Our verdict

The Pitbull Gold PRO is designed around one observation: you shave your own head by feel, at angles a face shaver never meets. Its palm grip and four floating rotary heads make the crown and back of the head a short, calm job, and 90 minutes of battery means charging is a monthly event. It is a specialist, priced like one, with proprietary heads as the running cost.

What we like

  • Patented ergonomic handle fits the palm for reaching the back and crown of your own head
  • Four floating Forte PRO rotary heads in stainless steel flex across scalp contours
  • 1400 mAh battery runs about 90 minutes cordless, with an LED battery display
  • IPX5 water resistance for wet or dry shaving, and a travel pouch is included

What to watch out for

  • Replacement Forte PRO heads are proprietary and an ongoing cost
  • Rotary closeness on the face trails the flagship foil shavers
  • Warranty support centers on the motor and handle; blade heads are treated as consumables

What owners report: Skull Shaver Pitbull Gold PRO

Synthesized from recurring themes in long-term owner feedback.

Most praised

  • The palm grip makes the back of the head reachable without awkward mirror work
  • Ninety minutes of runtime covers weeks of head shaves between charges
  • Shaving in the shower keeps clippings contained and cleanup down to a rinse

Common complaints

  • Replacement heads are proprietary and priced like it
  • Some owners report noise or battery trouble developing as the unit ages
  • It is a specialist tool, and face shavers still reach for a second shaver for detail work

Who it is for

Men who shave their heads several times a week and want a dedicated tool shaped for the job.

The grip is the invention

Instead of a handle you hold like a toothbrush, the Pitbull body sits in the palm with the heads facing down, so your hand follows the skull the way it would if you were rubbing it. Reaching the crown and the back, the zones owners miss with adapted face shavers, stops requiring a second mirror and a bent wrist.

Heads, battery, and shower use

Four Forte PRO rotary heads float independently across bumps and the curve behind the ears, and the clippings collect inside the head assembly for a rinse-out clean. The 1400 mAh battery is rated for about 90 minutes, the LED display shows the remaining level numerically, and IPX5 resistance allows shaving with gel in the shower.

Ownership realities

Forte PRO replacement heads are the consumable, and they are proprietary Skull Shaver parts at specialist prices. Owner reports include units developing noise or battery issues with age, and warranty help centers on the motor and handle rather than the blade heads. Budget the head replacements into the comparison and the Pitbull still earns its place for daily head shavers.

Questions, answered

How close does the Pitbull Gold PRO shave?

Close for a rotary: smooth to the touch in most areas, a step behind a fresh foil or blade finish. Most head shavers trade that last degree of closeness for speed and zero nicks.

How long does the battery last in practice?

The 1400 mAh battery is rated at about 90 minutes of shaving, which for a five-minute head shave means weeks between charges. The LED display shows the remaining percentage so a flat battery never surprises mid shave.

Can it shave a face too?

It is sold as a head and face shaver, and the rotary heads handle cheeks and jaw adequately. Detail work around a beard line is clumsier than with a conventional shaver, so beard keepers usually pair it with a trimmer.
