The BaBylissPRO Skeleton trimmer comes in more colours than most cars, and the question we get every week is whether the GoldFX is better than the SilverFX. It is not. Same trimmer, different finish. Here is what is actually inside, which colours are standard and which are limited, and how to pick.
What every Skeleton trimmer has
- A 7,200 rpm high-torque brushless motor.
- A fully exposed 2.0mm DLC-coated T-blade, the open skeleton design that lets you see the line you are cutting.
- Cord or cordless lithium operation with around two hours per charge.
- Zero-gap-capable blade for close outlining.
Every colour below runs that specification. The finish is the choice.
The standard colours
- GoldFX: the one in every barbering photo, and the colour with the widest choice of matching clippers, shavers and blades.
- SilverFX: the same trimmer in silver, for shops that run the SilverFX clipper and shaver.
- BlackFX: the matte black finish, from the Influencer Collection.
- RoseFX: rose gold, the pick for salons rather than barbershops.
The limited editions
- GreenFX: limited-edition green.
- PurpleFX: limited-edition purple.
- WhiteFX: from the Influencer Collection, a collaboration with three global names in barbering, each with their own colourway. The WhiteFX clipper and the BlackFX Stay Gold clipper by Sofie Pok are the matching pieces.
Limited colours come and go. When one sells out it is usually gone for good, so if a colour matters to your station, buy the set at once.
How to choose
- Match your clipper. If you run a GoldFX clipper, the GoldFX trimmer and shaver make the station look finished. That is the whole logic.
- Ignore colour for performance. There is none to gain.
- Think about the blade later, not the body. The upgrade path on any Skeleton trimmer is the blade: fine tooth for lines, 2.0mm deep tooth for bulk, DLC for longevity. Our replacement blades guide covers which is which.
- If you want a different trimmer, not a different colour, the LO-PROFX is the slim, low-profile design for close work. The comparison is in best BaBylissPRO trimmers for barbers.
