I recently started shaving my head, using an electric head razor with five blades. I've discovered that I like the look of my head with two or days' worth of hair growth, not completely shaven, but my razor only shaves down to the skin. A typical electric razor for beards seems like it would be impossible to shave my head with. What is a good option to keep my hair at this length?

My electric hair trimmer has several plastic spacers of various sizes that clip onto it.
But when I use the hair trimmer on my beard without any spacer, it leaves about 2 mm of stubble behind. It take a little practice to get it right without pinching your skin.
It is something similar to this one (no affiliation).
This Amazon picture from another product shows the effect after / before.

The 'posh' ones can do 0.4 - 10mm in 0.2mm increments or 2/3mm-28mm in 1mm. The comb is motorised. There's a beard version philips.co.uk/c-p/BT5515_13/… & hair version - philips.co.uk/c-p/HC5630_13/… [which is the one I have] I've never known a good one to bite, cheaper ones yes - they go straight in the bin ;)– TetsujinCommented Dec 17, 2023 at 9:25
One way can be using a comb like this while shaving:
Might be more tricky to get your head shaved by yourself, but you can always ask a friend for some help.

Remington sells a device similar to a shaver but for the head. It is available in Europe.
I have no affiliation with the product but I use it for one year and I'm pretty satisfied.

I have used electric buzz clippers once a week for many years now to accomplish the result you are looking for. I personally set the clippers (without any attachments), by moving adjustment to the farthest out setting and it seems to give me the desired outcome. Very Important To Note: Oil clippers before each use! This is key! Use wd40 or any kind of oil like it. Vegetable oil will even suffice.
