Wahl Professional 5 Star Series Shaver — Gold Foil Cord/Cordless Finishing Tool, 60‑Minute Runtime

Made for barbers and home grooming enthusiasts who demand a neat finish, the Wahl 5 Star Series combines a compact, durable body with a professional-grade foil and rotary motor. Lightweight and ergonomically sized at 4.6 inches and 5.8 ounces, this shaver is built to glide across face, head, and neckline with steady power whether plugged in or cordless. Its nickel-cadmium (NiCd) rechargeable battery offers about 60 minutes of runtime on a full charge, and the package includes a foil guard, charging plug, cleaning brush, and instructions so you can start using it right away.

How does this shaver create an ultra-close, bump-minimizing finish?

The 5 Star Series uses a hypoallergenic gold foil paired with a #7031-100 cutter bar to cut hair close to the skin while being gentle on sensitive areas. The foil reduces direct blade-on-skin friction, helping the shaver to deliver a smooth feel with fewer post-shave irritations compared with some blade shavers.

• Hypoallergenic gold foil designed for reduced skin reaction
• #7031-100 foil/cutter bar for precise, close cutting
• Rotary motor maintains steady cutting speed during passes
• Foil guard included for safe storage and travel

What power and runtime can I expect during professional use?

The built-in NiCd rechargeable battery supports roughly 60 minutes of cordless runtime after a full charge, suitable for back-to-back finishes in a busy station or multiple at-home sessions. You can also operate the shaver while plugged in, so it stays ready if the battery needs charging mid-shift.

• Rechargeable NiCd battery for about 60 minutes of cordless use
• Operates corded for uninterrupted power when needed
• Compact form factor keeps weight low for longer handling
• Charging plug included for straightforward recharges

How easy is maintenance and cleaning for salon efficiency?

Wahl designed the unit for simple upkeep: the foil and cutter bar can be carefully cleaned with the included brush, and the compact parts make storage and parts replacement straightforward. Regular light cleaning helps sustain cutting performance and extends the life of the foil assembly.

• Cleaning brush provided for quick debris removal
• Replaceable foil/cutter bar keeps performance consistent
• Foil guard protects the cutting surface between uses
• Lightweight design reduces strain during repeated cleaning
