BaBylissPRO foil shavers are the tool that turns a good fade into a clean one, and they are quietly the best-selling BaBylissPRO products we stock once you count the replacement foils. There are four to choose from and the differences are real. Here is what each one is for.
What a foil shaver does on a fade
A clipper takes hair to a millimetre or two. A trimmer cleans the edges. A foil shaver takes the skin section of a fade to nothing and blends the first transition so there is no visible line. It is also the tool for bald heads and for stubble under a short beard. It goes last, on dry skin, in short overlapping passes against the grain.
FoilFX02 Metal Double Foil Shaver
The workhorse. The FoilFX02 is a heavy-duty, dual-foil shaver built for barbers: finishing fades, blending transitions and removing short stubble, all day. It comes in GoldFX, SilverFX and RoseFX, and the colour is the only difference. If you own one BaBylissPRO shaver, it is this one.
UVFoil Metal Double Foil Shaver
The UVFoil is the FoilFX02 idea with UV-powered hygiene built in. Same close-finishing job.
FXOne GoldFX Double Foil Shaver
The FXOne shaver runs on BaBylissPRO's interchangeable battery system: one battery fits every FXOne clipper, trimmer and shaver, so a fresh battery goes in mid-cut and a flat one goes back on the charger. If you are building an FXOne kit, this is the shaver that shares batteries with your clipper.
LimitedFX Gunmetal Single and Double Foil Duo
The LimitedFX duo pairs a large double foil shaver for fades and necklines with a single foil for facial detail work around the beard and moustache, in a gunmetal finish. Two tools for the two jobs, and the only set that includes the single foil.

Replacement foils
Foils wear and cutters dull. Rather than a new shaver, fit the matching head: GoldFX FoilFX02 head, SilverFX head, RoseFX head, the UVFoil head or the FXOne foil and cutter. Which part fits which tool is in our replacement blades and foils guide.
