I am yet to use the Andis Resurge, so I cannot comment on that particular model. But the closeness should be very similar to the barber-style shavers, including the ProFoil and FX2. One advantage of the Resurge over those two is that it’s waterproof and can be rinsed with water, I really miss that when using any of the double foil shavers I have. But it is indeed more like a standard everyday shaver for the face and it even has a slit trimmer for longer hairs. In my opinion it won’t be ideal for skin fades, but it will work nevertheless. Hanging hooks are provided which are good for storage on your working station if you wish to hang your shaver.

If that’s not an option, definitely consider an electric shaver that fares better with longer/flat-lying hairs. Noise

I use the brush to remove most of them, but I do not brush the cutters for the same reason why I don’t brush the foils. Gold and titanium hypoallergenic double foil offset system: the ultra-thin dual foil head offers a perfect cut to "hug" the profile of the head or face. My unit was bought from the USA, so the charger came with a USA plug. If you’re getting it from Europe, the charger will have an EU plug. Battery life and charging

Your shave will take a long time as the cutting system of the FOILFX02 is really basic (two micro-foils) and catching longer or flat-lying hairs will require a lot of passes. And speaking of it, the foils get warm after a longer session but not to the point of becoming uncomfortable (that might change as the foils and blades wear out). I would also say that the slimmer head and staggered foils make it more suitable for that compared to an Arc 5 which I’ve also used for skin fades. So I would strongly suggest looking for an alternative if you shave every 3 days for example as the BaBylissPRO FOILFX02 will struggle to catch longer or flat-lying hairs. The power button also allows you to adjust the cutting speed by simply sliding it up; it goes from 6000 to 7000 rpm.This blade is really great for fading and it is similar to a flat fade blade. With its steeper angle, and its high precision, it is perfect for barbers and stylists who don’t want to tap but to punch the lines. The FX3 will give you more punching sensations. But using it on short hair with the lightest pressure will be the most important thing for getting a reasonably comfortable shave with the BaBylissPRO FOILFX02. That said, even if it’s more comfortable than its main competitors from Andis and Wahl, I wouldn’t say the FOILFX02 is suitable for users with sensitive skin. This BaBylissPRO works really well for that, although I would have preferred slightly narrower foils. The carrying pouch is textile and it’s only good enough to prevent scratches, smudges and dust from covering the shiny metal shaver.
