Andis 17150(TS-1) Pro Foil Lithium Titanium Foil Shaver, Cord/Cordless, Gray

Product Information

Because it shaves very close and it actually works better on softer hair — like the one on the head — the Andis ProFoil would be ideal for shaving the head. This electric shaver can be used with a cord or battery to ensure prolonged use of the equipment. Its ergonomic design ensures a firm and stable grip with an LED light showing the battery level, meaning you can connect it to power before it runs out of juice. This concludes my review of the Andis ProFoil Titanium shaver. If you have any questions, make sure to post them in the comments below. Andis ProFoil (17150) vs Profoil Plus Titanium (17200) Looking for an alternative? We have also reviewed (and loved) the Hammacher Schlemmer Bald Head Shaver and the Skull Shaver Pitbull Gold PRO. Something like a Skull Shaver Pitbull will be a lot easier to use, but it won’t shave quite as close as the Andis.

So far I’ve only talked about what makes a foil shaver great and I haven’t mentioned anything about their shortcomings. And that leads us to the next use case where the Pro Foil actually excels — using it as a head shaver. I also noticed that whenever I shaved after a few days, there’ll be a clear change in the way the motor sounds, the shaver would vibrate a lot and the hair clippings would fly all over the place. If that is the case and you still want a foil razor, I think investing in a more advanced Braun shaver would be the right decision (Series 8 or 9 depending on the budget). It rids that classic overhead hold and numerous blade design for something a little more familiar to guys who consider themselves regulars at their barbers. It’s very much like your best beard trimmer in terms of size and grip but a little more on the boxier side. In addition, the device is extremelylightweight.

Why are we processing data?

Blades and Blade head – Being a foil shaver means it has blades/cutters within the head that are covered with two foils that work together, cutting hair when it passes through the small holes. The dual foils on this shaver are gold colored titanium and the makers state they’re hypoallergenic. These foils stagger, with one being higher up than the other.

Almost all modern electric shavers are pretty easy to clean manually if you can rinse them with water. 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. Andis's upgrade to their popular TS-1 titanium foil shaver. Like the original, it features gold-titanium, hypoallergenic foil for a comfortable shave and staggered-head blades for exceptional closeness. Also, by using straight, shorter strokes as opposed to circular overlapping motions you have more precision compared to a rotary razor. You’ll probably only get a closer shave by using a blade, which comes with its own (major) shortcomings.Also, it’s one of the better choices for men who also shave their head and don’t want a separate tool for that. Some foil electric shavers have difficulties when shaving a longer beard and you will need to work harder to capture all the hairs, especially if they grow in different directions. I personally removed the blades and foil head and sprayed them with a spray cleaner and lubricant for electric shavers. In this video, I give my full review of the Andis Profoil Lithium Titanium Foil Shaver, model 17150 vs the Five Star Series Wahl Finale. I compare the features of the Andis electric shaver vs Wahl Finale foil shaver and demonstrate the results in a head-to-head shave off.

The performance of the ES-LA63AA is remarkable for its price, making it a great deal in terms of cost and performance. If anyone does a lot of home haircutting and trimming, then this is a great addition to improving their barbering skills and getting a finer finish for their family’s haircut.Visually, the Andis Profoil Lithium Plus kind of spooked me. The look of it is very similar to my beard trimmer, but it also felt way too professional for me to be using on my head. I’ve only ever shaved with a straight razor and an average-looking bald head shaver in the past, so this was a new experience for me in terms of visual aesthetics. That’s quite a short period of time compared to other brands that claim between 12 and 18 months of use. That said, Wahl specifically recommends that the foils will need to be replaced often and the cutter bar periodically. 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.

Now, while Andis indicates that their foil is Titanium, Wahl indicates that their gold foil is micro-thin and will wear with use which will be indicated if your shaver slows down and the foils start to get warm. If you have hair that grows in different directions, you’ll have to adjust the direction of your stroke more often and always approach the hair against the grain. Comfort Using two rolling gold titanium foil heads, this bald head shaver runs over your head effortlessly without cutting your head up. It has a clean design that looks effective from afar and overtly professional. It’s the kind of buzzer you take out of the box and think to yourself, “am I qualified enough to own this?”In terms of the hold, it doesn’t feel like it’s made for those doing at-home haircuts. Sure, if you are giving someone a haircut at home, this baby would be absolute dynamite. But using solo in the bathroom to buzz your own head? It simply doesn’t feel correct. The Verdict: Shave Your Friend’s Head, Not Your Own
