Therefore, the Arc 5 performs the best when used on shorter facial hair, making it ideal for shaving more often.

Of course for barbers that need a good tool for skin fades and tapers and beards with face work then it’s a no-brainier and a must-have. 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.

For most other gents, I don’t see this as the first choice of electric shaver for facial hair shaving unless the closeness of an electric shaver comes above all other functions and matters mentioned above. While Braun ditched the induction heating mechanism of the Series 7 station, it still works really well and you’ll probably want the station as it’s very practical — just like in the case of the Series 9. If anyone does a lot of home haircutting and trimming, then this is a great addition to improving their barbering skills and getting a finer finish for their family’s haircut. I do not shave my head, but my barber actually uses a ProFoil and I can honestly say that it gets as close as a razor blade.

We will review the new model of the Wahl Finale electric shaver. Its predecessor was successful, and the company made this design with superior features. And more importantly, you’ll be able to decide whether a foil shaver would be suitable for your needs. Important: there’s a newer Series 7 360 Flex as well that is in fact a downgrade in performance from the previous one like the 790cc. However, if the cost is similar to an Arc 5 ES-LV65-S, I recommend going for the latter in this case.Dry shaving – This shaver can only be used for dry shaving without any creams or soaps. The face must be dry before shaving. The Andis Profoil Lithium electric shaver comes with a lithium-ion battery that can be charged through its power cable. In addition, the blades are coated with hypoallergenic material making them suitable for the most sensitive skin. And it may not seem like a big deal at first, but at least for me, this was the most annoying thing about the ProFoil during my testing. You can buy it separately and keep using the same blades for a while, but I don’t really recommend it. At least in my particular case — coarse facial hair and sensitive skin — I almost always get better results in terms of closeness when using foil shavers.
