Very clean and informative video, sir. I have a question in regards to cutting the top of black clients hair with clippers. When the client asks for a specific guard/number on top, do you as the barber make the decision to go with or against the grain? Or do you always ask the client their preference before running the clipper though their hair? I know that with or against the grain produces very different results.
Thanks for watching family. It really depends on the hair, the density of the hair and the length. Since I know we were going low, i went against the grain. If we were leaving it heavier i might have went with the grain so it all depends on the hair. If you’re unsure just go with the grain. If the clients have waves, ALWAYS go with the grain, they will literally run out the shop lol. Remember you are the professional, trust your eye, and if going with the grain isn’t getting it low enough, explain to your client that you may have to go against to get the desired length.
I am towards the end stretch of barber school, did the barber with chem program, and can confirm this here. Once I got my kit, I had all the tools I needed to hone the craft of barbering, and the first investment after paying tuition was the 76 with the blades. I like many of the clippers on the market, but the detachables just hit different. Much success to all of the hair artisans!! Blessings
Wow! I trained using the (corded) Oster 76 as well back in 98. That #18 blade was a lifesaver especially when it came to straight hair. Although I hated cutting straight hair, it made it such a smooth transition. I still use my Oster's when tapering down my female clients. Thanks for the memories... ✂️💈 ✂️
The biggest issue with detachable fading is that when you need access to the measurements in-between blades, you don't have it. Granted, this can work on some people, but it probably won't work on most.
@DudeCanCutTV I get that but to do that is honestly just working backwards. This technique is fun to do on some hair types but others not so much and is more of a challenge to yourself, rather than for practical use.
Using detachable blades has essentially taken away all of the guess work out of fading. My clipper lineup is oster ocane with blades 2 down to 000 Corded Master/Phat Master Corded T outliner. Can do any cut without picking up a guard
Biddy yapped the whole time. Smooth cut too. 😂
@@johnnydotz 😂😂😂😂😂
I tried your method today and it worked so good! it honestly took a while looking for a easy to follow video for detachable blades. Thank You
@@marcomonroy6872 awesome!!!
Excellent looking cut and great at explaining what you were doing as you did the cut.
Awesome! Glad you found some value in it bro
Thanks bro! I’m one of two using detachables in barber college.
Yessir
My andis detachable outliner blade doesn't go through bulk to skin out .
Does your outliner blade cut like your trimmer does brother?
Nope it doesn’t I actually don’t use that blade as much because of that smh
Great work and video, as I am getting back to cutting with detachable blades. The 18 tooth skip blade that you are using is it from oster ? Thank you.
Yes it is. Excellent blade to add to you’re arsenal
Can you keep making detachable fade videos ? would love to see how you would do a taper I’m about to invest in some this week !!
@@j.cartier__ got you family!
What andis detachable clipper is that you’re using in the beginning?
The Andis Pulse ZR 2
@ nice thanks! Is there a difference between that one and the Supra II ? If so, Which is better?

Yesssirrr
I would like to see a guard vs blade battle competition but yes I love detachable
I wouldn’t mind seeing that either!

Love it!!!
Corded T-Outliner has to be the best trimmer of all time man, come on! Saber's is fire, but I can never give up them corded liners man 😂
This is accurate 😂🤷🏿♂️
Do you have any issues with the outliner blade not feeding hair well
@@The_UnrulyBarber it’s not perfect I tend to have to go over it again with trimmers. It honestly depends on the texture

The comb would be you’re guard if you don’t have the blades to get in between.

I had no idea about the 18 skip tooth
It’s deadass the clean up blade aka Blurry Blade game changer bro 😊
Grab you’re self one it’s a game changer 💪🏽💪🏽

That’s how it should be! Detachable blades just hit different.
