About this deal

When this 5 Star Finale was released it was marketed as ‘The Ultimate finishing tool’ and it’s easy to see why with its compact, classic design. Lightweight and easy to control it is the definitive tool for finishing, fading, blending and cleaning up hair lines. The power button on the Babyliss Pro Titanium Foil Shaver is located on the other side of the unit and you will notice once you switch them on, these are a powerful unit and slightly heavier than other foil shavers you may have used before. On top of the power, the stainless steel casing feels great in your hand. Granted, it won’t be as easy as using something like the Skull Shaver Pitbull, but it will get the job done and again, it will give you a closer shave.

The Wahl 5 Star Finale is just over 4 ½ inches high and weighs in at a lightweight 5.8 oz. This makes it easy to use and it not only looks good, it works well too. Mounted on the front of the unit, is a big rubbery on off slider switch. Exactly where a switch should be, so you can operate it easily with your thumb. It rids that classic overhead hold and numerous blade design for something a little more familiar to guys who consider themselves regulars at their barbers. It’s very much like your best beard trimmer in terms of size and grip but a little more on the boxier side. In addition, the device is extremelylightweight. 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 Not only it will just leave behind the flat-lying hairs, but you may even experience some pinching and the hairs getting yanked.

Finish off the details.

Accessories – As mentioned, the charger adapter has 6 plug types for various countries. You get a small cleaning brush and a foil guard, and that’s about it for accessories. Would have liked to have seen it come with a travel pouch or bag, though. And depending on your shaving routine and other aspects (like dealing with sensitive, irritation-prone skin), it may not be a viable option as your main electric (face) shaver. 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.

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. Precisely, it supposedly features a Gold titanium hypo-allergenic foil for irritation-free shaving.We’re mainly interested in seeing how it can fare when used as a regular electric shaver, which isn’t really the use case that it was designed for. The ProFoil (TS-1) has a very simple shaving system, comprised of two micro-foils arranged in a staggered fashion. I really need to stop reading about shavers as you always want to try some of them out that one finds interesting, which is impossible before buying. But while looking and researching. I found that the best local price of the Andis is €140, which is way too much as it is not a high-end shaver by any means, except that it seems to provide a high-end shaving result. With your average bald head shaver, the thought of shaving is almost effortless. You simply go around in circles and hope for the best. And traditionally, you get the best, too. With this shaver, I found myself thinking a ton more. I wasn’t operating as a carefree dude shaving his head in his bathroom, I was operating as if I was working. The Andis ProFoil Lithium Titanium Shaver uses a pair of internal blades and a foil assembly that must be changed every 6 months according to the manufacturer.
