Babyliss Pro FX-8700 Barber Clippers, Gold Hair Trimmer, 1500 g

Product Information

Titanium Carbon-Nitride Blade: The deep-toothed, ultra-thin blade warrants precision and delivers a neat finish every time. Its titanium carbon-nitride coating is ultra-sharp and wear-resistant. The blade is zero-gap, ideal for gents with shorter haircut numbers who want a fresh fade. I recommend a clipper oil like the ones from Wahl or Oster, but any light mineral oil will work fine. Unfortunately, the BaBylissPRO FOILFX02 is not waterproof, so we’ll have to alter our usual cleaning routine. The reliability of the foils also seems to be better compared to Wahl which is notorious for having brittle foils, but that remains to be seen as I continue using it.

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. For home users, these features don’t really make a big difference, but for a professional, they’re really nice to have. The very thin foils, along with the powerful motor and the tight tolerance between the cutters and the foils allow it to cut the hair really close to the skin. So I would strongly suggest looking for an alternative if you shave every 3 days for example as the BaBylissPRO FOILFX02 will struggle to catch longer or flat-lying hairs.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. The BaBylissPRO FXFS2 is not unfortunately waterproof, which is a bummer as you won’t be able to rinse it clean. And that’s because the cutters rub right against the foils for that really close shave and the foils themselves are very thin, so they’ll wear out faster. And that’s because cleaning a shaver with water (and a bit of liquid soap) is by far the easiest and most effective method.

BaByliss LoPROFx Low Profile Clipper: A clipper with a low-profile design that aids easy handling and precision. The manufacturer doesn’t explicitly mention an interval for replacing these parts, but given my experience with other similar shavers from different brands, we’re probably looking at 6 to 12 months. The FOILFX02 is fitted with a large rechargeable NiMh battery that can provide up to 3 hours of cordless use. So if you want to use the BaBylissPRO FOILFX02 as your main shaver (for the face), only consider it if you normally shave often, preferably daily or every other day.The BaByliss PRO FOILFX02 is fitted with a beefy rechargeable battery that provides up to 3 hours of cordless use. On a 5-hour charge time, this clipper has a 5-hour run time, which is incredible, especially if you build good

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. I wasn’t expecting anything spectacular in that regard and can’t really fault the shaver for that. Just shave more often and everything will be fine. We especially commend its strong performance, which remains consistent until the long-running battery is completely drained.?? The adjustable blade allows you to easily customize any cut, and it’s so sharp you can kiss your manual razor goodbye once and for all! As for the made in China part, I wouldn’t worry, almost all of today’s shavers are made there, but the differences in quality can be massive. That said, the FX2 is really sturdy but also heavy. If you’re a barber and cut other people’s hair it probably won’t bother you, but for self-haircuts, I would prefer the ProFoil or the Wahl Finale. The Finale is more comfortable than the ProFoil, but maybe not quite as close shaving as the ProFoil (minor differences anyway). I find the FX2 identical to the Wahl (closeness, comfort).I had to follow up with another shaver and clean the hairs that were left behind. On top of that, I also got a rash from doing all those extra passes with the BaBylissPRO. The BaBylissPRO is fitted with a torquey 11000 rpm motor. This should provide plenty of cutting power even when shaving a coarse beard. 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. If you want to cut down your grooming time without sacrificing the result, this BaByliss model has you covered. Its design is not just about aesthetics; it’s ergonomically crafted to ensure ease of use. 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.

As long as you don’t press the foils too hard into the skin, most users should be perfectly fine shaving with it. But this wouldn’t be a real review without giving you the downsides. A few users have pointed out issues related to heating and the need for more regular cleaning. Final Verdict It isn’t exactly cheap for a basic double foil shaver, but then again it comes with a very strong motor, solid metal build and a massive battery.We love that this Clipper offers the holy trinity: performance, resilience, and style. We appreciate the BaByliss Pro FX’s lightweight design and portability, perfect for men on the move. The Pro FX’s extended battery life warrants prolonged use for home barbers, professionals, and travelers who don’t have time to charge between every cut. And even if you’re out of battery mid-session, you can continue using the shaver with the cord plugged in.
