Wahl Professional 5 Star Foil Shaver/Shaper — Cord/Cordless, Hypoallergenic Gold Foil, 60-Min Runtime

Wahl Professional 5 Star Shaver/Shaper is a rechargeable cord/cordless foil shaver engineered to deliver an ultra-close, bump-minimizing finish with a hypoallergenic gold foil and up to 60 minutes runtime.

Built for barbers and grooming enthusiasts, the Wahl Professional 5 Star Shaver/Shaper combines a compact housing with a powerful rotary motor and a nickel-cadmium rechargeable battery to get through full grooming sessions without a cord. Its gold hypoallergenic foil reduces irritation on sensitive areas like the neckline, face, and head while the included accessories make it ready for professional or at-home use.

How close and comfortable is the shave?

The Wahl 5 Star Shaver/Shaper uses a #7031-100 gold alloy foil and cutter bar to give a very close finish while aiming to lower skin irritation. The hypoallergenic material is selected to help reduce shaving bumps and tender reactions on sensitive skin zones.

• Hypoallergenic gold foil for reduced irritation
• #7031-100 cutter bar for precise closeness
• Designed for face, head, and neckline detailing

Can I use it corded and cordless, and how long does the battery last?

This shaver is usable both plugged in and cordless for flexibility during appointments or travel. A rechargeable Ni-Cad battery provides approximately 60 minutes of runtime after a full charge, and the included charging plug makes recharging straightforward.

• Corded operation for continuous use
• About 60 minutes cordless runtime on full charge
• Rechargeable Ni-Cad battery and charging plug included

What extras come with the shaver and how durable is it?

The purchase includes practical accessories to keep the tool in service: a foil guard to protect the cutting surface, a cleaning brush for maintenance, and operating instructions. The shaver’s compact form—approximately 4.6 inches long and 5.8 ounces—balances durability and ergonomics for professional handling.

• Comes with foil guard, cleaning brush, and instructions
• Compact 4.6" length and 5.8 oz weight for comfortable grip
• Robust construction intended for frequent professional use

How do I maintain performance and extend foil life?

Routine cleaning and correct storage keep the foil and cutter bar performing well. Use the included brush to remove hair after each use, protect the foil with the guard when stored, and replace worn foils and cutter bars as needed to maintain close cutting action.

• Brush debris away after every shave
• Store with foil guard to prevent dents or bends
• Replace foil/cutter bar if cutting performance decreases
