Why Shaving Your Head Can Be a Game-Changer

Baldly go where lots of men have gone before.

Balding is way more common than you might think. In fact, 66% of men show signs of balding by age 35.

Making the decision to shave your head can be a game-changer. You can make the choice to take back control of your life, your confidence, your style. Being bald is liberating.

I was going bald for about 12 years, always was ashamed and wearing hats. Once I finally got up enough courage, I just took it all off. I can honestly say it's the best thing I ever did. My confidence shot up and I felt like a new person. I've had so many compliments from complete strangers it's ludicrous! If anyone is on the fence about it, just shave the dang dome! – Josh F.

What Did Guys Who Shave Their Heads Really Need?

Gillette baldly is the first Gillette razor designed specifically for head-shaving. We sat down with guys who shaved their heads and learned what they wanted and needed in a razor. We listened. We heard their concerns and their frustrations.

They wanted a razor that didn’t leave them with nicks and cuts or irritation. Guys struggled changing their grip during head-shaving with traditionally skinny handles. And they didn’t have time for a razor they needed to rinse again and again.

So, Gillette designed baldly’s ergonomic handle to be shorter and wider than our typical razor, for better control and maneuverability. The offset grip pattern provides a secure grip, wet or dry. The 3D motion FlexBall technology responds to the contours and curved areas of your head—making "hard-to-reach areas" easy to shave.

And that’s why we used the SkinGuard cartridge for the baldly Razor. The SkinGuard technology creates a bridge between the blades to guard skin from shaving irritation and the lubrication before and after the blades protects sensitive skin. SkinGuard’s unique two-blade design makes rinsing a breeze, and the single precision trimmer on the back of the cartridge helps reach tricky spots.
