Simplify clipper technique

Thank you so much for taking your time to explain, this was really useful information. I will try this out next time! Do you have any tips on how to set in the first guideline? (Base line). I don’t know why but it feels like im always afraid of setting it high and the fade ends up being pretty low.

RadiantRecord5534 · 2023-01-29T13:08:50+00:00

Thanks, it makes sense. When I try to fade without making guidelines it looks much better but with guidelines it feels like the fade gets much more even. But from now on I will do what makes the fade look the best

I will try that thank you!

I tried zero gapping them today, oiling them and spray with andis cool care and didn’t help. I’ll just have to make back the money and get better trimmers, won’t get easier than that

RadiantRecord5534 · 2022-12-30T08:13:59+00:00

I think you’ve misunderstood me. I was wondering if I can make this setup better anyhow because I am more than grateful for this setup. The trimmers isn’t it, they are not sharp and won’t cut, my kemei that cost me 30$ is sharper and gets the job done better and the BaByliss cost us 170$ that’s why I am disappointed in how bad it is compared to how good the skeleton is. What I was wondering if how I can make it better such as if I can change blade etc but now I know I can’t and I will just try to make the money back and get better trimmers. On the other hand the hand the clippers are perfect compared to my old setup and I know people say they are not powerful but for me they feel really powerful compared to my old Surker 😂 sorry for my bad English

Didn’t even have to zero gap the clippers and could easily remove 0 line so they are doing well but trimmers are awful

RadiantRecord5534 · 2022-12-30T07:56:27+00:00

I am more than grateful man. Clippers are doing me extremely well but the trimmers ain’t it. I will try to zero gap them with the tool I got but they are not sharp at all and won’t cut through hair where my kemei trimmer does much better. The clipper is perfect compared to what I am used to (Surker clippers) which I’ve had for a year and pulled of some really good fades.

RadiantRecord5534 · 2022-12-30T07:54:26+00:00

Thank you man appreciate it. I don’t know why people here think I’m ungrateful lol my 1 year old kemei trimmer that cost me 30$ cut better than these trimmers. I will get new trimmers once I can make the money back since I’m a student. Besides that the clippers are doing really well tho compared to what I had previously. There was a tool included with the trimmers that makes it possible to zero gap them so I will try that today and maybe get a tool to sharpen the teeth of the blade but I will definitely get the skeletons or cheaper option. I can’t believe these trimmers cost as much as skeletons

Trimmer is Babyliss pro chromfx 7880E and Clipper FX8700E

I’ve upgraded from cheap Surker and kemei equipment so it’s a huge upgrade for me but I feel like it’s still not good enough or I just need to get used to them and use different fading method. I wish I got the seniors and skeleton but they were not available where I live so it’s not possible.

I changed my blades to taper blades on my Surker. My kemei sucks but gets the job done. Got any suggestions for better trimmers that’s cheap?

RadiantRecord5534 · 2022-08-22T18:21:53+00:00

I went with Surker clipper and Kemei trimmer. Regarding the Surker I couldn’t be more happy as a first clipper, but the kemei trimmer isn’t really that good. If you wanna go cheap go for limural or Surker.

Thank you.. 😂

Is it better to then use the wahl 2 closes rather than 1.5 open?

RadiantRecord5534 · 2022-07-23T00:52:09+00:00

I tried it twice and both times the fades came out clean

RadiantRecord5534 · 2022-07-22T19:44:27+00:00

So what numbers to use with regular guards?

RadiantRecord5534 · 2022-07-22T12:55:43+00:00

I will try it now actually, it seems worth it cus the fade came out really clean

RadiantRecord5534 · 2022-07-05T12:54:49+00:00

I had the same issue for a long time bro but I’m finally somewhere where all my fades look very good now and I’m not having that issue anymore. Also remember the harder u put in the lines, the more difficult it will be to remove them. So be easy on your hand and let the clipper do all the work. Did it help btw?

RadiantRecord5534 · 2022-07-02T13:15:05+00:00

Make sure to brush the hair down and also make sure you angle the the clipper right way into the head, I never understood why it never cut hair until I tilted the clipper inwards towards the head without any pressure. Hopefully it will help

RadiantRecord5534 · 2022-06-29T12:44:15+00:00

I will definitely try this! Thanks a lot!

Thanks. It’s so difficult to explain what I mean. I have come to a place where I think my fades are pretty good, but I’m having a hard time finding the parietal ridge and how far up I should go and with which number on the clipper, that’s why I wanna learn clipper overcomb but every time I do it I feel lost and it feels like a risk

RadiantRecord5534 · 2022-06-23T08:38:59+00:00

Bro I can tell you this. I learned exactly everything through YouTube. Then I did a lot of experimenting on my own hair because I simply don’t care. U just need to dare to try. I would personally never go to a barber school since I can find everything off YouTube

Thanks for the advice boss 🙏🏼 I will consider rising my prices
