Product Information

You’ll be better off with a Braun shaver even if it means trading off a bit of closeness. Shaving longer facial hair As long as you don’t press the foils too hard into the skin, most users should be perfectly fine shaving with it. Most of it remains trapped inside the foil head, but quite a bit ends up on your forearm and on the outside of the shaver as well.

Then again, none of the other professional double foil shavers are waterproof. Build quality and ergonomics The very thin foils, along with the powerful motor and the tight tolerance between the cutters and the foils allow it to cut the hair really close to the skin. As I’ve mentioned earlier, using a good pre-shave lotion will make this shaver even more comfortable and more effective at cutting the hairs with fewer strokes. The reliability of the foils also seems to be better compared to Wahl which is notorious for having brittle foils, but that remains to be seen as I continue using it. The carrying pouch is textile and it’s only good enough to prevent scratches, smudges and dust from covering the shiny metal shaver.We love that this Clipper offers the holy trinity: performance, resilience, and style. We appreciate the BaByliss Pro FX’s lightweight design and portability, perfect for men on the move. The Pro FX’s extended battery life warrants prolonged use for home barbers, professionals, and travelers who don’t have time to charge between every cut.

By far the most remarkable aspect of this BaBylissPRO double foil shaver (and the main reason to buy it) has to be the closeness.

One of the reasons why I managed to get such a close shave is that the FOILFX02 is also reasonably comfortable. I’ve been cutting my hair myself for the past couple of years and I’ve used a variety of foil shavers to get a clean skin fade.In case of the Arc 5 and 6, you can also shave wet which can improve the closeness even more and make them more comfortable. I find them not quite as forgiving as the S9 Pro, but still more comfortable than the BaBylissPRO FOILFX02 when used dry. So if you have a sensitive scalp, going for an Arc 5 or 6 and a quality shaving cream could be a good option. Also, I’m able to finish a session faster with the S9 Pro because it’s more forgiving (so faster strokes) and the 4 cutters are more flexible and conform easier to the shave of the head.

More ergonomic and comfortable in your hands than any other clipper of its category with a little groove under the blade for your finger and a thumb rest located on the front of the clipper.Titanium Carbon-Nitride Blade: The deep-toothed, ultra-thin blade warrants precision and delivers a neat finish every time. Its titanium carbon-nitride coating is ultra-sharp and wear-resistant. The blade is zero-gap, ideal for gents with shorter haircut numbers who want a fresh fade. Guide Combs: The Pro FX3 offers eight comb attachments, covering various cuts and lengths. This is particularly useful for experiential home groomers or barbers with a varied arsenal of cuts. If you push the power button all the way down it’s the off position. As you go up, this is first going to be your 6 000 rpm speed and the next level up your 7 000 rpm speed. But why would you use one over the other? In conclusion, the BaBylissPRO FOILFX02 scores really high in the battery life department with a very solid 3-hour runtime and the ability to use the shaver with the cord plugged in. Shaving performance And that’s because the cutters rub right against the foils for that really close shave and the foils themselves are very thin, so they’ll wear out faster.
