The BaBylissPRO Compact LO-PROFX Trimmer (FX720E) is a low-profile professional detailing trimmer in a matte black finish, built for lines, edge-ups and beard work. A high-speed DC motor runs at 6,800 RPM behind a fully exposed graphite 2.0 mm deep-tooth T-blade that is 360-degree exposed and zero-gap adjustable, so it draws a crisp, skin-close line. It runs cordless on a lithium-ion battery with up to 120 minutes of runtime, charges over USB-C, and shares a universal charging base with the rest of the LO-PROFX Compact tools.

Why the Compact LO-PROFX trimmer

The Compact LO-PROFX trimmer is the low-profile detail tool -- the same LO-PROFX precision in a smaller body that turns more easily for tight work. The fully exposed graphite 2.0 mm deep-tooth T-blade is 360-degree exposed for visibility and zero-gap adjustable for a crisp, skin-close line, and graphite is a low-friction material that helps the blade glide. The high-speed DC motor holds 6,800 RPM through dense beard hair, and the scratch-resistant anodized aluminium body is built for daily use on a base shared with the whole Compact line.

Key features

• Graphite 2.0 mm deep-tooth T-blade: a fully exposed, 360-degree exposed T-blade for outlines and hard lines; graphite is a low-friction material that helps the blade glide cleanly.
• Zero-gap adjustable: set the blade close for a crisp, skin-close line, with the deep 2.0 mm tooth for detail and light bulk.
• High-speed DC motor: runs at 6,800 RPM and is designed to hold its speed through dense beard hair.
• Cordless lithium-ion with USB-C: up to 120 minutes of cordless runtime, charged over USB-C, on a universal base shared with the LO-PROFX Compact clipper and shaver.
• Ultra-low-profile aluminium body: a compact, scratch-resistant anodized housing that is more tactile and easier to manoeuvre for accuracy and control.

What to expect

This is a detailing trimmer for lines, edges and beard work in a compact body -- not a bulk-cutting clipper. For taking length down, tapering and blending a fade, reach for the Compact LO-PROFX clipper; for a foil-close finish, add the Compact single-foil shaver. The graphite T-blade is fully exposed and zero-gap adjustable, so it lands a sharp line but is not meant for heavy bulk. Keep a charged battery ready, since it is cordless only, and oil the blade so it stays crisp.

Who it is for

• Barbers and stylists who want the LO-PROFX precision in a smaller, more manoeuvrable trimmer.
• Lines and detail: the exposed graphite zero-gap T-blade draws crisp outlines and hard partings.
• Close control: the low-profile body is tactile and easy to steer for tight edge work.
• Anyone building the Compact LO-PROFX set: the trimmer shares a battery base with the Compact clipper and shaver.

Who it is not for

• If you need to take length down: a T-blade trimmer details -- use the Compact LO-PROFX clipper for bulk, tapers and fades.
• If you want a foil-close finish: add the Compact single-foil shaver for the neck, cheeks and hairline.
• If you need to run corded mid-line: this is cordless only, so keep the battery topped up.

Professional tip

Let the graphite blade float along the line -- work off the corner rather than pressing the flat in, and let the low-friction graphite and exposed teeth do the drawing while your other hand holds the skin taut. Set the blade to zero-gap for the sharpest edge, make one confident pass, then check the line from the front before you go over it again.

How to use

1. Charge the battery over USB-C on the universal base; this trimmer is cordless.
2. Adjust the blade to zero-gap for the line you want.
3. Outline the hairline, neck and beard, leading with the corner of the blade.
4. Detail the parts and edges, holding the skin taut with the other hand.
5. Finish close on the neck and cheeks with the Compact single-foil shaver.
6. Oil the blade after each use, brush it clean and store the trimmer dry.

Care and maintenance

Oil the blade before and after each use -- a drop along the teeth, run the trimmer briefly, then wipe the excess -- and brush the cut hair from the blade after every client; regular cleaning and oiling keeps the line crisp. Keep the trimmer dry and store it with the guard on. When the blade dulls, fit a matching original graphite 2.0 mm T-blade; for that blade, plus guards and oil, see the BaBylissPRO accessories and replacement parts page. And for sectioning hair while you work, add the BaBylissPRO Croco Clips X6.

In short

• Low-profile cordless detailing trimmer: 6,800 RPM DC motor, fully exposed graphite 2.0 mm deep-tooth T-blade, 360-degree exposed, zero-gap adjustable.
• Cordless with USB-C: up to 120 minutes of runtime on a universal base shared with the LO-PROFX Compact line.
• Compact LO-PROFX set: pair it with the Compact clipper and single-foil shaver for the cut and a close finish.
