Babyliss MT726E Hands-on: Key Takeaways & Performance
I put the Babyliss MT726E to the test on a week's worth of neck growth. Read my breakdown on its blade closeness and efficiency.
In this real-world performance test, we evaluated the Babyliss MT726E using the bare blade against a week of neck hair growth.
While the tool manages to cut down long hairs without pulling, it cannot deliver a flush, skin-close finish.
A secondary cleanup pass with a Philips OneBlade Pro was required to remove the remaining stubble and achieve a smooth skin texture.
Performance & Design Breakdown
- Cutting Closeness: Sub-par for neck cleaning. It lacks a Zero-Gap blade setup, meaning visible stubble remains after the first pass.
- Ergonomics & Power: Lightweight, multi-groomer chassis, but lacks the high-Torque performance found in dedicated professional trimming units.
- Battery System: Provides 60 minutes of cordless use, but the NiMH battery requires a prolonged 8-hour charge time via a proprietary cable.

MyVerdict
- Primary Use Case: Suited strictly for light stubble maintenance and basic face/body grooming. It does not have the motor power or blade geometry for heavy bulk removal.
- Recommendation: Avoid if your priority is sharp line up / edging or a clean neck shave. The requirement for a secondary cleanup tool and the lack of standard USB-C charging makes it inefficient for serious grooming setups.
BEARD CARE TIP
Should I use oil before brushing?
Yes, applying a small amount before brushing or combing can help condition the hair and make it easier to work through, particularly with medium and long beards.
Pristine Beard Oil is one option you can use as part of this simple pre-grooming routine.
