Wahl Professional 8061 5-Star Series Shaver Review

Wahl Professional 8061 5-Star Series Shaver

Especially useful for men of African descent, the Wahl Professional 8061 5-Star Series Shaver delivers a bump-free shave even if they have the wiriest and curliest of hairs. Of course, even Caucasian men can have wiry hairs, particularly the beard, so that they, too, can use the Wahl shaver.

The shaver features twin gold foils that are hypoallergenic, thus minimizing, if not totally eliminating, the possibility of skin rashes and irritations. They incorporate whisker holes around which are raised inner cutting edges. Short hairs and stubbles fall into the holes and are immediately cut as close to the skin as possible.

Be sure, however, to monitor the foils' cutting edges as they do wear with use and age. To protect the foils, do not forget to cover them with the supplied Foil Guard after each use. If you think that the shaver is slowing down, or that the blades seem to feel warm as you shave, it is time to replace the foils.

The shaving head is angled forward for a more comfortable hold on the shaver while in use. It is not only used for shaving your cheeks, chin, and neck, but also the head as well as the back of the neckline.

Owing to the closeness of the shave, you need not worry about growing a 5 o'clock shadow. You can go straight to your dinner appointment from the office without needing a fresh shave.

The Wahl Professional 8061 5-Star Series Shaver runs either cordless on a rechargeable battery, or with a cord plugged into a standard 120-volt 60 Hz electric power outlet. A wall plug charger comes with the shaver for battery charging.

You will also need to clean the shaver with the cleaning brush that comes with the machine to ensure a smooth and bump-free shave.

Its dimensions are 2.5 x 1.2 x 5, all in inches. It weighs about 8 ounces.
