Wahl 5 Star Shaver #8061-100 – Cord/Cordless Finishing Tool

The last sixty seconds of the haircut, handled.

The Wahl 5 Star Shaver/Shaper #8061-100 is a cord/cordless single-foil finishing shaver built for barbers who need a bump-free close shave on necklines, bald fades and edges. Its hypoallergenic gold foil and cutter bar assembly runs off a rotary motor and a rechargeable NiCad battery rated for up to 60 minutes of cordless use. At 4.6 inches and 5.8 ounces it is small enough to work one-handed around an ear without repositioning the client.

• Finish bald fades without irritation: a hypoallergenic gold foil designed to shave close while reducing razor bumps.
• Never stop mid-client: cord/cordless operation means a dead battery is not a dead tool, just plug in.
• An hour of touch-ups per charge: the rechargeable NiCad battery runs the rotary motor up to 60 minutes.
• Works around ears and behind necks: 4.6 inches long and 5.8 ounces, so your hand stays out of your own sight line.
• Rebuildable rather than disposable: the foil and cutter bar come off as one assembly (#7031-100) and are replaced as a unit when they dull.

Questions Barbers Ask

Is the 8061 a single foil or a double foil shaver?

Single foil. It uses one hypoallergenic gold foil and cutter bar assembly, sold as replacement part #7031-100.

What battery does it use, and how long does it run?

A rechargeable NiCad battery rated for up to 60 minutes of cordless run time. Wahl does not publish a charge time figure for this model.

Can I use it while it is plugged in?

Yes. It is a cord/cordless tool, so it runs off the charging plug when the battery is flat.

When should I replace the foil?

When it stops cutting close or starts to catch. The foil and cutter bar are replaced together as one assembly rather than individually.

Why Barbers Love It

This is the shaver a lot of shops have had on the station for twenty years, and the reason is that it is thin and light enough to steer with your fingertips. Necklines are the tell on a haircut, and a heavy shaver makes you lift your wrist and lose the line. The NiCad pack is old-school and it does want a full run-down now and then, but the tool itself has outlasted a lot of newer designs.
