Wahl Professional Launches the 5-Star Vapor™ with the Industry's First Adjustable Balding Blade

Combining a high-powered motor with the new F32 Fadeout™ Blade, barbers can go from bald to fade with the industry's first adjustable blade

STERLING, Ill., Sept. 9, 2024 /PRNewswire/ --  Wahl Professional, the leading and trusted brand in professional grooming and styling, announced today the launch of its latest innovation, the 5-Star Vapor™ featuring the New F32 Fadeout™ Blade, the industry's first adjustable balding blade. Offering rapid precision and a powerful cut, the Vapor™ is designed for barbers to achieve picture perfect bald fades by comfortably transitioning from bald to fade around the scalp area.

The Vapor will be a part of Wahl's 5-Star line of products, which includes the two of the highest selling clippers globally, the 5-Star Magic Clip® and the 5-Star Senior®. These tools and cordless counterparts have become the most trusted, dependable clippers on a barber's station, and the addition of the Vapor™ will further solidify Wahl Pro as the global leader in barbering.

"The Vapor is the culmination of Wahl Pro's world-class innovation and engineering. Vapor offers a unique solution to the tedious processes of cutting to scalp and blending bald fades," said Lance Wahl, Global SVP of Sales & Marketing for Wahl Professional. "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."

The F32 Fadeout™ Blade has deeper, finer, and 50% more ball-pointed teeth that are six grams lighter than Wahl Pro's standard blade, so it can move quickly and smoothly over pores, preventing nicks and scrapes. The high-carbon steel blades with PVD chrome and black DLC coatings keep the blades cool, are ultra-strong, rust resistant, and remain sharp up to four times longer compared to standard steel blades. For the closest cut, the F32 Fadeout™ Blade can be adjusted for zero gap.

In addition to the new blade, the Vapor™ has more power without the weight. Its high-speed brushless motor with Adaptive Speed Control provides consistent power of 8000 RPMs through all hair types and textures, while only weighing 275g, for a lighter hold. For more control, the Vapor™ has a rubberized no-slip grip material, and the new metal taper lever and housing are shaped to align with natural hand and finger placement for unmatched comfort.

The Wahl Pro 5-Star Vapor™ is available for $199.99 on Wahl Pro's official website. For more information, visit Wahlpro.com and follow @Wahlpro on Instagram, TikTok and Facebook.
