Shaving your head bald nowadays is more than just a style choice: it radiates confidence, simplicity, and care. But what is the best way to shave your head bald? And do you need to use a razor for that, or is a good clipper for your head enough?

In this guide, you will discover step by step how to get your head smooth in the best way with a clipper. And when you might switch to a razor. Of course, we also give you handy tips on using Revahs clippers, specially designed for both professional and home use.

Why choose a shaved bald head?

A bald head can make your appearance stronger, but it is also just super practical:

• No more worries about receding hairlines or thinning hair

• Easy to maintain

• Neat and fresh look, every day

• Perfect for athletes and people with an active lifestyle

What do you need to shave your head bald?

For a comfortable and safe shave, you need the right tools:

• Clipper with strong motor and adjustable comb attachments
  (like the clippers from Revahs, which are powerful and skin-friendly)

• Razor or safety razor (optional for ultra-smooth result)

• Mirror with a good view of the back of your head

• Shaving foam or gel (if you use a razor)

• Aftershave balm without alcohol

Step-by-step: How to shave your head with a clipper

1. Choose the right clipper

Use a clipper suitable for scalp use. Models from Revahs offer sharp, skin-safe blades, long battery life, and multiple settings – perfect for both beginners and advanced users.

2. Start with a longer guard comb

Don't want to go completely bald right away? Start with a 3 mm or 1.5 mm guard comb. This way you can get used to the feel and appearance.

3. Work systematically

Start at the top of your head and work downwards. Gently stretch the skin for an even result.

4. Want truly smooth? Then use a razor afterwards

A clipper shaves close to the skin, but not against the skin. Want a completely smooth result? Then use a razor or head shaver with shaving gel after trimming for an ultra-smooth look.

5. Rinse your head and apply care

Use cold water to close pores. Then apply a soothing aftershave balm to your scalp.

Clipper or razor – which is better?

Many men combine both: regularly using the clipper for maintenance and occasionally a razor for that 'smooth head'.

Common mistakes when shaving bald

• Using a cheap or dull clipper

• Not using mirrors or poor lighting

• Shaving too quickly without a plan

• Do not apply aftercare

Preferably use a quality clipper like Revahs, specially developed for head use. This prevents irritation, stubble, and uneven patches.

Care for your scalp after shaving

After shaving, your scalp is more sensitive to sun, cold, and irritation. Tips:

• Use a daily moisturizing lotion or alcohol-free aftershave

• Apply sunscreen on your head (at least SPF 30)

• Avoid scratching or rubbing the scalp
