09/24/2024

Everytime Wahl Pro adds a new tool to its lineup, we can’t help but get excited. Their latest innovation to make its debut is the 5-Star Vapor and it’s an absolute game-changer for barbers hoping to achieve flawless bald fades. Equipped with the brand’s new F32 Fadeout™ Blade—the industry’s first adjustable balding blade—this clipper has the ability to seamlessly transition from balding to fading.

“The Vapor is the culmination of Wahl Pro’s world-class innovation and engineering,” said Lance Wahl, Global SVP of Sales & Marketing for Wahl Professional. “Vapor offers a unique solution to the tedious processes of cutting to scalp and blending bald fades. Aside from sharper precision and improved control through new designs, The Vapor’s revolutionary adjusting balding blade will simplify and create a more comfortable experience for those in the chair and behind it.”

There’s so much for barbers to love about Wahl Pro’s new Vapor clipper. For starters, its F32 Fadeout™ Blade is able to move quickly and smoothly over pores, preventing nicks and scrapes, thanks to its deeper, finer, and 50 percent more ball-pointed teeth that are six grams lighter than Wahl Pro’s standard blade. Not only can the F32 Fadeout™ Blade be adjusted for zero gap, but this high-carbon steel blade has PVD chrome and black DLC coatings to keep it cool, is ultra-strong, rust resistant, and remains shaper up to four times longer than standard steel blades.

However, the new blade isn’t the Vapor’s only impressive feature. Offering rapid precision and a powerful cut, this clipper has more power without all the weight. With its high-speed brushless motor that features Adaptive Speed Control, the Vapor is able to consistently provide 8000 RPMS through all hair types and textures, while only weighing 275g, for a lighter hold. For more control, this clipper does have a rubberized no-slip grip material and its metal taper lever and housing are shaped to align with natural hand and finger placement for unmatched comfort.

Priced at $199.99, Wahl Pro’s 5-Start Vapor is currently available for purchase on the brand’s website. To learn more about the clipper, be sure to visit wahlpro.com/ or follow @wahlpro on Instagram.
