BaByliss PRO · 4Artists FoilFX

BaByliss PRO FoilFX02 Chameleon is the FoilFX02 double foil shaver, in a metal casing with a chameleon effect. The iridescent color changes depending on the angle from which you view it. Technically, it is the same shaver as the FoilFX02, made for skin fades, bald caps, and clean contours.

What it does for you

• Fade down to the skin and erase any transition lines.
• Shave close to the skin without irritation, with ultra-thin, floating, and offset foils.
• Cover more in one pass, with a 44 mm shaving area.
• Cut quickly: the rotary DC motor makes 11,000 blade movements per minute.
• Work corded or cordless: up to 3 hours on battery, after 3 hours of charging.
• Turns off automatically when you put on the protective cap.

How to use it at home

1. Before first use, charge it for 3 hours continuously, with the switch on O.
2. Shorten the hair to under 1 mm with a contour trimmer.
3. Remove the cap, move the switch to I, and hold the shaver perpendicular to the skin.
4. Move it gently against the direction of hair growth, without pressing. Stretch the skin with your fingers on the neck.
5. Turn it off, press the side button, remove the shaving head, and brush the blades.
6. Weekly, rinse only the shaving head under a stream of water and let it dry.

For what type of work

It is for skin fades, bald caps on very short hair, and cleaning the neck and facial hair. It is suitable for barbers who want a shaver that stands out on the work table. It does not cut long hair. If you have sensitive skin, test it on your arm first.

Specifications

What else you need

• FXRF2CE Chameleon foil and blade replacement set
• BaByliss PRO 4-in-1 blade maintenance spray
• Boost+ Chameleon SkeletonFX contour trimmer, in the same finish

ProBeauty tip. Wipe the casing only with a damp cloth, without harsh detergents, as required by the manual. This keeps the chameleon finish clean.

BaByliss PRO FoilFX02 Gold is the double foil shaver from the 4Artists range, with an all-metal body in a gold finish. Use it after the contour trimmer when you want smooth skin for fades, on the neck or cheeks. It does not cut, it only shaves very short hair.

What it does for you

• Leaves your skin smooth on fades and along the neckline, without irritation, thanks to the ultra-thin, floating foils.
• Follows the shape of the head: the two foils are offset and "hug" the contours of the head and face.
• You finish faster, with a 44 mm shaving area and a motor delivering 11,000 blade movements per minute.
• It does not leave you halfway: up to 3 hours on battery power, then continue with the 3 m cable.
• It stops when the cap is fitted, so you won't leave it switched on in your bag.

How to use it at home

1. The first time, charge it for 3 hours continuously, with the switch set to O. The battery reaches its maximum capacity after 3 charge and discharge cycles.
2. Shorten the hair to under 1 mm with a contour trimmer before shaving.
3. Remove the cap, switch on the device and hold it perpendicular to the skin.
4. Move it gently against the direction of hair growth, without applying pressure. Stretch the skin with your fingers on the neck and under the jaw.
5. Turn it off, press the side button, lift the foil unit and brush the hair off the blades.
6. Weekly, rinse the shaving head under running water, let it dry and snap it back into place.

For what type of work

It is suitable for skin fades, clean shaves on very short hair, cleaning the neck and stray hairs on the face. It is not for grown-out beards or long hair. If you have sensitive skin or allergies, test it first on a small area of your arm or leg.

Specifications

What else you need

• FXRF2GE foil and blade replacement set for FoilFX02 Gold
• BaByliss PRO 4-in-1 blade maintenance spray
• SkeletonFX Gold contour trimmer, from the same gold collection

ProBeauty tip. Once every six months, if you do not use it often, charge it for 3 hours: this way the NiMH battery retains its capacity. When you are not using it, leave the switch on O.

The BaByliss PRO FoilFX02 Gunsteel is a double foil shaver with an all-metal body from the 4Artists range. It is designed for barbers who create skin fades and clean up contours, but works just as well at home. It shaves close to the skin on very short hair; it is not made for long beards.

What it does for you

• Shaves close to the skin without pressure: the two ultra-thin, floating, offset foils follow the contours of the head and face.
• Covers more in one pass, with a 44 mm shaving area.
• Hypoallergenic titanium foils, for a smooth shave with less irritation.
• Works corded or cordless: up to 3 hours of runtime after 3 hours of charging.
• Cuts quickly: the rotary DC motor makes 11,000 blade movements per minute.
• Stops when you put the cap on, and the shaving head is easily removed for cleaning.

How to use it at home

1. Before first use, charge it for 3 hours straight with the switch in the O position. The charging indicator lights up.
2. If the hair is over 1 mm long, trim it first with a contour trimmer. The shaver is for finishing only.
3. Remove the cap, move the switch to I, and hold the device perpendicular to the area you are shaving.
4. Move it gently against the direction of hair growth. In hard-to-reach areas, stretch the skin with your fingers. Do not press.
5. At the end, turn it off, press the side button, remove the shaving head, and clean the blades with the included brush.
6. Once a week, rinse only the shaving head under running water and leave it open to dry.

What type of work it is for

It is for finishing: skin fades, close shaves on very short hair, the neckline, and stray hairs on the face. It does not replace a hair clipper or contour trimmer for hair longer than 1 mm. If you have sensitive skin, test it on a small area of your arm first. Skin needs 2–4 weeks to get used to a new device.

Specifications

What else you need

• FXRF2GSE foil and blade replacement set for FoilFX02 Gunsteel
• BaByliss PRO 4-in-1 blade maintenance spray
• SkeletonFX Gunsteel contour trimmer, from the same collection

ProBeauty tip. Clean and lubricate the blades regularly: the BaByliss PRO manual states that otherwise the device will no longer work correctly. When you replace the foil, replace the blades too; never just one of the parts.

BaByliss PRO FoilFX02 Metal is the double foil shaver from the 4Artists range, in the classic metal finish. It has an all-metal body, works corded or cordless, and shaves to skin on fades, the neck, and cheeks. It is the barber's finishing tool, but you can easily use it at home too.

What it does for you

• Fade down to the skin and shave a clean bald head on very short hair.
• Shaves without irritating: the ultra-thin, floating foils sit close to the skin without scratching it.
• Captures the entire contour: the two offset foils adapt to the head and face.
• Work quickly, with a 44 mm shaving area and 11,000 blade movements per minute.
• Go from one client to the next without a break: up to 3 hours on battery, then with the 3 m cable.

How to use it at home

1. Charge it continuously for 3 hours before first use, with the device switched off.
2. Shorten the hair to under 1 mm with a trimmer.
3. Switch on the device and hold it at a right angle to the skin. Move it slowly against the direction of hair growth.
4. Do not press. Where the skin is soft, such as on the neck, stretch it with your fingers.
5. At the end, switch it off, remove the foil unit with the side button, and use the blade brush.
6. Put the protective cap back on and store it in the pouch.

For what type of work

Use it for skin fades, bald heads, the neckline, and stray hairs on the face. It is not for long beards or for cutting hair. If you have sensitive skin, do a test on your arm first; the skin gets used to a new device in 2–4 weeks.

Specifications

What else you need

• FXRF2E foil and blade replacement set for FoilFX02
• BaByliss PRO 4-in-1 blade maintenance spray
• SkeletonFX Gold trimmer

ProBeauty tip. Check the foil before each day of work. If it is bent, do not use it anymore: replace the entire set, foil and blades together, as required by the manual.

BaByliss PRO FoilFX01 is the compact, portable version of the FoilFX shavers from the 4Artists range. It has an all-metal body, a single foil, and runs on two AA batteries, included. Take it with you anywhere and finish your fade or outline without having to look for a power outlet.

What it does for you

• Work without a power outlet or charging: insert two AA batteries and you're done.
• Shaves close to the skin without irritation, with an ultra-thin, floating foil.
• Covers 40 mm in one pass, enough for the neck, throat, and cheeks.
• Cuts quickly: the DC motor delivers 8,500 blade movements per minute.
• Turns off when you put the cap on, so it won't drain in your bag.
• Built for travel: the body is made entirely of metal and comes with a storage pouch.

How to use it at home

1. Insert the two AA alkaline batteries from the box into the shaver.
2. First, shorten the hair with an outline trimmer. The FoilFX01 is for finishing only.
3. Remove the protective cap, turn on the shaver, and hold it flat against the skin.
4. Move it gently, without pressure, against the direction of hair growth.
5. Put the cap back on to turn it off.
6. Remove the shaving head and clean the blades with the included brush after each use.

What kind of work it's for

Use it for skin fades, cleaning up the neck, and stray hairs on the face. It's ideal for home barbers or as a backup shaver. If you shave your entire head daily, the FoilFX02, with its double foil and rechargeable battery, will be more suitable.

Specifications

What else you need

• BaByliss PRO 4-in-1 Blade Care Spray
• SkeletonFX Gold outline trimmer from the 4Artists range

ProBeauty tip. Keep two spare AA batteries in the pouch. When the motor starts to run more slowly, replace both at the same time so the foil cuts cleanly again.
