Manscaped just unveiled their newest creation, the Chairman™ Pro, and by the looks alone, it’s no ordinary shaver. Here’s how it sizes up.
The Chairman™ Pro is specifically designed for effortless beard trimming (compared to other Manscaped products intended for other areas of your body), and it features some innovative tech that’s a step above its other products.
It claims to easily give you a baby-face smooth finish or a rugged stubble, but you’ll never truly know how effective a product is until you test it, and that’s what this review is for. You’ll get an in-depth look at the Chairman™ Pro’s features and follow along to see if this electric foil shaver is worth the hype.
About Manscaped
Manscaped is a men’s grooming company founded in 2016 by entrepreneurs Paul Tran and Steve King to address “below-the-belt” needs. In 2018, they appeared on Shark Tank and received an investment from Mark Cuban and Lori Greiner, which propelled them to national recognition.
Manscaped started with its flagship “Lawn Mower” trimmer series and has since become a full lineup of men’s self-care products, with everything from body trimmers to skincare. You’ve likely seen their humorous ads on your Instagram feed or maybe even on TV, as they have partnerships with leagues like UFC and Formula 1.
Today, Manscaped is one of the go-to brands for electric shaving products.
Key Features
Straight from the package, the Chairman™ Pro looks sleek and sexy with its black and dark gray finish. Manscaped is popular for creating stylish and functional tools, and the new entry doesn’t disappoint. This bad boy has two interchangeable blade heads: The four-blade attachment for a close shave and the precision stubble trimmer. They’re magnetic, making them easy to remove and attach when needed.
Both have SkinSafe® technology, so unlike conventional buzzers, they won’t nick, pull, yank, or cut. The FlexAdjust tech allows the head to pivot, making reaching tricky areas around your jawline or neck easy.
You can also keep it in place through the precision lock, conveniently located at the side. It has three predefined lock positions, so you can find your comfort zone with each use. Equipped with an LED spotlight, this trimmer ensures you’ll never miss a spot.
Like most Manscaped products, the Chairman™ Pro is waterproof. You can quickly rinse it off on the sink or use it in the shower; it’ll work either way. The clipper runs up to 75 minutes for each full charge, and an LED indicator at the bottom tells you how much juice it has.
Upgrade With the Chairman™️ Pro Package
Aside from the trimmer, Manscaped also offers the Chairman™️ Pro Package. It includes the electric shaver, the brand’s Power Shave Gel, and a Face Shave Soother. Made with dermatologist-approved ingredients, the gel allows for a comfortable shave if you want to cut your hair close. It’s infused with witch hazel, apple extract, and white willow bark, which can help protect your skin and reduce nicks.
The Face Shave Soother is an aftershave serum with cooling properties that calm redness and reduce irritation. Imbued with red algae, menthyl lactate, and vitamin B3, it locks in hydration, leaving you with moisturized and fresh skin.
Both face care solutions are free from harmful chemicals like parabens, alcohol, sulfates, and phthalates. They’re also cruelty-free and vegan, so they’re not only healthy for your skin but for the environment, too.
The package also includes a travel-friendly storage pouch for your Chairman™️ Pro trio. It keeps them all safe and easy to store in a backpack or luggage. The clipper has a Travel Lock safety feature, which prevents it from accidentally running and helps prevent battery drain, especially when not in use. The bundle also includes a power adapter and USB-C cable, allowing you to charge the shaver when necessary.
The Chairman™️ Pro Package costs slightly over $180, a slight increase from the shaver’s $150 price tag. If you want your shaving sessions to be as comfortable as possible, this option might work best for you.
Shaving With the Chairman™️ Pro
You’ve got a look at the Chairman™️ Pro’s design and features, but how does it fare once put into action? While you can get the Pro Package with extra skincare solutions, I will only talk about the device and its use.
For starters, I typically use the Braun Series 3 because of its simplicity. When I first took the Chairman™️ Pro out of the package, I was pleasantly surprised at how premium its weight felt. It almost felt like unboxing a new iPhone as opposed to a new shaver. That’s also something I really appreciate about Manscaped: they up the whole electric shaver game from packaging to actual shaving results.
I let my “beard” grow the same amount I typically do before I shave (about three days), so when it came time for testing, my face was very ready for a clean shave. My first impression was how smooth and flexible the razor is.
The four-blade foil (the one you should use if you want a close shave) blended perfectly with the contours of my face, meaning the shaver head did most of the work rather than me having to flip my wrist in every direction like I typically do with my Braun.
As far as shaving itself, I absolutely loved how smooth the whole experience was. It glided across my face even when I didn’t use any shaving gel or cream.
Here’s a before and after photo of how the Chairman™️ Pro actually performed:
The shaver is ergonomic in the hand and feels pleasant on the face. As you can tell, it does an acceptable job of getting every last hair. That said, no electric shaver is perfect.
One of the things I love about the Braun I typically use is a built-in trimmer, which helps with those random hairs that don’t get caught by the foil trimmer. Unfortunately, the Chairman™️ Pro doesn’t have that trimmer, so I had a few small hairs that it didn’t pick up.
Other than that, the Chairman™️ Pro lives up to the brand’s mission by acting as one of the most convenient manscaping tools available. It gets the job done the way you want it and feels amazing. It works best paired with the skincare products, but you won’t have problems using it on its own as I did.
The Verdict: Is It Worth It?
The Chairman™️ Pro is a premium shaver that matches its expensive price tag with innovative technology. The magnetic interchangeable heads allow you to trim your beard however you want. It’s excellent for providing a close shave or leaving stubble while making your grooming sessions a little more bearable.
Pair it with the Power Shave Gel and Face Shave Soother serum; you’ll feel fresh after each groom. The shaver does what it claims: it provides an effortless shave.
It doesn’t fall short on aesthetics and build, either. The dark finish gives it a sexy, masculine vibe and has enough weight to it, too. It doesn’t look and feel like an average electric trimmer or cheaply made.
The new details, like the LED spotlight and battery display, add modern convenience to an already elevated experience. The precision lock and pivotal heads also ensure you won’t miss a hair or mess up your style. Overall, the Chairman™️ Pro is a good option for any man who wants to have the best grooming experience possible. It’s beautifully sleek, functional, and modern.
All of that being said, I think there are better options if you’re purely looking to get a close shave. As I mentioned, I typically use the Braun Series 3 razor. It costs anywhere from $40 to $60, and you can get it on Amazon. If budget is of concern, I’d recommend going with something like that.
I’d consider the Chairman™️ Pro when you perhaps want to keep your stubble but also have close shaves. Manscaped lets you do both, whereas a budget razor won’t be as good at multiple functions.
