Quick answer

A quick daily rinse under warm water removes stubble and oil, while a weekly deep clean with the included brush and a rinse stand prevents clogging and bacteria buildup. For Skull Shaver models, the Platinum Rinse Stand makes daily rinsing faster and keeps your shaver ready for the next use.

Why a regular cleaning routine matters

Electric shavers trap hair, dead skin, and oil in the blades and foil. If left uncleaned, these residues dull the cutting edges, reduce suction, and can cause skin irritation. A consistent routine—daily light cleaning and a weekly deeper one—keeps the motor running smoothly and extends the shaver's lifespan. For head shavers like the Pitbull Platinum PRO, which have wider foils, debris buildup is even more noticeable.

What you need for the job

You only need a few items: a small cleaning brush (included with most Skull Shaver models), warm water, mild soap or shaving cream residue remover, and a rinse stand if you own one. The Platinum Rinse Stand is a chrome-plated water container that holds warm water so you can dunk and rinse the shaver head without splashing. Avoid using hot water or harsh chemicals, as they can damage the foil and seals.

Daily and weekly cleaning steps

  1. Daily rinse (after each use): Remove the shaver head assembly. Rinse the foil and blades under warm running water for 5–10 seconds, or dunk the head into a Platinum Rinse Stand filled with warm water. Shake off excess water. Let the shaver air-dry with the head removed. Common mistake: Rinsing with the head attached can trap water inside the motor compartment. Always detach the head first.
  2. Weekly deep clean (every 7 days): Remove the foil and cutter block. Use the included brush to gently sweep hair and dust from the cutter block, foil underside, and the shaver body. Rinse the foil and cutter under warm water with a drop of mild soap. Dry all parts thoroughly before reassembly. Checkpoint: If you see rust spots on the foil or cutter, you are not drying enough. Pat them dry with a soft cloth.
  3. Monthly lubricating (optional but recommended): After the weekly deep clean, apply one drop of clipper oil to the cutter block. Run the shaver for 10 seconds to distribute the oil. This reduces friction and keeps the blades sharp longer. Verdict: Oiling is not mandatory for daily use, but it noticeably reduces noise and pulling on longer hair.
