Freebird Shaver Review: More Reliable Than Pitbull And Groomie?

The number of promising head shavers out there remains limited. However, among that niche market is the Freebird Shaver, the face of the grooming brand based in Pennsylvania, US.

Freebird’s Flex Series is what I’d like to call a one-man army in the world of head shavers. In other words, if you’ve got the kit in your hand, there’s a chance you wouldn’t want to switch brands ever again.

Freebird’s Flex Series may look like your average head shaver that only provides convenience and a surprisingly time-friendly schedule to their users. However, there’s more to it than meets the eye.

To stand on my previous remark, I even went out of my way to obtain the gadget, which didn’t disappoint. Nonetheless, here’s a maximized review of Freebird’s head shaver; a diamond in the rough in the grooming scene!

The Unboxing Of Freebird Shaver: The Star And The Facilitators

Upon unboxing Freebird’s Flex Series Shaving Kit, I immediately knew that I was in for a fruitful surprise. In fact, if I were to rate my experience in unwrapping every bit of Freebird’s shaver, I’d give it a solid 10 on a scale of 10.

This is because Freebird doesn’t just provide the head shaver, which is amazing with its glossy paint job and up-to-date hardware, but also provides a travelling pouch, alongside an effective instruction manual, which also has their backstory!

Did you know that the founders aren’t even bald? How nice is it of them to solve problems that they don’t even have? VERY.

Apart from the 5-way rotary blades and the user-friendly base of the head shaver, the Flex Series comes with a precision clipper, assigned to sharpen the structure of your face by trimming away the awkward pieces of your sideburn.

Since the device is a two-way shaver, meaning it can also take care of your beard, the precision clipper is also used to sharpen the outskirts of one’s facial hair for more fullness, with 3 clipper guards that offer 3 different kinds of aesthetics.

Next to the clipper is a nose trimmer, which is not something you’d find on your average shaving kit. Sure, having nose hair is said to be more beneficial health wise, the ones that pop out need to go, especially if you’re preparing for a date!

The nose trimmer is a two-in-one companion, it seems, as the pointy head is also an ear trimmer, which can be an unholy view if you’ve seen a pair of hairy ears before!

Alongside having shaving assistants, the Flex Series also provides souvenirs to make the aftermath just as eventful, with an exfoliation brush that removes dead skin from your scalp, and gets rid of any unwanted residue left behind by the shaver.

As unnecessary as it might seem at the start, the scalp scrubber is also a great extra, which promotes hair growth by establishing more blood circulation on your scalp. The massage also concludes the session in a pleasant way.

Now that you’re aware of even the tiniest component found in the family of Freebird’s Flex Series Shaving kit, it’s time to move on to the star of the show, Freebird’s 5-way Rotary Shaver.

But before you indulge in all that makes Freebird’s shaver one of the best head shavers in the world today, here’s a list that covers the fundamentals of the shaver, from its size to the mass it holds.

• RPM : 8,500
• Wet/Dry Shaving : Yes

Key Features Of Freebird’s 5-Blade Rotary Head Shaver

Freebird as a brand is known for tons of specialties, with one of them being how affordable it is for anyone and everyone. The Flex Series Shaving Kit remains the same way, abiding by old traditions with a price tag that is great value for money.

While the affordability of Freebird’s head shaver is one of the pivotal selling points shaping the success of the all-in-one grooming tool, there are tons of key features that allow the gadget to always find success.

Here are some of the features that I believe had me sold on investing in Freebird’s 5-blade rotary shaver, along with their Flex Series Shaving Kit.

Lightweight Craftsmanship

Taking away the spotlight from the start is the aesthetic of Freebird’s 5-way rotary shaver, draped in gold and black for an eye grabbing effect.

The handle is a bit sturdier than usual, preferring a chunkier silhouette as opposed to Pitbull Gold Pro’s much more compact and secure base. Nonetheless, I do believe that the handle is of premium quality, offering two ways to hold the head shaver when push comes to shove.

I often prefer squeezing my index and middle finger in between the attached rotary shaver, which I believe is a banger when you’re aiming for close shaves; an element I will dive into during the second half of this guide.

However, those that are accustomed to taking full-on support from their palm can always grab onto the surface of the handle, which is more effective if you really want to maximize your freedom by moving in various directions using the Freebird shaver.

5-Way Shaving Elements

The rotary shaving elements make the Freebird shaver a must-have in the grooming world, curated with ScalpSafe technology to prioritize protection in addition to generating top-notch shaves.

While the shaving elements also make the 5-blade rotary shaver one of the best electric head shavers in the business, the compartment lacks size in contrast to some, if not, most of Freebird’s competitors, such as Remington, Pitbull, and Microtouch.

However, just because they lack size doesn’t mean that they’re not any less useful. In fact, among the best head shavers on the market, Freebird is regarded as one of the most convenient gadgets, ensuring protection with 5 skin-safe rotary blades, enhancing security with ScalpSafe Technology.

For those wondering, ScalpSafe technology is a chip that enables the rotary blades to minimize contact with the scalp, sparing Freebird from leaving behind unwanted nicks, scratches and friction on a sensitive scalp.

Unreal Motor Capabilities

While the previous portion gives flowers to the way in which Freebird ensures safety, this portion digs deeper into what’s behind the hardware, which starts with the impressive motor of Freebird’s head shaver.

Many claim that Freebird is one of the fastest head shavers out there. I believe that take, but only because of the motor that backs the operation of the head shaver.

Moving at the speed of light, covering an RPM of 8,500, Freebird is indeed one of the quickest, and therefore, most time-efficient tools to rely on in the industry today!

Water Resistant

Since different hair types respond to different kinds of maneuvers, the ideal head shaver needs to adapt to wet shaves as well as dry shaves to meet the demands of each user.

Freebird understands the importance of that perfectly, it seems, taking notes from foil shavers before mimicking a body kit that accommodates both wet and dry shaves.

With the no-slip grip, it is also quite easy to hold onto the device when partaking in wet shaves. And although the ScalpSafe technology does prevent nicks and scratches, using shaving foam is a must for squeaky clean results!

Two-way LED Battery Indicator

Many often show disdain towards Freebird’s head shaver due to leaving out a source through which one can take notes of the battery life. However, I think that the LED engraved underneath the power button of the head shaver is sufficient, as long as you’re aware of how it works.

The battery indicator flashes green and red based on the state of the Freebird shaver.

When it flashes red, don’t be nervous, as it only implies that the device is recharging. Having the red light flash might also mean that the device has yet to reach a full battery life.

On the other hand, when the device is fully charged, a green light is said to make its way to the display of the indicator!

Fruitful Grooming Assistants

The Flex Series not only takes care of one’s head shaving requirements, but also offers tons of extra equipment for grooming to facilitate an everlasting glow, otherwise known as the supporting accessories.

From providing a nose trimmer to promoting the growth of coarse hair with a scalp scrubber, the Flex Series is a must-have investment if you’re big on hair care, as well as skincare.

If you’re not too fond of the brief segment mentioned in this section, rewind back to the unboxing portion, as I’ve described every additional grooming tool inside the packaging in detail.

Equipped For Travel

If you’re often suiting up for meetings that require you to travel from coast to coast, having the Flex Series Shaving Kit is more than just a bright idea.

The device can be dismantled to fit any kind of luggage, from duffle bags to suitcases, being the perfect walk-on for your travel shaver. What makes things way easier is the travel pouch, made with velvet, draped in black.

The compact hardware alongside the bag makes this device quite the travel-buddy. I would suggest to only travel with the head shaver and leave out the extras, since it might lead to congestion.

A Deeper Dive Into The Ergonomics

If the Freebird shaver reminds you of the Remington Balder Pro, you’re not the only one. In fact, due to the similarities in their paint job and design, many often enter the same dilemma, confusing one for the other. If you don’t believe me, have a look at the picture right below this scheme!

Nonetheless, despite how similar it looks from a design standpoint, the ergonomic build of Freebird features a base that is much more stocky than the lean handle of the Remington Balder Pro. It still hits the jackpot, however, proving to be more durable than its competitor.

The device is as light as any other head shaver if you ask me, weighing in at a whopping 5.5 ounces to have the edge over Pitbull’s Skull Shaver models.

Following a minimal scheme, Freebird’s 5-blade rotary shaver only includes a logo on the handle, which leads to the power button. Underneath the power button are two icons that are devoted to the battery life of the head shaver; an element I shall dive into using the next segment.

A pop-up trimmer is also placed rather seamlessly at the back of the rotary attachment, while a charging port is placed in between the rubberized grip of the device to conclude the craftsmanship.

Endurance: Battery Build And Restoration Of Freebird Shaver

If you’ve already skimmed through my list of best head shavers on the market, you’re probably aware of the battery life that every compelling tool needs to have. And though the Remington Balder Pro and Pitbull Silver get free passes with their below average runtime, Freebird is one that goes beyond one’s expectations on paper; but not so much in theory.

According to Freebird themselves, the 5-blade rotary shaver carries a battery life of 90 minutes, being equally powerful as the Pitbull Platinum PRO and Gold PRO.

However, it actually offers a runtime of just an hour, which I discovered after powering the device on and leaving it idle until it was completely drained.

The restoration of the device is a bit easier to comprehend thanks to the indicators, but not any different if you’re thinking of the ETA. Since the Freebird shaver is recharged by a 5v cable, I don’t think I expected something more than the ordinary, either.

How I Tested Freebird’s Flex Series Shaving Kit

Since I often work with trimmers, electric shavers, and hardly ever require head shavers, I didn’t use it on the top of my scalp, as it has zero signs of hair loss, still.

Instead, I used the rotary shaver manufactured by Freebird on the sides of my head, which has a coarser texture as opposed to the density of the cuticles at the top.

For context, the hair I have on the sides are extremely short, amounting to 0.5 mm at least, and 1mm at most. While it could be too short for razors, this appears to be the perfect length for a rotary shaver like Freebird’s 5-blade companion.

Since even the prominent rotary shavers struggle to chop off larger sizes of hair, I believe that anyone giving Freebird’s rotary shaver a chance should ensure their hair is shortened manually beforehand, especially if success is the main aim.

Nonetheless, if you’re wondering how well Freebird shaver adapted to my hair, and curious to learn how the experience turned out, race to the next segment to meet your cravings!

My Experience With Freebird Shaver: Assessing The Performance Of The Rotary Shaver!

The Freebird shaver isn’t just a must-have if you’re hoping to boost your esteem by using a grooming companion to minimize signs of hair loss, but much more than that. It offers delicately-crafted blades that handle the scalp with care, ensuring an injury-free session with gleaming results.

While there were a couple of obstacles, the service that Freebird’s rotary shaver handed out to me was picture perfect, almost. The key takeaways mentioned below could be a blessing if you’re short of time. But don’t ignore the extended review to establish a better understanding of my two cents on Freebird’s head shaver!

Key Takeaways: The Highs And Lows Of Using Freebird Shaver

Positives 

• The blades are comfortable and safe on scalp
• Shaves are extremely close
• The handle provides an incredible control time and comfort with its rubberized grip
• Works well on damp and dry hair

Negatives

• Results take time due to the compact structure of the rotary shaving head

Efficiency And Outcome

Since the efficiency of Freebird was only shaped by its motor and shaving elements, I will only be basing this area on the former pair. If you’re in a rush, however, know that the outcome is fruitful, with a few drawbacks.

The shaving results are impressive, and extremely close thanks to the minimal spacing engraved between each floating head. ScalpSafe technology also tends to come in clutch during this portion, causing zero tugging and pulling during the session.

What’s also impressive is the timeframe, which is single handedly carried by motor power and Freebird shaver’s ability of covering 8,500 RPM in a jiffy.

And though moving in circular motion is the way to go on the scalp, swiping in one direction generates the same results, in my opinion. The rotary heads move like butter, despite being a letdown in a few ways.

The 5-way shaving head does generate hairless results, but covers less ground than the 4-way shaving systems of Remington Balder Pro, as well as a few of the Pitbull Skull Shaver models.

The culprit is the structure of the shaving head, which is significantly smaller than the series of models mentioned previously.

Don’t be disheartened, as the results are expected to remain presentable, especially if your hair is as fine and soft as mine. The Freebird shaver does struggle to wipe away coarse hair at once, so be prepared to swipe multiple times if you’ve been blessed with a full head of hair!

Ease Of Use

Upon first glance, the Freebird shaver seemed too bulky to provide any form of comfort, which is why the bar I set was relatively low. However, the ergonomic build isn’t just a perfect fit for my palm, but also is a winner in terms of comfort.

The no-slip rubber grip really makes the device easy to navigate, regardless of which area of the scalp is being shaved. The lightweight housing also eliminates any chance of fatigue, and feels like a feather in my hand, no matter how long I’ve used the shaver for.

As stated earlier, I used the 2 finger maneuver when putting the Freebird shaver to the test, as it enabled me to shave closer around the temple of my scalp. If you’re working with the upper half of your scalp, take support from the firm base and the rubberized grip to maximise the success rate!

Wet Shaving Capabilities

Since Freebird alleges that the 5-blade rotary shaver is a two-in-one tool that accommodates wet and dry shaves, I also assessed that element; a move that humbled me immensely.

While its dry shaving capabilities left me impressed, what really had me out of my seat was how well the Freebird shaver performs in the shower, especially when the hair is partially damp.

Sure, the chamber of the tool does accumulate more hair than the average head shaver due to having a narrow structure, but removes volumes of hair at once.

Still, I would recommend you use Freebird to partake in dry shaves, as the aftermath is less hectic that way.

Once again, I would suggest you use shaving gel or foam if your scalp is prone to acne and irritation.

Adaptability To Facial Hair

Since the rotary system of Freebird is hardly any different from that used by some of the best models of the Philips Norelco Series, the head shaver has a great reputation of acting as a beard trimmer during emergencies.

However, upon further inspection, I’ve realized that the Freebird can easily act as a primary shaver for the face, even more so with the super sensitive flooring it engraves on each floating head.

As the rotary shaver is used to cutting coarse pieces of hair, the Freebird shaver effortlessly wiped away my facial hair to form smooth and glowing skin. While the time frame is subjective, it took the head shaver around 3 minutes to clear out my 3-day stubble!

Just like any other rotary shaver, I suggest you move the Freebird shaver in a circular motion for maximum success. Tuck your chin to get rid of the stubborn pieces from that area.

Sound Check

While insignificant in the grand scheme of things, the noise level of shaving tools matter tremendously, especially if your ears are as noise sensitive as mine.

And though Freebird shaver isn’t as quiet as most silent-operating ball trimmers such as Meridian, it’s not the loudest from the list of head shavers, generating a sound level between 79 to 90 dB respectively.

If you feel uncomfortable, consider wearing earplugs to ensure your head stays in the game!

How To Use Freebird’s Head Shaver: A Quick And Easy Guide For All!

Since head shavers are based with rotary blades, the recommended maneuver to implement is similar to using electric shavers with rotary systems, such as Philips Norelco 7000.

However, different areas require different methods. Likewise, if you’re eager to discover the best possible way to use Freebird’s head shaver to find success from every angle on the scalp and in your face, this guide of mine will be of great help!

For Head Shaving

One thing you have to assure before letting Freebird’s head shaver take care of business is to wash your hair, as failing to do so might expose you to unwanted errors, and ultimately, a traumatic experience.

On the contrary, if you’ve already checked the former box, know that using the Freebird is as easy as pie when partaking in head shaving.

Although it might get a little messy, rotating the floating heads in a circular motion is what I find to be the more effective technique on the scalp, unless you’re working with fine hair.

When working with fine hair, you may either pursue the former notion, or allow the device to move in a straight-cut direction to generate the same results. However, for thicker strands, it’d be best to use a hair clipper beforehand, just to ensure your buzz cut is of the right length.

Washing before and after the shaving session is compulsory in any case. Therefore, unless you’re only cleaning your sideburns, be sure to clean your hair once again before concluding the session.

I’ve used the scalp scrubber and exfoliator of the Flex Series multiple times during the clean-up process, which is something I would advise if you prioritize scalp health like I do.

For Beard Trimming

Though Freebird’s head shaver is a great companion for shaving the face, you might want to invest in other shavers for razor-like results, as rotary shavers similar to Freebird’s representative choose comfort over closeness.

In addition, a long beard trimmer can also be helpful in this regard, especially if the length of your beard is too overgrown for your Freebird shaver to handle.

Ensuring your face is clean before using the razor is mandatory, so be sure to use face wash prior to allowing the shaver to take the lead.

Instead of moving in a circular motion, press the shaving head towards your face to maximize the success rate of the session. You may also pull your skin and stretch it out if you’re attempting to obtain hairless results.

As always, establishing a safe environment for your skin should be the priority. And though ScalpSafe technology will be of great help, use shaving foam if your skin is sensitive, and aftershave before wrapping things up.

Maintenance Of Freebird Shaver: A Hectic Procedure With A Promising Alternative

The results of using Freebird’s head shaver blew me away once I was able to acknowledge the closeness of each shave that it accommodates. However, I’m still not the biggest fan of its clean-up process, which isn’t a bit hectic in contrast to the average cleaning routine.

As opposed to having a cleaning chamber that covers the whole circumference of all five rotary heads, the Freebird shaver carries a separate chamber for each blade, which is hectic if you follow a one-at-a-time method.

Luckily, you can still open all the blades together by pressing the textured pattern around the base of each head.

Upon unveiling the chamber, rinse the device in water for a quick clean, and use a small cleaning brush to dig deeper and remove any hidden piece of hair trapped in any chamber.

Alternative Method: For Deep Cleaning After A Wet Shave

The former procedure may be followed if you’re partaking in either a wet or dry shave without additional agents. However, if you’re planning to use shaving foam every step of the way, the cleanup process needs to be a bit more thorough.

In addition to rinsing the chamber as well as brushing the insides of each floating head, you may dilute the chamber into a solution made of soap and water. The soap will wipe away any remaining build-up, and erase any form of gunk that tends to be formed by shaving foam.

I often use ¼ cup of water and a tablespoon of hand soap before stirring it to form the solution, but you may increase the portion of both depending on how much you use the head shaver.

Letting it air dry is not a bad idea, but be sure to wipe away any splash of water on the surface of the shaver’s handle, even though it is waterproof.

Freebird vs. Pitbull vs. Groomie: What Makes Freebird The Better Pick?

If you’ve recently discovered head shavers, know that there’s an intense ongoing rivalry between Freebird, formerly known as Freedom Grooming and Pitbull, two of the leading frontrunners in the scene.

Many often give the crown to either of the two, regarding both head shavers as recipes for success.

Moving on, an upcoming candidate that recently broke through the scene is the Groome BaldiePRO, which, while new, is one of the most useful head shavers to try out for its tech-savvy properties.

However, since there can only be one winner in my books, here’s a thorough assessment of all three, how well they hold up against one another, and my two cents on each key feature of the head shavers.

Shaving Elements	5-rotary blades	4 floating heads	5-D Flex Head
Weight	5.5 ounces	32 ounces	9.6 ounces
Battery Life	90 minutes	90 minutes	-
Waterproof	Yes	IPX5	IPX5
Travel Lock	No	No	Yes
Ideal For	Coarse to thin hair	Coarse to thin hair	Normal to thin hair

Blade System

Many believe that Pitbull’s Skull Shaver series is a banger for the rotary system it has, which contains either the Carver PRO or the Forte PRO to establish a successful outcome.

The Forte PRO blade of the Gold PRO isn’t as decorated as the Carver PRO, but is wide enough to cover more ground than Groomie and Freebird, making it better for saving time.

As stated earlier, the selling point of the Freebird’s rotary shaver is the compact nature of it, as well as the safety it establishes with ScalpSafe technology. In retrospect, I believe that the blade system, despite shaving less than the Gold PRO, is perfect for those with damage-prone scalp.

If you’d like to take an unorthodox approach and go for Groomie, I suggest you think again. Don’t let the similar build of its rotary shaver fool you, as the blades of Groomie can expose you to nicks and irritation, unlike Freebird.

Shaving Closeness

In terms of closeness, the Pitbull Gold PRO performs rather well. However, keep in mind that it may struggle to generate a clean shave on a length larger than 1mm hair, despite coming really close.

I’ll give Pitbull a pass on this one, though, as the manufacturers themselves proclaimed that the device works best on 0.4mm hair.

The closeness of Freebird is as hairless as they come, thanks to the stiffness of the blades. Despite testing it out on the pieces of hair I have, Freebird’s head shaver produced clean results, which I believe only arrived due to the incredible motor of the rotary shaver.

And since Freebird is as humble as it gets, let me tell you that this shaver works really well on coarse hair! Just be sure to detangle the pieces beforehand for an easygoing session.

Once again, the quality of Groomie was in question, but this time due to the closeness it provided. The rotary shaver struggled tremendously to travel from coast to coast, and even left behind unshaved strands to increase my disdain towards the head shaver.

Hardware And Craftsmanship

Before I compare the trio against one another, know that all three can be great investments if you’re seeking lightweight properties, as each device is fused with ergonomic materials on the inside. All three are also great head shavers you can go overseas with.

Groomie has a tapered base that secures tight grips. But it also has an LCD system underneath the rotary head which delivers the battery life through numbers. I’m mostly fond of the travel lock feature, which appears to be a no-show on both Pitbull and Freebird. It’s easy to put it to use as well, since all you have to do is press the power button for 3 seconds.

Coming up next is Pitbull and its Gold PRO model, which not only blows me away with its superior handle and chrome paint job, but also flatters me with its LCD display, which is an easier find than that of the Groomie due to being situated at the base of the handle.

And though Groomie remains more sound in terms of technicalities, the Freebird’s sturdy build is what I really adore. Sure, leaving out a display for the battery was no short of a crime, but what isn’t is the no-slip grip, and the comfort Freebird’s shaver provides with the lightest materials known to mankind!

Response To Wet/Dry Shaving

I’ve already mentioned how well the Freebird shaver responds to both wet and dry shaving, maximizing protection and control with its no-slip rubber grip, and waterproof housing. However, as far as the label goes, there appears to be very little information to recognize the kind of waterproof housing that the head shaver provides.

The Groomie appears to be the best in this element, securing a IPX7 build to shrug off any water damage during use. Since the device is so secure in its abilities of being a wet shaver, I believe that Groomie is a guaranteed recipe for success for those preferring damp shaving sessions over dry shaves.

Settling for silver is the Gold PRO, which has been housed with IPX5 properties. The device might be in between first and third in this scenario, but is the better purchase than Groomie if you’re seeking a long-term solution.

Battery Life

The battery life of a head shaver shouldn’t matter if you’re using the device to give yourself a quick cleanup before a date. However, in the grand scheme of things, having a head shaver with a good runtime can come in handy during travel.

If you prioritize battery health, perhaps you should take a look at Pitbull Gold PRO, which claims to provide a 90-minute operation time at its peak; a remark that I can verify.

What I can’t side with, though, is Freebird and its claim of having a runtime of 90 minutes, as it is anything but true. In reality, the Freebird shaver served me and my hair for 60 minutes at best, which is still miles better if you take into account the Pitbull Skull Shaver Silver PRO and its runtime of 30 minutes.

Groomie offers a generous runtime that doesn’t cross the hour mark, but settles for a duration of 50 minutes, proving to be the underdog in this regard. This further increases the disdain I have towards Groomie Club, as it claims to have a battery life of 90 minutes!

Bottom Line: Freebird vs. Pitbull vs. Groomie

I’ll try and sum this up quickly, but you should only invest in Groomie if you’d like the comfort of having a travel-equipped head shaver, as it’s the only head shaver that offers a travel lock feature.

However, if you’re okay with packing your head shaver in a pouch and leaving the rest to God, your pick should remain between Freebird’s 5-blade head shaver and Skull Shaver Gold PRO.

While the Gold PRO is more reliable with its battery life, and its gigantic Forte PRO rotary blades that save time in the long run, shaves are closer and more thorough with the Freebird head shaver, which, in my eyes, is the winner in this affair.

What really has me sold is the ultimate grip it provides, which stands tall even when drenched in substantial amounts of water. Of course I’ll give credit to all the accessories, which provide a better physical glow overall, alongside making me feel well-groomed.

Frequently Asked Question

Once you have Freebird’s Flex Series Shaving Kit, particularly its head shaver, in your arsenal, I guarantee you won’t ever go back to your previous tool.

There are certain things you should know before investing in the tool, however, which is exactly what the following questionnaire covers!

Q: Can Freebird be used as a head and face shaver?

Ans: Though each floating head is plated with ScalpSafe technology, Freebird qualifies as both a head and face shaver in my eyes, having the perfect build to ensure comfort when shaving facial hair.

The grip, alongside the motor power of the device can create close shaves in quick succession, especially if the skin is pulled and outstretched.

Q: How long does the blade system of Freebird last?

Ans: Freebird’s blade system reminds me of Pitbull SilverPRO’s Carver PRO in terms of longevity, and has been rather fresh, although it’s been months since its purchase.

However, I would suggest you have it replaced as soon as the 12-month mark makes its way, opting for an earlier switch if the blades show signs of ring rust and inconsistency.

Final Takeaway

This guide strictly covers a review of Freebird’s 5-blade head shaver, where each thought is based on my experience with the head shaver. Although the approach I took is one that many might refer to as unorthodox, I believe that shaving the sides with the rotary system was just as, if not, more effective than shaving the top of my scalp.

When push comes to shove, if you go for Freebird’s head shaver, you must invest in the Flex Series Shaving Kit, which provides all the necessities to give your head and face a much needed glow, including a scalp scrub and exfoliator for easy going maintenance.

Believe it or not, I would blindly pick the Freebird head shaver over Pitbull’s Gold PRO any day, even though the latter might save more time.
