On the cheeks, chin and below the nose it was fine most of the time, but again, I tried not to be sloppy and only use light pressure and short, controlled strokes.

There's also an upgrade to the shaver's body, with the TS-2 having a soft-grip surface for a more secure, comfortable feel, integrated into its well-balanced, ergonomic casing. Couple that with its compact shape and light weight (140 grams) and you've got a shaver that won't tire out your hand however many fades and shaves you do. Both use two staggered foil cutters, both are similar in terms of design and functionality, both work corded and cordless and the performance will also be quite similar. You’ll probably only get a closer shave by using a blade, which comes with its own (major) shortcomings.

The Andis ProFoil Lithium Titanium Foil Shaver was designed to only do a specific thing well, and that is cutting short hair close to the skin. The charger bundled with the Andis ProFoil is really compact, probably the smallest I’ve seen with any electric razor. And it may not seem like a big deal at first, but at least for me, this was the most annoying thing about the ProFoil during my testing. I have also read about the SkullShaver Pitbull, but it is rather pricey from my perspective, where my perspective starts from having 3 fully functioning foil shavers, including the above mentioned Panasonic which is only one and a half years old, and all of the three are “unemployed” a the moment. The one thing that stand out with the Pitbull is the handle, how you hold the Pitbull in your hand/palm and let it glide over your head until your done, seems very easy and comfortable, but I doubt the actual shaving results, what it in the end is all about, will be that different, and justify the price from my current perspectivce, compared to any of the Braun/Panasonic foil shavers I already own, perhaps not as easy to hold, but they should without a doubt glide over the head on their foil, on short stubble hair if used weekly, without any risk. So the question is if I really, really need a fourth foil from Andis or not. Probably not. But it sounds so tempting that it shaves really, really close, and that your professionall barber includes it as part of his toolbox. Reply I really need to stop reading about shavers as you always want to try some of them out that one finds interesting, which is impossible before buying. But while looking and researching. I found that the best local price of the Andis is €140, which is way too much as it is not a high-end shaver by any means, except that it seems to provide a high-end shaving result.

I used the ProFoil for a couple of weeks almost exclusively and the cleaning was fiddly and a bit time-consuming — definitely more annoying than in the case of my other foil razors. I do not shave my head, but my barber actually uses a ProFoil and I can honestly say that it gets as close as a razor blade. The good part is that the foils and blades are reasonably priced, so even if you’ll change them more often, your cost of ownership won’t be that high. The foils come with the Andis branded plastic frame as well, so the whole foil assembly will be replaced.

Who will process data?

The set costs just marginally more and you won’t get the best performance out of the shaver by using a new foil and a worn pair of blades.

Locally the Wahl sells for €120, the Andis for €140, and the BabYlissPro for €150. A bit weird pricing, paying premium price for those two with plastic bodies. Would be fun if you could get your hands on theat BabYlissPro and see what you think about it. What are these type of foil shavers called ? They are not exaclty similar in design to Braun, Panasonic etc. They are similar to the design of the more simple “travellers” electric shavers, but there must be a better name. Reply So the takeaway is that you should replace them when the performance of your ProFoil drops significantly and it’s not able to provide a decent level of comfort and closeness. Wrapup—Who should buy the Andis ProFoil? Secondly, I got significantly better results, both with regards to closeness and the time it took me to complete my shave when using the Andis ProFoil on short hair. Not only it will just leave behind the flat-lying hairs, but you may even experience some pinching and the hairs getting yanked. It is very clear that they are sharing the very same design. Some people in the comment section under the second video seems to believe that it was an unfair comparison and that the Adis was “old”, used etc. But there indeed is a real difference between them as one can hear on the noise as well, as you noted in your review Ovidiu, the Andis does have a 9000 stroke per minute motor, while the BabYlissPro, based on my research is said to have an 11 000 stroke per minute motor. So that should make some difference. One con for the BabYliss is that it got a NiMH-battery, while the Andis got a Lithum-ion one. But the BabYliss still provides up to 180 minutes of run time. Very good.However, Titanium has a grayish color, so most likely the coating on the foil is actually Titanium Nitride, which has in fact a gold color.
