Customer Reviews of Wahl 7367-500 Custom Shave System Multi-Head Shaver with Bonus Personal Trimmer
Customer Review: Terriffic Powerful Buzzsaw!
Summary: 5 Stars
Update: 12/23/2009
It's been almost a year now and this thing is still a buzzsaw. I still recommend it heartily.
I don't know why Wahl isn't a bigger player in the electric razor field. They should be. I see
that it's being offered now for less money than I paid (sigh).
Paid $58.35 for this Wahl 4000 with 3 replacement heads (Sensitive, Close and Super-Close) + a little "nose & ear clipper" which has 2 replacement heads. I've only been using it for 2 weeks now.
This puppy reminds me of my old beloved Ronsons (I'm over 60-years old), and that's a very high recommendation. I've loved my full-sized previous Braun and a little Braun 1775 for traveling, but this mighty Wahl tops all except the Ronson corded models (but is equal to them, I think). I've never seen a cordless razor with this much power! It's loud, but what the hell?
My beard has been all-grey for years now and, as you may know, that means each hair is thicker and harder to cut. This razor plows thru it easily.
Its plastic body does feel thin and more fragile than others... it looks and feels cheaply made. When you take off the head cover to expose the twin blades for cleaning, they also look fragile and you must hold them a certain way to brush them clean or you may damage them.
I don't know if the batteries are NiCad or NiMh. I hope they're the latter so they don't develop a "memory" that would eventually prevent a full recharge, but if that does happen, it can be used the old-fashioned way: with its cord.
It kinda' pisses me off that nobody seems to make a cordless razor with replaceable rechargable batteries! They all eventually stop taking a charge. I even had a cord/cordless one once that stopped working with the cord once the batteries failed! Jeez! Obviously, the manufacturers want you to throw it away when the batteries fail so you'll buy a new one.
Anyway (I'm rambling)... this is the best razor I've used in years, primarily because it's so powerful! It also shaves very close with very little irritation. I just hope it lasts!!
Customer Review: Great Shaver
Summary: 5 Stars
I had avoided buying a new shaver to replace my old Remington Microscreen (bought at Fedco years before they closed, for those in Southern California just to show you how long I have owned that one). I never found any I liked, so I just kept the Remington going -- new batteries once, new screen and cutters, etc. I also didn't like the fact that any new models, including new Remingtons, were made outside the U.S. and often in China.
I happened to stumble across this Wahl shaver, did a little checking, and found that it is well-liked by owners, and as a bonus is actually made in the U.S. Now, after owning it for a short while, I find that it is a great little shaver.
I finally charged it for the first time since I originally charged it, which means it went almost a month on a single charge, and I use it almost daily. On the few times i let my beard grow a little I find that the different heads allow me to cut longer growth with no pulling at all; after the initial shave I switch to the closest head and finish off for a remarkably close shave -- better than I ever obtained with any other shaver or razor.
The build quality is excellent, it is very light to hold, and the pop-out trimmer works superbly. I hope this shaver is available for a long time, because if mine ever needs replacing, I want another just like it.
This may just be the best shaver available. And the bonus trimmer is quite nice as well.
UPDATE: It keeps impressing me more and more. Charge lasts forever, and it shaves so amazingly close, I can't even match the closeness with a blade razor. This may be the best shaver you can buy.
Customer Review: A great shaver and a bargain
Summary: 5 Stars
I was glad to find the Wahl shaver at such a good price ($30). I have owned two previous Wahl shavers and was disappointed when I could no longer find them locally. It shaves fast and close with no irritation. The trimmer is better than most I have tried - I used two Remingtons and a Braun before finding the replacement Wahl on Amazon. I disagree with another reviewer about noise. It's quiter than either the Remington or Braun that I still have; but they have been used for a while and most shavers get noisier from continued use.
Since it comes with three heads - marked "close", "super close", and "sensitive", you can almost certainly find one that will work well with your face and beard. And if you're lucky, like me, all three will do a good job, so you're effectively getting two replacement heads for free. The "super close" is faster for me and not quite as comfortable as the "close" - my favorite. The "sensitive" is a little slower and doesn't shave quite as close unless you spend extra time going over areas with heavy beard.
I get four to six shaves on one charge, depending on how much time I spend shaving each use.
I do not think that the Wahl shaver is quite as durable as some others, but since it comes with a two-year warranty, you can count on two year's service. And hopefully when it finally wears out,you can find a new one at a good price. At the price of $30, which is about the price of two replacement heads for competing shavers, I've been considering buying another one for the future.
Customer Review: BETTER THAN MY BRAUN!!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
A week ago I never would have thought I would write this review. First of all, I do not write reviews. Second of all, I like German products in general and have been mostly satisfied with the Braun electric razer I used until it broke. So, I was looking at buying the new Braun which costs $200.00 which I thought was a ridiculous price, so I took a 'flyer' on the Wahl. It's the best! I like it better than my Braun! I like the flexibility of the twin head foil/cutter of the Wahl much better and because of this, I get a closer shave, more quickly. With the Braun I would have to go over certain areas literally 4, 5, 6 times to really 'get it'. The Wahl sounds like a damn chain saw, because it has this sooped up American style car engine for a motor, but it shaves the closest of any electric razor and more quickly, than any I have ever used. God Bless good 'ole American engineering on this one! Okay, the plastic housing looks cheesy and non-sexy compared to the Braun, but the Wahl is a loyal lover who satisfies the most. You know, sometimes we Americans just get the job done. So, I am writing this review because I think this is the best product and for sure at the best price so I believe it's time to thank Wahl and for that matter, sincere and honest and solid American companies. I do not work for Wahl. I do not know anyone who does. I do not even know what State they are in and I do not care. Just keep up the good work!Customer Review: Excellent with one exception
Summary: 4 Stars
The Wahl multihead shaver is a great buy. The multiple heads give me a choice each day. Since I have problem skin -- formerly eczema, rosacea, and seborrheic dermatitis ( explained at [...] ), now cured but still VERY sensitive -- I needed a shaver that doesn't irritate my skin in some locations.
I read the instructions very carefully and adjusted my expectations as noted. This is my first foil shaver. I have used only a rotary type before. After three weeks of using the Sensitive head, as predicted, I could see no problems. I had got used to the shaver and it worked well.
The nose and ear hair trimmer has been very helpful too for those hard to get places.
The one problem is the volume of noise. I wouln't dare use the shaver early in the morning, for fear of waking up my neighbors. (I live in a small apartment.) I am retired, so I can shave during the day and avoid the problem.
For men with serious skin problems, I would suggest what I am trying now: Use a hair trimmer, set to a very low setting, every few days instead of trying to use a shaver. That means a short stubble, rather than a close shave, but that is much better than tearing up skin that is already a problem.
I have used Wahl products before (specifically a hair trimmer that lasted for seven years), and I have always been pleased.
