BaBylissPRO Barberology Double Foil Shaver

I like everything about this electric shaver. So far, I have shaved 3 times. So keep my limited experience in mind for my review. -- It is not too heavy. It is not too light. Goldilocks would say it is just right. -- It is easy to grip. It has a good shape to grasp. -- It initially sounded a bit too noisy (I never used an electric shaver before). But it is not loud. It is a bit noisy, but nothing that you should find unpleasant. -- It gives my face a close shave. -- I initially tried it with close to 10 days worth of facial growth. It is not designed for that, and did nearly nothing. But if you shave daily, or even skip a day, it works great. -- I have not tested the battery's duration. I have shaved 3 times, and the battery bars still read "full". -- There are four bars. According to the manual, when the last bar starts blinking, you have 10 minutes left. At full charge, it is supposed to last 3 hours. -- For my shaves, it did not heat up. -- It is simple to remove the cap to expose the blades. That allows you to run some water over the blades to clean off the shavings. You can also rinse out the cap, which will have shavings. It takes 3 to 5 seconds to rinse off everything. You do not have to touch anything. Then you let it air dry. The manual warns against using a blow drier. So let it air dry. -- The manual warns to not use it when it is wet. -- The manual warns to not submerge the shaver under water. But rinsing is fine. I would think twice about using it in the shower. -- Not mentioned in the listing (and this goes for all electric foil shavers) is that you should oil the blades after every use. The manual goes on to read that not doing so will void the warranty. -- The oil is not included. So if you do not have oil, add it to your basket. -- The rechargeable battery is not replaceable. So whenever the built-in battery gets too old to hold a charge, the shaver becomes a brick -- sort of. It should still work while plugged in. But that is not clear. -- I had a question about its built-in battery. I called their customer service number (it is in the manual). After waiting 12 minutes, I was connected to a polite agent. But rather than telling me whether or not the battery was replaceable, she kept repeating that if it dies under the 2-year warranty, they will ship a new one. I was asking her about replacing the battery after the 2-year warranty period, and it was going in circles. Either she did not know the answer, and did not want to say that she did not know, or she was told / trained to focus on the warranty. But I politely made my question clear, and she eventually said that after 2 years, the unit would need to be recycled. That was the best answer I was able to obtain from her. There was no mention of a battery replacement in the manual. -- The foil and the blades are replaceable I do not know how simple or tedious that would be. It is probably not difficult, based on the rest of the shaver's very good design. I hope that the blades and the foils hold up for the long run. But for now, I like everything about this shaver (other than not being able to replace its built-in, rechargeable battery).
