Started shaving my head down to the skin about 2 months ago. Started much like everyone else with a cartridge razor and managed to get a few cuts. That sent me through a rabbit hole and I came out on the other side with a lBrio Raze, Freebird, Omni Shaver, Pitbull Platinum, and Remington Shortcut Pro, and a lighter wallet. None of them gave me that skin smooth feeling that the inicial wet shave gave me. Went to the store and picked up the Babyliss UV double foil and omg it was literally the same result as a razor. The only thing I don’t like about the razor is that the metal body is slippery and a fingerprint magnet, but given the epic shave and the fact that it has that cool UV disinfecting feature makes up for it. I was able to snag a 20% discount at the shop so that’s a win. I might buy the FX3 just to test it out. Thanks for the video man, you did your research.

[@olsoftshark8986]

Best comparison videos on KZbin..So thorough, so honest

[@Dominicreviews]

Almost at 150K. Honestly, very happy to see your channel grow eddie. Been a subscriber for a long time now when your go to clipper was the oster corded fast feed. Cheers to a even better 2024.

[@YouTubeBarberAcademy]

Thanks man! Came a long way since those day but that was an awesome clipper for sure

[@dyson3509]

I always wondered about the replacement blades vs foils. I never understood why people replaced the foils when its the blades underneath that are doing the cutting. Glad I'm not the only one who thought that.

[@user-rn5tw7rx2b]

It’s because the foil wears out and gets damaged . You can seen if there’s damage if don’t use it you won’t know but it’s like a sharp edge .

[@clintbreezy9627]

I’m a fan! Bro, this channel, cuts by Reggie, tank, 360jeezy, get beamed, Bossio, and Clint are great channels and I wish you all much much success!

[@rjohnbernales]

Thank you for this review. Best one I’ve seen so far. Love seeing you show other influencers some love too 🙏☺️

[@aprilgideon5117]

I love your videos! I appreciate all the pros and cons on equipment. Then I can decide for myself in order of what I value most as a stylist to suit my craft. I’m a licensed cosmetologist essentially crossing over to the land of barbering. My heart has always been men’s cuts but figuring it out later in life and dialing I exclusively with men. I wanna learn from the pros in barbering. Much respect to the trade and all those who work hard to not just hone their own craft but to give the gift of educating others! Thanks for the thorough reviews!

[@thistlebrookfamily3823]

Solid video Eddie, appreciate ya!

[@reefsurfer4356]

Your videos are super helpful to me, can't Thank-you enough...

[@mariocutz]

Thanks for the tip on foils and their blades. I have the Fx3 and need quite a few passes. Already replaced thr blades and wanted to swap out for other brands but didn't know which were interchangeable. Thanks again for the interchangeable advice.

[@bruces2959]

Great review bro. Was in the market and you made my decision easy 🍻

[@Drago286v]

Fantastic Video Bro.........Thank you so much!!!

[@neil231]

Eddie, I have a few of the shavers! I like your honesty! Keep the videos coming.

[@proofdude]

Good stuff man, I like your style, ( right up front ) I'm calling BaByliss for you and see what their problem is. Great video ,well edited and good audio and music. First time using electric razor too. I'm counting on you. Thanks Happy 2024.

[@joeskichavez395]

Thank you Mr. Eddie Barber. I agree, the fx3 shaver is an awesome shaver. Also, that SC gold blade is 🔥

[@hansroemer2497]

Eddie. Great review. A whole lot of heart. Thank-you. Peace.

[@davidingram5965]

Great review. Very helpful....

[@adrianomolovic1313]

Hey man, u r so great for my dependence to spend money on tools as a barber, because we are happy with new haircut when is perfecty ,cause every barber stay at home wit 2-3 mirrors and check the haircut which other do to us : )) and whenwe buyanew toy ( tool).So I was close to buying an andis shaver, looking great, usb-c plug , etc. ; but after your video I just ordered the babyliss uv . God blessings you 🙏!

[@hazemhozien359]

Thank u for the review ❤ your fans from middel east .. cong.❤

[@Ishforreal]

As a new head shaver this was the exact video I’ve been looking for.

[@ShowemRight]

Damn, I aint bought anything barber machine related since 2014, and those were my OSTER Fast Feeders and that was 2015. Though to see foil shavers costing more than my main clippers, like whoa. The Last time I was cutting in a shop was back in 96, and the Remington foils were being used. I never used one on Rusty's heads, I used my And is Styliner II, and just kept them sharp by letting them run in a cup of dried quaker oat brand grits or corn meal works just as good. I will be buying a foil shaver for my own head because I'm balding, and thats why I'm here, and I will subscribe too.

[@erictorow250]

The new style craft flex foil shaver in my opinion is solid as a rock best shaver out there today folks 😊

[@Rezamajedi]

I wish Victor motor shaver was available in market to see how amazing that shaver is when it released people going to love that shaver I have it and I love it I used to take 5 minute for shaving around the head to do skin fade with that shaver take 20 second!!

[@erictorow250]

The fx2 shaver is also really solid to great metal protection at all times😊

[@davidberry9226]

How often do you change out your clipper, trimmer and foil blades? And/or do you have them sharpened? And if so how often?

[@aliimad8283]

How close does the braun series 9 regular one shaves? Compared to fx3?

[@nino_805]

Bruh hands down that vanish is the best out there at the moment larger cutting blades making it shave faster and more efficient. Y’all wild.

[@valetudo025]

Props for giving something other than SC the win. Makes the videos way more legit. Love the channel, go Bills

[@bronzremix]

I think you have the best looking bald side shave I have ever seen on a man.

[@deykno87]

Stop the glaze

[@fra91_]

Can I use the Babyliss as an electric shaver for my beard? Or is it just for hair?

[@Iamheem_]

What would you recommend best for the beard and to get rid of 5 o clock shadow

[@jeffreyholder8941]

on the babyliss shavers you can actually just use the normal charging cord try it out. same ones you use on your clippers trimmers.

[@fourthirtysl]

Does the FX3 shaver use the same charger as the fx low pro clippers/trimmers?

[@jaayfadez5805]

Great video

[@slimee5549]

The Rebel foil shaver.. #1

[@zizoasklany4446]

Can a budget foil shaver (around $40) do the same job?? Im mainly focused on the closest shave possible I dont really mind noise or low battery life

[@aaronshyper3426]

Bro always dropping gems❗️Also I think Babyliss don’t send you anything because everyone knows you rep Style Craft 💀

[@SergeantRichGolfing]

Obviously the dude is in bed with style craft and down play all Babyliss products.

[@kingdungee85]

​@t.r.golfing794 he always does ans that's his only drawback because before stylecraft started hooking him up he was more bias 🤷🏾 but I also feel he's gotten used to their clippers now and truly likes them ... just doesn't give the real on other companies 💪💯

[@romesrepublic]

​​@@SergeantRichGolfingWhat are you talking about? He gave Babyliss the win🤨

[@erictorow250]

The rebel shaver by style craft is also really solid in my opinion 😊

[@atyl1972]

Tell you what, i am finding this to be such a difficult decision to make a purchase, i need the whole set, clippers, and trimmer and foil shaver, for home use only as i cut my hair myself, simple buzz cut, but have always wanted to try more styling especially with these trimmers that are available now that are pretty sharp, i also like aesthetics and want products that when i pick up i will enjoy using. what can you recommend Eddie for a set at home?

[@iconikreviews5377]

I expected your next video after the best clippers would have been best trimmers. Is that something you'll be doing? Curious to see what you think of wahl hi-viz

[@melomaniacua]

Closer to skin? Andis ts2 vs babyliss fx3? Tell me, please.

[@victorcedillo9338]

No caliber moab? I dont have much experience with the other but can it not compete?

[@gazzy99]

How would you compare the babyliss fx to the baun series 9?

[@Sari36YT]

No Braun Series 9 here? Wondering if I should get the Braun Series 9 or the Babyliss FX3?

[@CODESFV]

So what shaver should i get i want the best quality and top notch!

[@kimberlycaceres3449]

I have the rebel foil shaver and it's amazing

[@leonprez231]

Absolutely fantastic video. I always watch your stuff. I have a question if would be great if you would respond. Just for a bit of clarity. I currently own the uv double foil love it accept I have to go over a spot a few times few to to get fully bold no hair what's so ever. Are you saying if I purchase the rebel blades for them. They cut so much closer than the uv originals it will negate that? I have them in my basket as I write this. I just want to be 💯 sure before I purchase. Just to add I have very course tough hair. Many thanks for your help in advance

[@YouTubeBarberAcademy]

Sounds like your original blades might have went dull, if you put the rebel ones on it will cut the same length and actually faster but they will dull out faster than the original babyliss cutters

[@leonprez231]

​@@KZbinBarberAcademy no it's been cutting this way since the day I got them my brother. But still many thanks for your response. Much appreciated

[@Guy-vv2vm]

Which one or two would be best on ball heads?

[@crvzer]

Thanks for the video. Can you please confirm the ability to charge the Babyliss UV Foil with a USB-C to USB-C cable rather than the included USB-A to USB-C cable?

[@Z3DZ3R0]

It should work. There is nothing different to it. The power source should be powerful enough though.

[@ericl20881]

Has anyone ever used the Rebel or Babyliss on their face? Do they work well? Is one better than the other?

[@tjharlow]

do the Stylecraft replacements also work with the Uno single foil ?

[@manuelcardenas3441]

Which one is the best for home use ?

[@salvadorvega6416]

Good video, also funny.

[@manlyscents]

How many haircuts do the Stylecraft cutters last?

[@TankBeChoppin]

😂😂😂 great video bro

[@whatfreedom7]

For someone who’s not really used a electric shaver is the babyliss FX3 or the UV good for just daily use or should is just go with something like the Braun 6-7 series? Will they cut several day stubble?

[@YouTubeBarberAcademy]

Honestly, everything on this list was designed for heavy use in the Barbershop. You will be fine picking any of them. I would go with the cheapest one. That would be the Rebel.

[@noedidit.]

best shaver is the new barbell grip shaver by babyliss. that thing mows thru hair like no other. tried em all out already here at the shop.

[@YouTubeBarberAcademy]

I’m sure it’s great. I look forward to getting one. Hope to have one soon.

[@erictorow250]

Fx1 one shaver is also really good 👍 too in my opinion of course 😊

[@davidaddis7786]

Trying to figure out what to get (shaver, trimmer and/or clipper) for home use (but thinking barber quality) if looking for the best product(s) without much concern for price. I have a short trimmed (5/6) mustache and goatee. I am “learning trimming and right now using just an old Braun trimmer. I like to try to cut/trim bare under the nose, above the upper lip, triangle soul patch and goatee and sideburn edges. Again, happy toget 1, 2 or 3 devices. Recommendations? Thanks!!

[@davidaddis7786]

Including wanting to possibly switch from a single/double edge razor blade to electric for the rest of the beard area if I can get a close enough shave.

[@bryannjimenez3305]

I just picked up the sc rebel for 60$ can’t beat that

[@curlybarbershop]

Shaver Valenty Ancull, mismo equipo que la Rebel y su precio es $30 en aliexpress

[@ryebread1980]

So how does the Fx02 compare to the fx3?

[@Top_qualitykennel]

That last comment is why they don’t send u nothing even though you have a point but and there’s always a but the gold fx blade still remains top tier to me as far as liners just to line up now the one blade can do it all and I’ll give u that but still Babyliss blades sets the crispiest lines

[@topcatgrindhard2959]

FX3 for me🎯🔥💈👑

[@motorheadronnie]

All good information, but I'd expect a rating on the closeness of the shave more than comfort. The shavers shaving performance is most important in my opinion.

[@yuconcorn]

That Bills clock caught my eye...are you located in Buffalo?

[@steviejojo3448]

mrd vector motor shaver is fire been using it for about a month now.... whenever sc finally releases their version i have a feeling it will be up there

[@YouTubeBarberAcademy]

No lie there it’s the fastest shaver ever

[@paigeofstylez]

The most unbiased 2 videos ive seen in this industry 💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿❤️❤️❤️

[@Giverabarber]

Babyliss is top even without the changes. Just in case I have both…

[@BeautynBeards]

Somehow, I missed where you were located. I just moved from Naples after 30 years

[@babyboy505018]

I think you should add the jv pro shadow shaver, the red pro shaver, the new bevel shaver, and also the new caliber shaver. Maybe even the ace shaver from gamma To the line up

[@desmondmitchell5602]

I have the jv pro shaver. It's crazy Loyd but it cuts amazing.. if they fix the noise they will have something

[@user-fu3xu1tj8d]

We apologize for your experience. Can you please shoot us a dm to try an trouble shoot the situation. When tested side by side to the best shavers on the market the sound decimels are practically the same. FYI all shavers tend to get louder over time or when needing to change the foil. Babyliss fx3 is the only shaver that is quieter because of housing and it’s running at 10,000rpm. Housing of shaver impacts the sound. We went with lightweight for ergonomics and power for quick and smooth shave. We didn’t think the sound was going to make that much of a difference since it is only 1-3 decimels difference but shaves fast and we only use the shaver for 1-3 mins of a cut. But let’s connect and see how we can help you out.

[@desmondmitchell5602]

​@@user-fu3xu1tj8dit's brand new ! It's when I put it to my head it gets loud on contact.. but I will hit you up

[@jamesonshields4393]

Fx3 has lithium motor. Fx2 has rotary.

[@sdyksterhouse]

Would u suggest the babyliss if your shaving your whole head for bald look?

[@YouTubeBarberAcademy]

For personal use i would just get the cheapest one. They all can do this easily so i would pick the Rebel and use my code. Prolly cost around like 60 usd

[@FaTaL1h]

Babyliss still offers more trimmer blades then Gamma/SC

[@AdonisDieguez-sf4xs]

I ask: will the JRL be comfortable for left-handed people? Saludos desde cuba

[@YouTubeBarberAcademy]

You can’t change the lever to the other side like you can on the cyborg, but if you are used to cutting that way already, the JL is a good Clipper

[@jovidmenie9602]

I pay for my babyliss UV double 135 in Puerto Rico brand new

[@joysill6035]

Im trying to pick out an electric razor for my 90 year old mostly blind father. He needs it to shave his face/beard. He complains that most razors "pull" the hairs. He does have alot of facial fat, especially around his adams apple. Anything you would recommend that would give a close shave, be gentle on his skin, and user friendly for someone who isnt tech savvy, that needs an in home razor for coarse old man hair? Thanks!❤

[@YouTubeBarberAcademy]

As long as his hair is short enough, every one of these on the list will work the lowest cost one is the Rebel shaver

[@WazzyTV]

the uv foil shaver is loud though

[@skippyzk]

I like this guy

[@valariestanley492]

Hi, which shaver would you recommend for women that wear bald fades like myself? Thank you in advance for responding!🌸

[@YouTubeBarberAcademy]

Sounds like it’s for personal use. In that case I would get the least expensive one which still performs great and grab the Stylecraft rebel.

[@valariestanley492]

@KZbinBarberAcademy Thank you! I’m a hairstylist but Yes, it’s for my personal use.

[@nor_d_barberpr758]

What about Braun 9

[@ifoxy1116]

so whats the best budget shaver for home use (whole body) ?

[@YouTubeBarberAcademy]

Using an electric shaver on your body can be kind of rough for body grooming. I would probably tell you to get a trimmer but for personal use I would say get the cheapest one on the list which would be the Rebel.

[@scottt.1526]

The Braun Series 9 is the best shaver, hands down, not close.

[@amazoidal]

Bring back the best shaver - the Remington ES-1000 Flat Head. Best body shaver.

[@marcy419]

What would you suggest for home use for neck sharp I’m a black man?

[@YouTubeBarberAcademy]

I would pick the Rebel from Stylecraft. It’s the low cost option and it will work perfect.

[@oscararaya1029]

Bro what happened with Andis😢?

[@3rdEyeBarber]

I already knew that secret .. i pefer using original cutters

[@jla8999]

Jv shadow shaver has the best performance

[@RUBAHNO]

Bro the Panasonic arc 5 is the best you have to test it its been my hidden secret this the gem

[@YouTubeBarberAcademy]

I have it and I have a video all about it

[@Jay-rv6gh]

What about Braun

[@amgcarlos3]

I love my resurge

[@van123446]

So, these are better face shavers than the Braun 9 and Arc 6 ?? thanks

[@YouTubeBarberAcademy]

They get closer, however, the Braun and the Panasonic will be more gentle

[@van123446]

I gave my Braun 9 to my wife, as I was spending quite a long time actually getting all the hairs cut ( I don't shave but every three days or more). Wondering if your top pick is better at picking up longer hairs on the face? I often see that the Philips rotary type is better for facial hair that is cut once or twice a week? Any thoughts? and thanks again for our input.

[@CoinOperated.]

You didn't talk about the Braun series 9. 😮

[@FabianVilchesgomez]

No braun 9 no Panasonic arc 6. No true review
