Barber approved miracle worker

By Amazon Customer on Reviewed in the United States on May 27, 2021

I am a licensed barber and these have been my go-to for years! I use them for a little bit of everything: bald fades, face shaves, neck hair, even to sharpen neck lines! It's important to understand how they work. The hair must be at a 0 (short stubble) or closer to work as intended. I usually prepare the area by using a clipper with no guard or a trimmer since they can cut closer if u don't zero gap your clippers. These shavers are a great alternative to traditional shaving since they prevent irritation to the skin, just make sure the skin is clean and if you are particularly sensitive, go with the grain. Battery life is very good especially considering I use them for long periods of time. Best part is the charger is compatible with the Wahl magic cordless clippers. The easiest way to clean these is blowing them out with come compressed air for keyboard dusting. Make sure not to use a bunch of pressure since the foils can be damaged that way. Finding replacement foils and blades are easy as well as installing them. Overall they are well worth the price and will get the job done flawlessly everytime.

GOLDEN FOIL IS TERRIBLE!

By DIEGO CASTRESANA D on Reviewed in the United States on April 23, 2021

Less than a month ago I decided to go 100% bald. I purchased this shaver finishing tool in order to keep my head completely and uniformly shaved. Just in case, I also purchased a Replacement Foil and Cutter Bar Assembly thinking I would need one in a few months...I needed it right away. I started using the shaver with the foil and cutter it came with and, mid shave, the foil broke like you can see in the pictures (the one not attached to the shaver). I thought that there is no perfect manufacturing process and that maybe, out of luck, I had received a faulty foil and replaced it with the one I had also purchased and which thought was going to need in a few months, maybe a year or so. I started using the second one and, after 5 or 6 uses, IT ALSO BROKE!!! This foil thing is of terrible quality and I WANT MY MONEY BACK!!! But to have my money back, I have to return the shaver but just the quote from DHL to have it returned it's at least $50...and I would only get $20 back from Amazon. I don't think I have ever been SOOOOOO disappointed in a product I have purchased through Amazon...UNBELIEVABLE!!!
