Wahl Pro Series High Visibility Skeleton Trimmer

Absolutely amazing product. Heavy, rock solid construction feels confident in the hand, great ergonomics and solid grip even when hand is soapy. But the best part is the forever blade makes it easy to see what’s getting cut, even with guard on (I used the 2). Most precise edge for a jawbone line beard I’ve ever had. And with the guard it combs as it cuts with the grain of the hair, keeping stray whiskers knocked down. I’ve been pinched/cut before with fatter spaced blade rakes, but I didn’t feel threatened trimming under the nose.

Great job Wahl. Worth the extra money for a pro level groom. My new daily device.

This is the best beard trimmer and shaver that I have ever had in my light. I highly recommend this if you are growing a beard and need to do daily grooming. This is an absolute must. The battery life is excellent. It performs flawlessly, it’s very easy to clean the attachments. Are easy to put on and take off, and it charges in no time.

The Wahl skeleton trimmer is priced higher than expected, but is a solid, weighty multi-purpose hair grooming tool. At a lower price, I might recommend it, but at the current price of around $150, I’d be very hard-pressed to justify this multi-trimmer device.

Let’s start with what’s included: a carry-case containing the tool itself, multiple blade guard attachments (everything you need), a small brush, an oil container, a charging cable (terminating in USB-A, more on that later) and the 3 different attachments: foil shaver, hair trimmer, nose hair trimmer.
The case is well-put together although the foam where the tool sits looks haphazardly glued together. Blade guards are separated out into a plastic baggie to keep things organized.

Now let’s talk about the tool itself, and its individual attachments.

The tool: It feels good in the hand, weight is ideal and distributed nicely. It certainly feels like a premium product, though I suppose only time will prove that ultimately. These days its very.. interesting.. to see such a device shipped without a full charging mechanism. I suppose it’s a safe assumption that everyone has a USB charger, but I wish that there was at least an acknowledgement or notice of why there was no USB brick included. From a brand like Wahl, I expected a bit more on that front.

Trimmer/clipper attachment: I can’t help but think that it doesn’t cut lines as cleanly as I would expect. As a point of comparison, I also own a cheap ‘Renpho’ brand trimmer which came in at a whipping $30, and that one cuts cleaner lines than this Wahl trimmer. Somehow I find myself going back over the same lines again and again (irritating the skin, mind you) so that I can get cleaner lines. Not a huge problem if you’re going to finish up the lines with a straight razor, as I do, but still a touch disappointing. When using it with blade guards to trim down beard hair, etc, however, I’m 100% satisfied.

Nose hair trimmer attachment: What can I say, it just works. It’s a simple mechanism really.

Foil shaver: Here’s the attachment I find to be the least useful maybe? It’s about an inch and a half wide for starters, so that limits its usefulness right off the bat. It is a dual-foil shaver, so that helps somewhat. But I’d much rather use my $70 Andis foil shaver for a better shave quality. I guess it’s a nice-to-have attachment thrown in at a fairly cheap price.

Overall: Ultimately it’s a nice product, but again, I’m not sure I can justify the price point when I can find 3 different tools that do the same things that this tool does, better and for a cheaper price. Would I recommend this at this price? No, I cannot.
