- Are you confused by the difference between clipper blades and clipper guards. This video should clear that up.

I started cutting with the Oster 76s and as I've gained experience with cutting, find both clippers are a MUST have. You made good points with this, thank you.
I have never used detachable blade clippers and I am fresh out of barber school but I have been comparing cuts for both and I do think the foundation of your haircut with detachable blades makes the cut come out better!
Adrin, thanks for posting this video. You explained the difference between guards and blades very well. Liked that you also showed the size chart. Much appreciated.
I believe learning to use both is important, cutting with the detachable I find the fades come out a lot smoother, but it's very unforgiving if you make a mistake you have to know the right amount of pressure to use.
I haven't used detachable blades yet but I truly believe they are nessecary for at least debulking which creates the foundation for the cut! I am a beginner so I am still trying to grasp it all!
Very helpful. Thank you!! I had no idea the difference between the guard and the blade. Detachable and adjustable, etc. Great stuff.
So helpful! Thanks! I really didn't understand the difference or when to use which. I appreciate this.
Great video. My job requires me to use their BGRC at academy...I've always used the taper lever type clipper. It's hard to master when you have no time to really practice with BGRC. My Magic Clip cuts hair off with a little texture, even with lever fully closed. The BGRC with 1 or 2 cut everything off so evenly. It takes time to get to know how the detachable blending blades differ and sub for the taper lever.
Adrin you are a very impressive young man and have a very professional presentation. Thanks for your video.
Thanks! I was trying to decide what detachable blade sizes I needed. You were a huge help. Still love my Cordless Magic Clips but I bought a Supra ZRII when I got out of school and was too intimidated to use them. 2 years later... It's time lol
ty!! the chart was sooo helpful exactly what i was looking for! great video... thx again!
Thanks man...I hope you make it far in the barber world.
Adrin was real thorough and knowledgeable. Nice guy too. My only off comment would be to just lower the background music a little bit. But other than that, Adrin's video was very helpful.
Yo good vlog cuz .very informative especially with the chart.. haven't seen one as in-depth yet good job 💪
This is very helpful. Thank you! I am considering purchasing Oster clippers. I have a few different Wahl clippers. It looks like the one that you are demonstrating is the Seniors. What is the plug that is attached to the clippers?
Great video! I've always been curious about the difference between the two
Thanks man! Teacher been telling me to get detachables but never why, thought it’d be a BIG investment as a broke 20 year old lol and from what I gathered from this video that investment doesn’t need to be made yet. Got a pair of andis cordless masters for $100 (old body new blade) and that should carry me for a few years!
Awesome video. Great knowledge.

Thanks love 😘 for being direct female barbers starting out are scared to ask questions like this .
Thanks for the chart, Confused about #1 = 1.5 mm, etc
Could you make a video on how to clean your metal blades and keep up with maintenance? Thank you
Yea I could do that
The skiptooth blade is it suitable for wave cuts ? I have two clippers the Classic osters 76 and I have the cordless wahls. So where can I get the skiptooth blades and what size is suitable.
I use both. I use the Osters to put in guides then clean up with guards at the end to polish the fade.
What trimmers do you use for line up and detailing
Can I use carbon steel replacement blades for Andis bgrc such as the Andis phat master blade
This was a great bought of information for a newbie like me thank you!
The cordless Wahl seniors run on a rotary motor too. The bgrc just has a higher torque rotary motor than the cordless senior
Just subscribed, your videos are very helpful💯
Thank you
Thanks for the chart!
Can i use the same clippers with different guards?
Anyone know if all the clippers without the taper lever are clippers with exchangeable blades?
00000 BLADE = TRIMMERS
000 BLADE = ADJUSTABLES CLOSED
0A BLADE = ADJUSTABLES HALFWAY OPEN (IN BETWEEN A 0 AND A 1/2)
1 BLADE = ADJUSTABLES ALL THE WAY OPEN (IT'S A 1/2 SO IT'S YOUR 1/16 GUARD CLOSED)
1 1/4 BLADE = 1/16 HALFWAY OPEN (IN BETWEEN A 1/2 AND A 1)
1A BLADE = 1 GUARD CLOSED
1 1/2 BLADE = 1 GUARD HALFWAY OPEN (IN BETWEEN A 1 AND A 1 1/2)
1 3/4 BLADE = 1 1/2 GUARD CLOSED OR YOUR 1 GUARD OPEN
2 BLADE = 2 GUARD CLOSED
2 3/4 BLADE = 2 GUARD OPEN
3 1/2 BLADE = 3 GUARD CLOSED
3 3/4 BLADE = 4 GUARD CLOSED
Thanks 💯
What if you use a 000 blade with a 1 guard would the blade be too short to reach your hair?
My baber school we leaneed with ajustable clippers with gaurds they taught us how to cut all textures of hair e en how to shape a fro and desings
Thanks for this video. I'm an idiot Bro. I bought Detachable Blade Oster 10's 2 years ago and have been using the guards. I switched to a shorter hair cut and forgot I was using a 000 and just needed to move to a 1 - 1A blade vs wondering why a 1 was too high to grip a cut. Thanks for explaining this.
Hi! Where can I buy Power QUICK Connect PLUGG ?
Thank you so much brother !
Where you been bruh? Been MIA for a minute.
I LIKE THE CONTENT ❤ JOB WELL DONE.
Great video great content!
From my understanding the 00000 is like a trimmer. 000 Is like a wahl blade no guard fully open. 1A is like a 1 plastic guard closed. and a 2 is like a 2 plastic guard closed. Is that right?
Good video bro 💯
Thanks for this video!!! Suuuuper helpful! My husband ordered clippers and tasked me with cutting his hair while we are COVID quarantined 😭
My clippers have 5 different blade lengths and then the combs are additional? What do the different blade lengths do when attached to a comb?
Normally the guards or combs go on the #000 blade to get the lenth that is marked on the guard.
That’s for the help 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Anyone know where I can get one of the original 0 magnetic guards? Those new ones are trashhhh
Do the Oster detectable blades fit on the Andis bgrc???
Ka-Darrien Mallett yes
So actually for basic cuts I can leave my 0000 blade in and just get by with the guide Combs?
I use my guides with a 000 blade.
What guides fit detachable blades
@@AnthonyWitherspoon oster's universal guide combs , they have a spring loaded interface
Please name beat.
I got waves would u recommend a detachable 2 or 3
3 1/2
Is the 1A detachable blade a number 1 guard????
#1 guard closed
Thank u 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
I noticed that your corded clipper has a detachable cord.. What's that about? Put me on..
What's the best blade clipper?
Wahl Professional Magic Clip
My master barber was from the old school. 76ers and masters with no guards. Now, I'm getting back into adjustables & gaurds. Great video 👍
I see ya your good !
I just use math lol. If someone says they want a number one chances are they are referring to a guard. So I’ll use a 1 1/2 detachable cause its 4mm and for me I use masters and there blade is a 1 basically which is like 3.2 mm. If I put a one on like a basic blade (legends) it’ll become about 4mm. So I think its vital barbers learn the actual millimeters of each blade and the guards. Will make it easier to use any clipper without much thought
Facts. Lol spoke too soon. Im glad you put that chart up 🔥🔥
Math is cool. 1/8th 1÷8=.125. 3.2mm 3.2÷25.4 for the conversation gives you .125. I learned how to use math, too. I see people have made the mistake of using detachable blade number 1 instead of 1A for 1/8.
@@mexdrago3009 that’s big facts, it’s really simple if you take the time to actually understand those mathematical concepts to this craft
Great chart, but red is hard to see.
Dog Groomer here and Im so glad you answered this!
I thought they were called 'combs'.
You're trippin dude the 4 zero is good for taking out bulk and bringing the hair down to a stubble that can then be shaved.
Went through 30 videos and dumb Google searches to find what you said in the first 2 mins
To much switching if you use blades esp if fading not worth it
Wahl doesn't have a 0 guard. You mean a 1/2 guard??
Mine never came with a zero guard. The guards start at 1 and end at 8
@@zay-zay3 no I know I was referring to the chart. But it's all good. Thanks man
It seems short sighted for a barber school to not listen to experienced stylists who use different clipper blades and guards and explain clearly why!
Blades make a smoother cut especially for fading hands down
Essential guards hold hair down ..that's why blades cost more.
Aka more passes
@@Derek2k More passes needed to fade well especially if using Wahl clippers
Facts!!!
That’s why the blade system is .5mm shorter than the guard sizes so it can be a smooth transaction. You’re right. 💯💯
000, 00000, & outliner for that true bald look. Outliners are 0.1mm blades
I’m confused sir what outliners are you talking about
@@wlr29set18 i imagine he's talking about t-outliners like andis or whatever outliners you use to do a lining. Me personally after i do that i use an electric razor to get it baby smooth for a bald fade.
