![]() ![]() I also started shaving my beard with it and I have to say I am very surprised on how well it shaves! Just wanted to start this thread for people who are looking into head shaving solution, to look at foil razors as well. ![]() ![]() The only drawback so far are the placement of the on/off button (I would have preferred in the middle), hard to keep it smudge-free but those are minor issues. Foil & Blade replacements are not too pricey it seems (though unsure how long these will last) BBS feel of a DE/Cartridge razor (yes BBS!) Obviously I've only had this razor for just a few days, so I can't really say how this razor will work long term but I have to say that I am very impressed so far by its: I was leaning toward the Wahl at first, but after finding out that barbers have to replace the foil every so often, I decided to choose between Braun 7/9 series, Andis Pro Foil and Babyliss Pro and finally went for the latter. Ideally all of these work at difference price points, and they all have their pros/cons - you can read Amazon reviews, but I wanted to get the point of view from Professional Barbers and not a generic website or people who just shave their own head daily, you can look online but there are very few videos but this one was pretty spot on (there are some others as well) Surprisingly I saw that not enough posts or videos talk about foil razors (good old Braun series our fathers use), so I started looking/reading about those and chatting with a few barbers online who gave me their very invaluable pointers. I looked at Clippers, mostly Oster 76 or 10 with 00000 & Andis 000000 blades & Wahl 5 stars Balding clippers, but realized I don't like a corded solution, and since I was shaving my head every other 2-3 days I wanted a solution that worked well with those short subtle hairs and if I could get a BBS feel then better. So I started reading/posting here as well as reddit to find another electrical solution. Soon I realized that the 4 months blade life being advertised is more like a month, because the head hair is denser and the price of those blades could add-up. I was really happy with that device, it would give me a decent head shave w/ ATG strokes but not a BBS. I re-sprained my ankle requiring me to sit & shave and I started looking for alternatives because I couldn't do preparations as much so tried the OneBlade from Philips. As such, I welcome constructive criticism/advise from professional electricians.Because of the Pandemic I've started shaving my head, I started with DE Razors, mostly Feather ASD2 (Feather Blade) & Rockwell 6S (#4 with Feather Blade), and using Mach3 Cartridge every once in a while. Note that some electrical short potential (power) may still return via the neutral, particularly if there are issues with the appliance’s and/or the building’s electrical wiring.ĭisclaimer: I am not a professional electrician. The ground wire also prevents overload of the neutral wire by keeping electrical shorts off the neutral wire and routing it to ground in the building’s electrical system. ![]() The grounded system is preferred as it will provide better protection against a short that might energize the metal parts and pose a shock hazard if touched. The grounded system contains a dedicated third wire (bare wire or insulated in green sleeve) which grounds the metal parts and metal housing (these trimmers have a composite housing, but exposed metal is grounded, such as the blades). In alternating current (AC) the neutral wire (white in color) completes the circuit and returns the “excess/unused” power back to the main panel/grid AND also acts as a ground in case of electrical short. If I may, I don’t know how much a three-prong electrical power cord makes in terms of “stability.” In terms of electrical power, the difference between a two-prong and a three-prong power cord, is that the two prong is a polarized system versus the three prong, which is a grounded system. ![]()
