Micro Touch Titanium Head And Face Shaver, Rechargeable

 Just bouth this shaver after having an issue with my previous and famous Skull Shaver (noise related problem), so far the Microtouch Head Shaver is doing very good, not awesome, not super great, the cutting depth by comparing this other previous shaver is not as short and smooth as the Skull Shaver.
No nicks or irritation when using the Microtouch (very important), I am currently using it every day in the last 4 days and its been perfect (maybe the reason why with the Skull Shaver I had a little bit of irritation, because it cut deeper? probably)
Ok, so now, another important factor for me, what about battery life after a full charge?
The Skull shaver say 90min battery life, the Microtouch? nobody know and this information you will NOT find it anywhere. Did open a support ticket before buying and support states that it should be between 80min-120min after full charge, so, I am currently proving this statement, already used it 4 days, around 3 min each use, totalling 12min at the moment. I will post another update when the battery runoff. I did create a excel table with the amount of times I use (minutes), I will use the Microtouch 2 times a day to try to get to finish the battery as fast as possible.
But the question I am asking myself, if they are stating 80-120min battery life via a support ticket, why they are NOT posting this so important and valuable information in their webpage? Time will tell and hopefully is the truth because so far I like the Microtouch Head Shaver and I dont like to be deceived with lies and bad advertizement. If my battery longetivity test is less than 60min (this is my minimum acceptable value) I will return the shaver and buy back another Skull Shaver that lasted me a full 90min.
Another good think is the price, its about the same as other some famous brands out there and almost half the price than the Skull Shaver, so this is a very good think.

2 WEEKS UPDATE
Changing from 3 to 4 stars, can it reach the 5 starts?, so far the shaver have been very good, always use in dry skin so i cannot comment on wet shave but will test and update my comments in the next 2 weeks.
My shaves still 3 min long, sometimes 4 just to push the limit of the battery, used for 60min since my first initial charge, cleaned like only 2 times to also push the limits of how it will work under a dirty environment, and so far is great.
I have very sensitive skin but still no nicks or irritation and in the first week I used after shave after every head shave, but now i am not using that much after shave and I am even putting more down pressure to have a better shave and believe me that is doing great with veeeeery smooth results.

3 WEEKS UPDATE (LAST ONE)
As promised, did a spreadsheet of use vs battery consumption, Microtouch support stated 80-120min but my test was the following.
Powered ON-OFF a total of 24 times with some 2min shaving and some 4 min shaving. the low battery led started at minute 58 and it died at minute 76. As stated above i was going to be happy if this lasted 60min and it did, but was not what Microtouch Support said, that is why i will leave this review on 4 star.
Never used it wet, so i cannot share my comments here.

Posting a video after two days of letting my hair grow, you decide if you consider this a close shave, I am more than happy of its results.

The Microtouch Titanium Head Shaver is one great piece of grooming gear. I expected this product to work, but not very well since I have had bad experiences with other similar gear. But I was getting fleeced at my barber for head shaves every couple of weeks. So, I decided, “what the heck, I’ll give this one a try.” WOW, was I ever surprised! This thing not only worked, it gave me a better head shave than my barber, and he uses a hot towel, shave butter, and a straight razor! I’m so glad I don’t have to go and spend money on head shaves any more! And I can “touch up” at home any time I want! As a result of my satisfaction with this product, I purchased the Microtouch Titanium Max, the nose, ear and touch-up trimmer. These products are on a another level! These aren’t the similar but cheap products you see (and have probably purchased) at some store. I recommend both products 100%!

NOTES:
(1) Just because you still have some stubble left, doesn’t mean you didn’t get a close shave. Take a look at your head in a well-lit room…I still have some stubble left over, but the light reflects off my head like I had removed ALL the hair. No one looking at you would ever suspect you still had some stubble left over, and wouldn’t care if you did! So what if it snags your T-shirts when you slip one over your head? Who cares? That still happened to me after a straight-razor shave at the barber! If you’re still not satisfied, then…guess what? You’re never going to be happy with ANY head shaver. Sorry.
(2) Slow down! Sure, you can shave your entire head in five minutes with this product. That doesn’t mean you should. Exercise a bit more care by shaving a little slower. You wouldn’t try to set a speed record shaving your face with a straight razor, would you? Six or seven or eight minutes is still a lot better than fifteen minutes with another product.
(3) Use circular strokes as you shave with this product…clockwise AND counterclockwise. That way, you’ll do the “with the grain,” “cross-grain,” and “against the grain” strokes just like you would with a razor on your face. Go look at the YouTube channels hosted by “professional shavers” and watch how they shave. The good ones do THREE passes on their faces. Why? Because if they didn’t, they’d still have stubble. No two men are going to have the same grain pattern on their faces OR heads! Heck, the hair on my neck grows in FOUR different directions! Start your circular strokes on one side of your head, low, just above the ear (like the guy in the video). Start towards the front of your head, doing clockwise strokes and slowly move toward the back of your head. Then reverse directions (slowly moving toward the front of your head)…only this time doing counterclockwise strokes. Let’s call this a “path.” Then do the same thing, only higher on your head (closer to the middle of your head). Repeat. If each path is of even diameters, it should only take three paths to do one entire half of your head.
(4) This product works great without water, shave cream or anything else that’s just going to clog up the blades and reduce both their effectiveness and lifespan. If you still insist on doing something extra besides shaving, then wash and towel-dry your head before shaving.
(5) If you let your hair grow out more than a quarter of an inch, knock it back a little with clippers (electric or manual) before using this product. Make sense?
(6) This is a great product, but it’s never going to be better than the person using it. If the person using it tries to be a speed demon, or doesn’t use the product with common sense, then…guess what? You’re never going to get a good shave. And remember, the Microtouch Titanium Head Shaver can shave your face, too (I think your face is part of your head, isn’t it)? It’s a good touch-up tool. I “wet shave” with a razor, but then use the Microtouch to get rid of “five o’clock shadow.”

I decided to buy one of these as getting your head done is costly. At $30 a head groom, I use this 3 times and I am in front dollar-wise. I charged it up and used it. My head was a number 3 in a buzz cut and I followed the instructions. I was done in 5 minutes doing it dry. I also followed the instructions on cleaning it and packed it away. You can also set it so it doesn’t come on accidentally. I am traveling a lot so it will be handy. If you look after the unit and clean it after use it will last even longer. The beauty is the head unit can be replaced when it goes blunt. Not sure how long that will take but I am so impressed and the Mrs loves it.

I’ve been using this shaver for 2 weeks now on my head and face and have been very satisfied with its performance. This shaver gives a closer shave than I had expected; it is comfortable to use, and it is easy to use. Over 2 weeks, the blades have not dulled at all. I do not have a reference for how long the blade should stay sharp, and would be interested in hearing from others’s experiences and expectations. I may lower my rating if I find that the blades dull quickly.

For the past 25 years, I have been utilizing clippers to maintain a low cut and using a razor when I really want to take it down as close as possible. The first time I used this shaver, my stubble was probably slightly longer than the recommended 1/16 inch length, which the instructions say is too long. The shaver had difficulty with this and required a more thorough cleaning afterward. I saw in one review that a customer had tried to shave her father’s head, whose hair was probably too long for the shaver, so they were dissatisfied with it.

As it currently stands, I use this as a dry shaver every morning, and the shaver takes the stubble down almost as close as a razor would. Using it daily makes cleaning much easier; I simply tap out the reservoir, and I do not have to take the blades apart or use the brush.
