What's up Eddie! I'm a barber in training and been watching your videos for a while man you guys give me motivation to keep going. I'm from Rochester, I was on the wrong path and got addicted to opiates, was bad off for 6 years. I had everything from my own car, place, my own home studio with a soundproof booth, went to college for music engineering, and when I graduated I was working with several artists who lead me down the wrong path. I know we all make our own decisions but it was a "you are who you hang around" kind of thing for me. Soon as you know it I became opiate dependant and got bad. Crashed 3 of my cars I owned over a few years, lost my home, my studio equipment and everything else including my grandmother who passed who raised me like her son. I went through alot Eddie, and told myself enough is enough. I have too much talent to be wasting. Today I'm almost 3 months clean not even a drink. Back to working out too. I don't wanna die man😔and I have a 12 year old son who needs me. I decided to throw myself into a 28 day rehab. Then after that I went into another rehab for 5 weeks. Now I'm in a halfway house for the next 3 months and then going to supportive living for 6 months after this. I'm taking all the help I can get because then there no excuses. I look up to you guys, and have been wanting to get into being a barber for the longest. I just bought a Wahl's Home Kit (model 78524) and a straight blade. Nothing big, but it's a start. I can't afford much more than that for the time being so these will do! I uploaded my first 2 haircuts I did this week with the Wahl's to my Google drive and would love for you to give me some feedback bro! Please, any criticism is good criticism. God bless. 1st haircut (mid fade, comb over) drive.google.com/file/d/1-GADsbjjy3Q6P-6rWpQp--sNmxf0-p7f/view?usp=drivesdk 2nd haircut (mid to high fade, comb over) drive.google.com/file/d/1-CT_7r_RNmIaI1Z9jUgma43oOeaXHDMN/view?usp=drivesdk Anyone else thats reading, all feedback and criticism is welcome, pleeeeease!!!! Thanks guys!!!!
Eddie is one of THE best and trusted sources on youtube and for honest and transparent product reviews in my opinion, ESPECIALLY if he can stand to give Babyliss the Number 1 spot even though he is with Gamma, that's says it all
You're a great teacher, a great barber I'm watching from middle east I've seen a loooooot of barbers tutorials and so far You're the best Keep it up bro 💪
The detailers are good but I still haven't figured out how to zero gap em without cutting my head off. Anyone have any suggestions on how to get em right.
@@jasonkidd1689 ...all i can tell ya is mine came set up truly "zero gapped" right outta the box, & thats not a good thing, cause they were cutting my clients, i actually had to back em off a bit ...of coarse we all know that zero gapped is just a "slang" term & to be truly "zero" gapped would render the trimmer unusable & would draw blood every time they contacted skin, which these actually were... but after backin them off a tiny bit it did the trick, & they still cut closer than anything else in my arsenal, but no longer cut my customers... but admittedly, there doesnt seem to be as much room for adjustment on these as opposed to the gammas, the babyliss, or the andis...
I feel the Babyliss blades are sharp but are no where near as comfortable as GTX blades. And there is a stand available for the skeletons. I make fast charging stands.
I guess im asking the wrong place but does anybody know a trick to log back into an instagram account?? I was dumb lost my account password. I would love any help you can give me!
New to the beard game and have been trimming my beard with different barbers and some have dropped the 1 st 2 names on your list. I will try the gamma on my first purchase and see the results for my self. Thank you kindly for this channel and your honest review's. I appreciate it!! Keep up the good work💪😎🤘
What I’ve learned about being a Barber is that you have to fine the product and equipment that works for you. Of course you want something that is sharp, but it all requires skill. You can have the tools, but don’t have the skills and it still doesn’t matter.
I use the wahl li as my work horse And making guidelines, the Absolute hitters I dropped them and they broke LOL but overall you can’t go wrong with the FX , that’s my go to.
I'm surprised you didnt have the Andis slimline 2 on their. If only you could've substituted the Andis slimline for the Andis slimline 2. They not be on the radar but their definitely in that top 5 in my opinion esp. w/ the gtx blade.
Hi Eddie, this is good stuff based on this I think you can help me. I like to use a trimmer to shave. The idea is to leave a tiny bit of shadow not like an electric shaver. I do this every day or two and the consumer trimmer don’t last, they dull out in a few months and don’t hold up, too poorly made. I hold them flat, not on the edge. Do you think the Gamma Hitter is a good option? One of these on edge like most of the clips in this review? Something better not listed here?
My man! Your channel has came along way since I first started watching! The video looks super crisp and the audio sounds great! Way to go Eddie keep it up!🤘😎
Been living in California for 9 years and still haven't found a barber. Their style of cutting is not for me. They push your hair line back your corners will be slanted and wide as the blade they cut with. They round up your front line up due to pushing your hair line back. Smh. I miss my PHILLY BARBERS!!!
@@dame3x Of course I can't speak for all of California but as I travel around the Inland Empire section, I have yet to find a barber or even see anyone with a decent cut. They're not sharp, the hairlines are receding, the Beards aren't full, etc
Born n raised in Modesto ca and its hard to find a barber, I go in and ask for no line up in 99 percent of chairs I sit in. 2007-2013 barbers in modesto ain't been the same.
Yeah, i don't know how the Hitters are better with a slow rpm. Evo has the power, probably just the blade needs to be set right and it will be up there with the babyliss i fx i reckon
Nothing to me hits harder to this day like the andis gtx. Zero gap em right and there is no competition to this day. Yeah its old, yeah its corded, but still the best imo its legendary. I still go back to it if my cordless trimmers aint cutting the hair i need it to.
Just wondering I googled a gamma absolute hitter it came up on Amazon not the best reviews at all Everybody's mentioning that the blade that came with it is not the right one? Thoughts?
Great video! I do think the Evo with the ECM gtx blade kit may be #1 even though I don't have it. Reason for me saying that is I have the gold FX and love them but my Renphos with the ECM gtx blade kit are slightly edging them out and I've heard from people I genuinely trust that the EVOs are even better than my Renphos so..... 🤷🏽♂️
@ivymaccuts which Renphos do you like? Are they the $30ish dollar trimmers which are actually $25 ATM on Amazon...i am on a budget and want to get best trimmer for $30 to $50..how do Renphos compare to Andis slimline? Let me know thanks
@@TheLANDSQUID yeah it's those, 100% than Slimlines in my opinion IF you change the blade. But you gotta do the swap either for a detailer blade or for a Andis blade. I have a video on my channel where I compare them to the gold FX Trimmers and talk about the parts you would need.
Whats your openion about Kemei 5027, kemei 1973a(or i5s) an kemei km129? Alot of people are using them with Wahl blades!! And which one of them is more powerful to cut long hair?
Wahl cordless detailers are the best. Iv used everyone except the bevels. I use them for debulking as well too. Not a good habit but that’s how I use them as well
Hey what's up man... I'm looking for something to shave my beard with that gets super close. At the moment I have an Andis T-Outliner that I've had since 2008 and just wanna get something better if possible. Which of there would you say does the best job at that. Thanks
After using the Evo with the Ultimate Blade for little bit of time, what’s your opinion on them now? How do they compare to the Babyliss FX? The Evos with the Ultimate blade just went on sale the other day and I’m in the market for a new trimmer, and those caught my eye but I’m not sure what to get.
I have 1 whal detailer for debulking and preparing it for my foil shavers in a fade...the other detailers are strictly for lining up. Personally I like them better than the skeletons
@@kathypear2540 i dont mean debulking as in a lot of hair i do my first guide line open lever then follow it up with my trimmers to set a finer guidline babyliss out perform the detailers in that you could debulk with them it just takes a toll on them in the long run but i got two of each for that
Not a fair review at all! Everything you posted had upgraded blades but yet the detailer, and andis had original blades witch is not fair at all! And to me detailer wins easily! Nothing cuts bulk faster! Right out the box perfect blades without cutting anyone unlike your number 1 & 2!! Gold fx has to adjust out the box pulls underneath the chin! But again imo!
Can you do a review of the newer Babyliss fx with the graphite blade. The black and silver models now come with the graphite blade and has longer teeth.
Nice video man! Can I ask you what trimmer you would use for super sharp outlining and pattern work? I used the Wahl hero trimmers for a long time but they died on me and I'm looking for something new. Even if I were to change the blades on the trimmer what's your suggestion? ✌️
Why does my babyliss snag out of the box and its like putting scissors to my neck when doing my beard ive zero gapped it still thw blade once seated on the skin is sharp ???? Here in Australia it costed 269 on sale
One thing I HATE about these devices is the built-in obsolescence - my last one worked perfectly then the battery died, but was sealed in and couldn't be changed.
@@vaggelisg1735 no but look up a CZcams barber name cuts by reggie he put one on a wahl senior but if you talking about the trimmer blade idk if so my bad
Have you ever took apart the andis slimline I found that my charging issue came from the wire soldered to the battery actually comes loose once it was soldered back no charging issue
PLEASE help - I just bought the Gamma Absolute Hitter, should i get the ceramic blade if all I do with it is trim my head really short no size on or keep the stock blade?
Which one do you think is the best to shave off the beard ? I’m looking for one that will get a precise cut and also that it won’t cut me. Thanks and I love the vid
Hey man what’s the best for balding out? I find I’m taking way to long balding out with the gold fx it snags if I’m too quick.. tryna replace it maybe even just a new blade

Keep it up bro 💪
yeah, ive had exact same charging issues with the slim lines ...& the wahl detailers are awesome & have become my daily "go-to"

He’s ranked/raved babyliss #1 more than once so this is real
I guess im asking the wrong place but does anybody know a trick to log back into an instagram account??
I was dumb lost my account password. I would love any help you can give me!
I love the Gold FX... 1 main thing i dont like about it is the alight hesitation when u turn it on
The reason it does that is because it has a brushless motor in it that's how brushless motors work I hope this helps
These are the types of videos I miss from you Eddie!!! Thank you for your honestly!!!
@@CZcamsBarberAcademy hey buddy which one do you recommend I only use it for my beard lines and under my neck thanks for your time ?
I dont know but in my opinion the wahl twide blade is goat and Ive been cutting hair for 25 years
New to the beard game and have been trimming my beard with different barbers and some have dropped the 1 st 2 names on your list. I will try the gamma on my first purchase and see the results for my self. Thank you kindly for this channel and your honest review's. I appreciate it!! Keep up the good work💪😎🤘
Andis is very good, but price wise with performance I'd always recommend babyliss over andis.
Damm bro I wish I had those all I use is the conair clippers from Walmart

and i seen mofos get done with shitty as clippers to🤘😂
How much is the fine?
You do pub for babylis
Just wanna say thank you for all the info you give I live following your channel
I use the wahl li as my work horse And making guidelines, the Absolute hitters I dropped them and they broke LOL but overall you can’t go wrong with the FX , that’s my go to.
Still haven't got to use any of the Gamma or the stylecraft products so I definitely picked the FX Babyliss trimmer bro
Style craft made in China, a definite negative for me. Babyliss FX I love but who doesn’t?
@@Longenecker1776 the babyliss trimmers are made in Japan so no difference
If you ever come to Las Vegas, come visit us at our barber supply store, The Sharp Shop. I like your channel.
I'm gonna be looking for u guy's

You are right! I wish I never bought the Andis cordless t-outliners I put the GTX blade on them with the ceramic blade and still no bueno.
Thank you for introducing me to the P3 blade!
Great video with awesome information son. Thanks very much, buddy.
I still want to see EVO vs Hitter comparison. Really want to try those EVO but if hitters are really better, maybe not...

video quality is superior great review!
My wireless T outliner hits crazy man as hard as my corded too.
Is it 0 gapped
Just wondering I googled a gamma absolute hitter it came up on Amazon not the best reviews at all
Everybody's mentioning that the blade that came with it is not the right one?
Thoughts?
bro casually cut one side of his beard LMFAOO .
Great review
It seems like the perfect trimmer would be the gold fx blade on the gamma hitter
Thanks for the video! Hitter or Skeleton for self shaving?
thanks Eddie, great review

Great video, how did that crow taste? 🤣 Can you comment why magnetic motors are better. Micro usb is outdated the standard should move to USB-C.
Bevel with the t liner blade is number 2
Another insightful video bro I absolutely love my Hitters but I must admit I can’t wait for the new blade. #eddiesarmy
Use the gold fx to cut wood as a side job 🥱🤣🤣
Wahl cordless detailers are the best. Iv used everyone except the bevels. I use them for debulking as well too. Not a good habit but that’s how I use them as well
Great video once again 👏🏽
What's your top 3 detachables?
I agree with this, i do love the babyliss trimmer i fell in love with 😍 BUT havnt tried the gamma trimmers so 🤷♀️

so what is the best trimmer for lining up and debulking
idk why my detailers is good at lining but for debulking its not really good
@@kakanomanches3782 don’t think the detailers were built for debulking. You need a clipper that has standard or a deep blade for that.
