I use the taper blade for low fades and tapers. I use the fade blade for med fades and high fades.
So glad I bought a 2 hole curved blade for my magic clip.
Made my fades so much easier, and quicker. The constant and natural scooping motion with the curved blade just gives me the confidence that the line will be easily removed when I open/close the lever and/or switch guards.
Thanks for this vid.
That’s exactly what I do with all my clippers lol. You can add the cutting blade from the Magic Clip Cordless for even a better fading process.
Can you link me the blade you bought?
@@PepRex5 years later it’s the wahl staggered blade set and just use the cutting blade part of it or get ceramic staggertooth blade
Excellent explanation! I actually loved the feel of the magic clips but couldn't get used to the blade...I knew something was different but I couldn't figure out what LOL
I was googling Wahl Fade blade difference and your youtube video came up. Thank you for the great production video and tips on both type of blade used on the clippers. These are the little tips that are good to know. Thank you
Thank you brother😁😁You've just answered my questions about how to erase the bottom line when I'm doin the faded haircut..Thank you so much😀😀
Why which clipper u used with which blade
wouldn't both blades be the same as soon as you add your 1st guard? so the difference is only when you're using it without a guard?
No because the way the hair travels in each blade is different
@@bmanistheman1811 oh interesting
Nuggets bro 🙏🏻 Im a barber myself but in order to be certified im going to barber school soon. Love the content and i honestly love my magic clips over babyliss. You just gained another subscriber. Muchas gracias amigo.
FLAT all the way for close cut !!!
That was a great video. Straight to the point, didn't even have to watch the whole thing (but it did) to understand the difference.
If as an absolute beginner who just wants to buy one Clipper is the Wahl Magic Clip the right choice for a mid skin fade?
Thanx I’m in school rn and was giving the fade blade thx for the tip
@1:47 a flash photo of a weird hand pops up, WTF was that for?
+David Clarke my hand looks weird lol
You can tell he’s got them lifting hands!
+Daniel Gutierrez lol yeah
Paul Adams whats racist about it?
David Clarke Hmmm....Subliminal suggestion? Happened right as he said “clients with super thick hair”. I’m not saying it’s racist, but it was a strange occurrence.
I was using a flat blade all along for years now to cut my hair and family's.
Wow u r awesome bro. Thank u so much for explaining the difference. I never knew that. Please keep making videos I'm just going to keep learning brother.😁😁😁😁😁
+Roshawn Rose thank you for taking the time to watch the videos
David Falla ur welcome brother 😁 I changed my c blade to a fade blade on my walh clippers n I tried it on my son. It started to fade real good no no lines left but then it started to pull the hair. Y do u think its pulling hair? I need to fix that.
David Falla I'm so happy I came across ur video. I liked and subscribed to your CZcams channel. I saved A lot of money only buying the blade for 17.00 n not buying brand new clippers for 130.00 😁😁😁😁😁
Thank you for sharing! Learning something new everyday:)
Okay so how come I am able to take out any line with the taper blade?
If you zero gap your taper blade you can get the lineas out as well. The flat blade makes it easier but both blades work for skin fades
taper blade , fade blade etc all those are excuses for people who cant fade . i prefer taper blade as well
When you use clips on the blades, is the difference still noticeable?
Yes
thank you for the explanation, most helpful 💯
We not bout to go past him putting up a black arm representing the thick black hair he mention
It’s not a black arm. It’s a zombie arm, and it is was on reference as to how my hand looked when I got closer to the lens.
My Sterling 4 did not come with that particular blade like shown. I realized it comes standard with the wireless designers.
+Arturo weird. Mine came just like that but I gotta mentioned that I’ve been having mine for years
Does the blade affect when using the guides too?
Which is better for even buzz cutting ?
Both will do a good job. If you want something faster then I would recommend you a metal detachables clipper
Great video good explanation on the blades...
Thanks man! I appreciate that
Very good video! I definitely fade cleaner with my fast feeds than with my magic clips due to that crunch blade. Easy to take out too much hair with the surgical blade
+Barber Chick yeah me too. It’s better to have both if possible but I always prefer my fast feed.
Barber Chick you can put the taper blade on magic clips as well
William M that is what I did. I ordered the Wahl super taper blade from Amazon and put it on one of my magic clips. Works beautifully. I still think the fast feeds along with the Andis ceramic fade cut my hair softer . Fast feed and Andis cutting blades are perfect for coarse Asian hair, the teeth are spread more apart compared to wahls.
That’s very true about the fast feeds but nothing beats the convenience of cordless clippers
@Nav R1 .does wider teeth cause you to have to do more passes? Does andis make a staggered cutting blade like the wahl magic?
I was kinda set on getting a fade angled blade with the staggered cutting teeth but the idea of a clipper that does better thicker hair makes sense.
Would wider teeth also produce a different finished look? I have looked for this info but just saw wider makes it pass easier for thick or wet hair
Creating lines with taper blade and blending out lines with fade?
So why exactly a lot of fade haircuts are done by the super taper..?
So I was looking at you’re video and maybe it’s hard to zero gap the wahl three screw. I tried zero gaping it but it felt like it was impossible so I spent the 20-30 bucks to make it easier to zero gap with the two hole
thanks
Hey, excellent video, which one would you reccomend for a full bald cut but with a little fade to the beard? Can the taper blade get close enough?
Well explained .
Wahl explained.
hola david, puedes hacer este mismo video en español . gracias!
Fade blades range from 00000 to 000, taper blades range from 000 to a 1. Then you have the Phat blades that come on the Phat masters and I think those go from a 1 to a 2 I think don't quote me on that.
David, hola, saludos desde Medellín Colombia, de ante mano Muy buen video, pero como sabrás el idioma es un limitante Hehe, te agradecería muchísimo, si pudieras hacer este video, tal vez en tu canal en español (el cual también sigo, MUCHAS GRACIAS Bro saludos
+COLOMBIA #1 hola y ese vídeo ya casi se viene en el canal de español
Thanks so much for this video bro!
if i open the fade blade for half inch guideline then the taper blade another half above it, is will be a a different like you use a guard or it will be like you use one blade and open it 1 inch?, what the fade blade cuttin length and the taper blade cutting length?
Hello and it all depends if the blades are set form factory or not, also some blades open more than others. The fade blade cuts closer than the curve blade due to its surgical design. Both blades without a guard are in the Zeros so hard to tell you the exact measurement since we are talking about mm.
I have a question ? Can u add a regular taper blade from an icon clipper to a Wahl Legend clipper to replace the wedge place blade it comes with which seems to be like a fade blade?
Honestly I wouldn’t know. I never had the Wahl legend
Yes
Thanks for the great video! Very helpful. I was considering either the Magic Clip or the Sterling. What are your thoughts on the cutting blades? Do you feel like you get better results with the crunch blade on the Magic Clip? If i were to put a taper blade on the Magic Clip, I wonder how it would compare to the Sterling since they would be pretty much the same other than the cutting blade.
What exactly is the fade blade on whals they all have different names please help
Fade blade aka standard blade, STD blade, wedge blade, flat blade, surgical blade. It's just a more narrower decline toward the blade. Makes it easier for some to knock out that foiled out bald line because of the narrower tip.
Harman Pahal thanks
Great video
Thanks always love your videos.
Well explained. Thanks.
Tolong tanya... apa bedanya clipper dengan trimmer... tuan terima kasih.
I got a taper unused that I'm really wanting to try on my 5 star seniors that have a precision blade. What do you guys anyone think of that change? Go for it or stick to switching between my multiple clippers each with their own type of blade? Really want to try it on the Seniors but I don't see ANYBODY doing what I wanna try. Any help would be great Thx.
Thanks for the video! BTW hairy zombies have feelings too! LOL
Thank you this was very helpful!
Nice explanation.
Awesome video.
+raul justiniano thank you!!!!
I like both blades, but I can get much more done with a fade blade, than I can with a taper blade.
Both blades are great. I feel the opposite as you, I feel I can do more with the taper blade 😃
I want to say that the fade blade is something like a 0000, whereas the taper blade is a 000.
If I’m starting up cutting hair and can only have one blade for fading would u recommend flat or curved blade?
I would say the curved one since it’s more forgiven
David Falla is the magic clip stagger tooth blade better than ceramic blades without the stagger tooth when fadeing?
What is that black tape you have attached to your magic clips?
It’s just a carbon fiber decal I put on it
David Falla is it just for style? Does it help with grip or anything?
Which is better for a kemei 1986?
Is the wahl five star senior a taper blade? Also what blade does the magic clip have?
The cordless Senior comes with a flat balde as well as the magic clip. The cutting blade of the magic clip is staggered so it’s better for fading
Ty for responding appreciate it. Subscribed.
@@DavidFalla do you know the model number of that curved blade u have. I can't find a curved one without the grooves like ur flat one. Thanks
Thanks alot brother! appreciate this video!
Hey those Wahl 5 stars do they last ? How’s reliable are they? I keep hearing they don’t last more then a year.. if so, that is a Waste of money in my opinion
Mine are still going strong since I got them about 2 years ago or more
Very helpful man!!! Thank you
Those blades wahl are for all wahl clippers right?
How do you flick out with the fade blade? Do I just go straight up and leave the head?
You don't flick out with the fade blade. You use it in a "scrubbing motion" on an angle against the guideline rather than flicking up and out as you would with a taper blade.
What is that blade called on those red Nd black clippers???? is that the same blade that originally comes on the magic clips
It’s a taper blade
I might be the only person who uses a clipper downwards when cutting my hair. I like longer haircuts and doing scissors the whole way around is tough , but going upwards
Has never felt right for me. It feels too close to the skin and to easy to mess up compared to going down. Iv never seen anyone cut like that though . Been doing it for years lol
Great video!!!
David, ¿Se puede poner la fade blade en la wahl super taper? Los de wahl ponen en la página web que sólo sirve para la magic clipper. Saludos y buen inglés.
Hola y no sabría decirte ya q nunca he usado la Súper Taper
Taper blade is best for fading..my 3 years experience in canada
Hey buy some Speedo guard's n don't change the blade for zero gap this is a perfect clipper it's all in the wrist
You are right but if you want a long lasting career then only using the wrist can be a problem. Also, for beginner is easier to change the blade till they develop the muscle memory to use only the wrist
Thank for sharing..you are the best 🙏🙏🙏
Can you use andis dual magnetic gaurds with a fade blade on The magic clip?
They don’t fit flushed.
Can you get both blades on the same clipper?
Liked. Well explained
thank u so much for the video i have a whal super taper that has a yellow line does it has a fade blade or taper blade pls help
What about the Wahl supertaper blade?
David wat blade should i put on my magic clip cordless ?
You should keep the blade that comes with ti. It’s the easier ballads to fade with it
Thanks bro
Can I use guards on a fade blade
The Wahl rapid fire model , is Fade Blade vs Taper Blade?
The rapid fire uses Derachable Metal Blades
Un favor puedes también subirlo en tu canal en español
Esta en el canal en español
Awesome video. Is it the same with the andis master fade blade????
+wilfredo Reyes yeah it’s the same and thank you
Hallo I use Wahl Super Taper for one year and now I want to get cordless magic clip with fade blade.What you think for this I want to use more advanced or will be a mistake?
Well it all depends you can get a magic clip cordless and just switch the blade or you can get the Wahl Designer that I think comes with the taper blade
David Falla but with fade blade will be more good or no ?
No necessary. It’s all personal preference
Hey man, I've been cutting for just around 18 months now so I'm still fairly new to everything. However, my 4 month old cordless Magic Clips now spark at the switch and short. Considering how much they cost, this shouldn't be happening after such a short period of time. I regularly clean my blades and internals so it's not like they aren't well looked after. I'm not the first person I've known who's encountered issues with the cordless Magic clip either. Personally, I prefer cordless Super tapers, they run the same motor as the cordless Magic clip (Wahl will even tell you this themselves) and I tend to play around with a crunch blade on them rather than the taper blade. Best off just finding what works for you. Good luck anyway, hope this helps your decision in some way.
Sorry to hear that Joel. I’ve been having my magic clip cordless for years and I have never experience any problems with it. After so long it’s starting to not hold a full charge but that’s normal with any battery operated tool. You should contact wahl so you can get a replacement
So can u put either on a wahl magic clip?
Are both zero gapped?
Thanks
Saludo quiero ver ese video en español y no lo encuentro
What's the the number of the fade blade?
what type of blade is the wahl designers?
Mr Falla or others, what are your thoughts on pairing the top curved blade with the bottom staggered tooth from magic? Thank you!
Works great I have it that way. I also have staggertooth ceramic blades on all kinds of different clippers
Can i buy a 3 hole fade blade????
Not sure but I don’t think so
Did you change the blade on your magic clips to the taper blade? And did you zero gap it?
+Daniel Gutierrez both machines have the blades they came with but both did get zero gapped
Is Wahl super taper and wahl magic clip good
Super taper is a great clipper, you can’t get them in the USA
Witch one to by good for....
@1:48 what was that burnt arm representing when you were taking about “thick” hair? 🧐
I was trying to make a joke about how my hand looked deform because of the wide lens. It’s a zombie hand
I was lookin for a slanted blade
OK guys, I need suggestions on buying the best clippers for doing taper haircuts only any suggestions on getting a clipper for taper haircuts taper styles mostly going to be trimming straight hair will be using it for year after year at home and cutting hair every two weeks any suggestions would be helpful. Thank you.
dm me
I’m barely starting and I was wondering if the taper blade would be good enough/sharp enough to blend in the zero to bald?
They're the same, as long as the machine is 0 gapped.
No
Not unless u know how to ZERO gap the blades, and even then they are not the same and the flat blade is easier to take the shortest lines on a skin fade
What I need to use for fading? Wahl 2000 taper or Wahl Balding?
Which one do you suggest?
2000
Hola David muy Bueno tu canal te sigo desde Argentina, Estoy introduciendome en el mundo de la barberia me gustaria saber que maquina me recomendas comprar la magic clip o la super taper? Desde ya muchas gracias espero tu respuesta parcero!!

Just got into cutting hair my step is 12 and everytime I take him to get a hair cut I had to learn to fix it so I just invented in my own and started cutting his hair I have the Andis Beauty Master any advice for that set of clippers? And can I get a the fade blade for the beauty Master? Your video helped me fix his hair cut and I knew nothing about cutting hair the break down you do is 2nd to none man
"Very.. uh *black* hair.."
Basically 😂
Zapoga that was a stupid meme he through up there. You can tell he thinks he’s a superior cat cause of his skin tone. Fuck him
Phillygoon79 agreed man. I was with him until he threw up that nonsense. No explaining this one away
1:46 really bro🤷🏽♂️
Very unprofessional
How good are the sterling’s?
I think they are great. I’ve been having mines for years now They are still running great
Perfect
May I know the brand of the clipper in this video?
It's wahl magic clip cordless
Terimakasih 👍👍
What type of blade do u recommend for beginners I have the magic clip cordless and I’m thinking about buying the Andis envy li cordless just don’t know what would be better ?
I recommend a curved bevel blade for beginners. The Andis Envy li is great and remember that there isn’t a better machine. It all depends of what you like
Thank u bro for the quick reply I’m going to subscribe
I just ordered them today
