About this deal

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.

It is very clear that they are sharing the very same design. Some people in the comment section under the second video seems to believe that it was an unfair comparison and that the Adis was “old”, used etc. But there indeed is a real difference between them as one can hear on the noise as well, as you noted in your review Ovidiu, the Andis does have a 9000 stroke per minute motor, while the BabYlissPro, based on my research is said to have an 11 000 stroke per minute motor. So that should make some difference. One con for the BabYliss is that it got a NiMH-battery, while the Andis got a Lithum-ion one. But the BabYliss still provides up to 180 minutes of run time. Very good.I personally removed the blades and foil head and sprayed them with a spray cleaner and lubricant for electric shavers. Although this shaver has a sturdy build, care should be practiced to ensure the durability of the equipment. On top of that, the shaver has an extra thin foil, which makes it prone to damage. A smooth rhythmic movement should be used to ensure the film’s longevity, which will also give better results. Every professional groomer should have this equipment as part of the finishing process for an amazing finish. Visually, the Andis Profoil Lithium Plus kind of spooked me. The look of it is very similar to my beard trimmer, but it also felt way too professional for me to be using on my head. I’ve only ever shaved with a straight razor and an average-looking bald head shaver in the past, so this was a new experience for me in terms of visual aesthetics. I used the ProFoil for a couple of weeks almost exclusively and the cleaning was fiddly and a bit time-consuming — definitely more annoying than in the case of my other foil razors.

On the other hand, the Wahl Finale has a slightly better battery life (90 minutes compared to 80 in the case of the Andis) and it also includes a charging stand. I have also read about the SkullShaver Pitbull, but it is rather pricey from my perspective, where my perspective starts from having 3 fully functioning foil shavers, including the above mentioned Panasonic which is only one and a half years old, and all of the three are “unemployed” a the moment. The one thing that stand out with the Pitbull is the handle, how you hold the Pitbull in your hand/palm and let it glide over your head until your done, seems very easy and comfortable, but I doubt the actual shaving results, what it in the end is all about, will be that different, and justify the price from my current perspectivce, compared to any of the Braun/Panasonic foil shavers I already own, perhaps not as easy to hold, but they should without a doubt glide over the head on their foil, on short stubble hair if used weekly, without any risk. So the question is if I really, really need a fourth foil from Andis or not. Probably not. But it sounds so tempting that it shaves really, really close, and that your professionall barber includes it as part of his toolbox. Reply

Features

As the name indicates, the Finale shaver is designed to make the shaving process as short as possible. Use a clipper or trimmer if you have long hair on your face or head, as this machine is designed to cut short hair only and make it shorter. Once your hair is short enough, you can use the Wahl finale to shorten your hair further.

You can buy it separately and keep using the same blades for a while, but I don’t really recommend it.

After using the Skull Shaver Palm and then the Remington RX5 for a month each (both are head shavers) and reviewing them both, the next on the list to test and review was the Andis ProFoil Lithium shaver. I could see it had the potential to be a good head shaver, even though that is not the intended use it’s sold for. I also tested fades on a model’s hair trim (that will be my brother’s head). The American brand Wahl created this machine to ensure that you can shave your mustache and beard with minimal irritation on your skin. So let’s dive in and look at some amazing features of this electrical appliance. Because it shaves very close and it actually works better on softer hair — like the one on the head — the Andis ProFoil would be ideal for shaving the head. The charger can handle 100 to 240 volts, so you can use it anywhere in the world without any worries. Its powerful Li-Ion battery ensures you can shave wirelessly for 90 minutes. Another good thing about the battery is it can be fully charged in 120 minutes, and this is because of its fast-charging system.

The Philips Norelco OneBlade Hybrid is a sturdy, full-featured body groomer that offers versatility at a low price. Its dual-edge blade makes getting the right angle on your shave easier and is adept at touching up sideburns and mustaches. It can be used wet or dry and has a battery indicator light to let you know when it needs a charge or has a full battery (though if only used every three days, we found that it can last well over a month between charges). It includes several attachments — 1mm, 2mm, 3mm, and 5mm for stubble on your face and two comfort guards for body grooming.This machine has a hypoallergenic gold foil that ensures bump-free results and will leave your skin ultra-smooth. This machine is suitable for fragile and sensitive skin as it causes no bumps, ingrown hairs, and irritation after shaving. Since the beard is the most healthy hair on your body, a trimmer might not be enough to get the job done. This is where the Andis Profoil electric clippers will work well to ensure your beard are well shaven. I really miss being able to just rinse my shaver under warm tap water and not worry about anything else. The shaver has a high-powered rotary engine reaching 7,000 to 10,000 revolutions per minute. You can use the shaver without the cable, making shaving more comfortable. The cutting height of the Wahl finale is 0.1 mm, which provides a great look.
