Lucky Tango Been studying like crazy the past couple days lol, thank you🤟🏽
thank you thats a lot of good useful info for me, now i understand!
Thanks man this was the only video I could find explaining the reasoning and use of for a zero gap lol been practicing so I can cut my own hair lol
Glad I was able to help!
Thank you for explaining what a zero gap actually is!
Rather than just explaining, this video would been more useful had you shown the actual cutting on video so we can see the difference between a stock blade vs a zero gap. Please do a demo. Thanks.
Appreciate the feedback, most def that sounds like a clip I should have added! I wanted to make this video for the beginners who didn't know anything about Zero gapping with brief explanation. Hope it helped!

Gave an intro, played an intro, gave us time to guess the answer, and still answered the question in 3:21, STRAIGHT TO THE POINT, WE LOVE TO SEE IT
Appreciate that! the goal is to start creating content straight to the point for you guys!
Very helpful #All the way from Tanzania where there is no school for barber and nobody give a shit about that .💯😍
Never heard of zero “gapping” until I typed it in Amazon search. I always thought zero just meant the length it leaves which it does, but there is always a tiny length of hair left when I cut with my Wahls so it was confusing. Good explanation.
Zero gapping isn't needed but most barbers prefer it. Remember liners are used to only create shape while the straight razor gives the sharpness to a lineup👌🏽
Well explained. Just got an Andis
Finally the upload🙏🏻

Zion Wilson Hope this was helpful, appreciate you!
This was very informative! Thank you!
Well put thanks for knowing #1
Cool!!
Thank you bro!
If I zero gap, how will it effect when I throw on guards on the clippers? Or will it still cut the guard #
The purpose to zero gapping a clipper is to knock out the first initial guideline(lever open). You won’t see a HUGE difference with guards, it will just make blending easier
Thank you
My moving blades shift to one side and the other every time i turn my clipper off is that normal? Both of my clipper are like that. If u can help me that be great thanks you!
What are best clipper or trimmer to zero gap
But when you zero gap a clipper, doesn't it scratch on the guard while the lever is closed?
This happens but not everytime, I notice it happens more with a taper blade due to the width of the blade. A simple adjustment will fix that issue
gon ahead and drop the how to zero gap vid bro. 4 more likes

Thank you🙏🏼
Hi. So thank you for the clarification. Please, I got a zero gapped clipper/trimmer and barbers have been saying it can't cut long hair and hair styles. What do you say? If it can, how?
When you zero gap ur outliners u shorten the feed, the bottom blade feeds the hair into the cutting blade. So u will find that on some thicker hair textures and around certain areas, like the forehead for example, the trimmer won't want to cut due to the lack of feed. My best advice is to have more than one trimmer, one zero gapped and another one regular, start ur line with the regular one then go over ur line with the zero gapped one to make ur line extra crispy..
Seeing as this video is 3 years old, not sure if your still responding but have a question. I'm a balding guy that uses the Andis outliner to shave my head. I don't want to use an actual razor blade, but I would like to outliner to cut even a bit closer. My concern is that zero gapping for shaving a head my so close it can leave red marks cut my head even if done properly. You think it's okay to zero gap to shave a full head? or is it just for fades and designs?
Great question, I’d recommend zero gapping to an extent. Yes, technique is used for lineups and designs BUT you can adjust the blade SLIGHTLY and it can still improve how close it cuts to the skin. Takes trial and error to find the perfect adjustment to what you’re looking for
@@Arvinmalaca Thanks for replying.
I zero gap, since I could just use the lever for a safer cut.
If my clippers are 0 gapped will I still be able to put on guards ??
Yes, keep in mind sometimes it can grind the guard if adjusted to close
I have a question. Imagine I have a clipper with lever closed 0,5mm and lever open 2,5mm and i zero gap it. Is it now 0mm to 2,00mm because I took 0,5mm away or is it 0mm to still 2,5mm
The answer is...yes, haha zero gapping your blade will overall shorten the cutting length but it won't create a huge effect in your blends other than the bald line.
This is pretty late so you probably know this by now but someone alse might find this helpful. Zero gapping doesnt mean exactly zero gap. When u are zero gapping you are supposed leave small space like 0.3mm, if its fully 0mm it will cut your skin
Arvin, I got a question, is there a way to zero gap a oster fast feed without the ceramic blade?, because I heard that a ceramic blade makes them louder and can you tell us where you got the ceramic blade from on your fast feed?
FBI The FBI wants tips from me😳 lol It’s possible with some adjustments to the clipper body itself but I’m not exactly sure how. Ceramic blades made it easier to zero gap. Fast feeds is the quietest clipper I know, I don’t hear a difference with a ceramic blade + ceramic blades stay cooler than other blades and cut the nicest to me
Arvin Malaca man Im new barber and I’ve tried the andis course cutter ceramic blade on my fast feeds but they seem to have a lot of defected blades. Could u recommend a different ceramic blade for the fast feeds I would really appreciate it my guy
Hermano porfavor haz un video en español también no entendí nada y me interesa saber sobre el 0 gap lo que pienso yo que es el 0 gap cuando haces un degradado no se borra la linea completa yo creo que el 0 gap es que el mismo número corte ala primera no?
I wish they factory zero gaped so we don’t got to deal with the adjustment
Luckily barber companies are starting to do this! The review I uploaded came in locked and loaded
bros back after 18 years
