The 3-3/4 FC stands for ( Finnish cut ) the 3-3/4 has a skip tooth blade and helps you cut off all the bulk then go over it with the (FC) blade ! Hope this helps !
thanks for the video bro. seriously. great job explaining the blades for a new comer like me who wants to know all they can at a fast rate. thank you for your time you given us. much love
@jpthabarber, where is a good place to buy these andis ceramic detachable blades for my Bgrc clipper? Amazon did not seem like the best choice, for their supply/selection seems a little limited. Thanks man!
Hello. The 2 blade is the equivalent of using the 2 guard. If your blending use the 2 3/4 because it lays down to what a 2 is. It also depends on the hair texture you are cutting. I hope this helps?
NOW THE 0A I THOUGHT THAT WAS A "ZERO A" ?? AND THE 2 3/4 WOULD THAT BE THE 3? CUZ IVE ALWAYS USED MY 3 1/2 AS MY 3,,,,VERY INTERESTING VIDEO JP !!! THANK YOU FOR SHARING !!! OH AND LASTLY MY "000" I CALL MY TRIPLE ZERO,,,YOU CALL IT THE 3 WHAT? AND SO GLAD YOU POINTED OUT THE NO SCALP LOGO IVE NEVER SEEN A BLADE WITH THAT !!!! THIS HAS BEEN SUPER HELPFUL !!!!!
@jpthabarber I mean like, can you do a video of you giving somebody a Cesar with that 5/8 or the other bigger blade. I want to see how much hair it leaves on.
I have a question. I'm going overseas and I brought some oster 76. I am looking for a 2 1/2 attachment. They do not make them. Is Andes blades compatible with osters
Im a barber that makes a lot skin, bald fades, if Im going to use a detachable blade clipper is better the oster detachable blades or andis, whats the difference and whats the better option?
Gabriel Lugo nice. I'm a licensed barber that does a lot of skin/bald fades as well. It doesn't matter which brand of blades you use as long as you use them correctly. Andis has a lot more options that Oster in my opinion because they offer in between blade sizes rather than the usual blades but Oster to my opinion run stronger than Andis. It's all preference though. They key is the barber. You make the clipper and the blades not the other way around.
Thanks man. I add to my arsenal the andis supra zr cordless and I make this questions because i need to buy some detachable blades and need a good reference. Some say andis blades are better because they have the ceramic ones, and other people say that oster blades are sharper
Gabriel Lugo I understand and Im happy to help by brother it's all preference. I have been going back and forth whether to get the Supra ZR's or the Oster Octane's. I'll figure it out soon enough
i noticed some blades like the 1 3/4 are Andis blades they look like they are the same as oster 76 blades Will the Andis blades fit the oster 76? Because there are certain sizes that Oster does not make the 1 and 3/4 being one and 2 3/4 blade being another one..If they fit the oster that would be great! So far the blades I do have are a 1 1 1/2 2 3 1/2 Thanks for any info on that!!
Elliot. I'm a barber student and had the same question just a week ago. To answer your question, yes, Oster and Andis detachable blades are universal to all detachable clippers. My set of blades are mostly Oster detachable blades but I have an Andis BGRC that I use them with. If you go with having a mix set of Andis/Oster detables just make sure to check the millimeter (mm) size instead of the larger number because there are minimal difference between the blades. Let me know if this was helpful.
Braulio Gonzalez Thanks and yes very helpfull didnt know about the minimal difference between the blades...I just found out you can get plastic guards for the osters too but they only fit certain blades..wont fit on a 1 and above but they do fit a trip 000 ;;I have just gotten back into doing hair after a 12 --15 yr break after 3 weeks back im feeling more confident ...lol except need a little more brushing up on those damn skin fades ...im a cosmetologist but was also taught by barbers in the shop i worked at in New York for about 12 years. but, after 15 years out of it you do forget alot..Some people crack me up theyre like oh it's just like riding a bicycle ...haha got news for em it's just a little more complicated than that ..heh heh

cool thanks! i use oster 76 and they only make certain sizes im glad that there is another company thats makes the sizes that oster doesnt AND that they fit..I also use the Andis master so the chart above would be helpful cause i do know the detachable number 2 for example will be a little shorter than using a clipper with the plastic guards...So yes thats a helpful link.Thanks!
+jpthabarber oh ok for sure. Would you say it's closer than a oster 00000 or the same? Because I'm trying to find a blade that's the same as a Wahl balding clip or an edger so I can save the life of my liners lol
@johnniepbrickwall : I'm sorry ANDIS actually has a chart that breaks dawn sizes of guards to detachable blades. Just Google ANDIS conversion chart and it tells u
Np, Some people on here are students. Which isn't a bad thing because we all need to learn from somewhere. Plus it'll bring up your views if that interests you =)
@@Symmetry_pro_barber can you help me ? I have the andis superliner and wanted to get a gold blade for it but I can't find the blade online. Will the t outliner blade fit the superliner?
Can someone help me out? I recently bought a pair of 76ers and it's my first detachable blade clipper. I just wanted to know the difference between the normal numbered blades and the ones that have "A" at the end (For example the difference between a 1 an a 1A). I'd appreciate it if someone could help me out over here.
+DJ Takin' It Back I've never done that. Alcohol doesn't disinfect blades in my experience. It may get the hair out and all but if you need to clean and disinfect use Andis Cool Care or dip your blades in Clip and Dip.
+jpthabarber I don't like using that Cool Care because I heard it has cancer causing ingredients. I do have Oster Blade Cleaner. Will the blade cleaner disinfect the blades?
I was thinking of getting some more detachables but was unsure if the andis would work properly on my Oster 76ers. Andis has blades that the osters donot and I wanted to get those sizes. Have you found that they work well on the 76ers?
Both. You will learn a different way to fade and you will be quicker but you get better at fading by actually fading. You have to be more than a one trick pony. Develop yourself to the point where you can fade with adjustable clippers, fade with detachable Clippers, clipper over comb, and use shears. The more work you do the better your technique will become. The better technique you have the more money you will make
+jpthabarber - Turns out they do. Guys can save money if you're just using them for personal clippers and don't care about brand name. I got some Wahl KM2s off ebay for 20 bucks, and they fit all the blades. Got a 1.5 and 2 blade for trimming my waves and it's like night and day for the ease over the adjustable clippers with guards.
+jpthabarber - One plus of the regular clippers is they do give you a #1 blade most times. Mine came with a .8mm #30 blade, thats like between a 000 and 0A
They do completely different things, 76's will take off bulk and plow through anything, you can do fades and what not but you will need to buy a lot of blades. Masters are for fine touches, blending lines and what not.
The reason why the fd will cut you, is not that it's only this but the main reason why it will cut you is the wide gap between each blade allowing it to grad the skin easier
I have a question, lets say I have the oster 76 & the only blade I got is 000 & i got size 1-10 universal guards and a client wants a 7 all around with a taper, do i jus put a size 7 universal guard on the 000 blade ?

thanks for the video bro. seriously. great job explaining the blades for a new comer like me who wants to know all they can at a fast rate. thank you for your time you given us. much love
Fc stands for Fur Cutter. Commonly used for animals
Justice LaMont thank you for clarification of the truth
Merry Christmas back to you!
Thanks for the vid. Looking to start using detachable's. Needed the explanation. Good look. Blessings...
Great setup man
so nice to credit your teacher ....
FC actually stands for "Final Cut" it's the blade used to smooth out the cut.
Lmao

@jpthabarber you inspired me and now I got the full set ordered..waiting on my 2 3/4 FC also. Not a common blade size?
Thx for the video, which ones do you use for fading?
Great video...
Nice set I'm getting up there bruh like you buy little by little love the detachables
Exactly. Good job man
Nice blade set
Thank You. It has grown since
Thank you for getting the sizing correct .some on youtube are spreading misinformation
Which can be used for a dark fade?
what clippers do u use?
You said your 3 1/2 & 3 3/4 were like your 3 & 4. Can you explain how the detachable and plastic guards match up?
Where did you buy this set from?
Can you do a demo on the 5/8 or the other big one?
Can you tell me what one is like using a #2 guard? I’m tired if the guards.
Hello. The 2 blade is the equivalent of using the 2 guard. If your blending use the 2 3/4 because it lays down to what a 2 is. It also depends on the hair texture you are cutting. I hope this helps?
@MikeEst91 : most online barber supplies have those blades. amazon and eBay or you can order directly from ANDIS themselves.
thank bro for the video, i am trying to find out if the oster Cryogen X blade will fit me oster classic 76
yes
I have a Oster classic 76. And I noticed you had a Oster blade in your collection, are the Andis and Oster Blades interchangeable?
Alex Davis Yes they are.
The 1a is the same thing as 1 whal guard open or closed?

No it isn't. I still have to follow it up with a trimmer or razor It does snag if not oiled.

+Chretien Gerada it's a little closer but if your trying to save your liners either use the balding clipper or 6x or 5x blades.
do your detachables get hot fairly quickly?
do you use Andies clippers or the Osters
I use everything. I don't want to limit myself

yes... a 000 is about the same as an adjustable clipper with the lever closed
You should’ve broke down the measurements on each one but dope video shows me which’s ones I need to get

TheExpatStylist thank you. I was trying to find this. This is exactly what I have been trying to tell people
The FC means Finish Cut
FC stands for "final cut" which I have no idea what that means lol
the 3 3/4 fc is a dog grooming blade. FC means finishing cut.
Good to know Aimee Clauer. Thanks
+jpthabarber no problem :-)
No it means fur cut
@aubrie2307 : ThanksAubrie
4 fo 80$ thats good
im pretty sure fc means finish cut
Final Cut. Use as a finishing blade
fc stands for fine cut
finish cut, mostly for animal grooming. one would use the fc blade to finish cutting animal hair instead of bulk cutting with it becos there are other blades of the same size that are better for mowing through knots and tangled fur
there is a website is pay a blade good price not expensive
Then use it because I pieced mine together. The cheapest I found the blades were 19 bucks from 000000. - 1 1/2
What are you saying. This is my 5.... this is my 4.... eye? What is the nickname instead of saying 00000?
Hes saying "aught"... it means "zero"....like you ever heard somebody talk about a "30 aught six" rifle?? Its a 30 06..
