The Wahl Chromini is a cordless detail trimmer with one blade: a German-made U-blade that detaches. It runs at 7000 RPM and weighs 130 g, and WAHL sums up its job as “Close Detail Trimming”. It comes with four guides and an LED charge indicator.

Why the Chromini

A cut in the chair runs in a fixed order: the clipper takes the bulk, the trimmer sets the outline and the edges, and the foil shaver finishes. This is the trimmer in that order, with one blade for all of it. WAHL designs it for “Delicate Contours & Precise Edges, Close Trimming, Line-Ups and Detail Work”. The guides are for short detail work; the outline itself is drawn with the bare blade.

Who it is not for

Professional tip

Check the charge light before you start a line-up, so the cut does not stop halfway along the line. If it is low, finish the client's detail work first and put it on charge before the next outline.

How to use

  1. Charge it before first use.
  2. With the trimmer switched off, check the blade and oil it.
  3. Trim the outline with no guide.
  4. Fit a guide for short detail work.
  5. Switch off, detach the blade and brush out underneath.
Safety: Switch the trimmer off before you change a guide, adjust the blade or clean it. A trimmer blade cuts very close, so work outlines with light pressure. Clean it dry with a brush: never rinse it or put it in any liquid, and keep it and whatever it charges from off wet surfaces at the station.

Care and maintenance

After each client, switch off and brush the teeth of the blade clean. At the end of the day, and whenever it starts to drag, put a few drops of clipper oil across the teeth, run it briefly and wipe off the excess. From time to time, detach the blade and brush out underneath. Keep Wahl Special Blade Oil 200ml at the station for the daily oiling, and Wahl Oil Tube 10ml in the case for work away from it.
