The CLOSEST SHAVING Pro Foil Shaver EVER! - Babyliss Pro Titanium Foil Shaver

[@mafrobeats]

I got one of these a few years ago and it's an absolute beast. Couldn't believe how close it cuts.

[@_Epictetus_]

The shaver works better the dryer your head is. Powder your head and it's the ultimate shave. Also use a 3 head shaver for stubble or is going to take forever. The right tool for the job 👍

[@cod4787]

There are so many products but I always find myself going back to a shaving razor.

i am now questioning my hairline and keep my hair to a 0 guard electric razor, i am now looking for a foil shaver that doesn't cost as much as the Braun s9, is the babyliss a recommendation?

[@juliuscaesar8801]

Remington Balder Pro much much better and closer.

[@Baldcafe]

It’s not closer than this. The RX7 is the balder pro. Balder pro does get there more comfortably as I mentioned in the video.

[@baldponder]

You have not only inspired me to accept my balding, but you have inspired me to start my very own YT channel centered around dealing with hair loss. Thank you for all you've done Harry. You have played a pivotal role in my personal growth/development!

​@@Baldcafewould you recommend the babliss uv foil?

[@leemo432]

Hey Harry I have this but it was causing me irritation. I've bought the braun series 9 pro and it's much better but a lot more expensive. Great review though mate nice one 👍

[@Baldcafe]

Yeah Braun 9 glides better meaning less irritation for sure 👍

[@robgraham1204]

I have this and like you it's great.for the top of my head and the sides but the back is a joke it's takes ages to do and I find going back to my razor to finish my head These electric head shavers are a waste of money.

[@AbrahamMusalem]

I’ve had this one for travel and it great. Although airport security always pulls my carry on thinking it’s a weapon haha

[@jamesryder9158]

the blades do eat through the foil and you can't predict when that happens but when it does it really puts the cuts in your head and that can be tiresome, i used the babyliss for a couple of months and I went back to the Leaf razor

[@clovislyme6195]

Completely endorse this. I am a lifelong wet shaver - new blade every week - with disdain for the electrics of my distant youth. I have bad back now (told you youth was distant), and don't like to bend over a sink in the mornings. I researched electrics and was not impressed until I came across reviews like this (before yours came out). I bought one and it is absolutely brilliant - with a little care and practice it is as good as a blade. ONLY for daily close shavers though. It is useless on a couple of days' stubble.

[@Baldcafe]

Very good 👍

[@sheldonjones3921]

As a professional barber and for an around £80 it’s a really good buy and solid! I have the mirror gold one, they do 3 types of foil shaver now.

[@sheldonjones3921]

Also it runs at around 10,000RPM which is why it’s a little loud. It’s a great shaver that when you need to bald out on a busy Saturday it does it well.

[@WhoCares1307]

[@benhughes2563]

Looks cool, reminds me of the Andis which I tried and, while close as you can get with an electric, irritated my head sadly. Splashed out on a Braun Series 9 Pro (and Amazon sent me the Pro + lol) after watching your video on it and that's the perfect balance of closeness and comfort, for me.

[@Handsomeinvestments]

I used this thing and yea it does shave you smooth but lord Jesus...the razor bumps were serious!!!

[@Jonah-554]

[@m.t-thoughts8919]

At this point I would just go for laser hair removel treatment unless you planed some hair transplant surgery

[@Replicant-by1eh]

Awkward quesiton to ask here but is also kinda practical, is this good for balls?

[@yashinisuki]

I got it as a replacement for my broken Braun Series 9 and I can’t recommend it to anyone with sensitive skin/thick hair. Just like you said, it doesn’t glide and because of that it’s causing a lot of irritation. Also the foil cracked after a week of normal, home use (during the head shave) cutting my scalp pretty severely. I don’t think that this is a bad product, just not suitable for shaving head, especially if you have sensitive skin. I’ve tried using it with the electric pre-shave lubricant and unfortunately, even though helps the foil to glide easier, it clogs it up very quickly. Braun Series 9 is still the king of the head shavers for guys with sensitive skin.

[@Wedelinskyj]

How close does the Braun get compared to a razor?

[@yashinisuki]

@@Wedelinskyj I can’t really compare it to the normal razors as I’ve only used adjustable DE razors. My skin is very soft and sensitive, so I only use the mildest blades and razors which don’t shave as closely as cartridge razors. Braun cuts my hair almost as close as my DE razor minus the cuts and irritation, so for me it’s a no brainer to use Series 9 over anything else. Keep in mind that I use older Series 9, I have tried the new Pro’s and they are different (feel a little bit more aggressive)

[@Wedelinskyj]

@@yashinisuki I also have very sensitive skin and when I started off, I used a Remington electric shaver, the one with 5 heads. In the shower, with shaving cream - I couldn't get it to give me an even, clean shave over the whole head without irritating the skin a lot. So I've had to move into razor territory and now I can get an even, close shave, but it's never irritation free.

[@yashinisuki]

@@Wedelinskyj Babyliss gives me more irritation than a DE razor, so I’m guessing that you should probably stay away from it if your skin is very sensitive. I’ve tried using electric shavers for wet shaving - they just don’t work as good as when used “dry”. I get the best results with electric pre-shave lubricant or baby powder tbh. I would recommend you to try your Remington with electric pre-shave lubricant only. I’ve been using one of those cheap head shavers and as long as I shave my head daily, I get the best shaves with it. No irritation at all and close enough shave for under 20€.

[@haroldbetterson1877]

Hi mate if you’ve got a weeks growth, what would you use before this? Thanks

[@Baldcafe]

Any 0 guard clippers or mini clippers 👌

[@00Resev]

Box shavers are finishers. They are not meant to take down bulk at all. Despite their efficiency, they are very simple machines, and the heads and blades will not last with that kind of abuse. If you want to use them as head shavers, go for a daily shave. Maybe even every other day, but in my experience with them, that's already asking too much. They work very well, as long as you respect their limitations.

[@hansmiller664]

Don'nt forget about the ANGLE of the shaver on your head. Especially at the difficult backside. Tip: Wash your headskin thoroughly and dry it off before. Otherwise old skin and fat from the surface will spoil the little wholes and the rotating blades in your shaver. Have a GOOD SHAVE and THANK YOU FOR YOUR CHANNEL!🤝🤝🤝👍👍👍

[@FreddieBadBoy-dp7cx]

Tip…..your head has to be completely dry in order bc or this to glide smoothly . If you’re sweating slightly, no good. Sometimes I’ll hit my bald head with the hair dryer on cold just by I close all my pores and make my head dry so I can shave smoothly with the profoil

[@borbetomagus]

I'm not a head shaver, but wonder if this would be best only if you do daily shaves. Personally (for several days growth), I'd first use a cheap, convenient alternate that's not completely efficient, but very comfortable (to take down the bulk of the growth), then end the shave with the Babyliss Pro, as this is the strength of the razor. Another review said: 'You should use clippers or trimmers first and then this'. I'd think if you subject the Babyliss Pro to multi-day growth some component isn't going to last as long as with one-day growth. It might take longer, but I would guess - on both passes - it will be much more comfortable.

[@Baldcafe]

Yes, using it on multiple days growth isn’t ideal with this thing I don’t think

[@drinkinouttacups2665]

You seriously used a foil on 3 days of growth?

[@Baldcafe]

Yes

[@speakoid]

After using the Andis Profoil for years I bit the bullet and bought the Braun Series 9 last week and it's a monster. Went through 5 days growth no problem. I just wish I'd picked it up sooner.

[@Baldcafe]

Yeah it’s much better than the Andis

[@orangelupine3761]

Yeah series 9 is one of my go to’s in rotation with my skull shaver and leaf twig!

[@Curt__]

You guys use the braun 9 for your head or just the face?

[@speakoid]

[@GlitchBlitch]

I appreciate the review, that helps a bald fella a lot.

[@Life_is_a_yourney]

@baldcafe, which razor i best for the closest shave? This or Braun series 9? Other? My main priority is a close shave when I don’t use my Gillette labs. I bought the RX7 and it is good but after 3-4 rounds and a warm head, but it doesn’t work in the neck where it causes burn marks. It’s not as good as a blade though but pretty close.

[@Anonymous-p7q2h]

Don't suppose there's any chance of covering male scalp folliculitis is there? I like to shave my head using Remington RX5 or the babyliss pro but suffer with folliculitis. Not only is it painful and bothersome, but knocks my confidence

[@AMTunLimited]

I'm guessing the UK doesn't have GFCI outlets in their bathrooms?

[@marcinstragowski2208]

@Baldcafe - you reviewed alot of shavers, and probably used many - what would you recommend ultimately - for shaving head only ? i want the smoothest possible, but want something electric to be able to shave before going to job, wet shaving is too much hassle for me

[@IIMAVII]

As a fellow baldy I might have to give this one a go as I always like to try out new shavers. Currently using a combination of the Philips Oneblade Pro for trimming up, the Skullshaver Pitbull Gold Pro for the main shave and then finish off with the Braun Series 9 Pro to get a closer smoother finish. This has been the best combination of shavers for me for a while now but always looking for an upgrade.

[@Jay_bit]

Probably would've glided better if you used a hot towel to loosen your skin and use a good shave cream. Looks like you went raw, man

[@Ono_Michio]

I must accept that electric razors are not for me but it's hard because it's so convenient.

[@Rev0UK1]

I still love my series 9 more so because I can also wet-shave with it And its really comfortable

[@KrisVic91]

I just wana get a leaf twig. Still using disposables. Someday.

[@bradcresswell4255]

Use a trimmer first before a barber foil shaver or it will miss hair it has to be short

Super interesting,I'm gonna look into buying one,tried many others n always poor. This seems like it maybe the real deal.thanks 😎

I have this a few months now, haven't watched this video yet, here are my thoughts. Ive been shaving my head with foil shavers a few years now, had a few different types from different brands - this one is on a complety different level. Dont bother with the rest, get this one. Battery lasts over a month (i use it for 5 min every day. The foils have yet to break, other brands seem to break within a couple of weeks. Looks and feels better than the rest. Cuts closer and easier than the rest. East buy

[@Baldcafe]

Thanks for sharing man. I really slept on this one. It is miles ahead of the And is. I used it again today with only 2 days growth and the shave was much easier. Hope you enjoy my review.

Im really trying so hard to like myself with hair like this. I am only 22, no girl my age is gonna want a to be with a bald guy. Infact my last girl specifically said she wouldn’t have dated me if I was bald. I guess I should be happy with myself regardless of something as superficial as hear but I just can’t have the amount of positivity these guys eventually have about it. Guess I’ll have to watch more of your videos until I’m okay with it haha

[@Baldcafe]

You are young bro. It takes time, it takes life experience, it takes reflection. It takes you starting to think about things you actually like about yourself more than spending time wishing for other circumstances or washing to be back in the past. If you are struggling to think of things you like about yourself then do hard things, achieve things outside of your current comfort zone. If your criteria is getting laid with a shaved head then just focus on achieving that. It isn’t un achievable because the bald gene lives on strong for a reason. You just gotta see it all with your own eyes and that does take time, experience and the accumulation of wins. The alternative is to give up and live in misery. F that. Don’t squander your potential to achieve and do great things just because you no longer have the full head of hair you once did. At the end of the day you’ve just changed your hair cut. That sounds blunt but it’s the truth.

[@conalhendry]

Relatively new to the bald crew, and loving it. This video has sealed the deal for me, I'll be getting this instead of using razors, just for convenience. And I'll sub too... Nice in depth first look 👌🏼 thanks man!

Hey been watching for a while and made the decision to shave it as well. I have tried the skull shaver gold wasnt impressed because around the ears it couldnt perform at all. Is this better? Also i would love some tips regarding itchiness & dandruff in general and shampooing as a new bald man!

[@Baldcafe]

No shampoo needed. I advise putting on something like the Bald Cafe Bald Head Butter or similar after shaving your head and even on the daily. Available here: bldbro.com/collections/products/products/baldheadbutter Now as for is this better. If you struggle with irritation then no. It’s probably more irritating. Does it shave closer and easier to use around the years, yes. But if you want to get the most out of this you need to use it every day or 2 days max. If you don’t need your head absolutely skin bald then I suggest checking out something like the Wahl Aqua blade clippers. I have a full review on the channel here also 👍 hope that helps.

[@shaiderblack6311]

Interesting review. Usually use a safety razor myself. Dusted off the Andis recently for a trip I went on, and it left me disappointed. Not sure if I'll ever get this after seeing you struggle on the back of your head (if you struggled with your hair, then I'd definitely struggle with my hair). Hopefully one day there will be an electric razor that can genuinely replicate the ease of using something like a safety razor on all areas of the head. Especially for those of us with thick/coarse hair.

I own the Braun series 9 and this babyliss foil shaver. The Braun is a lot more quiet and gentle and can go through longer hair .. But the babyliss is half the price and gets closer than the braun. Both are the best shavers on the market ✌️

[@danadcock9743]

I have been shaving my head for almost 15 years. I think I have tried every head-shaving option there is, from Brauns (nearly as good as Babyliss) to Andis (sucks) to Headblade (dangerous!). The Babylon’s Pro is the best. And yes, it is loud!

In your opinion, how well you think this shaver would do on a African American bald head with 2 to 3 day growth???

I use the FX3 model and its razor close, just stretch your skin and go against the grain in short strokes...it just erases the stubble away. Ive had mine for 18mo and still using stock blades, i have coarse thick hair and i use it every 2 to 3 days.

[@tobynoe6748]

Like many guys my age, 63, I’m not totally bald, just very thin on top. I don’t like the way it looks so I shave my head. My wife hates it but tolerates it, lol.
