Is the BaBylissPRO FX787 worth it over cheaper trimmers?

If you edge beards or cut fades regularly, the metal body and strong motor justify the price. For occasional light trimming, a cheaper plastic trimmer will do the job.

How long does the battery last and how long to charge?

BaBylissPRO rates the lithium-ion battery at about two hours of runtime. A full charge takes roughly three hours, and the trimmer can run corded while charging.

Can I use it for ears and nose hair?

The T-blade can trim ear edges and stray hairs, but it is not a dedicated ear and nose trimmer. For inside the ear canal, use a trimmer with a rounded safety head.

Does it come with a charging stand and guards?

Kits vary by retailer. Most include the trimmer, a charging cord, oil and a few attachment combs; a charging stand is not always included, so check the box contents before buying.

Can the blade be zero-gapped?

Yes. The FX787 blade can be adjusted to cut very close, which is why barbers use it for line-ups. Keep it slightly gapped if you are new to exposed blades to avoid irritation.

Barber supply stores and major retailers discount it around Black Friday and Father's Day. Prices also dip when a new FX model launches and older stock clears.

Our take on the BaBylissPRO FX787 Cordless Metal Trimmer

The BaBylissPRO FX787 is a cordless metal trimmer built for barbers and home line-ups, known for its all-metal housing and high-torque rotary motor. It runs on a lithium-ion battery rated for about two hours of use and recharges in roughly three hours. The exposed T-blade is designed for crisp edges, fades and beard detailing. It is a heavier, louder tool than plastic-bodied trimmers, and that build quality is the main reason people pay for it.
