Review on πŸͺ’ Wahl Professional 5-Star Series Rechargeable Shaver/Shaper #8061-100 - Extended 60 Minutes Run Time - Smooth, Precise Shave without Irritation by Natalie Martin

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Makes a tight cut, but watch out for friction.

First of all this product gives a really close shave that hugs the face/head very well. I bought it with the intention of using it on my head every few days to avoid multiple shaves. This device comes closest to the shaving experience of a real razor compared to other electric razors. However, it takes some time to get the right angle/pressure to get as close as possible. I've only used this on my head so I can't speak with knowledge of how it will work in other areas. Cleaning is also very easy as the device breaks easily and a cleaning brush is included. I have found that performance is optimal if I stop and brush once or twice during use depending on the length of hair during use. I wouldn't recommend this to anyone who has too much stubble between shaves as it didn't work for me under the conditions specified. And here's the catch: it's broken! That's right, just when I thought I had a solid product to fill my grooming gap, he bought a farm. I drove over the head twice when I heard a completely different noise than what was being made before and on examination one of the cutter arms broke off. I'm not shocked that something broke, but I'm surprised at how quickly it broke. in terms of use and length of ownership. I've had this device for about a month and a half and in that time I've used it three times, the fourth time it failed. Obviously this type of error is more common since the defective part is available. as a single piece. In fairness I would assume that Wahl anticipates failure of the part within a certain timeframe given that replacement parts are available. Considering the price of the product, I'd rather buy replacement parts (about $17 for Revain) than be forced to replace the entire unit. made complete at no additional cost. I will update this review as needed depending on the outcome of this situation.

Pros
  • Like all before
Cons
  • Long wait
