Full details
The Babyliss Super-X Metal Series Cordless Single Foil Shaver is designed for users seeking an ultra-close, irritation-free shave for light stubble and detailed grooming. Its key benefit is a smooth, fast shave that adapts to facial contours thanks to advanced Super-X performance and continuous skin contact. A potential caveat is its single foil design, which may require more passes for dense beards compared to multi-foil shavers. This shaver features Japanese steel foils for precision, a powerful lithium-ion battery offering up to 1 hour of cordless use, and is 100% waterproof for versatile wet or dry operation.

FAQs
How long does the battery last on a full charge?
A full charge provides up to 1 hour of cordless use.
Can I use this shaver in the shower?
Yes, the shaver is 100% waterproof (IPX7 rated), so you can safely use it for wet shaving with foam or gel, including in the shower.
How often should I replace the foil and cutters?
For optimal performance, it's generally recommended to replace the foil and cutters every 6 to 12 months, depending on your usage frequency and hair type.
What is the quick charge feature for?
The 10-minute quick charge provides enough power for a single shave, which is useful if you're in a hurry and the shaver is low on battery.
Does this shaver come with a charging adapter?
The shaver charges via USB-C. While it includes the USB-C cable, you will typically need to use a standard USB power adapter (like one for a smartphone) which may be sold separately or use an existing one.
How do I engage the travel lock?
Please refer to your product manual for specific instructions on engaging and disengaging the travel lock, as this varies by model. Typically, it involves holding a button or sliding a switch.
Is this shaver suitable for removing a full beard?
This shaver is designed primarily for shaving light stubble and detail work. While it can manage longer hair, it may require more passes than a multi-foil shaver for a complete beard removal.
Troubleshooting
Shaver will not turn on.
Ensure the shaver is adequately charged. Check if the travel lock is engaged; if so, disengage it. Try plugging it in via USB-C to see if it operates while charging.
Poor shaving performance or pulling sensation.
Clean the foil and cutters thoroughly, removing any hair or debris. Ensure the foil head is properly seated. If the issue persists, the foil or cutters may need replacement.
Shaver not charging.
Verify that the USB-C cable is securely connected to both the shaver and the power source. Try a different USB-C cable and power adapter. Ensure the charging port is clean and free of debris.
Excessive skin irritation.
Ensure you are using the shaver correctly, allowing the continuous skin contact feature to work. Try using shaving foam or gel for added lubrication. Make sure the foil is clean and undamaged. Avoid pressing too hard.
