How It Works

The Wahl 5 Star Vapor combines an 8000 RPM brushless motor with Adaptive Speed Control to maintain cutting power on all hair types, from fine to coarse and Afro-textured, without dragging or stalling.

• The motor delivers consistent torque.

• The F32 fade blade creates ultra-smooth blends and tighter graduation.

• The lithium-ion battery gives up to 150 minutes of use, then recharges in about 60 minutes, so it’s ready again between clients.

Simple to use:

1. Charge the clipper.

2. Select the guard/lever position.

3. Use the metal taper lever for micro-adjustments during fades.

4. Brush/clean and oil the blade after service to maintain performance.
   
   

Problems It Solves

Professionals choose this clipper because it helps to:

• Eliminate downtime between clients: Long runtime + fast charge keeps chairs moving.

• Deliver sharper, more consistent fades: The fade-optimised blade makes it easier for less experienced staff to hit modern barbering standards.

• Ergonomic shape: Lightweight build and ergonomic grip support long shifts, helping owners protect teams from MSD-related absences.

• Support higher service pricing: Reliable, premium results help salons justify premium men’s grooming rates in a competitive, high-street market.
