Post your Barber Clippers/Liners: Barber Tools Discussion/Questions

Yes, how close are you trying to get? If you open the blade all the way, it is technically a 1 (1/8th of an inch). When you close the blade all the way it's a 0. There's no such thing as an actual 0 because completely zero-gapping the blade would make them dangerous and possibly draw blood. Clippers usually cut 0 at the lowest, and trimmers/outliners are gapped to 000.

Yeah, the range you can cut without guards will be from 1/8" to bald.

No problem! I'm happy to help. You'll probably wanna invest in a guard set, too, if you want to cut higher than 3/16ths (1/8 clipper open +1/16 guard that comes with it).

Yup, those are the best value on the market. Same motor and blade as the Wahl 5-Star Senior I think.

Those are balding clippers or for people who like a really close cut like how T.I. rock his hair. Same motor yes but the blades are different and the way it feels in your hand.


i just got rid of mines and got the andis envy and wahl heros for liners now and I love them. If you like close fades then get the Andis Fade Envys. Both only run like $35 each

I know my stuff. I have been cutting my hair for 20 years now. only been to the barber probably 5 times in those 20 years

I appreciate you trying to help people in this thread, but that is completely incorrect. The Wahl 5 Star Magic Clip is an all around fading clipper that is compatible with Wahl clipper guards. The Magic Clip is $40 and the Andis Envy is $35, but the Magic Clip is way better. Don't waste money on an Andis clipper unless it's the Andis Master. I cut my own hair with the Wahl 5-Star Senior and it fits in my hand just fine. I don't know what you're talking about, homie.

Dude you just agreed with what i said and you have no clue. I have been cutting my own hair and others for 20 years straight,

And you agreed with what i said. A FADE usually take some balding of the skin. The magic star is for tight fade fades and or balding . Basically the blades on the 5 star cut real close

The Andis Envy is not no junk at all trust me. Did you see the reviews. have you ever used them? i have them now and they are one the best all around clippers I ever used.

Nobody cutting their own hair need the andis masters. those are proffesional barber clippers

And the 5 star do not fit in my hand right COMPARED to the Andis Envy. They 5 star are huge.Now if you were cutting somebody else hair they will fit right but when cutting your own hair it is kind of hard compared to the Andis Envy

For the price, quality and cutting the Andis Envys rock!

I didn't agree with you. I was proving that it is logical to bump up from the Envy to the Magic Clip for $5. The fade blade gives you the capability to cut as close as possible, but that doesn't mean that they are only meant for TI fades as you tried to say. You can throw any guard on them from 1/16-8/8 and they fade well. I'm sure the Envy is decent, but don't try and tell people they shouldn't get professional clippers when they can buy them for only $40. You sound like you work for product marketing for the Andis Envy.

I didn't want to stir the pot or anything like that but pretty much how I felt.

I guess whatever works for you though Superb that's the main thing.

I have to post all of the stuff I have.

Soon!

What is the market for some used Oster Fast Feeds? Had it for a year, but got only like 5 cuts out of them.

How much would they fetch if i tossed em on Ebay or something?

Those sound pretty new. I'm just gonna take a guess but you'd probably be able to get at least $40 for them.

Tried to cut my own hair this evening, messed up terribly :smh:

I'm considering just going bald before the morning. What y'all think?
Tried to do a high top fade with the curls, but came out pretty poor

But seriously, You can try to blend it in some more by cutting down the upper portions of the sides. If you're not comfortable with you can just leave it alone and It'll grow back soon enough. Or try mohawk-ish style.
 
I just went shaved it all to the same level as the sides. Gonna line it up tomorrow. The L has been accepted :frown:

Hopefully in a few weeks I'll try again :lol:

I know nothing about cutting hair, but would I be able to use these to take my hair low? I don't care about a line up or anything... Thanks in advance

Yep they can and will get you very low like bald low, that is their strong point. The blades is made for that. i sold mines tho for $20

I picked them up from wall mart to start of with when I first started cutting my hair I liked them for the money. Now that I got the andis masters I dont use them if I could do it all over again I would have just spent a little more the first time and got the masters. Im not saying get the masters, do a little research and find what you like and get them the first time.

Your younger, I been cutting hair for 20 years I know my stuff and I had those clippers. Even with the guard they will cut low. i didnt like that type of cut. The blades is made for low cuts

Why do you think barbers have 6 different clippers? Because it depends on how you want your haircut. Different clippers work different ways by using different blade and motors
