Is this safety razor light enough to both shave head and face,and especially for those with sensitive skin such as I am who prone to get ingrown hairs

I use it with both face and head. It is an excellent razor. Use a good shaving cream and a good DE blade. You may need to experiment. I am using Feather DE blades and Nivea shave cream in a tube which I lather up using a brush. Don't press down with the razor, let the razor do the work and go slow while learning. I get a great shave and no ingrown hairs.

My husband said yes he thinks it is. It is heavier than a plastic razor. But does a great job.

Yes; when used properly it's the closest you can get to using a razor. Without irritating your skin. In my opinion of course

My husband has used this particular model for several years, with no issues with his face. By head, if you mean actually keeping your head shaved, I'd not be able to provide input for that. The razor does come with 3 different foil screen selections, so perhaps the "sensitive" screen would suit your purpose, but I would not be able to say with certainty.

Have no idea about the head, I have a heavy beard and this razor when fully charged cuts clean and smooth. I put it on the charger once a week and that seems to work well.

Hello JJI. I have been meaning to respond to your post and used my braun 9595 for the 2nd time only today. I'm a doctor and appreciate your concern which is genuine and as you explain, far from ideal to end up with hairs in your trachy site. Unfortunately, I think you're safer staying away from this shaver for your particular concern since there was a considerable amount of small hairs that fell during my shave today. I could clearly see those hairs in the sink and since they fall out dry, they are more difficult to extract and clean. I don't know if you currently shave with 'wet' razors, but I would imagine that is the safest and cleanest way to shave around the area. Dry hairs tend to be problematic to remove and most likely to elicit the undesired inflammatory reactions although less likely obstruct the area due to their minute size. This shaver does not have a vacuum system and I don't know how it compares to others since this is my first electric shaver. Also, I can't even comment on the quality of shave at this very early stage yet but I'll leave a review in due course. I hope this is useful but please accept this at face value as my opinion only from what I've experienced personally so far. Its worth mentioning that my stubble is slightly thicker than your average stubble. All the best.

I think it may depend on how long you want it to work well--facial hair is tougher on blades than the rest of your body hair is, so you'll just dull the blade extra fast. There are plenty of shavers made for facial and head hair if that's what you're looking for, and I think they'll do a better job for you.

I would not use this for shaving your head. Your skull has a lot more hard surfaces than your face and neck which makes it very easy to cut yourself. As far as replacement razors go, I have found them cheapest on Amazon. Good luck man!

I would honestly say this is a very versatile razor. It has 6 settings of adjustment so you can find your happy point of adjustment of how much razor blade is sticking out. I also use this wonderful razor to shave my head and face. I have sensative face skin and this razor treats my skin very well.

I never have any trouble using the sideburn trimmer and seeing what I am doing. The trimmer is also good for hairs that the shaver skipped over a day or two before.

Remembering that this is a travel shaver or for a quick shave on the go, I think the Braun is terrific for mustache, beard and sideburn trims. I use a razor to supplement when I want a real close shave. I have purchased three of these Brauns already, one as a gift and one as a backup...but still getting good use from the original after two years of frequent usage.

So much smoother and closer shave compared to a safety razor. Also, you can go as fast as you wish and even against the grain without any type of "burn" or irritation. I've also gone over two weeks on the same blade and it still feels like the first shave.

I have found it does well in tight places.It is so light you can pick it up and put it where you want IF need be. Shave had mine for a year and have no complaints.

I would not suggest using this model, it has the cheaper blades, thus would not be good for sensitive skin. Find the model that has the "holes" in the blade cover.

To be honest Nick, I am not sure what you mean. I am new to safety razor shaving. When I get home tonight I will upload a photo for you.

I have not used the razor for my head. However I think there are razor, both electric and manual, that are made for this purpose

Razor works great on face and neck. I used it on longer hair on the back of my neck recently so I think it may work well on your head. Give it a shot. Worse case return it.

Nope. It's not a shaver, it's a very close trimmer. I own one and reviewed it above. It gets really really close, but a razor would get closer and in some of the areas this is designed for, that would you're likely to end up bloody if you're not extremely careful.
