The Wahl Set Cordless Barber Combo + Vanish Shaver puts three Wahl Professional machines in one listing, each with its own pass in the cut: the Barber Combo carton holds the clipper for the bulk as well as the trimmer for the outline, then the Vanish takes the last pass. The Barber Combo holds a clipper at 6500 RPM across 0.5 mm - 1.2 mm and a trimmer at 6700 RPM. It sits beside our Wahl Cordless Barber Combo, which we also sell on its own page. Each carton is also sold on its own.

In the set

• Wahl Cordless Barber Combo with its clipper, trimmer, 6 cutting guides and alignment tool
• Wahl Vanish Shaver with its foil guard, cleaning brush and pre-shave brush

Why this set

A cut in the chair runs in a fixed order, and this set follows it: the Barber Combo carton holds the clipper for the bulk as well as the trimmer for the outline, then the Vanish takes the last pass. Each machine keeps to its own pass, so the trimmer's blade is kept for the line and never does the clipper's bulk work. A foil shaver works on hair that is already short, so the length work always comes first and the Vanish finishes what the other machines have brought down. Buying the machines together puts that sequence on one station in one order.

What to expect in the hand

The Barber Combo clipper weighs 10.4 oz | 295 g and runs 120 min on a 60 min charge; the trimmer weighs 5.2 oz | 147 g and runs 100 min on a 45 min charge. The clipper is in the hand for most of the cut, the trimmer for the finish. The Vanish weighs 181 g / 6.4 oz, has Finger grips and works with or without its 2.4 m cable.

Who it is for

• Barbers putting a clipper, a trimmer and a shaver on one station, bought together
• Cuts that run from a blended fade to a sharp outline in one sitting - the Barber Combo pack lists Seamless Blending and Fading and Shape-Ups and Pattern Work under DESIGNED FOR
• Shops that offer head shaves or skin-level work on the neck and around the outline, finished with the Vanish as the last pass

Who it is not for

• Taking long stubble or a full beard straight down with the shaver - bring it down with the clipper or trimmer first
• A barber who needs only one of the two cartons - each is sold on its own

Professional tip

Blend with the Barber Combo's clipper first and bring the trimmer in only for the edge: let the clipper set the fade and the trimmer finish the line, so the trimmer's blade never does bulk work. Then let the Vanish meet only short hair: stretch the skin, keep its head flat and work in short, overlapping passes with light pressure, going over an area again rather than pressing harder.

How to use

1. Before the first client, brush the blades clean and oil them with clipper oil. Check that the Vanish foil is seated and has no dent or tear.
2. Trimmer, as the Barber Combo carton prints it: “Precisely adjust blades to zero-gap with included alignment tool.” With the machine off, check that the moving blade sits behind the edge of the fixed blade before it touches skin.
3. Take the bulk and build the blend with the Barber Combo's clipper, working against the growth and changing guides as the fade comes down.
4. Set the outline with the Barber Combo's trimmer: stretch the skin with your free hand and use light pressure.
5. Finish with the Vanish on hair that is already short: stretch the skin, hold the head flat against it and work in short, overlapping passes with light pressure.
6. Switch everything off and brush the hair out of the blades and the Vanish head before you put the machines down.

Care and maintenance

After each client, switch off and brush the hair from the teeth and around the blades with a soft, dry brush, and wipe the housings with a dry cloth. Clean the Vanish the same way, dry, with its cleaning brush. At the end of the day, and whenever a blade starts to drag, put a few drops of clipper oil across the teeth, run it for a few seconds and wipe off the excess. Brush the hair out of the Vanish foil and cutters without pressing on the foil, and replace the foil and the cutter bars when the foil is damaged or the cut starts to drag. Clean everything dry: never rinse a machine under the tap or put it in liquid.
