Thanks for great video bro, I have made up my mind based on your review and bought the UK version "Super Motor Skeleton" and can't wait to get it in a day of 2
@@hdfootballcoaching2130 Babyliss super motor is mich better and gives much sharper lines and cuts closer than Wahl aqua blade but aqua blade has a fantastic battery life and very versatile
@Farid Amin thanks very helpful. Which do you use most ? What is your go to? I will use it only 2 times a month and likely will use it for 15 min each time just shaping my beard and my hairline only on the odd occasion. Do you think on that basis the Babybliss super motor would stand out? Apparently the babyliss can be used even when plugged in which will mean long term battery performance might be a little less critical what do you think?
3 years later would you still recommend the UK version (I'm in the UK) as a trimmer to do my neckline? I'm looking for something which I can use to avoid needing to use a razor blade or foil. Is this still the best option for that scenario or is there something else you recommend now? Thanks in advance
Love the review bro, do you these cut the same as the gold ones as the gold ones going for just over 170-200 and the silver ones a bill summin . Thanks
Is the only think different between the gold and silver model the colour? I was looking at the gold one in the UK as it was recommened to me but its over £120 in most places but the silver is around £60
i watchen a ton of videos about FX and super motors trimmers and nobody said IF THE BLADES HAS ANY SELF-SHARPENING. And if not - how long they last, either in pro or domestic use? tnx!!!
If you want gold fx to fit to charging stand cut the bottom bit flat so it will fit nicely. I have done my and it works. You need to get rid of hook too.
Been using mine for a 6 months and not sure is it just me or the blade and teeth bites and scratches a bit very sharp . I guess i might have to drop it a bit below zero! Was wondering do you feel them the same
Love the vid bro, i purchased the gun metal finish uk version of the babyliss fx02 foil shavers around 4 months ago but im just curious if the uk verision is the exact same as the gold and chrome fx02 sold over in the us except from the colour? You got any idea on them? Love💪🏻 also how does super motor trimmers compare? I heard the blades are different🤔
Thank you! As far as I'm aware the USA and European version of the shavers are the same. Most of the electronic barbering tools are dual voltage now and work anywhere around the world. The differences seem to be more for marketing purposes. Blades on the trimmer feel the same just a different colour 👍🏾
After cutting with both what do you prefer gold fx or the ones in this video? I'm having trouble deciding which to buy. Are these ones in the vid sharper than the gold after your experience ?
Are the internals the same compared to the US version? Not sure if I should buy them or not as the older uk super motor trimmer babyliss made were disappointing
Everything seems to be the same so far apart the base that's been redesigned to fit the stand. Yeh, I know what to mean about the older version, I stayed away from that one too!
@@Ray-uj5yz yeah. Ordered it from the States, took about 2 months to arrive, had to pay an extra tax on it and after about a month I found the original silver blade hit better
Hi bro i just got the chrome ones ordered them from the usa to the uk but i really want a charging stand for them do your gold ones charge when you put them on ?
Hi, I want to buy the uk model for personal use would you suggest buying it or should I go with something else? I'm bald and I don't want to shave every 2 3 days or use a foil shaver as it's quite a hassle... I want something that gets very close to the skin to get a shaved head kinda look, but I also want to use it for my beard to fade it. Do you think this would be a good purchase for this? Also I can see there are no combs for setting the length in the package, where would I buy those from or is it not compatible with those?
Hey bro, would you recommend the Skeleton Super Motors for beard shape-ups? Or do you reckon I should get the gold ones from the US? I live in the UK so I don’t know where I can buy them tbh
Hey, I'd personally go for the Super Motors as they come with the stand. Other than that I think it's more of a colour preference as the blades can be swapped to fit either. Try Mcr Barber Supplies on Instagram, they've just had a restock and tell him I sent you there 👊🏾
You took all that time and did not actually compare them as in use them ,thats a nonsense comparison, do better than that. Like you use one on one side of your face or a clients face, then use the other on the other side. I have the same trimmer the zero gap to brings the cutting blades like 99% to the guard blade. If you run you finger nail over the cutting blade ,you feel the top of the guard blade. Using this trimmer after using the zero gap tool ,you will need to be very light to the touch when edging up.
I'm really liking the UK version.. prefer it to the Gold FX. I've not had any heating issues and it came zero gapped out of the box. Where did you buy yours from?
DaMian The Barber I bought it online from Salon Direct. I did get in touch with them and they said they’ve raised it with babyliss and advised that the blades need to be oiled which is fair enough. I had to zero gap it myself with the tool that came with it. It hits hard but you can feel the heat on your skin after a few minutes.
Bro bought hese babyliss skeleton they are great for shape ups etc but when taking off bulk of hair it tugs and pulls hair. Are these made for only sharp shape ups etc and not like a trimmer that will take bulk of hair.. Thanks
DaMian The Barber no problem bro keep posting more videos, need more U.K barbers on the scene I just wanted to add if your reviewing a clipper just add a small clip of you using it on a client to make take the video to the next level

Thanks for feedback. Happy to help 👍🏾
How is the super motor skeleton UK doing? And i believe you had the aqua blade too which hits better for lineups ?

They are the same but I actually prefer the UK version. The Super Motor Trimmer have been my go too's lately!
Could you please confirm if the UK blade is actually the same as the gold fx/apart from the colour?
UK blade seems to be a bit sharper to me
Please which clipper or trimmer is good for balding? Thanks
Well done bro. Please how can i other for my gold Fx babyliss trimmer for E.U charger ( 220-240v input)
I don't understand the question??

Hey bro love the video ,, was wondering where did u purchase yours ?
Hey, thanks. Copped them online from Chris and Sons in the UK
If you want gold fx to fit to charging stand cut the bottom bit flat so it will fit nicely. I have done my and it works. You need to get rid of hook too.
Nice!! Thanks for sharing 👊🏾
Dose it charge tho ?
Yes it does
Recommend this model?
BaByliss Pro Skeletonfx 4Artists FX7870GSE?
Been using mine for a 6 months and not sure is it just me or the blade and teeth bites and scratches a bit very sharp . I guess i might have to drop it a bit below zero! Was wondering do you feel them the same
I have mine dropped just a bit below zero. Had no issues with them. Try adjusting them 👊🏾
Did you solve your issue? I also notice the scratch (not biting tho) mainly when doing the neck line on my beard. I have the LoProFX trimmer.

DaMian The Barber: thanks for the fast reply bro! 😃🔥
After cutting with both what do you prefer gold fx or the ones in this video? I'm having trouble deciding which to buy. Are these ones in the vid sharper than the gold after your experience ?
I actually have both in my daily rotation, my gold fx blades are set different to the super motors. The latter are sharper.
Are the internals the same compared to the US version? Not sure if I should buy them or not as the older uk super motor trimmer babyliss made were disappointing
Everything seems to be the same so far apart the base that's been redesigned to fit the stand. Yeh, I know what to mean about the older version, I stayed away from that one too!
Does the charging stand work for the American trimmers also?
Yes.. but needs the base of the American trimmer adapting
which one do you like better? the golden fx or the black super motor? or do you not notice any difference.. I would like to hear from you.
The super motor trimmer is my go to. It's definitely quieter
Am loving the Supermotor but ordered the gold fx blade as it ain’t as slim and doesn’t hit that well
Have u used the gold fx blade on the super motor. I’m thinking of doing the same
@@Ray-uj5yz yeah. Ordered it from the States, took about 2 months to arrive, had to pay an extra tax on it and after about a month I found the original silver blade hit better
@@TheBladerunner73 you try the graphite blade
@@rayoyefeso3052 no. I hear it’s good but more than happy with the silver
Do you have any info why the UK blades doesn't have any text written on them like the US blades? are they exactly the same blades?
UK version seems sharper
Hi bro i just got the chrome ones ordered them from the usa to the uk but i really want a charging stand for them do your gold ones charge when you put them on ?
Yes but you've got to modify the base for it to fit. I made a video on how to do it.. check it out
Hi, I want to buy the uk model for personal use would you suggest buying it or should I go with something else?

Hi, yes I'd highly recommend this for personal use and I don't think you can get guards for this trimmer.
What guards can be used with these? Any link for guard?
I'm not aware of any guards, none came in the box
Hey, did you find any guards for this?
Are the super motor skeleton the same as fx just different names for the Uk and us ?
I think so
Hey bro, would you recommend the Skeleton Super Motors for beard shape-ups? Or do you reckon I should get the gold ones from the US? I live in the UK so I don’t know where I can buy them tbh
Hey, I'd personally go for the Super Motors as they come with the stand. Other than that I think it's more of a colour preference as the blades can be swapped to fit either. Try Mcr Barber Supplies on Instagram, they've just had a restock and tell him I sent you there 👊🏾
I agree there UK ones stand unless you want different colours I have both
You took all that time and did not actually compare them as in use them ,thats a nonsense comparison, do better than that.
Like you use one on one side of your face or a clients face, then use the other on the other side.
I have the same trimmer the zero gap to brings the cutting blades like 99% to the guard blade.
If you run you finger nail over the cutting blade ,you feel the top of the guard blade.
Using this trimmer after using the zero gap tool ,you will need to be very light to the touch when edging up.
Hey dude. Just dropped mine today and the spring inside the blade bracket has snapped. Any idea If you can buy a replacement bracket? Cheers Calum
I've been looking for parts too.. any joy?
Bro, do yours heat up? Mine heat up almost instantly. I’m talking about the UK version. Mine didn’t come zero gapped either...
I'm really liking the UK version.. prefer it to the Gold FX. I've not had any heating issues and it came zero gapped out of the box. Where did you buy yours from?
DaMian The Barber I bought it online from Salon Direct. I did get in touch with them and they said they’ve raised it with babyliss and advised that the blades need to be oiled which is fair enough. I had to zero gap it myself with the tool that came with it. It hits hard but you can feel the heat on your skin after a few minutes.
How does it compare in terms of cutting and lining up?
I think the super motor has the edge!
Where did you purchase the UK model from and where for the USA model?
I bought these online, found them via a Google search. Most places ship worldwide now
Bro bought hese babyliss skeleton they are great for shape ups etc but when taking off bulk of hair it tugs and pulls hair. Are these made for only sharp shape ups etc and not like a trimmer that will take bulk of hair.. Thanks
These are not good for bulk removal . Use something else
Depends on the hair type for bulk removal although I do use it sometimes for that purpose. I purchased it for shaping up as its main job though
Is there a difference between the babyliss skeleton in quality or is it just in color?
I prefer the super motor trimmer, it's definitely quieter
@@DaMianTheBarber 👏🙏
are the blades of the same quality usa FX and uk
I think the UK one has the edge!
Would love to see a review
Waiting for lockdown to end!
I'm from US and honestly I'm going to get the UK version hands down
I highly recommend it!
Is the blade different graphite blade?
Yes
Can you do a skin or bald fade with these?
Yes, the thin blade makes light work of the fades
Bro too much waffle you need to get straight to the point, and what with the infomercial with you logo popping up every few mins .
Thanks for the feedback! 👍🏾
DaMian The Barber no problem bro keep posting more videos, need more U.K barbers on the scene
I just wanted to add if your reviewing a clipper just add a small clip of you using it on a client to make take the video to the next level
@@DaMianTheBarber Thanks 4 Posting!
babyliss skeleton better with the graphite blade
Can the blades be swapped?
Yes you can put other Babyliss blades on it. They're very hard to find though!
DaMian The Barber Thanks I got the silver fx, but want the gold fine tooth blade on them
Have you managed to find one yet?
DaMian The Barber I found one on ebay
those gold FX are definitely a replica of USA
🤷🏾♂️
