Wahl Lifeproof Men's Rechargeable, Waterproof Foil Shaver

Well, I do believe this is the closest shave I've ever had and I've been electric since needing to shave over 60 years ago. Why did nobody else think of having the cutter head unit move to fit the face as you shave? Brilliant idea. Shaver is comfortingly heavy and feels robust and well constructed. Trimmer provides pinpoint accuracy. Charging is simplicity itself and doesn't take long to reach full charge... and a standard 3-pin plug fitted to boot ! - no more fiddling with adaptors. Only thing I would say is, the supplied cleaning brush has rather stiff bristles, which I can imagine damaging the delicate foil- I'm using a much softer small paint brush for that job.

First few days : Like many I grew tired of replacing a good shaver because a new one was almost the same cost as new cutters for the old one. Then my last well known German brand shaver started to discharge quickly after only two years. Replacements were costly and still ancient NiMh battery, so I little faith the new one would be better. Impressed with the long professional hairdresser pedigree of Wahl, LiIon battery and good price I took the plunge on a new maker. I need not have worried. Quick charge, little lighter, ergonomic to shave with, quieter and although very smooth on the skin, a better shave! Now I don't now yet what battery life will be like, and I may return to this and update when I know, but all signs are positive and I am hopeful. ** Update ** I have now owned and used this product for about six weeks. During that period I have found everything above quite correct. For we daily clean shavers, a good clean shave which is comfortable is the key quality of any shaver, and the Wahl delivers that. Best of all I now discover the battery life between charges is not a few days or even a week, but reliably two weeks at a time! Charges in an hour and forget it for a fortnight, brilliant ! Do I recommend this over it's German and Dutch competitors, absolutely and would I buy it again when it eventually dies, yes I would, it's great.

After my son's other electric razor broke we thought we'd give this one a go (price being a contributing factor). It's taken him a bit of getting used to. For some reason it wasn't quite as straight forward as carrying on as he had been with his previous shaver. I think what it is is that this one is not quite so good at chowing straight into week long stubble. In fact, the results were pretty rough just using it straight as a shaver. It took much much longer and didn't do such a clean job. Roll on a week and I coaxed him to try a different approach (he has autism, change isn't easy). This time he first used the trimmer attachment all over to trim the longest of the hairs (very good trimmer I have to say and great for the side burns), and only then did he move to using the foils. Definite improvement and closer shave. Unfortunately, he can't cope with this long-winded way of shaving. So, the compromise is to shave twice a week, just using the foils. This is working well, despite the protests (did I say he doesn't like shaving?!). The moral of the story? It is actually quite a nice and robust shaver, good trimmer and decent foils and easy to clean. It's downfall, for us, is that it is not one for more than about 3-4 day stubble. If you're also a reluctant shaver and like to just do so once a week, you may wish to invest a bit more and buy a different brand.

I have had this shaver for two weeks and have used it about nine times. It is a fairly straight forward design with two foil cutters with a floating head system and central longer hair cutter. It also has a precision trimmer. I found it to be easy to use and reasonably fast. I charged the battery up before the first use and have not had to charge it since and I do take my time shaving, so I am impressed with the performance of the lithium ion battery. I always put King of Shaves shaving oil on my face before I shave as I think it gives me an easier closer shave. Cleaning the shaver is easy and I clean it after each use. The shaver seems like it will be durable, the body is robust rather than plasticky and it has rubberised sides for good grip. It is supposed to be shock proof and I would not doubt this. My previous shaver was a Panasonic ES-RF31 and although it gave a good shave it was not robust and had a serious design fault. The foils are too thin and mine broke after 37 shaves and I wrote a review on this on Amazon. Hopefully this Wahl Lifeproof shaver will be much better in the long run. One extra point is that replacement cutters and foils are reasonably priced.

UPDATE. I've had this shaver for 10 months and while everything I said before holds true the foil heads have proved to be very fragile. I'm on my 4th one already. Average life appears to be about 3 months. After the first one failed I thought I might have been a little heavy handed with the cleaning and so have been much more gentle since but to no avail.. makes it rather expensive to own. Therefore I have to downrate it from 5 stars. Was a little bigger than I expected but is comfortable to hold and gives a very good shave. Battery life as so far proven to be very good. One of the selling points for me was the lead having a uk 3 pin plug instead of the usual 2 pin that requires an adapter. I used to just chop these off a fit a normal 3pin plug but so many shavers now seem to have the transformer built into the plug so that is no longer an option

This is about as good as it ever gets with an electric razor rather than wet shaving. Nicely built in thick resilient orange plastic with good rubbery side grips, tilting twin foil heads and an effective retractable beard trimmer. Wet & dry, a reasonable shave (for electric!), really amazing battery life from each full charge, 3-pin charger, fast recharging, presented with a zipped travel pouch and featuring a useful electronic travel lock. The only slight criticism I'd have is that there's no low-battery warning light, it doesn't even gradually get slower, it just suddenly dies, then cannot be used, even on the charger, until a bit of charge has accumulated in the battery. Overall an excellent product.

I have used Wahl shavers before and always found them very good quality giving a close shave, quick to charge and lasting a good time before needing to charge again. I have also used a variety of other shavers, including the rotary ones. This shaver is excellent build quality, very well made, has an excellent battery that charges quickly and retains charge for many shaves, however, as far as shaving goes THIS IS BY FAR THE WORST SHAVER I HAVE EVER USED. Even the cheapest ones that cost less than half the price of this shaver gave a much better, closer shave more quickly and easily. With this shaver i have to go over and over many times and even then there are areas that still have stubble remaining. Would give zero stars if i could and I deterred from buying Wahl again.

Second one I have purchased they are that good

Barely works - don’t advise to get

First time using a foil razor and I must admit away better than using your traditional Gillette razors, this wahl foil razor is definitely great to try and will highly recommend
