaving my skull, the blades will stop from time to time. It didn't start until I had the device for about 5 months. I try not to put much pressure on it, but sometimes you have to use pressure to get the closest shave possible. It doesn't stop evey time I use it, only once in a while, but I felt it was worth mentioning. Also, the shaver can be used wet or dry, with or without shaving gel or cream. I use nothing. I do, however, put lotion on my dome after I shave it. You can get it on Amazon. It's called Bee Bald Heal Post-shave Healing Balm. It's very soothing. I'm sure just regular old hand lotion would do the job as well, but the Bee balm helps to prevent bumps and redness. It's great if you are going to shave, then go out. You don't want any redness, or bumps. Especially in the back of your head where there can be some folds. Cleaning the device is extremely easy. I should also mention that the design makes it very easy to hold. I haven't seen anything else out there, like it. I couldn't be talked into buying a different type of shaver. Pitbull has come a long way, and these skullshavers are amazing.
