  • In this video I will show you guys how to swap blades on your different clippers. Most of the main clipper companies blades are interchangable so you can swap them out to your preference. I'll also show you how to zero gap them if you prefer to have your clippers set close for taking out the bald guideline.

    Best zero gap video out there! Thanks for mentioning about the guard rattling when you zero gap, i feel like no other channels mention that and people just assume their clippers are broken when its meant to be that way when its absolute zero gapped hence why most barbers use 2 clippers ( one completely zero gapped, one slightly less zero gapped like yours)

    Excellent. Although I’ve been a student barber for a while now, I still learned that when the clipper is zero gapped, once you put a guard on it, it’ll rattle and that is what happened with my clippers once I zero gapped them but didn’t the the reason behind it. Thank you so much Sean.

    My question is about the left/right alignment of the bottom blade. The top blade moves left and right, and each time you switch on the clippers then switch it off, the top blade doesn't stop in the same position every time. So when aligning the bottom blade, how do you account for this? What position of the top blade do you go off to set the bottom blade? Thanks

    Im using the Gamma + Boosted with a taper blade, just put it on a few days ago. I noticed when I did a cut that it rattled when I put a guard on it. Fixed that issue. My newest issue I dont know how to fix is, when the clipper is closed, and i open it to the next click, the left side of the blade (when your looking at the clipper) rises slightly higher than the right side. Once i go to the other clicks, it levels back out. I changed out the bracket but still does the same thing..left side rises slightly on the first click.
