The Skull Shaver Pitbull Gold Pro has completely exceeded my expectations. From the very first use, it delivered an incredibly close, smooth shave with no irritation. The ergonomic design fits perfectly in the hand, making it easy to maneuver around the head. The blades are powerful and efficient, cutting through hair quickly without pulling or discomfort. I especially appreciate how fast the shave is—what used to take a long time now only takes a few minutes. The battery life is excellent, and the fact that it’s waterproof makes cleaning and maintenance extremely easy. Overall, the Pitbull Gold Pro is a high-quality, reliable grooming tool that truly delivers professional results at home. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a clean, comfortable, and time-saving shave. Read more
WARNING! Don’t waste 2 years of time and money with groomie shaving. Pitbull Gold is the real deal. Easy to clean and take apart to replace entire head or actual blades. Great grip that fits well in the palm of your hand and very smooth on head. It maintains an even and clean cut with not too much pressure needed. It is quick in getting the job done and the battery energy is amazing. Wet or dry performance are both great. Very sturdy with respectable weight. Has yet to break, blades get stuck on me, or dismantle in my hands like groomie did so many times. This won’t disappoint! Read more
Started using this July 31st, just now put it on for its first full charge on September 4th after using it every other day. The good: Powerful motor and blades Easy to clean - especially compared to Freebird brand which I was using previously Comfortable design - works well wet or dry but ideally it works best with some shave cream. The less good: The charge port cover isn't attached in any way once you remove it to charge so the possibility of losing it is high, keep an eye on it It cuts close, but not as close as a regular razor. It works better on an every-other-day or every-three-days basis for me, but your mileage may vary depending on your hair type (mine is pretty fine texture). Overall, a great razor with minor issues, the charge port cover is my biggest concern. The display of charge is great too - even though this was the first charge of it, I still had 12% battery left, just didn't want to risk a half-shave before it died. Read more
I've been using this line of shavers for about 2 years now. The battery just died on the first one, and I just ordered a replacement so I figured I'd leave a review. First of all - battery issues? Yes. The first two weeks I used my shaver, I thought all the reviews about the poor battery life were either unlucky or outside the norm. Then one day about two weeks in, I started shaving with the battery at 50% and it abruptly died mid-shave. After that I noticed the battery would decrease normally (about 3-5% for each five minute shave), but once it hit around 50 or 60%, the battery would drop 1% every second until it hit zero. I thought this was fine - I have to charge the shaver every week, so what? The problem is, this "battery drop off" point kept creeping higher and higher over the past year and a half until recently, when the battery died as I started shaving at 92%. I had been recharging the shaver after every two shaves already, so I figured this was time to get a new shaver. If the new one follows the same pattern, I'll be reasonably satisfied if the battery gets me through two years. After reading about battery charging and battery life, the plan is to use the shaver until 60%ish battery, then charge up to 90%ish each time - might help, might not. So why buy the same shaver if the first one had such an unreliable battery? I haven't used any other electric head shavers out there, but I had been shaving my head with a safety razor for a few years before I tried the Pitbull. I can't say anything about the other shavers, but my skin is pretty sensitive, so I am hesitant to try new shavers - and the Pitbull is pretty good in this regard. The four bladed (I think it's called the Forte) attachment that comes with the shaver doesn't irritate my skin, and is fairly reliable (I only broke the first one by dropping it multiple times - my bad). I'd say that shaving against the grain with the shaver gets my hair very close to what a safety razor would get (also going against the grain). Obviously it's not quite AS short, but the difference is maybe 6 hours or so of hair growth for me. It's definitely closer than shaving with the grain with a safety razor, and shaving against the grain with a razor can cause irritation for me anyways. So the quality of the shave is fairly good, I only have to shave every 2 days to maintain a clean look. But the best advantage of the Pitbull is TIME. It only takes 5-7min to shave your head, rather than the 20min it would take me with a safety razor. I'd recommend using conditioner on your head when using this shaver, using shave soap and a brush will actually get the blades of the Pitbull coated with soap that doesn't easily come off, and the bristles of the brush will occasionally come off and get sucked into the shaver - which messes with the blades and is annoying to clean. Conditioner is easy to wash off, all you have to do is rinse with hot water, and the shave is smooooooth. TLDR: Buy to save time. Shaves pretty close to safety razor, if not 'baby bottom smooth'. Do a favor and use conditioner instead of all the other shaving products. Yeah, battery kind of sucks. Read more
