Then I moved to the Panasonic Arc 4 that I used for many years and that shaver is still working very well, I gave it to my father and he is happy with it. I think the choice should be between the Panasonic shavers or the BaBylissPRO. I think the latter has a slight advantage when it comes to the closeness of a dry shave and the fantastic battery life, but for everything else (comfort, versatility, speed, wet/dry use), the Panasonic shavers have the edge.

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. Tip: if you’re a barber, get the Andis ProFoil Plus Titanium (17200) instead of the regular ProFoil. It has a very grippy rubber sleeve and a handy charging stand and costs only slightly more. Last year the first white hairs started to grow on my face and I decided to stop styling a beard. I don’t know how it’s gonna be by the age of 40, but by now I tend to prefer to look younger and those white hairs that just appered last year don’t look well.While I’ve never been able to completely drain the battery as I prefer to always have at least 30% of charge in my shavers, I think the 3 hours claim is pretty much on point. Both Wahl and Andis have moved on with better foil shaving products, however. Similar to what they’ve done with their adjustable clipper lines. Battery-wise, performance-wise and just all around, the #8061 shaver is old news.

But if you’re looking for a shaver to work with stubble and you don’t like using razors, then a foil shaveris your best bet. The Wahl Finale is one of the top options, and you should consider it thoroughly. It has a 90 minute battery life, which is enough for most people even if you’re often travelling without the charger. This gives it a premium look and feel and sets it apart from the other two similar shavers mentioned above. Now they are equipped with Li-ion batteries, which allow for an hour of continuous shaving and of course offer greater performance than Ni-Cad batteries.Reasonable care and maintenance will give you a comfortable and razor bump-free shaving experience. If that’s not an option, definitely consider an electric shaver that fares better with longer/flat-lying hairs. Noise It’s the same with rotary head shavers like the Balder Pro or the Skull Shaver Pitbull. Cleaning and maintenance Wahl has established itself as one of the top clipper manufacturers in North America. Established 100 years ago and based out of Illinois, they are most famous for producing an array of hair clippers including their renowned Balding Clippers line. The internationally recognized brand is most commonly found among buyers looking for a high-quality product at a reasonable price point. If you want something that is lightweight, then you’ll undoubtedly want to opt for the Andis Profoil. It weighs significantly less than the Wahl Finale, so if you need something lightweight and portable then you’ll want to consider the Profoil as your shaver of choice.

And speaking of it, the foils get warm after a longer session but not to the point of becoming uncomfortable (that might change as the foils and blades wear out). My first sahver was a Philips Norelco, it was not the best but it was enough for my first years of growing a beard. By the time I rember that I tried one of these barber style shaver and it was much closer the shave than the obtained with the Norelco, but the fouls didn’t last long enough. 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. If you want to avoid irritation while shaving, go for the Finale. While the Profoil might cause some irritation, the Finale is designed specifically to prevent it. Sensitive skin is one of the most common issues when it comes to shaving – probably because of how many people suffer from razor bumps – so if you’re prone to this type of irritation while shaving, having the right equipment becomes a necessity. When using the Finale, only the lightest pressure is needed for the ultimate super close cut and bump-free shave.Unfortunately, the BaBylissPRO FOILFX02 is not waterproof, so we’ll have to alter our usual cleaning routine. Andis and Wahl shaver are two brands recognized for their contribution to hair care products. You may have heard of either one before if you’ve ever considered buying a shaver. The Series 9 Pro is by far the most enjoyable to use and will also be the fastest (the time it takes to complete a head shave) because the cutting elements have a greater range of motion and the flexing of the head really helps. This is ideal when shaving a spherical and bony surface like the skull. That said, the weakness of this shaver is the closeness. Don’t get me wrong, it’s still adequate and good enough for most, but the other ones will shave a bit closer which I understand is the most important aspect for you. Lubricating the cutters (with clipper oil or a spray lubricant) will be beneficial and also reduce the wear and the heat. Then again, none of the other professional double foil shavers are waterproof. Build quality and ergonomics
