Many men choose to bite the bullet and shave their hair completely to offset any future thinning woes. If you are one of these men, more power to you.

What to Consider
Number of Shaving Heads
Most head shavers feature multiple razor heads to help hug the curves of your head so you can easily navigate areas that are hard to see. The multiple razor heads can also help limit cuts, as the design can help adjust to curved angles much better than a single, straight razor.
Wet/Dry Design
Almost all head shavers can be used dry, which means as long as your hair is already short enough (no more than a couple of days of growth) you can shave with no moisture or product. What's also great is that some options are waterproof, making your shaving experience in the shower a total breeze and easy to clean up. Plus, you can use most wet/dry shavers with shaving products, so if you prefer begin with a pre-shave oil to protect your scalp and then add a shaving cream or lotion to help with glide. Follow it up by rinsing the product off your head and make sure to clean any leftover product from the razor heads before you put it away.
Cordless Design
A good cordless head shaver can last up as long as 90 minutes, which means you can go a whole week without charging the battery. They also unlock the ability to shave in the shower or on the road without having to be plugged in. If you're constantly on the move and shave your head regularly, you will find that cordless options to offer lots of convenience and save even more time.
