Box Overview

Let’s start with the box. It's important to know what you're getting. The combo comes in a stunning gold color and features a single foil shaver with the trimmer. Various colors are available, and it's a limited edition set, so don’t miss out!

On the front of the box, you see the classic branding, with details highlighting the limited edition status, metal lithium trimmer, and UV foil shaver. Unfortunately, the plastic cover was discarded by the previous owner, but that doesn't take away from the experience.

Key Features Mentioned on the Box:

Metal Lithium Trimmer:
- FX707Z high hardness lower blade temperature
- Zero gap adjustable
- High-speed brushless motor with 7200 RPMs
- Upgraded battery with over 3-hour runtime

- USBC charging port
UV Foil Shaver:
- New UV disinfecting lid that kills 99% of bacteria
- High-speed 10,000 RPM motor
- Battery with 5.5-hour runtime
- Ergonomic grip

The price for this combo is around $ 200 on Amazon, which is reasonable for new barbers looking to invest in quality tools.

Unboxing the Combo

Now, let’s get into the actual unboxing.

Trimmer

First, we have the trimmer. Check out how beautiful it looks! You can see a little plastic covering on the back, which I'll remove now.

Shaver

Next up is the shaver. The round shape is noticeable, and it feel substantial in hand. When the UV lid is closed, it turns on and automatically shuts off after a set time.

When you open the lid, it reveals the foil underneath, which is designed to be easy to clean.

Accessories

Inside the box, you’ll find two chargers—most likely identical. There's also a bag containing some essential items: a screwdriver, a cleaning brush, blade oil, and a zero gap tool. The clear instructions and additional tools are helpful for maintenance.

Testing the Performance

Trimmer Ratings

Shaving:
- The trimmer delivers a solid performance but could pull on the skin due to its sharp blades. I would rate it a 4/5.
Edging:
- While it edges well for a non-zero-gapped trimmer, it's not the best out-of-the-box. Hence, I give it a 3/5.
Comfort:
- Unfortunately, it’s not the most comfortable due to its shape and weight, which earns it a 2/5.

Shaver Ratings

Bulk Shaving:
- The shaver performs well for bulk hair, but hesitates a little with thicker hair. I'll rate it a 4/5.
Closeness:
- Its closeness can cause irritation, hence it gets a 5/5 for performance.
Comfort:
- While the shaver can be a bit heavy, its design allows for easy maneuverability, which gives it a 4/5.

Sound Test

To provide additional insight, I performed a sound test:

The trimmer measured around 74-75 dB, which isn’t loud.
The shaver was slightly louder, at around 77-78 dB.
