Intro/Charging
I bought the BaBylissPRO FoilFX razor shortly after I began shaving my head in 2020 at the height of the pandemic. It is claimed that this razor has a three-hour run time, but that wasn't my experience. I had it replaced, and still got nowhere near three hours of run time. It was closer to an hour.

Esthetics/Feel/Weight
You can see from the photo that fingerprints are easily visible on this razor, but that's a minor issue. It's a heavy razor and it feels good in the hand.

Performance
With any foil razor, the hair needs to be fairly short in order to shave well, so I wouldn't recommend going any more than three days between shaves. It does a good job. It's much faster and closer than any of the rechargeable, multi-headed razors all over AliExpress and Amazon being marketed as head shavers. Again, though, the key is to shave your head with this razor when your hair is short.

Conclusion/Rating
The battery issue on both razors prevent me from giving this razor five stars. I give it ⭐⭐⭐.

When did you buy this razor, Jim? I picked one up on Amazon six weeks ago and it also had the battery issue. Unbelievable. I assume it's been a few years since you bought yours. I returned it, needless to say. Good shave, though.

Hi, Terry. I bought it in 2020 at the height of the pandemic. It's odd that razors sold on Amazon four years later still have the battery issue. Not a lot of quality control with BaByliss, it appears.
