Our take

The WAHL 5 Star Vanish is one of the most talked-about finishing shavers in barbering right now, and it earns the hype. The micro-thin gold foils get impressively close without the razor burn, the pop-out cutters make cleaning quick, and the battery comfortably lasts a full day of fades. It is a specialist tool rather than an all-rounder — for heavy stubble you will want to trim first — but for barbers and home users chasing a skin-close finish, it is a superb buy.
