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

Product Information

A reminder that these were meant to be used as finishing shavers. If you use them on longer hair, the cutters will jam and you might ruin them. For optimal results, use them on hair that’s 1/32″ (0.8mm) or shorter.

The foils come with the Andis branded plastic frame as well, so the whole foil assembly will be replaced. The Wahl finale can be an important finishing appliance to ensure your hair has a good look and finish. The machine’s blade provides a 0.1 mm shave giving it that flawless look. Moreover, the shaver can be suitable for people who suffer from bumps during shaving. It comes with a protective cover that you can put onto the foils when not in use. And a single button at the side releases the heads to enable you to carry out maintenance such as cleaning, oiling or replacement of the foils and heads. 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. 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.

Also, if you’ll mainly use it on your head, the foil and blades should last longer as the hair on the scalp is nowhere near as coarse as the one on the face. Not only it will just leave behind the flat-lying hairs, but you may even experience some pinching and the hairs getting yanked. And as a result, it doesn’t really have any real competition in this price range except for the Wahl Finale and Andis’ own Andis Lithium Plus Titanium (17200). Of course for barbers that need a good tool for skin fades and tapers and beards with face work then it’s a no-brainier and a must-have. I felt like the guy in SpongeBob SquarePantsthat says “72 hours later” when something in the series is taking too long.

There’s no need to lubricate the blades according to the manufacturer, but I don’t think it would hurt.

These products have people talking.

Precisely, it supposedly features a Gold titanium hypo-allergenic foil for irritation-free shaving.

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 Andis ProFoil Lithium Titanium Shaver uses a pair of internal blades and a foil assembly that must be changed every 6 months according to the manufacturer.Although this shaver has a sturdy build, care should be practiced to ensure the durability of the equipment. On top of that, the shaver has an extra thin foil, which makes it prone to damage. A smooth rhythmic movement should be used to ensure the film’s longevity, which will also give better results. Every professional groomer should have this equipment as part of the finishing process for an amazing finish. Handle/Body – The shaver body has a kind of 1970s retro look to it and does not look like many of our modern-day shavers. There is not much going on in terms of ergonomics. The lightweight unit weighs less than 5 ounces (140g).
