Babyliss Pro Titanium Foil Shaver Cordless/Ultra-Close

Product Information

The manufacturer used Titanium coated hypoallergenic gold foils on the shaver head for skin-friendly and irritation-free shaving results. Granted, using a quality shaving cream will give the above-mentioned Panasonic razors the edge, but for shaving dry, I actually think the BaBylissPRO is at least as good in terms of closeness.

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). By far the most remarkable aspect of this BaBylissPRO double foil shaver (and the main reason to buy it) has to be the closeness. Philips Norelco’s older models that use the so-called Lift&Cut blades are notorious for doing that.

Can I use a foil shaver to shave my head?

One of the reasons why I managed to get such a close shave is that the FOILFX02 is also reasonably comfortable. And even if you’re out of battery mid-session, you can continue using the shaver with the cord plugged in. Beyond long-time cordless performance, the Babyliss Pro shaver offers you to use the shaver with the cord while charging.

Also, one week between shaves is really a lot, so my advice would be to try and reduce that by a few days if the shave doesn’t go as smooth. Foil shavers also require a bit of a different technique (short, controlled, straight strokes against the grain), so it may take a bit until he gets the best results.The powerful rotary motor and the powerful battery are really appreciable that can provide professional-grade precision shaving. 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. Babyliss used double foil cutters on the shaving head for extra duty of shaving operation to reduce shaving time. The manufacturer also recommends charging the battery for 3 hours before using the shaver for the first time. That said, even if it’s more comfortable than its main competitors from Andis and Wahl, I wouldn’t say the FOILFX02 is suitable for users with sensitive skin.
