This handheld foil shaver from BaBylissPRO packs professional-grade trimming into a compact cordless body, aimed at close face and head finishes while traveling or at home. It offers the convenience of a portable, metal-cased shaver with long battery life and a design intended to reach tight areas around the neck and behind the ears.
Key Points
The METALFX double foil shaver uses hypoallergenic black titanium foils for a close, comfortable shave and a double-foil offset system with two counter-cut blades for improved cutting efficiency. Its high-speed motor runs at 9,500 rpm, which the manufacturer cites as supporting smooth, consistent performance across multiple passes. The unit is cordless with up to 3 hours of runtime according to the manufacturer and includes a hard metal case plus a storage pouch for travel. Consider that, as with most foil shavers, very long or dense hair may require a prior trim for best results.

Benefits
This shaver emphasizes skin comfort and reduced irritation through the hypoallergenic titanium foils. The dual-foil layout and counter-cut blades work together to lift and cut short stubble closely, which is useful for achieving a smooth finish on the face, hairline, and neck. The compact metal body feels sturdy in the hand and offers protection during travel. Because it has a dedicated cap that stops the device when placed, it reduces accidental activation when packed.
Usage Recommendations
For best results, use after trimming longer hair with clippers to avoid clogging the foils. Work with short, light passes against the grain for a closer result, and keep the shaver at a slight angle to follow head contours. The small head and slim profile help access difficult spots, including around the ears and under the jawline. Clean the foils and cutter regularly following the manufacturer’s maintenance suggestions, and store the unit in the metal case or pouch to protect the blades on the go.
Note: the runtime and performance figures are provided by the manufacturer. This model may not be the most efficient option for dense, untrimmed beards if used as the only grooming tool.
