Babyliss Super X Metal Series X Blade

Here is one for the hair scapers, the Babyliss Super X Metal Series X Blade (bit of a mouthful), it is a smart looking grooming tool that feels well made from the moment you hold it. The metal body gives it a premium feel, while still having a straightforward design without unnecessary detail, making it easy to control whether you are shaping a beard or tidying up stubble.

The blade is the real highlight, made from Japanese steel, with its 50º flexing it can follow the natural curves of the face and neck. This helps keep close contact with the skin for a smooth and even trim. It copes well with regular facial hair and gives good precision around edges; each blade will last up to 6 months. The set includes comb guides that offer cutting lengths from one to five millimetres, so you can switch between neat stubble or a short beard with little effort.

The device runs on a lithium-ion battery and offers around 45 minutes of cordless use from a 3hour full charge, 20 minutes will be enough for a 5min trim before heading out. The run time is enough for everyday trimming, and the cordless design means you can move easily while grooming.

Another useful feature is IPX7 fully water resistance, this means you can even use in in the shower when you are pressed for time. Cleaning is simple and quick which makes regular maintenance much easier. A magnetic charging stand and a pouch for travel are included.

It is worth noting that those with very thick beards may need more than one pass for a perfectly close finish. The shorter battery life may also feel limiting if you prefer longer sessions.

Overall the Babyliss Super X Metal Series X Blade is a strong everyday grooming choice. It looks smart, feels durable, and gives a smooth finish with minimal fuss, whether used wet or dry. RRP £80
