I had gifted this product to my father as a late Christmas present. When he used it the first time it was perfect. He liked that the product did leave him bald. But after using it on the second time the blade started to cut him. I didn't get no warranty I'm really disappointed that it didn't even last a month. I have never encountered products that got damaged right away. Now I have to throw away $57.32 to the trash. So maybe the product was damage or its actually sensitive that it damages right away. So maybe try to put warranty on products likes this. Here are some pictures of my dads head. You have to zoom in to look at the cuts. You can tell his skin is irritated.

Very Well Designed Electric Razor!

This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
The Wahl Bump Free Electric Razor is the best electric razor that I have used. It is the first one of it’s kind that I have ever tried and it is much more aggressive and capable compared to the old 3 circle type with a flat head. I have been using it almost exclusively just because it is so much quicker and easier to use compared to using a razor and shaving cream. It gets everything off really well everywhere except for some spots under the jawline. For some reason, I have trouble getting a really close shave in spots in that area. It’s not too big of a deal just not quite as good as a razor with shaving cream. Maybe over time, I will figure out how to do better there I am not sure. I know they said something about giving yourself time to get used to it if you are switching in the instructions. I am not quite sure if that means my facial hair my ability with the tool or both. Regardless, I am very impressed with this razor it is very powerful and does a great job for an electric razor. I definitely think that the design of it is superior to others I have used and just out of pure convenience I have picked it up to shave every time I needed to since I acquired it. One time last week I used a razor with shaving cream after using this to get the hard to eliminate jawline hair and to see if it would shave any closer overall. With the exception of getting the jawline hairs, I did not notice my face being smoother anywhere else. Whether you are looking to switch over completely to an electric or just want to have another alternative for when you are in a rush the Wahl Bump Free Razor is a great choice that is equipped with a slide-up trimmer built into the back that also works well and is easy to use and access.

Great For Bald Heads

This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
Since I am bald, I need a razor that excels at giving me a whole head shave. This style of razor does just that. I usually only shave my head 3 or 4 times a week, and with this razor I am easily able to shave my head and neck.
The rubberized grip makes it comfortable to hold and use. It shaves almost as close as a manual blade. This is important to me because I have stopped using a manual blade because I got tired of occasional cuts from them. This razor is also great for times when I am in a hurry and just need a quick clean up.
The pop up trimmer works well for creating clean lines at the edges of my beard.
The battery is rated to last for about 1 hour when fully charged. I have been using it 3-4 times a week and I didn’t have to recharge for about 3 weeks.
Included is a storage bag and cleaning accessories. I really like that it includes oil because that can make a difference in cutting performance if used.

Works well on SENSITIVE SKIN, recommend.

This Razor is very strong, yet small enough to be easily portable. It cuts hair down to an extremely short length leaving behind a smooth face.
I unfortunately have extremely sensitive skin and suffer from facial razor bumps so I scrutinize shaving products as I must be very careful to avoid rash and bumps. Using this Wahl razor gave me a soft face but not so much a soft neck.
I had previous razor bumps on my neck that when shaved over created a rash that was painful. Overall, this is a great razor when used on flat surfaces, but difficult to use in the nooks and bends in the neck. Still, a pretty great razor that left me with a youthfully smooth face.
PROS
+ Powerfully demonstrates battery strength
+ Long-Hair Trimmer is convenient
+ Bag is convenient for easy storage
+ Rechargeable battery, great charge
+ Extremely close shave
CONS
-the Long-Hair Trimmer pull-out switch is difficult to activate
-Loud, but understandable give the power
-Unit is not rinsable, tricky removing head to clean
-Left neck rash on my sensitive skin
CONCLUSION
Despite the slight neck rash, the Wahl Bump-Free Rechargeable Foil Shaver clocks in as a Recommended Buy.

It's a basic shaver with line trimmer on back. No bells or whistles. Just the basics. not waterproof or wireless charging. Good beginners shaver to learn on and or travel shaver,
It comes with a travel bag and a few brushes to clean with. It works really well and doesn't pull while using. Overall I'd recommend it to others looking for their first shaver

Bump free, strong battery and clean shaving

This Wahl shaver works greats on the face and leaves no bumps at all only if you keep the beard not too high. I used also to cut my hair since we are home-bound due to COVID-19, actually, it cleans well my necklines and leaves the area smooth. It has been two weeks since I used it and it stills operating which appears that the battery lasts long. My only wish that Wahl would have added a light battery indicator that shows the percentage or even level of the battery before the next charge other than that, it is great and does shave pretty well. I loved the fact that this shaver is made in the US.

Not for me, but might work for others

I have been on this journey to find the best electric razor; I realize that this might be highly subjective. Everyone has different skin sensitivity, hair growth pattern, hair texture, etc. I have found a few that have seemed to work well, unfortunately this was not one of those.
A razor should do two things really well; easily trim down your chin whiskers and give your skin little to no irritation. The first time I used this shaver I had gone a couple of days without shaving, this is normal for me. I generally shave 2 to 3 times a week, as I don’t feel like my beard grows very quickly.
So, with 2 days' worth of growth on my face and neck, I attempted to use these. After finishing the first shave, the area under my chin and neck felt like I had a dozen paper cuts. There was no blood, but it felt like a bunch of tiny cuts all burning. The skin stayed red and irritated for a few minutes, but the pain persisted for most of that day. Most razors say that you might feel irritation on your first few shaves, so I knew that I needed to persist.
This is a good time to mention that I have been shaving exclusively with electric razors for the last 3 years, so I feel like my skin has already been accustomed to using these types of razors. I continued to use just this shaver for the next couple of weeks, which was a total of 6 shaves. While my neck and chin didn’t have the same intensity of cut feeling as the first, it was still uncomfortable. Another thing that I experienced is that sometimes it felt like the shaver was just yanking the hairs off. The hair pulling sensation happened often, even if I attempted to shave more frequently so the hairs did not have a chance to get too long.
Aside from that, the build quality of the razor seemed decent, the only exception here being that the pop-up trimmer didn’t really snap back down into place and would sometimes prevent the guard from snapping on. I also found it unusual that there was no light to show charging. The battery life seemed great; I went over a week without having to charge it.
Like I said at the beginning of this, comfort and closeness of a shave is subjective since everyone has a different face. I can only say that for my face, I don’t think this is the one for me. It might work great for someone else.

Good, but loud, value shaver

It had been a long time since I had used a foil shaver, as past experiences weren’t pleasant. This product has changed my mind about foil shavers as it gives a nice close comfortable shave, and would recommend in what is a a very crowded product segment.
Nicely weighted/size that fit my hand well.
Charged quickly but haven’t used enough to require recharging. States 60 minutes run time though.
Foil heads give a wide shaving area but I did have to go over area a couple of times. In past experiences with foil shavers, I experienced a lot of reddening/bumps but so far not with this product. Also there was no “pulling” of hairs as I have experienced with rotary headed shavers. It was a little hard to navigate around lip to nose area but eventually it gets the job done.
I am clean shaven so can’t speak to how it is to navigate around mustache or goatee. Trimmer worked well with sideburns.
Fairly easy to clean, but can be a tad tricky the first time.
Includes a travel pouch.
3-year warranty which is nice
To be used dry only.
Big negative, for me, it’s really loud when using. Hard to do an early morning shave and not wake up the wife/kids as our bathroom is open to bedroom.
Would be nice to have a small light to indicate charging/charged.
Overall, I like the shaver except for the noise. Maybe that will soften as it gets more use?

Reliable rechargable shaver
|
Posted .
This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
The Wahl Rechargable foil shaver is a reasonably priced product that works well. It has two foils that are smooth and hypoallergenic so they won’t irritate the skin. It says ‘bump free’ and that is accurate. I did not have any skin irritation or bumps at any point in shaving. The results are a pretty close shave, comparable to other shavers I’ve used. A manual razor gives a closer shave, but this does a good job. Because it’s rechargeable, you can use it without plugging it in, and get multiple uses before using the included power cord to recharge it again. It has a pretty good battery life. It fits well in my hand and is very easy to use. I tried it right out of the box, and it didn’t work nearly as well as after it was fully charged, so it’s noticeable when the battery life is low- you’ll want to recharge before it completely runs down. Fully charged and for a couple of uses after that, it works really well.
It’s a hassle-free product, just use the power button on front to turn on and off, and the button on the side for removing the cover to clean the blades and foils. To get the best shave, use both foils at an angle (they are not the same height) and don’t press hard or the foils could get damaged. I use foil shavers regularly as they are very easy to use and a quick way to shave. The user guide also gives some tips for getting a better shave, which is useful if you are new to this kind of shaver. It has some accessories for taking care of this product and a pouch to short it in. It’s not quiet but the sound and vibration are typical for shavers/razors. It also includes a 3 year warranty.
My only issue with this product was the pop-up trimmer. I like having this even though I don’t use it every time. I didn’t like the one on this shaver. I had some trouble pushing it up. The guide says it ‘telescopes up and away’ and it kind of does that. It is far enough from the foil part to use properly by itself for longer hair or detailing/shaping an area, such as a beard or mustache. It does work. I had difficulty getting it to go all the way up; it might loosen a little over time and be easier to push up and back down, but it was a little awkward to manage. It does click into place, preventing it from shifting while the shaver is on. On mine, it never goes completely flat again, the way it was before I used the trimmer. It could just be mine but it really seemed like it’s the way this part is designed. It only sticks up a small amount, 1mm or so; it bothered me that it wouldn’t quite go back in place. I have another shaver and that one never had these issues, so I will use the trimmer on that one instead. I do want the point out that the closeness of the shave was comparable, and the product works as advertised in the description on the website and on the box.
Overall it’s a very good shaver and I do recommend it, but the pop-up trimmer was a bit of a disappointment. I selected this product because it had that feature, and so this was an issue for me. If the trimmer is important to you, you might not like this one, or maybe it’ll work better for other users than it did for me. It feels like it’ll work well for a while. The main part, with the titanium foils work very well, and cleaning it is also easy. It has a 60 day money back guarantee, and a 3 year limited warranty. I’d say this is a 4 to 4.5 star product, reliable and convenient.

My other shaver is easier to use because it is waterproof so that is a big minus for the wahl shaver. The shaver does a very good job of shaving and the built in pop up trimmer is great attachment that leaves nice clean lines. The shaver does in the beginning irritate my skin but after a few weeks of use that irritation is significantly diminished, which is normal when using a new shaver with different cutting mechanism that my prior shaver.
The loss of a star is not easy to wash unit since not water proof and difficult to remove heads for rinsing. Great as travel shaver with good battery life.

Close and Smooth

This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
It shaves really close, which is the opposite of all electric shavers I have ever owned. Nothing replaces a normal blade shaver when it comes to shaving really close but I still prefer any electric shaver on a daily basis as I don’t have much patience. I wasn’t expecting much from this one but it really did much better than I expected.
On the downside, it is not completely painless. It hurt a little during my first use of it. It probably wouldn’t hurt if I had used a pre-shave oil or something of the sort but I had not experienced such a pain before except when using a slightly dull regular blade. It is also loud compared to other shavers.
On the upside, it does an excellent job, being very close to an ordinary blade, with a smooth shave. The titanium foils are nice since it doesn’t irritate my skin. No bumps and the trimmer works well. Battery lasts enough for many shaves but I noticed that when it is fully discharged, it won’t work start even when connected to power. You should follow their recommendation of charging for at least 18 hours before first use and never let it run out completely.
As for the pain I mentioned earlier, it seems that it only happens if you don’t shave daily. The last 3 times I used it, there was no pain. I just hope it lasts. It has become my daily shaving tool of choice.

Okay for tough beards and skin

This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
I have been using electric shavers since I have been shaving (many, many years!) I have used several different brands, but this is the first Wahl I have tried. The first thing I can say is this shaver is a beast. When I use it, it feels like it’s attacking my beard, which is pretty thick. This shaver is also pretty loud which I found annoying first thing in the morning. While it did a fine job on the flat areas of my face, it felt awkward to use when shaving over my chin or jaw. I had to make a few passes in those areas to get a close shave. By that time, my skin was getting irritated.
The shaver itself comes with a bag, charger and cleaning brush. It has a pop up trimmer on the back that I also found to be a bit harsh on the skin. I like that it allows you to use it while plugged in. Some shaver do not and if you forgot to charge them, you were out of luck. One other thing I noticed is that the foils are a bit thin which may lead to breakage.
Overall, this shaver does a decent job, but if you have sensitive skin, you may want to look at other options. If you have a touch beard or shave your head, this is a decent option. And if you don’t mind this being lawnmower loud, then you may like it.
