The Wahl Vanish Shaver is the 5-Star cord/cordless shaver from Wahl Professional, and in the barber's chair it is the machine for the last pass. The clipper takes the bulk, the trimmer sets the line, and the shaver finishes on hair the other two have already brought down. It sits beside the 5-Star clippers and trimmers you may already work with, and we sell it on its own or in one of our Wahl sets.

Who it is for

  • Shops that offer head shaves or skin-level work on the neck and around the outline as a routine service

Who it is not for

  • Taking long stubble or a full beard straight down - bring it down with a clipper or trimmer first; a foil shaver works on hair that is already short

Professional tip

Do the length work first, so the shaver only ever meets short hair. Then stretch the skin with your free hand, keep the head flat and work in short, overlapping passes with light pressure. Our rule at the chair: let the foil do the work, and go over an area again rather than pressing harder on one spot.

Safety: A foil shaver runs moving cutters under a thin foil. Check the foil before each client and do not use the shaver if the foil is dented or torn. Switch it off, and unplug it if it is on the cord, before you clean it or take the head off. Keep it and its cord away from wet surfaces at the station, and out of the reach of children.

Care and maintenance

After each client, switch the shaver off and brush the hair out of the foil and the cutters with its cleaning brush, without pressing on the foil. Clean it dry: never rinse it under the tap or put it in liquid. When the foil is damaged or the cut starts to drag, replace the foil and the cutter bars.

Frequently asked questions

Where does the Vanish fit next to my clipper and trimmer?

It is the last pass. Take the length down with the clipper, set the line with the trimmer, then finish with it on hair that is already short. It is not the tool for taking bulk off or setting outlines.

Can I rinse it under the tap?

No. Clean it dry with a brush. Never rinse it under the tap or put it in liquid, and keep it and its cord away from wet surfaces at the station.

How do I clean it?

After each client, switch it off and brush the hair out of the foil and the cutters with its cleaning brush, without pressing on the foil. Replace foil and cutter bars when the foil is damaged or the cut starts to drag.

Precautions for use

Clippers, trimmers and shavers
Applies to: corded and cordless clippers, trimmers, nose and ear trimmers and shavers, and their chargers.

  • Read the manual before first use and keep it.
  • Use only the supplied charger or adapter and charge as described in the manual, on a dry, heat-resistant surface.
  • Do not use with a damaged cord, charger or housing. Leave repairs to an authorised repairer.
  • Keep the appliance, battery and charger dry, unless the manual states otherwise. Never use a corded appliance near water.
  • Blades are sharp. Switch off before changing a blade or guide comb and keep out of reach of children.
  • Oil the blades regularly as described in the manual; a dry blade runs hot and pulls the hair.
  • Do not open, pierce, heat or burn the lithium-ion battery.
  • At the end of their life, hand in the appliance and the battery as electrical waste, not with household waste.

Always read the label and the instructions of the product itself.
