The BaBylissPRO FoilFX02 Chameleon Double Foil Shaver (FXFS2IE) is a professional finishing shaver in the iridescent Chameleon finish. A DC motor runs at 11,000 RPM behind a Titanium double-foil head with twin cutters and a 44 mm shaving zone, for a close, smooth finish on the neck, cheeks and hairline. Its heavy all-metal body runs corded or cordless on its own rechargeable battery -- up to 3 hours of runtime from a 3-hour charge.

Why the FoilFX02 double-foil shaver

This is the finishing tool -- the last pass that fuses a bald fade and takes the neck, cheeks and hairline foil-close. The DC motor drives the twin cutters at 11,000 RPM under a Titanium double foil, and the 44 mm head covers ground quickly across a broad area. The Titanium foils are described by the brand as hypoallergenic. It carries its own rechargeable battery and runs corded or cordless, in a heavy all-metal body that gives it presence in the hand. It is the shaver of the Chameleon set.

Key features

• 11,000 RPM DC motor: a powerful motor driving twin cutters under a double foil for a smooth, close finish.
• Titanium double-foil head, 44 mm: two foils over twin cutters across a broad 44 mm zone; the Titanium foils are described by the brand as hypoallergenic.
• Own rechargeable battery, corded or cordless: up to 3 hours of runtime from a 3-hour charge, or work plugged in.
• Heavy all-metal build: a solid 272 g metal body in the iridescent Chameleon finish, matched to the clipper and trimmer.
• User-replaceable head: the foils and cutters snap off and on; the original is the FoilFX02 Chameleon foils and cutters (FXRF2CE).

What to expect

This is a finishing shaver, not a length tool -- it takes hair that is already short down to a foil-close finish, and it fuses the top of a bald fade. It does not remove bulk or line: use the ChameleonFX clipper and SkeletonFX trimmer for that. It is a dry shaver: no water, no shaving foam and no use in the shower. It carries its own rechargeable battery, which is separate from the Li-ion system of the clipper and trimmer, so the batteries are not interchangeable across the set.

Who it is for

• Barbers and stylists who want a foil-close finishing shaver in the iridescent Chameleon finish.
• Finishing and fading: fuse the top of a bald fade and take the neck, cheeks and hairline close.
• Advanced home users who want a professional double-foil finish to match the Chameleon set.

Who it is not for

• If you need to remove length or line: a shaver finishes -- use the ChameleonFX clipper for bulk and fades and the SkeletonFX trimmer for lines.
• If you want to shave wet or in the shower: this is a dry shaver only -- no water and no foam.
• If you expect the clipper's battery: the shaver has its own rechargeable battery and does not share the Li-ion pack of the clipper and trimmer.

Professional tip

Move the foil flat against the grain -- hold the head flat to the skin, work in short passes against the direction of growth, and let the foils glide rather than pressing down, which is what lifts and cuts the hair closest. Go back over the neckline and jaw from a second angle to catch the hairs the first pass laid flat.

How to use

1. Charge the shaver fully before the first use, or run it corded.
2. Shave on dry skin -- no water or foam -- holding the head flat.
3. Work in short passes against the grain, without pressing on the foils.
4. Trim longer hair first with the clipper or trimmer; the shaver finishes short growth.
5. Oil the cutters after each use and brush the head clean.
6. Store the shaver with its head cover on, ready for the next finish.

Care and maintenance

Brush the hair from the foils and cutters after every use and add a drop of oil to the cutters -- run the shaver for a few seconds, then wipe the excess. Never press on the foils and never rinse the head under water. When the foils or cutters dull, replace the head with the original FoilFX02 Chameleon foils and cutters (FXRF2CE). For oil, head covers and replacement foils, see the BaBylissPRO accessories and replacement parts page.
