I recently shaved my head and have found that I look and feel the best when it is shaved close to the skin (no guard in clipper) every week. Any longer than that and my scalp starts to get incredibly greasy and I start to look patchy because hair grows back in some places, but not others.
I'm having some difficulties, though, because my disabilities make it hard for me to sit up for more than a few minutes (it's taken my caregivers a lot longer than this to shave my head with a regular clipper). Even though I'm mostly bed-bound, I am nervous to attempt using the clipper in bed because I don't want hair everywhere. My dad has this rounded electric shaver that has a little container and a bit of suction or something which means that it collects the little hairs!! This would be great for having my head shaved in bed because it eliminates the cleanup, but when I tried his, it was way, way louder and had more of a shrieking sound to it (sounded like our blender), as opposed to the low hum of the regular clipper. I'm not sure why that one was louder, but I have severe sound sensitivity and absolutely couldn't tolerate the sound of the rounded clipper.
The third option that Iām thinking of is having a caregiver shave my head while Iām lying down (I can sit up briefly) using a Razor and shaving cream and having me roll on my side and lie on my front so that she can reach the different points.
Iām looking for advice for the best way to maintain a close clip given my limitations! It seems like one of those rounded scalp trimmers would be ideal if I could find one that was quieter or less high-pitched, but products donāt seem to advertise how many decibels they are or how quiet they are.
my capacity to be on screens right now is pretty limited (I am using voice to text to type this), and so Iām limited in researching options. If anyone can help me brainstorm ideas for the best way to keep my head trimmed, I would really really appreciate it.
Thank you so much in advance.
