No matter what happens in the bartering industry I will never get rid of my senior! Current setup, ceramic blade with a fusion blade! 🔥
Sounds nice 💪🏻
ceramic stagger or regular?
Where can i find a fusion blade and a ceramic blade? Or the taper blade?
I have the same on my Wahl senior and my god does it slide but I got the Babyliss fade blade on it works better for fades
What about the magic clip
THE BEST CLIPPERS FOR FADING! BEEN USING THEM FOR 20 YEARS. THEY'VE NEVER LET ME DOWN! Love the seniors!
👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
Its only been out few years. 20years what were u using😂
@@AA-hk3cm 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@AA-hk3cmcorded Wahl Seniors duh🤦🏾
@@AA-hk3cmget with the program
Ive been using the Wahl Senior since graduation from Cosmo school. It takes out bulk and I use it for clipper over comb techniques. It does it’s job. I’ve recently bought the Gamma Booster and fusion blade for fading. So far I’m loving your review videos. Thank you for sharing.
Nice! I can definitely dig that setup 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
My 1st clippers, never failed me. I keep them as a second clippers with gamma boosted. It may be unpopular opinion but I really like the weight!
That’s a nice setup. And yeah just gotta get used to the weight
Do you see a big diffence between the senior and the gamma boosted?
@@dude7124 ye ofc, senior is like prehistoric tool compared to gamma boosted tbh, all tools by wahl are way behind competition except new hi viz trimmer ;]
Definitely still good. I keep them in rotation. Gives a smooth transition fade.
💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
Been using my seniors since they came out and I always buy the latest clipper but the seniors always got me coming back! I love the innovation the companies are doing but the seniors too me are just the most reliable
🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
Ever tried lopros
@@alamdar-aliabidi1389 yea it’s legit once you put the wahl fade blade on it. The blade it comes with I like for anything that’s not a skin fade. It’s good on beard sculpting tho
@@rafsoto24 Ye I use it for bulk and sculpting, u know ur stuff🔥
I put a fusion blade on every adjustable clipper that I have. It Improves the performance on every clipper.
I agree I only have it on my Cordless Senior I absolutely love it still takes out the bald guideline no matter how hard I put it in and still gives a blurry fade
I do the same exact thing. I have one of my 5 clippers with a fade blade just to have one different. I love the fusion blade it’s 🔥🔥
What is fusion blade? I wanna buy one for my seniors
The standard blade on the boosted isn't the best, so I've ordered the fusion blade as you guys have recommended
@@EFBeats- a blade by gamma and style craft. Basically a fade and taper blade mixed into one. It’s called the faper blade now
Wahl, in general, will always be relevant. I’ve hopped off the rebranded Chinese product bandwagon, and, as of late, have been using the corded Oster Fast Feed and the cordless Wahl Legends. The Legends are amazing. Mad that I slept on them for so long.
I love the fast feeds
Yeah there’s enough old heads to keep Wahl and andis going for a while
Fast feeds all day
I got all most every clipper known to man and I pick up my Senior with the Tomb 45 battery and the Fusion/Faper Blade on 8 out of 10 Times.
Nice setup for sure
Do you use the original blade or a ceramic one
One thing i learned about clippers is that you have to sit with them for some time and really see how they work. Every clipper gives a different type of blend has its pros and cons.
💯💯💯
Wahl senior cordless + babyliss graphite taper blade + ceramic blade + tmb45 battery = greatness.
Similar to one of my old set ups 👌🏻
Goat cordless clipper. Strong and reliable. Easy to service
👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
my corded wahl seniors will do the same thing its all about the person working the clipper. if i was actively in a shop cutting i'd own every clipper ever made too its fun using multiple tools.
Absolutely
@@Seancutshair when i was in barber school my instructor told me that if i didnt make it as a barber i would as a clipper salesman cause i had so many clippers. years later i like to make that part true. i want to buy clippers in bulk at one price and sell them for another price.
Man, I just put the Gamma+ fixed Taper & Gold cutting blades on the Saber Clippers and wow! That blade setup is the absolute truth and my fav right now. It will not remove the initial guideline but for everything else, it's amazing and it's super quiet. I use the boosted with a stretch bracket and fade blade to remove the initial guideline & for detailing. They're a pretty mean combo.
💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
@@Seancutshairwhat’s the part number for the taper blade for the wahl seniors ? I’m trying to find it on Amazon
Still my go to for fading anything below a 1. For bulk removal not so much.
In order to eliminate the guess work on the lever I just grab a flathead Philips and mark where the lever reaches all the way open and closed. Add a tomb 45 battery & grip band 👌
💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
This clipper seems to be a staple in the black barber shops I went to before I started cutting my own hair. I'd imagine it's better for course black hair. That motor is loud but powerful. I use a magic clip and couldn't be happier with its performance.
Motor loud? Old ones maybe
👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
@@saidzueke4782 loud compared to the smaller motors with less rpm. I'm guessing the senior has 1000-1500 more rpm than magic clip
They are a staple regardless of the race lol tf
@@kevinm4209 I've since seen a good amount of white barbers on yt using seniors, but not to the extent I've seen em in black shops
Love the Seniors... that blend just always looks smooth. Good content as always...
Appreciate it 🙏🏼
I recently brought out my seniors again and put the fade blade on it for shits and giggles. Used it for a whole day (about 8 haircuts) and I agree with you bro. Taper blade on the senior is the way to go lol 🤷🏽♂️ I’m in the market for a new clipper and after watching some of your videos, I’m aiming towards those Gamma+ Boosted 👀
Yes and yes 👊🏼👊🏼👊🏼
It depends , the taper blade is not better than the fade blade , they both have their uses , and you have to get used to the fade blade on a Wahl senior , you will like it better when you get used to it and know how to use it
@@briom1425 It’ll always depend on the barber’s preference. In this case, since we’re talking about Wahl, knowing which clipper you’re using is a good start to decide what kind of blade you want on it. For my preference, after many years, the Senior is my workhorse. You’ll always find at least two Seniors on my station. One, I’ll slap on Taper blade and de-bulk while fading at a faster, yet, smoother pace. And the other will have a fade blade to detail the fade if I have to. Again, my preference. 🙏🏽
its so crazy you posted this cause I was literally thinking of getting rid of my seniors today
😯😯😯
The OG Senior is a dawg!! I have the babyliss taper blade on mine and it’s a monster! I tried it with the fusion blade and it wasn’t for me. Great video, Sean 🔥💯
Nice!!
opinions will vary, but after decades of trusting my reliable wahl clipers, & after a few years of being extremely disappointed with the "shiny new hotness" ...my decision is an easy one... ill take my trusty wahl seniors over the "bling & flash trash" that we all know is just gonna fall apart & get loud & rattle ...& in all fairness i will admit to making a few changes to my go-to favorites, my metal anniversary 1919 wahl seniors, they have been modified with the magics staggertooth cutting blade & a taper fixed blade & a tomb45 battery... that combination, for me personally, is hard to beat! ...& eventhough i tease a perticular company for being more concerned about rebranding generic garbage in shiny colors & tryin to pass them off as "professional" more so than making an actual "quality" product, i do wholeheartedly agree that whoever designed the standard issue seniors musta been "color-blind" (haha) ...always enjoy watchin ur haircuts & ur reviews, thank u sir
Yeah gotta love the brown lever and switch 🤦🏻♂️
Let me say something abut these damn clippers...THESE MIGHT BE THE MOST UNDERRATED GOAT CLIPPERS!!! YEA I SAID IT. I cut my own hair this weekend, using the Rebel and JRLs (with a gamma blade). Didnt like the look of my fade. The guidelines were still there, tried way too hard to get them out. I said screw it, and i went to my seniors, which i didnt think were that good or at least a little overrated. Boy, when i tell you i was able to get those lines out and get the blur for a bald fade....sheesh. Its like me and my seniors had a moment saying "thats how you use them!!!" I love the seniors. Its a cheat code. Will continue using the Rebels and JRLs (underrated fade clipper). But the seniors are dumb good. salute
They’re definitely one of the goats but I sure like my boosted these days
@@Seancutshair sorry one last question. Do you use different guards on your booster? The guards that came with my rebel are cool but not the biggest fan. Do you have different guards to recommend?
I had to watch this.I haven’t used my senior in so long…crazy the weight difference in clippers now days.always appreciate the video bro…
Yessir 🙌🏻
I see that magic clip still around on the station😀
Yes it is
Senior and Magic Clip still have my vote. A cheap plastic Chinese made color lid is a gimmick I can go without. I would like to see wahl add steps to the lever for more precision but not a game change feature,
They are still good clippers for sure
Put the fusion blade on the gold magic bro Big Crunch difference
I put it on the Babyliss Boost
Siñors still good I put the gold low pro top blade and they cut great like wedge blade style
Got pairs of these. My favorite pair of clipper. I just wish they would improve battery life, the way it get hot too quick, and a new improved blade
💯💯💯
My one don’t gets hot, don’t matter how long I use it.
Try it with cool care from andis after every cut
Mine don’t get hot either
They don't get hot with a ceramic cutting blade
My barber still has these as his go to made me buy a pair been cutting my hair for about a year I’m no barber but def have gotten betta
Good deal!
Just bought a corded original Senior not the five star recently. More power.
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
First day of school binged ur vids in the backrund
Nice!
I just put on a black replacement switch and lever on my seniors! They look great with the black now. Cause I agree, the tan colored switch and lever doesn’t make sense on these.
I’ve done that before may have to on these!
The fact you had to get another one rushed over to you says it all 😂 would have been funny if the video just ended when you said that 😂
I just started and just got a Senior cordless clipper and JRL 2020 trimmer to start with good weapons 🔥
That’s a solid setup 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
Always gotta keep a fusion blade on deck just incase. The seniors will forever be my #2 clipper. I wish Wahl would step up there game and actually put upgrades in the senior and magic clip. Me personally I love the weight of it and there not as loud as my rebels.
💯💯💯
They kind of did with the gold version of the magic clip. They upgraded the motor and battery if i remember correctly. Havent tried it yet though
@@Mike-hy8cs I think it only added 10 minutes of battery and the put the senior motor in it.
Rebels are your #1?
@@wethebest9566 they were but they just broke so I’m using the seniors right now
I have a fusion on my senior, and that’s my daily still all day every day at the shop.
Nice 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
I love mine,put the eco battery on with the fution blade and they’re my go to clipper.
💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
Wahl clippers are pieces of history and the Senior Cordless is sturdy, reliable, timeless and easily repairable, you just have to remove 3 screws for that and you can find spare parts everywhere. Wahl don't make fancy goods, they refuse to change and that's what I like, the Senior is just like a rolls royce for me. And 80 minutes is more than enough ! I much prefer 80 ou 120 mintutes with a standard battery than several hours with a special battery you will not find as a spare part in a few years.
It definitely is a staple in the barber world
Only problem is battery life, u keep 2 on ur station one charging and it’s the best duo u can have . I’ve tried just about every clipper. None have the power or fading ability.
👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
Or buy better battery. Cheaper
Use the premiun babyliss guards and is a beast. Beter than all clippers now🤑
👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
Wahl 5 star senior is the best clipper ever. I don’t care what anyone say!
👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
Lol
The motor is the Wahl Senior is Stronger.
i still use a magic clip and a senior, have tried jrl, andis master, SC i dunno everything... but still go back to the good old ones, but i have upgraded the batery for a 3400mAh
Nice upgrade! Did that help battery life significantly?
Ye Sean it works like a beast, I feel the most diference in the magic clip seems it gets more strong, and the life battery goes up alot, can do 4 cuts without any strugle
Yes throw the fusion on it’ll change the game trust
I believe it
You gotta change the cam follower too? Of jus the blades
I love my seniors. Good review Sean. 👍
Thanks 👍
In my opinion that stylecraft fusion blade is a fade blade. I totally agree with you on fade blades, I don’t use them at all and I immediately swoop them out for a taper blade.
It’s more or less a fade blade I agree. Something about it is slightly difficult though it’s almost all I use now
Bro you should make this a series and make the same video about all the other og clippers! like the fast feeds, magic clips, andis masters and so on!
Might try some of the others
My Wahl senior 2020 edition still fire💯💥
🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
I just got a metal Senior and I love it. Should you zero gap the standard blade that it comes with?
Metal Senior is a beast. I put a ceramic cutting blade with the gold Wahl fade blade….
That’s up to you. I don’t zero mine just set them to have a good balance between open and closed
please do a review on wall designers, wired or wireless. i personally have the wires but i would love to see a review and a nice cut from it. ik it a old clipper but since i’ve had em there no bad but would like to see a professionals pro and cons or opinion on it. thanks and appreciate it man 🙏🏽
If I need some content I may pick one up
Only been barbering since November, got the senior for myself as my first none barber school clippers (got the super tapper from the college) and I'm loving the seniors, the bulk work it does is just clean !
Nice 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
praying that i have like this clipper soon i love my job as a barber
🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
I use wahl seniors all day and they don’t die
👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
No CZcams Barber ever talks about how HOT the Seniors run. With them being all metal the heat from the blade transfers through the entire clipper. Had to get rid of them for that reason. Very Uncomfortable for me and my clients. Good clipper. Fades great but runs way too hot. If you only have 1, it cannot be used as an all day clipper.
I don’t notice the heat being a problem but I imagine if you cut enough back to back it could be
I notice it can get hot as well but I've never had anyone be uncomfortable from them. I use them all day. I do find that sometimes when I haven't opened them up and cleaned them out throughly of hair they will run hotter. What do you use now?
What clippers should i get for thick/course hair 😅
Is it still good? Yes. Are there better options out there? Hell yeah.
💯💯💯
Like what esp for fades?
You can upgrade moror to brushless high torque 7200rpm with a 3500mah batt. You get 2.5 to 3 hrs then shes a senior boosted brothers
Gets the job done.Always has
💯💯💯
I have a fusion blade on one of my seniors. It's a smoooth mix with the motor speed of that clipper and that blade. 👍🏼 Absolute must-try brother you'll definitely dig it 💲
Do you use the wahl cutting blade with the fusion blade?
@@sense321 I use the fusion stationary. 👍🏼 You can change cutting blades if you want I have one with the stagger tooth and one with the regular cutter. Stagger just gives a softer blend especially in a lower speed motor. Give it a shot 👍🏼
@@joeyDi8764 will do thanks for the reply
Right on may have to do it!
@@Seancutshair definitely another Weapon in the arsenal. 👍🏼
Nice video
The seniors are a great clipper for sure.Being old school using corded Pro tapers for 40 years ,borrowed a friend's magic clip.
Nice loved it ,no lead wow,so bought the seniors and could be more please ,choices were Andis, Gamo,kiepe ,but stuck with Wahl.
Heavy use the blades get hot.The ceramic blade I presume helps to keep cool.
Big market now of what to buy,to much choice.
Think I will buy the more powerful battery.
Great channel thanks.r
Yeah they’re definitely still a solid choice!
Its not tan brother i think they were trying to go for a gold look..but ur right every good barber has a senior 👍👍but nice video..
Well it’s not gold 😂
Great video bro it always is fun to go back to old clippers and see how better u are using it compared to the new generation of clippers 🔥 love it bro
One of the first times I’ve done that definitely may have to try a couple others 👌🏻
I put my babyliss moving and still blade on a new pair of magics and I love it. I haven’t used Whal for like a year because I’m the type to try new things and I recently was using my JRL’s 2020 as my main hitter. Safe to say my magics are my hitters now even though the motor isn’t as strong as the many other clippers I’ve used
Nice 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
You could swap the motor to a boosted motor and slap a tomb 45 battery upgrade
senior cord is the goat along with magic clips not zero gapped use trimmers
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Great video bro im becoming a barber in mexico i was living in houston and now currently living in mexico and the clipper im copping is the senior cordless
Nice 👍🏻
Only gripe I have with my senior is it sound good new 1 month in it sounds like it’s got a D CAT exhaust on it
😂😂😂
What’s a great clipper to invest in? Just overall good for taper, fades etc?
Something that keeps me a little skeptical about trying a rebel for example is that I want to see how they hold up over time cause the plastic on the ergos and JRL 2020 is very low quality, but a clipper that I am definitely trying in the next couple of months is the SC Mythic
Rebel is amazing
Yeah the rebel will def get loud over time. They hold up ok though. Mythics are solid clippers 👌🏻
I have jrl 2020 for a long time with wahl blades and they are super quit
Actually Sean, the rattle was probably the MB Guards, I have the same problem. The plate that has the “MB” logo is loose so it rattles
Yeah that may be it
Ive got stylecraft rogue combo with magic clips but always wanted a senior to customise
It is a cool haircut he did on him
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
I don't go for fade blades much either...except for the Wahl fade blades. It almost doesn't seem like a fade blade.
I don’t like that one either 😂
@@Seancutshair I get it. It's all about preference really. I personally don't like the faper blade but most CZcams barbers love it. The problem is when I see/hear a CZcams barber basically say taper blades are for newer/rookie barbers that gets to me a little bit. I mean I use both but for different tasks and it makes my cuts come out better and faster.
@@Seancutshair I know you understand because you're like the only one on YT still using the slimlines...but I know some in real life that swear by them.
The senior is goated. No debate about it
It is but there are definitely better options nowadays
My style craft instinct clipper just shat out on me after not even 6 months of use. I put the blade from the style craft on my seniors that I’ve been using almost 5 years. Had them since school. Yeah I’ll stick with my senior/master duo and just use style crafts blades.
The first instincts vibrated so much something comes loose on the motherboard. They’ve fixed the problem now but probably what happened to yours
@@Seancutshairyeah I was in my local barber supply and they informed me. I’m not so mad at them any more, I have a manufacturing background as I was a machinist before. Some things are forgivable. It’s like they put a big block on a small car now it’s breaking motor mounts. Not mad at them for giving us that 😅
Just picked up my first magic clip and decided to go with the new gold version. And my slime2 just showed up. Can't wait to try them out.
Nice! Both of those are solid
Non sono un barber, ma a volte provo a farmi i capelli da solo in casa. Da quando seguo video di barber professionisti, la clipper wahl senior è la clipper che secondo me sfuma meglio i capelli. È veramente eccellente. Voi che siete esperti,da cosa dipende che altre clipper non sfumano così bene come la senior?
It’s just old reliable. A lot of newer clippers seem good at first but don’t last like the senior
I would love to see a senior or magic clip with a faper blade reviewed. Also a Jrl 2020c with a faper blade reviewed. Those will be really informative videos.
Cut with the fade blade and immediately took it off cause it was awful 😂 there’s your review
@@Seancutshair He talk about faper blade and not about fade blade
Love the video !!! Also Where did you get your small clip on mic from? An what is it called ?
It’s a DJI dual mic kit
That Stylecraft is the best so far,senior starts up good and powerful,and after few months felt sluggish? What you all think?
Haven’t had that problem with my seniors. I have a few pairs. Try putting a tomb 45 battery in there
@@jasonmercurio1928 I’ll consider that battery swap,do the seniors feel stronger?
@@yandel11210 slightly, it gives them a little bit more life
The seniors definitely keep power longer than the magic clips. Guess we’ll see
@@Seancutshair yeah that’s true,magic clip dies out faster,senior has been better for me,senior with Stylecraft blade,works pretty damm good.
I modified my senior with legend bracket blade slide. And taper blade. Not zero gap and tomb45 eco. battery. rpm better then stock and has two hours of run time. With the legend bracket blade slide. And a taper blade not zero gap you can do a blurry fade and faster fading
Nice 👍🏻
On top of the Fusion blade, you should pop on the Wedge blade from the Legends and review that combo!
Interesting never thought about it
i want to see it with the fusion blade..on magic clip maroon too
👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
Gotta have one taper and one fade blade. You hat combo is godly !
Good system to have both for sure
How do u use the combo tho? Like when do u use the taper
@@putDIZONyourface taper for detail and guard work. And fade for that bottom line.
@@robrealcuts exactly 👆🏼
@@robrealcuts you a real one for replying. thank you. just put on the taper blade today on my wahl senior.
Im on the market for new professional clippers after using Walmart home clippers for years planning to get corded seniors
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Those things are so heavy I just can’t get through a whole day with them anymore after 24 years! Rebels are tough to beat for me..
👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
heavy? bro you need to hit the gym then 🤣
Every one is missing out on a 5mm cutting comb for Wahl....
It would be badass if wahl would put the notches on the senior
Yeah I don’t guess they’ve put it on anything have they?
@@Seancutshair no only thing they’ve done is make it cordless but it’s been cordless for years now they to step up a bit be modern in a way
I slapped the style craft faper blade on the red influencer lo pros and jesus!! They are neck and neck with my gamma+ boosted
Yeah exactly what I’m running at the moment
Wahl FTW
👊🏼👊🏼👊🏼
the tan lever is supposed to be gold, like wahl 5 star shaver had gold stars not silver
It sure ain’t gold
Sean I love u ❤
😳😳😳
Have you used the Staggered blade that comes on the old Magic Clipper? Or What about the Crunch Blade? The staggered is supposed to be easier to blend/remove hard lines but not sure if it's easier than the taper blade...fusion sounds like it might be similar to the staggered?
Never noticed any significance to any of those different blades
I have this and a gamma boosted. Use this for the kids and normal cuts and the boosted for fades. (The senior battery is a bit i consistent tho😅 first 20min is good after that not really)
Yeah I agree with that after a while the power just isn’t the same
I'll stick to my original corded (1st Gen) Five Star Seniors.
Oh man can’t do the cord
4:52 beat goes hard
💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
Im not a "barber" but I do alot of mens cuts. I am also being asked to fade out more of my cuts. What is the difference between a taper blade and a fade blade?
Fade blade is thinner and cuts shorter. Used more for bald fades and skin lines. Taper blade has a bevel on it that makes it thicker. More room for error and cuts a little longer, usually won’t take the bald line out
@@Seancutshair thank you 😊
Love the senior, find they get the fades blurrier easier! I use the JRL and magic too, but really don’t enjoy the JRL at ALL! Any good recommendations for new clipper? Currently based in Ireland👍
Put wahl blade on jrl and you have an awesome light clipper
Gamma Boosted
@@saidzueke4782 thank you so much!
@@archiexEM thank you! Deffo a must
Put a fusion blade on that JRL. Game changer
What do you not like about the fade blade?
Cuts too harsh and grabs and pulls sometimes
If they had better battery life I would have one its wahls best clipper with the worst battery life of all of them... that's funny asf
Tomb45 Eco Battery will do it for the Wahl Seniors and Magic Clips
That Tomb 45 Battery is definitely the move on these.
@@josephaquino33 yeah I got one in my cordless legend, but it should come with that running time out the box you know !!
I bought babyliss and other clippers. Runningtime is never correct
@@desmondmitchell5602 I totally agree!
the metal version is made in hungary, is the regular wahl senior still made in USA? great reviews , subscribed
I think they’re assembled in the USA but not made here
just bought a wahl senior metal model clippers and its made in the USA. is it still good
? its brilliant .. @@Seancutshair
Question how often do you change the blades on your clippers,trimmers and shavers?
Not often. Most the time the battery and motor starts feeling sluggish before the blades are bad
@@Seancutshair thank you!! Wasn’t sure about if it was the blades or the clipper
What do you think of which is better ( wahl magic clip)or (Wahl senior)
Senior is better but heavier
BTW, what guards are you using? Is that a Wahl senior with Andis blade conversion?
They’re MartyBlendz premium translucent guards. It’s a standard Senior with a Wahl taper blade
