If you rinse the foil frame under the tap, make sure to shake off the water and let it air dry detached from the shaver. There are very few electric razors that have been made with a metal casing even the most expensive Braun Series 9 has a plastic casing. After that, I remove the foil and let everything dry before using the shaver. This is only necessary when using a spray lubricant (no need to let it dry if you use clipper oil). Replacement parts availability This Andis ProFoil Lithium Plus, is an upscale version to its predecessor the ever popular TS 1. It brings with it some of the feature of the TS 1 which made it so popular among barbershops worldwide. The gold-titanium, hypoallergenic foils and the two staggered heads make for an exceptional close shave and prevent irritation of even the most sensitive skin. The battery life is nowhere near as good compared to the BaBylissPRO FOILFX02, but the ProFoil is still able to provide a respectable one hour of cordless use.

I think the manufacturer wanted to give the professionals a durable and reliable shaving tool that can handle the heaviest load. Two Cutting Elements: Let’s now see how good the BaBylissPRO FOILFX02 is in the real world. Great battery life and sturdy construction don’t really matter if it can’t provide a decent shave. Dit gaat van bekroonde originele technologieën, die creativiteit en styling stimuleren tot het maken van betrouwbare, duurzame en comfortabele PRO-tools waar je dag in dag uit op kunt vertrouwen. As long as you don’t press the foils too hard into the skin, most users should be perfectly fine shaving with it. I found your review of the FOILFX02 to be spot-on. While it wasn’t the most comfortable foil shaver (two days growth was as much pulling as I could tolerate), it DID shave as close as any blade.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. Beyond long-time cordless performance, the Babyliss Pro shaver offers you to use the shaver with the cord while charging. Wij zijn trots en vereerd om deel uit te maken van jullie community.

When blending a fade I only use the corner of the top foil, tapping lightly as the FOILFX02 will shave anything at skin level and ruin the fade. And even if you’re out of battery mid-session, you can continue using the shaver with the cord plugged in.

It comes with a protective cover that you can put onto the foils when not in use. And a single button at the side releases the heads to enable you to carry out maintenance such as cleaning, oiling or replacement of the foils and heads. If you do a lot of skin n fades in your shop, then an Andis Pro Foil is a must to have at your disposal. From its familiar rectangle body shape to the iconic triangular on off switch, this foil shaver has become a favourite with barbers the world over.

I also cut my hair myself. I started many years ago but it was until very recently during the last 2 years that I’ve been doing complex cuts. Since a powerful motor, it creates some noise during the operation but that is not unbearable. Powerful Battery:

By far the most remarkable aspect of this BaBylissPRO double foil shaver (and the main reason to buy it) has to be the closeness. Lubricating the cutters (with clipper oil or a spray lubricant) will be beneficial and also reduce the wear and the heat. The FOILFX02 is fitted with a large rechargeable NiMh battery that can provide up to 3 hours of cordless use.

It’s the same with rotary head shavers like the Balder Pro or the Skull Shaver Pitbull. Cleaning and maintenance 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.

Its ultra-thin floating foil system delivers a safe, close shave without irritating the skin. It is very comfortable to use thanks to its perfectly balanced design. Its full metal housing is elegant but not only, it is also very resistant. I recommend a clipper oil like the ones from Wahl or Oster, but any light mineral oil will work fine. I would still go with the BaBylissPRO for the more comfortable shave and larger battery, but that’s just personal preference. After a few decades of wasting money on non top-line shavers, not feeling that I needed to pay over 100eur for such a piece of not-brain-science technology, and yet ultimately throwing most out or being disappointed, after seeing this beauty at my barber shop, I decided to spend way more than I would like on a shaver that I thought - ok, finally, I won't have to waste more time on this in my life for several years. The lithium battery gives you up to 80 minutes run time from a single charge. Like most cordless machines we use in barbershops, this foil shaver can also be operated from the cable, should it run down a little.
