2019-08-08, I just received this razor two days ago, so I have only used it twice. I had read other reviews regarding the fragility of the foil and various comments about the shaving experience.My experience with shaving includes wet shaving with various safety razors and blade combinations, proficiency with a straight razor that I still use from time to time, and over the years have used most every major brand of electric razor. For the past several years I have almost daily used a Braun Series 7 790cc electric razor. I really like that razor, but the cost of maintaining it and downtime when I have to send it in for repair is not enjoyable. It's just my opinion,

This is the shaver that my barber uses when I get a high skin fade, so when I went back to shaving my entire head, I wanted an electric shaver for the constant upkeep, because I have a full head of hair. I always liked how close this razor shaved when my barber used it on the sides and back so I went for it. Unbelievably close - almost as good as a blade. And it's fast and easy. Only minor quibble is that more stubble falls out than gets trapped inside the shaver, but that's minor.Also, it only works on short stubble (manual says 1/32 inch) so if you're going more than 2-3 days without a shave, this may not be the right tool. But I like to shave my head almost every day,

This achieves the closest shave I have ever had with an electric razor. It can leave the skin feeling totally smooth. It easily tackles 3 days of my fulsome growth.The battery is very powerful and there is no dip in power at all during a shave. It comes with a charging stand and it will thus always be at full power.There is nice big button to detach the head for internal cleaning.I have been using this for 2 months and there is no hint of the foil breaking.The reason is not a perfect shaver is that it has no clipper function, but I did know that in buying it. There are hairs on my face which it will not catch that shavers of my past have been able to with their clipper function.

I purchased this razor as I loved the close shave I'd get on my neck and face from my barber. I naturally thought I could use this as my main every day razor and get that all the time. Unfortunately for me it doesn't work that way but I'm guessing that is why it's clearly labeled as a "finishing tool". If my hair was even a little past the 5'oclock look it would take countless passes and that caused some irritation. So I decided to keep this and in addition purchased the Panasonic Arc 5 which takes care of quick shaving and doesn't leave any razor burn. Then I use the Wahl to straighten any lines and it finally gets that ultra smooth feel when I go over my face after using the Arc 5.Highly

My barber first used this on my scalp; and, I literally got baby soft skin smooth results with absolutely no irritation. I was blown away. That being said, the barber can see the grain and how my hair is growing differently all over my scalp and adjust accordingly. And, that is what needs to be done by the user. I get baby smooth results. However, I have to continually adjust the direction I am going in order to properly shave off the hair down to the scalp with no stubble whatsoever. That requires practice and patience. However, it beats the heck out of trying to traverse my head with a razor blade. And, the wife seems to enjoy helping too.

Bought this for hubby, who was recommended to buy from a local hair stylist/barber/shaver etc... he has been using it since Christmas, and loves it. Hubby has had numerous methods of shaving in the past.. he has used disposables, an electric shaver, cut throats etc.. and he said by far, this is the BEST and CLOSEST shave he has ever had. Now for my Hubby to say that means it really gives a close shave. If you are in doubt of purchasing because of the price. DON'T be.. It is really worth the money. Can not recommend enough. NB. Arrived when expected, packaged well, no damage, excellent quality..!!!!!!!!!!

This is one heck of a good shaver, ive tried a few for my scalp with little success and got fed up with the regular bloodbath of a wet razorThis foil shaver from the moment its unpacked just feels quality. The mains charger cord is thick, comes with 3 pin plug (bonus) and the sound of the motor just makes you believe this is built to lastI use this on my scalp which takes my hair down almost as close as a wet shaveI buzz my head every night, takes few mins and an excellent result, no nicks or cuts, no irritationIf you are a balding guy grab one (its also pretty good on the neck)

I was on the fence about this purchase as I had never owned an electric shaver and was skeptical that any electric could do a sufficient job vs wet shave. While it's not as close as a wet shave this thing is AMAZING!! If you're in a rush or just don't feel like going through the hassle of wet shaving this thing is unreal. It shaves VERY close, close enough where my girlfriend does not complain. Honestly, it does such a good job only I can tell the difference. This isn't hype it's the real deal. I read all the reviews before and that's why I finally got it, definitely a great buy!

This tool provides a super close shave. My hair stylist used it on me once and I had to buy one. I still must occasionally trim long hairs on my neck before using this tool, but it is almost a complete solution for a moderately-hairy person.Some complaints I've read allude to the fragility of this device. I think these people are not using proper technique. It's been a month and there is no observable damage to the foil or dulling of the cutter bar. Don't push down, just let the tool slowly glide across your skin and behold your baby-soft face.

I have used the more expensive Braun shavers in the past (series 9), and thought I would like to go back to a more traditional razor shape/design. The Wahl met my high expectations and shaves as well as my Braun Series 9 shaver for less than 1/2 the cost. The unit is very light and the battery has lasted more than 4 weeks. I also looked at the BaBylissPRO, it was so heavy, showed fingerprints immediately, and has an older battery technology. I highly recommend this product. My only misgiving is that it did not come with a compact case.

Love it , best shave without the anoyying ravor bumps i get from shaving with a razor ..... best thing i bought ... highly highly recommend for anyone who wants that barber close shave anytime ... but note this is mainly for stubble .. so if ur beard is to long its not gonna work ... so i kept my old shaver that gives me a nice 5 oclock shadow look then i finish it off with the 5star ... unless you jus hit it every day or other day depending on how fast ur beard grows .... buy this 100% awsome product

I used to bic my head with a Gillette Mach 3 for years. Now I use this finishing razor about every 3 days and it is as close a shave as my Gillette. My skin is much LESS irritated by this electric finish shaver than with a typical razor and shave cream. This was recommended to me by a local barber as he has used it when I have went in for beard shaping and trim. It seems pretty rugged, well built and does an excellent job for a close shave and is easy on the scalp and neck!

My husband said this shaves as close as any electric razor but does not replace a wet blade. I bought this as a gift for him based on our history with Wahl products and reviews.He wet blade shaves his head when time permits. With this razor, he buzzes every morning to maintain his wet blade shave until he can wet blade again.This has two foil shielded cutters that are offset at an angle as opposed to being flush like most of its type for faces and legs.

I use this to keep my head shaved close, and actually bought it to replace my Braun that left too much stubble. I love this shaver but BE CAREFUL! The second time I used it, I pressed too hard and the blades snagged the thin foil. That resulted in scratches all over my head! I was able to find a replacement foil the next day (but not on amazon) and haven't had that problem since. Use this awesome tool with gentleness and your head and face will feel great!

I Love this shave, does an awesome Job. Nice Clean close shave. I have own a few other shavers before and by far this is the best. My co-work told me about this shave and it has not let me down. only thing I'm disappointed in the the top part, the cover the razes, the copper screening/foil broke with in the first three days of using it and I had to buy another one. I hope this does happen all the time. But beside that I love easy to use, easy to clean.
