Andis 17150(TS-1) Pro Foil Lithium Titanium Foil Shaver, Cord/Cordless, Gray

Product Information

The Andis ProFoil Lithium Plus comes with a dual-voltage charger, brush, blade guard and plug adapters for the UK, Europe, US and Australia. At least in my particular case — coarse facial hair and sensitive skin — I almost always get better results in terms of closeness when using foil shavers.

Some foil electric shavers have difficulties when shaving a longer beard and you will need to work harder to capture all the hairs, especially if they grow in different directions. When you first turn it on it’s not too bad, but when you start to shave, especially if you have coarse facial hair, it will sound like a coffee grinder. Also, it’s one of the better choices for men who also shave their head and don’t want a separate tool for that. So, for this demonstration, I put the Andis Profoil Lithium Titanium Foil Shaver head-to-head with the Five Star Series Wahl Finale to see which electric shaver / foil shaver is the best deal for you. The Andis Profoil Lithium electric shaver comes with a lithium-ion battery that can be charged through its power cable. In addition, the blades are coated with hypoallergenic material making them suitable for the most sensitive skin.But in all honesty, it’s not really a fair comparison given how thin the Andis foils are and as a result, they will wear out faster. The ProFoil (TS-1) has a very simple shaving system, comprised of two micro-foils arranged in a staggered fashion. Something like a Skull Shaver Pitbull will be a lot easier to use, but it won’t shave quite as close as the Andis. Locally the Wahl sells for €120, the Andis for €140, and the BabYlissPro for €150. A bit weird pricing, paying premium price for those two with plastic bodies. Would be fun if you could get your hands on theat BabYlissPro and see what you think about it. What are these type of foil shavers called ? They are not exaclty similar in design to Braun, Panasonic etc. They are similar to the design of the more simple “travellers” electric shavers, but there must be a better name. Reply Let’s now get to the part that matters the most, and that is how well the Andis ProFoil actually shaves.

The Andis Profoil Foil Shaver includes: – Andis shaver, model 17150 – Foil Guard – Charging Adaptor – Cleaning Brush The Five Star Series Wahl Finale electric shaver includes: – Wahl shaver – Foil Guard – Wall Plug Charger – Automatic Recharge Stand – Pre-shave Brush – Cleaning Brush I am an old bearded guy with who still has a pretty full head of coarse hair. I have been shaving my scalp for over 11 years and am of the opinion that most men shave the wrong part of their head hair, that is they shave their beard and let their scalp hair grow! I love a beard and I also love tattoos. I shaved my scalp so I could tattoo it!

If you can’t find one within your budget, the next best thing would be a Braun Series 3 ProSkin 3040s. It should still be good enough for a teenager, although the ones above are superior (but also cost a lot). The replacement head for the 3040s is also cheaper. All of them can be easily cleaned with warm tap water. I felt like the guy in SpongeBob SquarePantsthat says “72 hours later” when something in the series is taking too long. While Braun ditched the induction heating mechanism of the Series 7 station, it still works really well and you’ll probably want the station as it’s very practical — just like in the case of the Series 9. Philips Norelco’s older models that use the so-called Lift&Cut blades are notorious for doing that. The performance of the ES-LA63AA is remarkable for its price, making it a great deal in terms of cost and performance.

You’ll also have to make sure to always shave against the grain; failing to do so will just cause it to go over a patch of hair without cutting anything. Taking a look at the top of these shavers, both the Wahl Finale and Andis Foil Shaver feature a gold hypoallergenic foil, which each brand claims will eliminate skin irritation, including razor bumps and ingrown hairs. This means that while the results are quite good for this price range, they cannot match the speed and performance of the more powerful, advanced razors presented above. The disadvantages of foil shavers However, Titanium has a grayish color, so most likely the coating on the foil is actually Titanium Nitride, which has in fact a gold color.Balding guys that want the closest shave they can get on their heads have a good chance of loving this machine. Especially if their face also gets along well without irritation, unlike myself. This would mean they only need this shaver rather than one for the head and another for the face (it is not really the shavers intended use, though). However, Andis #17150 Profoil – and especially the new #17200 Lithium Plus have more durable foils. I’m saying again, 2 years without any issues. I’ve also seen a lot more people complain about Wahl foils, to be honest. And more importantly, you’ll be able to decide whether a foil shaver would be suitable for your needs.
