- One of the most asked questions about these trimmers, "What's the difference?", Where do I get replacement parts for it?" In this video we discuss those questions asked, or if you just can't seem to make a decision to buy either or hopefully this helps you out! Much love, Cesar.

As a barber of 5 years...you just explained perfectly what I needed to know. Thank you.
Wait so after 5 years of being a barber you couldn’t figure this out on your own 🤔
Been watching some of your videos recently. Appreciate the time you took to go in detail. Keep them coming!
Diggy Blends thank you brother I appreciate that
Overview:
Gold is like t outliner blade where as silver is more like the GTX blade. Gold is better for shorter hair silver better for longer hair and thicker hair. Gold tends to scratch a bit more but not to the point of pain. Gold one is quieter. Replacement blades or parts are mostly out of stock or hard to find but are compatible with both trimmers. In conclusion both trimmers are great and you can’t go wrong with either.
Igor Todorovic sounds pretty accurate me thank you 🚀🚀🚀
IamCesar thank you for the great and accurate review 👏🏼👏🏼
I have really thick straight hair and I want the taper fade with a line up like Anuel AA what they pretty much call the edgar lol but which one should I get then
Would you go for the skeleton one or the gold one?
Great video man! Honestly a lot of the time’s when I am looking a review, or unboxing, or just a good video, I always end up coming to your channel! Love the vid man! You are gonna make it!!!!
YAAAASSSSS means a lot bro!! more on the way!!
@@iamcesarq which one you recommend for shaving facial hair ?
I just purchased a silver set just came to see what the difference ..you killed it. Thanks
Too underrated man, just keep going, you’ll make it!! Barber love man💙💈💈
Appreciate you boss! Just sharing the knowledge 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
@@iamcesarq Whats the name of the silver ones
The silver ones are the babyliss silver fx skeletons
Good I'm on a rez cutting thick native hair so thank u for the review because I've been on the classics 76 because of all the thick hair I do after 15 to 20 cuts a day my 76ers do fine so scared to buy cordless they just dont hold on thick hair
Hi Bro, nice video. Do you know which lenght options the gold fx has? Is it adjustable with 0,5 mm from Zero-40mm of like the clipper till 3,5mm? Last thing I need to know before buying.
so i thought it was just a color difference. does the golden with the shorter teeth do better with edges? does it cut shorter than the silver one? im planning on using it mainly for bear edges
I loveeee your videos!!!!!! I’ve been watching your videos since before I started barber school and continue to do so as im still in school, even though I already purchased the gold trimmers this video is yet so informing to me. Thank you! I shall continue to follow you as I continue my journey ☺️💈✊🏻
what are the silver ones called? I'm confused. trying to get these for my girlfriend but I want the better one...which seems to be the silver? just don't know the name
denise salgado honestly thank you so much for all the support, it really means a lot. And o apologize for replying to this message late, if there’s anything I can do to help let me know! Once again thanks for the love. I hope your journey is epic 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
I heard you mention the differences between the two(2) were the short vs. long teeth for short vs longer hair. Were you Still referring to Lining/Outlining the hair, i.e. Shaping the beards, neck-lines, and around the haircut, which is what I need and have seen, as advertised?? Which one will give the Sharpest line, like in the various videos?
Saw the Ravens shirt and auto subscribed. 😃
That's why I rock wit Gamma+ Boosted 💯
So I’m a fellow barber and a few weeks ago I purchased a set of the silver fx’s form Sally’s beauty supply. Took them out and tried them on myself first and the graphite blade ran really hot, I thought ok that’s odd. So I oiled them. Still same problem. So I talked to Rum Barber here on RUclips which is another barber. He suggested I keep them oiled real good as to get them broken in some which I can see. I did that and the blade was still hot. I was puzzled I was like wow an almost $200 set of trimmers should not be doing this. So Rum Barber suggested I send them back to the company which I did and the Rep who was Tracy was very nice and understanding and being under warranty she fixed me up with an all new set. So I was excited and thought It just be a factory flaw is all it was. So I started using my new set last week and I’ll be darned if the blade isn’t running hot again! I’m like what the heck is going in here. Even the motor sounds a little funny here and there. I’ve oiled them good and am at a loss at to what is going on? Again I like the looks of these trimmers, great feel in the hand I love the skeleton trimmer. Any thoughts or help as to why this is a problem for me and has anyone else experienced this? Is there a power adjustment for them? Thanks for listening!
The blades might be to tight, that’s how mine were they were reallyyyy really hot, so I loosened them up and it was wayy wayyy better
Which one is best for super thick Hispanic beard. I want something for edging/lining my beard and keeping it shaped
Great Video. Very helpful. What about sharing thought about Monster Clippers?🤝
Very informative.
I was wondering why the Graphite Blade doesn't hit like the Gold Blade and it's definitely due to the thinness of the Blades. Im thinking of modifying the Graphite but hadn't seen too many reviews on performance after modifying (sharpening)
Thank you, yeah you can def sharpen the 2.0 blade but I wouldn’t do it just for the sharpness. If that’s the case I would go with the fine tooth blade which is graphite as well. It hits well and it’s like the sweet spot between the 2.0 and the ultra thin blade
Just got the Gold ..!! And it works perfect . Thanks for the info. Made my purchase a lot easier.
Did yours came already oiled?
@@joseluisnunezperozo5481 no it didn’t bro.
What is a good trimmer for lining short beards just for personal use
Im want to use the gold fx in Germany. Problem is the Voltage output & hz. Can i get the trimmer with an european plug?
Which one would you recommend for line ups ?
Hi what would you recommend our of the gold's compared to the babyliss lo pro fx
I just got these edgers with the new black diamond carbon deeptooth blade on it. It is great
Did yours came already oiled? Mine did and it got me thinking it might be used or refurbished.
Should I go for the skeleton trimmer or the gold fx one?
What’s good man I need advice on a pair of clippers for bald fade/dry shaving which is best lmk
Yes that’s the issue I had with babyliss and that’s the replacement parts! They need to work on that honestly
rockyroadbarber whats the isue?
Which should i buy as a beginner thats buy his first trimmer?
got the silver skeleton and got the graphite blade works very well cuts through hair like butter and gives sharp shape ups not tried the babyliss gold skeleton yet
you'll see a different they're even sharper
does it not catch tho the graphite
How does the gold one compare to a zero gapped andis slimline pro?
Great review, I recently bought the silver FX and it pull/snag especially cleaning up around the neckline against the grain,any idea on what may be causing this or may I have brought a defective one???
ok mine does the same thing, having a hissy fit trying to find out why. Babyliss has replaced the blades (2.0), and after about 2 weeks, same issue.
I hear this too often 😢
great vid my man
Great vid. Thanks for the clarification on the two. Im looking to cut my sons hair, what liners would you recommend that are easy on the kids sensitive skin.
The slimline pro Li by andis is pretty good on children
like tise said slimline are an awesome alternative although i believe the gammas should be fine as well
@IamCeasr in your opinion which blade gives a crisper line up. Or do both line well. Thinking about purchasing one and I wanna make sure before I buy.
+1
Great video what’s the diff between babyliss fx788s vs fx787s
This trimmer,couldn’t get better than what it is! 💥💥💯
Can you recommend which is better for 0:5 mm trim haircut please
Why didn’t you make this damn video before I bought my Silver FXs? Nobody could answer these questions. 3 months too late. Good vid
MMA BARBER LIFE lmao i was wondering the same thing so i would know before i tried to get one. btw love both of your guys content
Hahaha I deal with these questions on the daily, thought it was about time to answer them. Thanks bro! How do you like yours so far bro?
IamCesar I like em, but their are a few things I don’t like. I haven’t had to use my corded T outliners since, but on rare occasion I’ll pick up my slimlines.
@@jay2k896 appreciate the love my dude!!!!
@@TRAVELBARBERLIFE what didn't you like?did it pull or not feel like it was hitting? slimlines will always have a special place in everybody's arsenal lol ol reliables
Whay in same babyliss gold fx is written,3 hours running and in same is 2 hours. And they look totally the same??
And they go from 130€-400€. What is the difference?
Buenas noches cesar .
Tu sabes porque my trimmer babyliss gold se atasca en el cuero cabelludo y corta la piel (ya las ajuste menos "zero gap". Pero sigue igual . Sera que todas son asi o la mia salio mal 😸
i didn’t really understand are they both the same and the only difference is the blade or is it something else?
3:37 that’s exactly why I stopped getting groomed by my all time barber, he had recently gotten that trimmer and he would always scratch my forehead when lining me up 🆙
Please show how to replace the gold blade to the graphite blade
Which one is better for shaving for bald heads
I have the Babyliss FX Silver, I miss placed all the accessories except the charging cord. Would I be able to purchase them from you, the zero gap tool with the hex driver, the screw driver and the guard that protects the trimmer when not being used?
Unfortunately those things I don’t believe are sold separately brother. Sorry for the late reply
Nice vid bro, I’m having some issues with my gold FX, just got it the other day at it keeps snagging underneath my neck. I re adjusted and oiled it up and it’s not hitting right. Would you recommend I buy a new 707z or the 2.0?
Look 0 it to were you barley see any gold on the still bladeit will stop I have 13 fx trimmers none do it
Just subscribed bro I want to ask on the babyliss pro Have they made any this year like the one you’re holding on your right hand clipper that is not God the two package deal?
You can buy it separately
Best advice for new Barbers is? And Gooooooo 🔥
Where can I buy the motor for the silver mine went out
I sub just because you are a ravens fan!! I know you got to be a smart guy
God Son 02 hahaha thank you 🙏🏼
What model is better for balding ? Silver or gold ?
Hello guys, please which one amongst those do you recommend to a guy who's hairs are thicker than love? The gold or the silver please?
the silver are supposed to handle thick hair better due to its longer teeth, so i would give those a shot
Would I have to use a screw driver n zero gap the blade like an Andis? Or is it easier just like the Babyliss clippers were u just use an allen key? Does other blades not fit this trimmer looks the same!
Sean Kearns they come with a small screw driver made special for the trimmers so you can adjust the blade and zero gap then without taking the blade off completely. All babyliss skeleton blades are compatible with each other 👍🏼
Still on the verge of purchasing these. The fact that it’s a bigger item compared to the andis cordless t liner, idk. If they go on sale, maybe but for now I’m sticking with ANDIS haha. Great video bro! Long time no see
Drewz Cutz yeah man decisions decisions! Thank you my man! It’s good to be back, Miss y’all too fam. 👍🏼
Bro, I've got the gold fx trimmers and all I can say is that it's done me wonders and my favourite trimmers till this date! however the silver is something id also be looking forward to getting my hands on one day too
Ocean Younan thanks bro. I’m about one click away from purchasing.
@@drewzcutz1 Just get it bro!! swear on my soul best trimmers for line ups :D
Stay with the Andis they always hit and for the price not much difference but if your a serious barber and have the extra cash that little bit better goes a long way with customers but you cant go wrong with Andis
Honestly the gold FX is sharper, gets closer to the skin and takes down bulk much better (even though I don't use them for that) but they do slightly pull on the skin at times (not enough to be a problem or irritate skin). The deeper tooth on the graphites seems like a gimmick trying to mimic the greatness of the GTX but the gold blade is also pretty deep (no where as short as the regular t Outliner blade)
i feel you bro, i hear a lot of people say they they liked the gold fx lot better, that they are more of a hitter. yes, everybody loves the OG GTX blade man its unparalleled at the moment for corded. i feel like the gold are well rounded
How's the rose gold vs gold performance. I know about the blade difference.
Facts bro but they sell a graphite blade that is fine teeth like gold I bought works just like gold one im happy now
I just ordered the babyliss gold fx , is it good out the box or should I zero gap them?
@@iamcesarq I just ordered the babyliss gold fx , is it good out the box or should I zero gap them?
So since the silver trimmers are meant for longer hair does it mean it can do the same work on short hair like the gold ones?
It will like up like any usual trimmer but to get The sharp likes the gold blade (ultra thin) will get the job done. Only reason is because it is a sharpened thinner blade
Great review, if you could only pick one which would it be?
TheWillDiamond I honestly like the gold ones, they have a black fine tooth black blade as well!
Which clippers (brand & model) would you recommend for a zero gapped trimmer used for at home whole head balding/shaving? Thanks
i would recommend some Cordless detailers straight out the box
@@iamcesarq Thanks. I'm really considering getting the Babyliss fx skeleton trimmer but I'm not sure if I should get the fine tooth or standard blade, I want as clean of a trim as possible? I like the black or silver but it looks like they both come with the deep tooth blade which is unfortunate.
I am trying to decide between the babyliss pro & the wireless toutliner. Looking for a review between the 2 to see which is more practical for me. I'm not a barber.. I do however cut my out hair. I usually shave my head. I have the corded toutliner for the past 10 yrs. Man that thing still hits like a champ. But I wanted to get something cordless. Any suggestions?
Dennis Haughton for your case brother I would recommend the cordless detailers Li. You should def look into those. Great for not only bulking but if you like your beard up it is amazing as well. Of course with a razor anything looks sharper but detailers are great.
Yup I agree
What are the best sharpest closest liners available right now? Cordless if possible but dont have to be.
The gold fox trimmers or the evos by gamma with a modified t outliner blade or gtx
Great video cesar
CocoFriky SHOW appreciate you my bro 🙏🏼
Cesar, which one do you recommend me for both trimming my beard and shaving my head?
I recommend the silver or any of the trimmers with the 2.0 blade. Reason why, the 2.0 will cut thru all your scalp like butter without pulling along with trimming your beard with ease. Although I recommend the babyliss combo as well you might as well for an extra 40$ ish dollars and get the shaver Save some money and also benefit you so you cut your hair down and get to skin with the shaver.
@@iamcesarq thanks...I will look for the silver one.
Hey Cesar are u the Nikie Jam barber?
I also heard that the silver gets louder in almost half of the time than the gold
What’s that bro lol
No idea bro tbh they should be the same machine just different blades bro
You are great bro,saludos desde Cuba.
saludos mi bro!
After watching your video I found the silver ones at Walmart for $80 I bought those checked Walmart again 2 days later they change the price to $100🤔
Hey. What would you recommend for trimming arm & leg hairs? Silver, Gold skeletons or Wahl 1919? I want to get away from my corded Wahl trimmer, its super annoying & limited. Thanks
Tbh any of those would work lol leg hairs army that hard to cut especially for any of those cordless machines. Some cordless slimlines would be just fine
Embrace masculinity! Stay hairy
you explained it well I spend 200$ on the gold skeleton where I have a fade and locks & that’s why I struggle to cut I wasn’t inpressed at all
Damn so much conflicting feedback on gold and silver im contemplating purchasing for facial hair shaving id guess the areas id shave are not thick at all but the moustache and chin area hair is course most seem to prefer the gold.Found a silver for $200 which by the sounds need to purchase a fine tooth blade for or simply go with the goldFX instead because id also want a nice sharp outline for moustache and goatee what would you suggest? Hair prob grows atleast 2-4mm prior to shaving
niko trill thank you, perhaps try the cordless detailers? They are the bombskies
CASUAL T hey brother, I believe 200$ is a little too pricey. On average they go for about 170-180 max check out our website. We have a sale going that is if you still need one. Www.SupremeBarberSupply.com also I would recommend you check out the cordless detailer. They are really well in general trimmers. If on a budget perhaps some slimlines or hitterz 👍🏼
@@iamcesarq hey fella, what would you recommend for facial usage, (coarse hair, with very sensitive skin prone to ingrowns) the Babyliss pro trimmer or wahl? Or a brand like oster?
I want these for myself to go with my detailers and Masters but I missed a sale of 87 such an L for me
Please i want to use it for shaving (0 charp) please the silver with new blade graphit 2 or the Gold
Thank you very much
Which would you reccomend for beards? Razors are ingrown hair makers for me.
I would recommend the gold one bro as it comes with the ultra thin blade making it effortless to edge up
I'm looking for personal use ... I stay bald and would use to keep it clean and beard and shaping but silver or gold is my question since you have them in stock or wahl detailer?
Derrick Williams I will put the silver in stock today as well as the rose gold! Honestly, both would do the trick, If you maintain your hair short and your hair isn’t that coarse (thick if go gold and if it’s thicker than a snicker silver. There are different blades you can also purchase deep tooth and fine tooth
You can’t go wrong with the detailer either, great at taking down bulk and also edging
IamCesar so for course hair u would say silver ?
I just ordered the babyliss gold fx , is it good out the box or should I zero gap them?
depends, try em out. a lot come gapped good already
Let’s Go Ravens! Represent!!
All day bro 💪🏼
What clippers do you recommend for around $50-60? I wanna cut my own hair and would like if the clippers came with guards. Thanks!
Laser Sharp honestly clippers at that price would be some corded magic clips or corded seniors. Great clippers and power.
However sometimes they don’t come with guards sometimes you just have to buy a few
@Laser Sharp I know right now they are pretty much out of stock or over priced. But Andis cordless Envy's were running for about $60 and they come with guards
Kemei 1996 their dirt cheap and good
This or the new lo pro fx Skeleton trimmers?
Shit I want the los cut it trimmers but I have other things I have to take care of first but eventually I’m gonna get it.
How come on your website the yellow premium wahl guards are missing a #5 and #7. They be doing the same thing on alibaba
Pierre Edwards that’s just how every distributor gets colored guards, we don’t make them. But in my opinion it’s still worth the money, you buy the wahl set and you don’t even get the .5 and 1 1/2. And I’ve never purchased anything from alibaba.
IamCesar true. But at least with the wahl set you have the option of purchasing the .5 and 1 1/2. If ima get a set of colored guards it would be nice to have all the numbers
What brand gloves are you using in this video?
Gabriel Aguila I am using large Phantom Gloves 🧤
Is there a difference between the babyliss skeleton in quality or is it just in color?
Literally what the video is about… lol
Is any difference between skeleton fx 787 GSE (gunsteel pro) and skeleton fx 787 G (gold)?
Thank you bro!
it will only be the blade bro, all other trimmers come with the 2.0 blade graphite or not the gold one is the only one that comes with an ultra thin blade
How about the rose gold? Is it the same as the gold or the silver?
The rose gold, the silver and the black skeleton all have the 2.0 blade. As well as the chameleon and then blue fx
I'm a woman ...I prefer to cut my son my self he have 4c hair ... thanks for the information it so helpful 🙏
Awesome hope all is well!
Idk if its just my clipper. But my Silver babyliss fx trimmer kepts pulling hair or plucking out hair... what could I do to fix this issue?
Take blade off clean put back & oil
exactly what champ said, clean em out re adjust them and oil them, if that doesn't work then its just the blade. swap it out
My silver fx are definitely a good investment i use them every day i liked the gold fx but I really noticed the difference once I bought the silver fx ... over all it really is mainly the blade... good video keep up grind dude 💪🏼
thats awesome bro, What do you use each blade more for or specifically?
thanks brother!
IamCesar length of hair shorter hair i would use the gold longer hair the silver
@@fadeaway5859makes sense because gold fx is fine tooth which is better for line ups making shorter hair easier to remove
But from your opinion which one you prefer? The silver one or the golden one? I’m trying to buy one this two right know i have the andis toutliner i just wanna upgrade.
for sharp lines= gold
i would prob use a cordless detailer for bulk tbh
So does the Gold fx’ cut closer to the skin or are they the same?
The blade on the gold fx gets the closest since it is the thinnest blade 👍🏼
Where can I order a new replacement blade
what about the bronze one bro?
Will you have the black n gold magic clips back in stock bro?
YeezyBoii Cervantes in a few days bro
Great Vid.. I just bought Rose goldfx.. I'm new to the barber game but can I use Andis all in one clipper spray on my babybliss or do I have to use babybliss spray??
Courtney Davis any of them work just fine brother. They all do similar stuff only difference is packaging and brand
@@iamcesarq Thanks bro
May I ask, Which blade does the rose gold one have? Thanks!
J L it has a regular DLC Tiatabuim 2.0 blade
IamCesar ok thank you, ended up getting the gold awhile back and don’t regret it
Let’s go RAVENS!!👌🏽
yessssiiirrr!
I got like 3 pairs of gold 1 silver but an extra black graphite blade lmao. I fuk with em. I’m a clipper junkie tho. Great video man
Tank Be Choppin haha aren’t we all clipper junkies lol which blade do you prefer bro? Thanks bro!
Is there a difference bro?
yM danger yea a bit. The graphite blades cuts better thru bulk and the regular gold blade is better at edging up.
Tank Be Choppin will the gold pair be noticeably better than my t outliners or should I just save my money? Not a barber just a self cutter but I do want the best cuts possible
yM danger man I like the golds better. That’s just my opinion.
What would be the best machine for just lining up beard and hairline?
I recommend either the ultra thin blade (gold) or the fine tooth graphite blade. Either once will give you sharp edges. If it’s just edging up not really bulking I’d go with the ultra thin blade.
@@iamcesarq Thank you, I appreciate it! Liked and subscribed 👊🏼
Can you trade out the original silver babyliss blade with the black skeleton blade?
Joe Woodard yes all blades are compatible with each other 👍🏼👍🏼
That’s crazy I did not know You distributed on supreme barber supply
all day brother!
Both the FX gold and FX silver sound really loud. A). What the rated Db on them?
B). What does GTX stand for?
I need a quiet, long run time, Li-ion battery, for paws, face, and the underside matted hair for dogs. The motor is rather powerful, but it does sound like a race car engine!
C). I currently intend to buy the Babyliss Pro FX788S, but after watching the video, I wonder if it is too loud for my dog?!
D). Is the model reviewed the FX788 or something else?
Just use the blade modifier every few months if u can't get a blade. I'm going to buy the gun metal grey they look 🔥.
Sean Kearns sounds like a plan if it doesn’t pull 👍🏼 probably after a few times usage of the 1 min modifier maybe not use it for bulking but just edge ups ?
Would you say FX trimmer or Andis Slimline pros?
Fx
Someone just needs to make a way to adapt andis blades to this beast and we'll be all set I'm a professional licensed barber and I had to talk one of my cousins out of buying this trimmer because of no replacement blades available or in very short supply and at the price point is absolutely ridiculous
May i ask? The gold or silver did you had to talk him out of?
The gold at the time the silver wasn't out yet
Man I didnt know this. I like the silver. Didnt kno the blades where different
Yeah man a lot of people don’t know
