Barber Tool Review: Andis Profoil Lithium AND Wahl Shaver Shaper
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 31 дек 2024
- In this video I give my thoughts on the Wahl Shaver Shaper and Andis Profoil lithium. I also give my preference in response to questions asked by subscribers.
To Purchase On Amazon:
Wahl Shaver Shaper - amzn.to/1NHpmeC
Andis Profoil Lithium - amzn.to/1NHpnz7
The Andis is most definitely a better more powerful shaver and it also cuts closer and eats the hair faster. I have used both and have been cutting for over 15 years and the Andis hands down is better. The Wahl foils are very delicate and get holes in them very easy and the Andis don't. Go with the Andis for sure on this one.
+A.G. Moore Please do yourself a favor and go to eBay and check out the Braun Series 3-340s Wet/Dry Shaver.
+A.G. Moore got them both and the Braun is not even close.
A.G. Moore thanks bro i just bought andis shavers
A.G. Moore the only andis shaver that gets holes in the foil essily is the superliner shaver head guys. Judt a random note
Thank you Sir! You saved me 10:25 minutes of my life. Went straight to the comment section and took your advice. And i love my Andis profoil
I purchased the Andis yesterday. I had purchased the Wahl's first but returned them the same day. I tested them on my hand and didn't like the results. I returned them and of course went with the Andis. I am very satisfied with the results. I got that Lou Gossett Jr now. Haha Great review. Stay blessed sir.
Ok good deal buddy. Thanks for the video and for the information, and personal experience. It's the real life honest personal experiences and testimonies that really help viewers make informed decisions. Thanks again 👍
I really appreciate all your reviews and videos CleanCutz. They are all very helpful and professional. I like that you review a lot of clipper/trimmers that don't often get reviewed. It can be tough to find detailed, thought out opinions on the products us barbers use on a daily basis. Your so right about disinfecting these foils. I've never seen another barber/stylist here in my city ever disinfect their foils. I always do my best to insure everything I used during a haircut is clean and safe for the next client. It is something that is so important, that few do consistently and properly. Keep the videos coming man, your doing great things and you'll go places!!
I'm so happy you showed the sound difference. I have that Wahl. Very quickly after I bought is got unbearably loud. On a scale from 1 to 10 It was 11. Don't know how to fix it, or is there no hope?
got the wahl custom shave, used then for the 1st tonight. Even tho they cut to the skin very close, they left a lot of strays on my head. I was a little disappointed but I did take then straight fr the box and went to work with them only on factory charge with 3 day growth and with out hair conditioning, so I know I can get a better cut . booklet says charge 18hrs before 1st use and that cut get better with more uses on the skin, so I think they could turn out to be great shavers with proper use and technique.
+boogie27896 Great advice. Thank you.
The Andis is quieter because the foils oscillate in opposite directions, counteracting the force of each other and thus reducing vibration/noise.
Is that rly true? If that’s true u are super cool and thank u
Thank you for your review. After reading and watching so many reviews on wahls vs andis none really help me make a decision. But after watching your great, detailed review I decided to purchase the andis
I would like to thank you from the bottom of my heart for your time and consideration, answering everything that I had in my mind. Also for guys like myself, I have a very thick would you agree that Andis will do a great job with me or should I just stay with blades and handle the pain?
Sincerely
this review was very helpful. bought the Wahl....but been debating getting the Andis....gonna replace , and get the Andis asap
Great video Bro and review I just ordered my auntie a Andis Shaver she had a wahl shaver shaper and foil kept breaking pretty quick and finally battery went out so I recommended this one to her Im thinking of getting one for myself later on when my wahl shaver goes out
+Fred Garza Can't go wrong with either one. I think the foils break because people press too hard. They aren't made for that so they catch a bad rap for breaking. I think my motto is to own AT LEAST one of everything (even if it's not my favorite product) so that way if I find a perfect use for it, I will have it. I intend on keeping both of these on deck at all times. If Wahl doesn't fix my shaver/shaper, I'll buy another one and be more careful about charging it.
Yeah I hear you every time I loan it to fellow students I let them know to not press and be careful with it cause foil can break and cut a client
You are a better man than me. Loaning out tools is not something I do. Supplies such as neck strips etc are fine, but if you come in on Tuesday after turning up all weekend, and every break time you come back in smelling like green nugs, you need to cop some tools. I can't afford to replace them if you mess them up. Nobody takes care of my tools like me. Heck, I don't see the majority of people oil or disinfect. Be careful loaning your tools out bro. My mentor forbade me to do it.
I am trying to achieve a close shave with the Andis Profoil Shaver.
1. Before you shave do you treat the head with anything? (hot towel, brush it the opposite way, put any oil, balm, lotion, etc. on)
2. While shaving do you use cicular motion, do you stretch the skin?
3. After you are done do you use alcohol, astringent, balm, oil, etc. If so what kind?
4. How do you clean the shaver?
I have been thinking about getting one of these. Thanks for the tip (circular motion, don't mash light touch)
Haven't forgotten about the shave oil question by the way. Just taking some time.
+BlackTowelBarber Please do yourself a favor and go to eBay and check out the Braun Series 3-340s Wet/Dry Shaver.
Nice video man. Also the newer version of the Wahl Shaver (Yellow Button) only works while its charged. If you want to use the adapter while the battery is running low it will not work to its full potential.
The older version (black button) works to its full potential while being charged and plugged in.
+Jon Varbero Mine worked perfectly fine while plugged in.
+CleanCutz Really? that's interesting because the older version as its dying when I plug it in it comes back to life.
the newer version with the yellow button doesnt. I mean itll still turn on but wont come back to its full potential if i plug it in.
thanks for the feedback. will have to ask around to see if this issue is only w me.
The Wahl heads break a lot.. I've replaced my head 8 times in 3 years. Last head lasted 6 haircuts.. Just bought the andis.. I like that you can remove the cutting blades on the wahl to clean it thoroughly though
quick question, i hope someone that knows would be able to reply:
i am very interested in the Andis shaver but not so much for my head or beard, more so for my shoulders, lower neck and upper back because i get hair there a lot and am looking at my options for dealing with it. this shaver looks awesome but im just unsure if it'll work for the main reasons that i want it for. i would appreciate the help thanks.
Alcxy you’ll still need to take it down with another trimmer at which point the shaver would probably work fine
@@BelieverBarber awesome i appreciate the reply, i have ordered one and im excited to try it out!
YOU KILLED ON THIS ONE, 4REAL!!!
EXCELLENT REVIEW 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
For head shaving, which foil shave would you recommend? I currently own a £10 portable Remington rotary shave that does the job and gives me a closer shave than razors (after duly using hair clippers) but I can't help but think foil shavers would do the job faster, the problem is, there are far too many options to choose from.
YOU KILLED ON THIS ONE, 4REAL!!!
EXCELLENT REVIEW!!!
I work for Sally Beauty and its been 2 barbers who said the Andis one is way better! The only con is that at Sallys both shavers are $71.99 each!
+DhaniBlue I put a link in the comments to buy on Amazon for around $50
Really helpful review, thank you for posting. Have you noticed any more issues with razor bumps using the Andis vs the Wahl? I ask because you said it cuts closer than the Wahl, and sometimes closer can cause more bumps.
+Dre I have not had anyone report any bumps after using the Andis ProFoil. Conversely, I didn't have that problem with my Wahl either. I don't press hard, and I dont move the machine fast. I take it slow and allow the machine to do all of the work and I think it really helps the bump issue.
Gotcha, thanks. You do a nice job with the vids keep it up.
Great review! I just bought the Andis and I love it. I see that Wahl has now released a pro model. Have you used/reviewed it yet?
@cleancutz How do I know it's time to replace the foil on my shaver, or the cutters.... Or both?
I seen this video before picking my shaver, I am glad there is people doing these reviews, hope to hear from you soon
+Francisco Flores Please do yourself a favor and go to eBay and check out the Braun Series 3-340s Wet/Dry Shaver.
True I brought the 5 star first then the foil break easy and the middle support stick break off easy, andis shaver is a lot quieter they really are and very easy on the skin, performance goes to andis, quite goes to andis, smoothness goes to andis, easy to clean taking the moving parts for cleaning goes to Wahl foils.
+Ricky Reine Please do yourself a favor and go to eBay and check out the Braun Series 3-340s Wet/Dry Shaver.
i like your reviews i never feel like i just wasted 5 or 10mins of my time. how often would you replace the foil and cutters for daily head balding?? also do you think the cool care spray is necessary?
Thanks for your insight on these shaver man.
Have you tried the Babyliss Foil shaver (the FX02)?
Thanks for your thoughts. I'm looking to get one to shave with. Bought a safety razor and I've gotten razor bumps out the wazoo. Question, when you say that this cuts lower than the Wahl, do you mean below the skin? I want as close of a shave as I can get, but I don't want to cut below the skin else razor bumps all over again.
Either will take it down to the pore almost
+Adrian Thomas Please do yourself a favor and go to eBay and check out the Braun Series 3-340s Wet/Dry Shaver. As a person of color I have suffered with shaving bump issues in the past but not anymore
I can't seem to find that shaver for a cheap price. Can you send me a link? it would be much appreciated
+DanTheMan here you go www.ebay.com/itm/Braun-Series-3-340s-340s-4-Wet-Dry-Electric-Shaver-Electric-Mens-Razor-/252404570561?hash=item3ac47c19c1:g:rXgAAOSwoudW7iWe
Hmm; idk I can’t decide there both amazing. I Love both Andis and Wahl, but if I had to choose I might pick Andis.
First review I've seen that said the andis gave a closer shave. Most people prefered the Wahl...
Which would you think is better quality and does a better job the whall finale or andis profoil lithium
Thoughts on braun series 3 foil shavers? how come barber shops dont use them.
Andis pro foil vs Wahl Professional 8110 5-star Series Balding Clipper for balding out the head?
Can you use it on light wet head when getting a skin fade?
Can use this on body parts??
You KILLED on this one!!!!!
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
What oil can I use best for the andis shaver??
How would the and is shaver compare to the likes of a Braun shaver (series 7 or 9)?
+Game Time I wouldn't know because I have never used one bro
braun series 9 hands down. it's the smoothest and cuts really great.
How do you take off the blade on these
Which one its better for alergic skin, and shave close especally at the neck? i have a lot razor bumps on the neck...Thank you for your answer !:)
Andis better
@cleancutz i just bought this shaver and used it on my neck with a 5 o'clock shadow stubble and it actually cut my skin pretty bad and gave me real bad bumps and irritation. maybe i was using it wrong or maybe the foils/blades were defective? before i take it back for a refund i'd greatly appreciate your feedback.
+Jose' Antonio when you say "this shaver", I'm not sure what you mean. I reviewed 2 of them here and endorsed them both. I've never heard of anyone "cutting" themselves "pretty bad". But I do see a bunch of spam on my videos with regards to people checking out a braun shaver lol... If you got cut, I would definitely send it back.
+CleanCutz I was talking about the andis profoil. and the shaver just nicked me numerous times and gave me bad bumps afterwards but I just returned it today.
bro. I lost the cord to my Andis shaver. can't find a replacement online. can you recommend where I can get one? thank you.
+Mikey Medrano I wish I could! I had the same issue, but one of my shavers had to go back and I accidentally kept the charger so I was just lucky enough to have the spare when I lost mine.
+CleanCutz damn lol. thank you anyway. love the videos bro. very helpful and inspirational homie.
Thanks man, I appreciate you.
i've had to replace the foil on the wahl shaver about 3 times.
Daniel Sosa pressing too hard. Let the machine do the work
another great video keep them coming and good luck in school! peace!
Is andis good for shaving a full face ?
I own both and I agree 100%
Awesome review bro!!
+Howard W. Thank you bro
am I the only one that owns andis tools that isint a barber?
Kevin Teran i own andis tools too and im not one
Nope.
Do you have any clients with sensitive skin? And if so has the wahl ever made them bump up?
+Wesley Ryder Please do yourself a favor and go to eBay and check out the Braun Series 3-340s Wet/Dry Shaver. They have figured out that issue...You can also review their new series but they are a bit more expensive
First remember Braun is not a clipper company their focus is on creating the best shaving experience for all types of skin. As a person of color I would often get bumps from shavers. Some clients did with Andis and Wahl shaver too. But after seeing he Braun 3 series (340s) in action at a shop I then bought one and primarily used it on my face and to bald out skin area. I was and still am amazed at the results.

While I totally respect your review let's dig a little deeper to discuss if either of these two options are viable choices. Like myself, the reason why many new barbers and stylists opt to buy either one is because for the most part we are following what we see others do! These two companies may make great clippers but they are not shaver manufacturers. If you want a GREAT product that will deliver the results you need go to a company that focuses on that targeted result.
After buying the Wahl shaver and going through 3 ripped foils, I was determined to make another purchased but for a more stable shaver.
I noticed the guy I shadow (at his shop) using something I'd never seen but I ignored it and began to ask the other barbers who were using the Andis shaver. They gave nice reviews but I still felt they were really saying "it's better than the Wahl shaver" vs let me tell you why this is a superior made shaver.
So I turned to see my mentor using his shaver and noticed the power and precision it displayed while in use. It ran very quiet both on dry and damp hair too.
I discovered he was using the Braun Series 3-340s Wet/Dry Shaver . Braun is an experienced shaving manufacturer that is know for delivering professional grade products.
Now please note: They now have the Series 9 shaving line but I don't need that. The Series 3 out performs the Wahl or Andis already plus I can save money by purchasing this older model. I bought mine on eBay for $25 including shipping.
I now have two (one for personal use). Now you will never have to deal with over paying for inferior results...
Go ahead search ebay and see yourself....
We have to sometimes think outside the box to get the best results
Lol you're persistent. Thanks for offering your experience.
Which one should I get man? Do you have any recomendation on which one cuts the closest?
+DiSean Earl-Taylor They cut the same on closeness in my opinion. I would go with Andis because they are a little quieter and because the foils seem to be thicker. But really either are great. I have both and use both regularly.
Great review
Thanks!
Thank you great review.
Andis profoil lithium vs Wahl Finale?? 🤔
whoabenji Wahl Finale Would Win
Wahl didn't Last long
I used both of them, Andis alot better I returned The Wahl shaver don't waist your time just buy Andis
Every comment i read said go with the andis...so i went with the wahl finale 😆
Sweet. this could come in handy
Curious if it takes it just as low when dry shaving the face?
As long as your facial hair isn't any longer than stubble
Are you supposed to oil these ??
No just clean them
brandon Hrabal yes barbers always oil it before they use it on someone
thx man its helpfully info
You KILLED on this one, 4REAL!!!!
Thanks alot for this video
no worries if I'm gonna buy some might as well be from someone I follow online. Better to a fellow RUclipsr then some beauty supply store.
Did you just call me a "RUclipsr"? Lolol just playing bud I'm grateful for the support.
+CleanCutz yeab my little brother called me a youtuber the other day and I as like "okay I guess by definition I am." He is 9 and has since stared his own channel
everybody got a channel lol
Bruh you make good ass videos
traduccion al español porfavor XD :(
Yes, the andis will go past skin, it will shave your bones to the marrow
the Andis is so much better than the wahl its not even funny... the build quality alone seals the deal...
k
Andis over whal on this one
+Cristian Navarro I deff use my Andis more.
+Cristian Navarro Please do yourself a favor and go to eBay and check out the Braun Series 3-340s Wet/Dry Shaver.
CleanCutz.. 1st thing, I love your videos very informative and great opinions from each product... but I tell you this from the noisy Wahl... The loudest one in the room is the weakest one in the room, many people compare also from Andis vs Wahl, in my opinion Andis are by far better than Wahl, it's like you can compare a better college as Harvard to a good state college. Andis are pros and more into the barbering hair profession but don't give me wrong Wahls are good but at the end, everybody wants the best no matter what, it's better to pay a little extra more in price but at least you are buying the best quality that is going to help the barber to make the best quality cuts he/she can ever make. Also come on people stop being a cheap ass bastard, what's paying 10-20 bucks more? it's not going to make you any poor... fuck sake, people spend that much in a 6 pack beer or cigarettes ? now that's stupid paying that much for nothing in return than paying that much extra that it's going to make money in your investment for a good quality product.
What's ur IG?
+Casey Rybacs @cleancutztha1
These are both STOOOOOPID loud.
But Andis all the way. Oster for cordless bulk clippers >
Oster cordless huh?
Wahl it’s soo good better than andis
You will pay so much for the foils it ain't worth it
