Poor quality
1 Star
Poor quality
I received this foil shaver, YESTERDAY And the cover started shattering and flaking all over the place after only the second use, the blades became exposed and cut my head and ears. This is incredibly dangerous and should be cautioned by anyone Looking to purchase this product this was only one day old and the safety cover completely deteriorated as you can see by the photo. It’s incredibly dangerous and should not be purchased by anyone.The quality of the cut is pretty good. The safety factor fall short and should be taken into consideration. I will be returning this for a full refund and will not be buying this Again, they are only getting one star because you can’t give zero

Let me start by saying that when I tried this razor on my legs it did not work. When my husband tried on his head after like a week of not shaving, it didn’t work, but then I told my husband to shave his head the normal way, and then use this the next day, it works great! So now if my husband uses it every day it’s great. His Head has never been that smooth so the product is great. You just need to know how to use it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great shaver if you dont like alot of facial hair. especially for the ever sensitive skin of an african american male
Reviewed in the United States on May 14, 2014
Verified Purchase
Ok so i rarely ever write any type of reviews for anything, but this was a must. Now the shipping was pretty fast on the sellers part so props to them. I am a young 19 year african american male. Since my first facial hair that started to grow in the 6th grade (yeah i know) i have tried everything under the sun to shave. my hair doesnt grow uniformly like i would like it to dod but it grows sparsely all over my face as a mess. i really hated it. It was such a depressing fact, comming from someone who dresses nicely but my facial hair would mess up the whole outfit.Sucks when youre trying to woo the opposite sex huh. Everytime i went to the barber for a complete haircut and shave of a shapeup it will begin to grow back on the beginning of the 2nd day. It was annoying and expensive to go get a shapeup once a week to control my hair.I bought an andis liner and it was pretty ok until the blade got dull and it wasnt as smooth as i wanted it to be as if i came from the barber Once i began to use electric and ESPECIALLY MANUAL shavors, here comes razor bumps. The multi- blade shavers are great for smooth looks and up close shaving but the irritation afterwards and ever facial killer razor bumps. it was disgusting! all over my neck and face looking like a mountain range! it was painful to touch and had to wait until it went away a week later while my hair is still growing. i hated. i was desperate, i tried nair on my face (disaster). i tried single straight blades, but had terrible technique, electric shavers are pretty expensive. and to be honest most shavers were made for caucasians,not minorities who really doesnt suffer from razor bumps. even the so called sensitive skin razors that wasnt much of a difference.

so, i went on a google search and looked up on a solution for weeks. I finally made a search of "bumpless shaver" and was brought to this product. i checked on the reviews and seen other african american reviews and were happy i found something. but the pricing point and some of the negative reviews swayed me away for a week or too. after seeing my facial hair mess in the mirror, i decided to take a chance with this believe its my last option

when i first used it i had my beard at the longest length thinking it would work. that first night it didnt do a thing. i was pissedd that i spent $50 on it. i read the manual and tried again, but once again no luck. i honestly believed that nothing would work. i immediately order for a refund and to send it back. due to work (thankfully) i wasnt able to send it back for about 4 days. during those four days i had an important event and went to the barber to clean my face up . on the morning of the 2nd day i saw that my hair was creeping out again. so i tried one more despearte attempt at this shaver. and it was as if god himself was cleaning my face. it was a miracle!!. the little stubble that was growing was gone. absolutely gone. i nearly had tears in my eyes when i saw this. but i did have some facial irriation to this shaver. i was terrified that my face was going to break out terribly because it was such a close shave to the skin and that spells out doom for my face. but nothing has popped up. Over the next couple of nights i continued to shave to prevent my hair from comming back and the irritation slowly went away as my face got used to it. i immediately cancelled my refund request and i will continue to buy this product once this one stop working.

now tips to other people:
1) you cannot shave with a full beard and think that it was take it away. look on the holes on the head. it is way too small to fit a fully grown facial hair. its a maintainer not a shaver.

2) also it is pretty noisy but unless you live inside a library, it shouldnt be that big of a problem to hear for less than 5 minutes a day

3) yes yes you pretty much have to shave everyday if u want a clean look. this is for me, other people hair growth rate varies but if it similar to mine pretty much everyday once a day in the night or morning. but less than 5 minutes would be suffice

4)this thing doesnt affect any detailed facial hair designs. i have a goatee and a strip of hair extending from the bottom of my head hair along my jawline to the goatee. it goes right past it without a hair shaved. keeps it tight and clean inbetween haircuts.

i hope everyone enjoys this review and it answers your questions about this product

4.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely the closest shave with an electric shaver thus far. And, Made in U.S.A.!!!!
Reviewed in the United States on December 22, 2016
Verified Purchase
Absolutely the closest shave with an electric shaver thus far. That is the good. The foils are expensive and very brittle, that is the bad.

I have had this shaver almost 1 month now, and have already gone through 2 foils (on my third now). If you buy this, BE SURE to buy extra foils also!

First foil started to tear where the bottom meets the plastic shell after a little over a week. My first indication of this was when the shaver "bit" me while shaving. I'm like, "OW! What the he...." and there was a tear in the foil, exposing the cutting blades inside. Ouch. Switched to the spare foil I purchased separately. That lasted about a week and a half before I dropped the shaver (due to its incredible vibration and bad grip, totally my fault), and the foil was damaged beyond repair. Now on the third foil, and ordered more from Amazon. Always have a spare!

Anyway, this shaver does use NiCd rechargeable batteries, and there is some special care needed with NiCd batteries. For starters, it is imperative that you charge this shaver before the first use. Yes, it will run immediately upon opening the box, but it is not good for the longevity of the battery. Plug it in and a bright red LED comes on to tell you it is charging. When the LED goes out, the charging is done.

You can shave for nearly a week on a single charge. And, this is important, because NiCd batteries like to be run all the way down before you recharge them. Unlike NiMh and Lithium batteries, NiCd batteries will develop a memory if not run down all the way and then charged all the way up each time. So, the 4th or 5th shave, the shaver will get pretty slow, and you may have to plug it in to finish your shave. Yes, the shaver will run off of the wall-wart just fine. It takes about 8-10 hours for a full charge.

When the shaver is running, it is quite noisy. If you have to shave while your spouse is sleeping, you may need to go in the garage to do it. Compared to a rotary shaver, the Wahl 8061 sounds like a gang of angry bees into a microphone at a Rolling Stones concert. It is quite obnoxiously loud.

The best part is how close of a shave it gives. The Wahl does give the best shave by an electric shaver EVER. Almost indistinguishable from a blade shave. Seriously. Your face will get used to it fairly quick. I have had no trouble with ingrown hairs or skin irritation as reported by some.

Why not 5 stars? Noise! Also, the high cost of replacement foils, and the fragility of them. My shaver (purchased from Amazon) did not come with a cover to put on the foil when not in use, so I can't just toss it in the drawer, it has to stay out on top of the counter next to the sink when not in use so nothing accidentally damages the foil. That is a costly mistake.

I paid full price for this baby, and I feel like it is a good value. Now, if you factor in the cost of the 3 foils I have gone through so far, it is not a good value. If the replacement foils were cheaper, then it would be an excellent value.

I read the reviews, watched the advertisement, and shaved my facial hair down with a trimmer. Wow. All I can say this is amazing precision with zero pain. My face is super smooth. Even my wife said wow. If you think you can get longer stubble with this you're wrong. It's a FINISHER. This is used to take short stubble and get an amazingly close cut. 100% recommend.

I use this for my head and its WAY better than those Skull shavers out there. I had one and it lasted about 2 months. This thing is turbo charged, it's got some power. And you can buy a new screen and head for it.

I've had this shaver before and it's been okay. For professionals it's a good starting shaver, but the battery life is low, like after a year or so the battery life dwindles to constantly needing to be charged before services, this cluttering your station

There was a “ bump in the road” as first shaver did not hold a charge. I let Amazon know and within 24 hours had another shaver. I works great

Parts of gold foil came off in the very first shave. Now shaving has become utterly uncomfortable. Replacement foil costs around Rs 2000. I will not recommend the product at all.
