In this video I will describe each guard from a number double 0 to a number 3 and how the metal guards cut shorter than the number they have on the faceplate of the blade.
METAL GUARD 3 3/4 = NUMBER 3 GUARD PLASTIC AND MAGNETIC
METAL GUARD 3 1\2 = NUMBER 2 GUARD PLASTIC AND MAGNETIC
METAL GUARD 2 IS LOWER THAN A PLASTIC #2 BUT HIGHER THAN A PLASTIC 1.5 PLASTIC OR MAGNETIC GUARD (IN BETWEEN)
METAL GUARD 1A = WAHL NUMBER 1 GUARD AND ANDIS NUMBER 1 MAGNETIC GUARD
METAL GUARD #1 = (1/16 (#1) PLASTIC WAHL) AND 1/16 NUMBER 0 ANDIS MAGNETIC GUARD

Best explained video out of all others on youtube.
Thank you bro
I just started barber school and my teacher went over the guards i was lost as hell but then i found your video and you explained it better than my teacher and now i understand a lot more than before thanks bru.
NaSean Ferguson
No problem good luck!
Nice!! Thanks This explains why people would think the cut was shorter than expected with the metal guards
Big difference bro
Excellent video the only one by far that thoroughly explains how much each blade cuts.
Perfectly explained! thanks brother!
Thank you for explaining this. I'm so sharing with the girls I work with, a lot of us have the oster 76 it gives a smooth cut.
Very helpful, thank you so much man!
Thank you so much for this explanation!
Thanks for this video, I knew I was not bugging and the #1 was not a true 1. I feel like I can use them more now.
Great video! Thanks for breaking it down! Appreciate it!!!
For sure man
thanks bro for explaining man i appreciate it!
Thank you for this!!!!
My dude. Thank you sooooooooo much for this video. It just changed my understanding of the metal guards and how powerful they are. Excellent overview. Subbing and God bless!
Getloose360 your welcome brother!
Nice video thanks this was very helpful
Awesome bro thanks for the video it was great

Thanks man. Needed this
Glad I could help
thank you for your help!!!
That was a great video. I truly believe the 31/2 detachable blade is like the Andis purple #2 guard lever open with a taper blade.
Simple and helpful video, Salute
Glad it helped
The best info . Thanks you bro
I got you bro
Do you have another video explains more sizes on the metal guards ?
word g i needed this info so bad! its been buggin me for 20yrs now haha
ZuluSpear lol cool man
How did you better at cutting hair with the detachable clipper??
Very helpful
So do you prefer the detachable blades over the plastic guard's?
thanks man appreciate your help alot

Good morning i gotta quick question witch one is the 1/4th i couldn't see it to good on this video??
bro you made it wayyy simpler. Thank you so much You should have an actual class.
Thank you 😘
And thanks for the info I have the bgrv and I really wanna get familiar with detachables
Yea bro the bgr are good clippers the supras are cordless and pack more power . I just started using them in barber school man . Start slow , give someone a 3 on top and then try fadeing the whole cut with the metal guards . Then just clean up your fade with the masters, Oster fast feeds or whatever u have . Then move up to fadeing with long hair . Hmu if u get stuck
Can you put any plastic guard on the oster blades ?
Thank you so much for the great information! You clarified it to simple terms!
Barber O for sure man. Remember these Guards cut very different on straight hair. Some ppl go by the measurement. But it’s deceiving
@@BREEDBAZA I will take a note on that. I just barely started to use my oster 76ers and have noticed it's a huge difference!!
Barber O yea bro that 3 1/2 metal will scalp some heads. But it’s really a 2 . Ppl don’t want to listen. it’ll affect their pockets later. And piss some clients off. Thanks for love!
@@BREEDBAZA thank you for replying brother! Blessings and let's chase this passion 💯❤
Barber O for sure bro! Good luck on your journey 💈💈
Thanks so much
Any time
so if a 0A is equivalent to no guard all the way open and a 1 detachable is the same as 1/16th, then what is equivalent to a 1/16th half way open in the wahl guard system?
Peace my dude. Thanks for posting this video. Very helpful as I’m starting to transition from adjustables to detachable blades. I have a question tho.. is the 1 detachable more like the 0 guard, open on a andis or wahl?
Just about bro. Theres a slight difference
1A is for blending .
Thank you!!!!!!!!!
You're welcome!
Great video. Oster blades or andis ceramic blades for a andis supra zr?
Gabriel Lugo hey man either or. I use the Oster blades with my andis Supra and have no problems. Just personal preference but I would say if I don't have either yet . Go for the andis blades for the Supra
Can i use metal detachable blades on adjustable clippers... all I see they go with none adjustable....
any recommendation??
Thanks. Great video!!
Landon Solo
Not sure I understand the question bro? Again please ?
LOVE your video, thanks u very much, i learned a lot today.
No problem happy it helped you out 👍🏼

Thank you! When I fade with wahl I’ll use no guard closed no guard open than a 1/16th closed than 1/16th open. Depending on if they want a 1 or a 2 than I’ll proceed to my 1 guard closed than open. And so on so forth going up. TodAy I bought the Oster Octane and I have a triple zero I bought a 0A, a 1, 1 1/2, and a 2. Can u or
Do you make a video showing the blade sequence In respect to a fade. ??
I will if you’d like
Using clips to fade is pretty easy for me but I'm trying to step my game up with the titans with just the detachable metal blades. Can you go in order and leave out the blades I don't need? Thanks

Wow great video. My Andis #4 says 13mm and so does my Oster 76 Blade 3 3/4 also labeled 13mm. Not true ? I just ordered an Ultraedge blade 5/8 HT from Andis. Would that be equal to a #4 Andis purple ? Thanks.
That is correct
Hey i saw on Amazon there is a Ultra Edge Detachable blades 2 3/4, 1 3/4, & a 1 1/4 are those needed in your collection ? Or is all the detachable blades you covered in this video is all the blades you need ?
The ones I covered get the job done perfect and is all u need . The ones you mentioned are cool to have but not necessary
This is the best OSTER video on the net period. I just brought a pair of oster 76, I cut my hair with the 1 and lost all my waves. I was going to buy a 3F but oster don't cut the same as everyone else. Thank you.
I am getting my waves back. My hair would curl at a 2 wahl guard open and everything worked.
I subscribed and like, can you answer on question. Should I get a 3 or 3 1/2 for waving?
Lee-ander Ingram
Good luck bro happy to help. Yea that 1 is a danger zone for curly hair haha.
It's best to fade out lines with. It's not for with the grain on top unless you want the top super short with no waves.
"IF" possible can you do a video on how to fade with an oster 76er my teacher said if i learn how to use that then learning to use the adjustables will be easy..
NaSean Ferguson just go in order and I promise it will be crisp
Nicely put together video! I liked how you explained all the of the guards & detachable blade sizes. When you went to barber school did you have all the blade sizes ? Or did you buy one little by little until you had every detachable blade ?
Thanks bro! I need to get better explaining I feel like I say um too much haha. I'll get there . But when I started barber school back in 2010. They gave me every metal blade except the 3 3/4 , I bought that blade from eBay my self . Each metal blade can range from $25-$35 a blade . They can get expensive . But I recommend learning how to fade with the metal guards when u can , it will change your fade and give the detail it needs .
They're definitely an investment, but so worth it. I have clients that prefer coming to me vs other stylists who use plastic guards.
Your clients will notice the difference.
It's definitely a little intimidating at first switching from plastic to metal, I made a little cheat sheet that I kept out of their sight, just for me that has the conversions to plastic in case I forget.
Great video I have been using the classic for the last 30 years and been a stylist for 40 years and just worked with a group of barbers and never used an adjustable blade before. I am still getting used to it and am to free handing everything but with bald fades being so popular and time consuming I see tue benefits for having all tools in your arsenal. I have always felt the Oster 1 was too close so that was good to hear. If it was a new client I always started with a 1 1/2. So clear and informative THANK You 😊
Great video. Where u located in Houston?

Can you use the oster metal 3 3/4 detachable blade on Andis bgrv?
Yea bro , it fits . I use Oster medal blades on my Andis supra and it works perfect
got a question when u doing a bald fade start off with a 00000 then go 0000 would the 0000 push up ur first guideline u put in with the 00000 make the fade go up higher
Dondon Trill the 00000 cuts shorter than the 0000. So it’ll be a little longer than the 0000 but not to noticeable
I always simplify it by just thinking of it as 1 size lower. So a 1blade is like a half guard length more or less. A 2 blade is like using a 1.5guard more or less.
Bro love this video. Been sharing it at barber school. please redo this video with a chart man. Thank you!!
Follow me on ig bro @breedbaza for more tips💈🫡
I’ll be posting more on RUclips for now on. I’ll help any way I can
if i want a true number 3 with a Oster 76 what guard should i use? i have a number 3 which is probably going to be shorter
since you say 3 3/4 is a true 3 cut i agree with you they cut shorter as what the number says on metal thanks for this clear
explanation!!!
Ismenia Dane
Yes a true 3 is the metal 3/34
The 3/12 will cut short around a true number 2
A true number 3 with the detachable blades is the 3 1/2.
True number 4 will be the 3 3/4.
Is the back side of your Oster #2 curved? I ordered mine off amazon thinking its gon be flat
Tee slightly curved bro. Got a pic of how yours looks? Send it I’ll help out Thebarberschair2016@gmail.com
I was about to buy different blades for andis bgrc in there websites and i check the price in best clippers.com and they are cheaper. Are these the same quality from andis own website than best clippers.com? is theres something i should be aware?
forgive my english grammar I'm still learning.
thanks :)
beauty young I purchased personally from www.bestclippers.com
I got brand new clippers and was totally satisfied. They are the real deal. I believe they are based in Dallas Tx. Yes they are the real company's manufacturers.
dope video tho.
👏👍Yeah the magnetic ones move, I don't use anything but metal with my 76s.
Good video. It'll help a lot of ppl new to the blades.
What clippers do you prefer? Do you use different kinds depending on the cut?

And that 3 3/4 blade by Andis on Amazon is it only for animals/pets ? Cuz that's what it's all saying when you read about it ? Can you use it on human hair? Or should I for that blade just get the oster 3 3/4 blade ?
Yea u can use it on human hair , a lot of metal guards can be used for pet grooming as well make sure it's the 3 3/4 (13mm)
will an andis 3 3/4 fit on a oster model 10 because i can't seem to get an oyster 3 3/4 because i live in the uk
Dynasty Amplify yea it will . Try Amazon
Oster Detachable Blade # 3 3/4 (76918-206) www.amazon.com/dp/B0019LETXI/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_-g.-xbX28F19J
What metal guard size cuts like a 2.5 plastic? Please looking to get a haircut soon.
3 1/2 closest to that it’s like a 3 wahl guard
Thank you for the video recently bought the classic 76 without doing my research..🙄
Lori marissaa I recommend the Oster octanes . But the 76ers won't let u down.
If im using the wahl guards an hate the grey half guard wat detachable blade will bypass that so thatvi dnt have to use that guard
The number 1 guard is what you'll need to use . the metal #1 NOT the 1A. But be careful with the number 1 use the corners till u get the feel for that blade .
Does Andis purple double magnetic guard fit Oster 1A blade?
No
Yes!! thanks bro. Am going to start cutting my own hair. It's getting to expensive
is the #2 metal guard equivalent to a 1/8 on the masters all the way open?
Tarrod Mason the #2 metal is ALMOST the same. If not in between. The 1/8 masters open wil cut a litttle bit shorter or the same. Depending which blade you have on the masters, or the hair type.
Really helpful, but is there a detachable for the 1/12 wahl guard ??? Thanks
Jaime Navarro 1.5?
The Barber's Chair 4.5mm
#Respect.
You put me on some game
Happy to help bro
Hi Adrian, I wanted to thank you for the video, That was really helpful! I bought all of the metal guards you talked about in the video. I want to buy #4 and a number between 3 and 4 (Wahl comb sizes), could you advice me what are these numbers for Andis detachable blades? Many thanks, Shamall
Like I said, I already bought numbers 2 and 3 (andis 3 1/2 and 3 3/4), is there a number in between them, like a true 2.5?
Will this also applied to the Andis zr
Yes it’s perfect
Which metal guards is good for wavers
1A - 1.5 oster
Does Andis make a 3 3/4 detachable blade ?
Yea bro here's the link
www.amazon.com/Andis-Ultra-Edge-Blade-64135/dp/B003NTL2RA
If I use the 000 detachable blade on top on African American hair, then blend up what would my last fade number on a detachable
I didn't understand the question . My bad . U said u put a 000 on curly hair with the grain ? and how do u fade what out ?
I have the regular Andis master with the double magnet guards
That's probably why u are having problems bro . The regular master have a blade on them that is thick. (Improved blade) u need the fade masters blade . Just buy this blade . Not another masters . The fade blade cuts a lot closer so I can fade out lines better.
Andis Fade Master Blade 01591 www.amazon.com/dp/B000GOUHR6/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_mL-nxbB7406QY
So u can fade out the line better *
Were did you buy your metal guard sett
www.thebarberplug.com discount code (breedbaza)
Which is the best 76, 10, or titan ?
I’d say oster octane
Check the mm readings on each blade/ guard. 2 is a 2. 3.5 is a 3. 3.75 is a 4
Kyle Ziemer y’all are too worried about the slightest cm. Just cut it’s all near the same. Everyone’s opinions different . It’s the same. Doesn’t make a HUGE difference
Does this ably to all metal guards?
Yea all metal guards are the same . Brand doesn't matter . Just make sure it's the same number
Hi I wanna ask if u can put an andis dual magnetic guard on oster blade, is that possible does anyone know?
Which oster blade?
@@BREEDBAZA the one that come with when u buy it or any other low teeth blade?
those metal guards are dope as fuck. just a bit confusing for us beginners. I can get the hang of em.
Ismael Gonzalez
It takes time bro. A lot of clippers opened and closed have different levels but once u cut everyday it becomes second nature to know the feel of the blade. Good luck bro
No it's okay il explain again, I have a black guy hair, I cut a 000 detachable blade on the top of his head, what would be the blades I use to fade the hair into the 000 blade at the top. I hope that makes more sense
If ur fading with metal guards it's a 0000 or 00000 . For the sides . Do u happen to have any clippers like Wahl senior Andis master or Oster fast feed ? Doesn't have to be those clippers but something like them ?
Oster doesn't manufacturer the 1 1/2 guards, why ??
I have one bro
The 0000 detach, is good for bald fade?
19 84 R yes. But 00000 would be the best. U can't go wrong with the 0000. Just as good.
The Barber's Chair Thank you bro. I am undecided between buying an Andis Supra ion120 or the Supra Zr for heavy work and skin fade.
19 84 R hey, I had the Supra and it broke one me within 8 months. I currently have the oster octane. The octane is bulkier , but built to last longer.
total rookie here, so here's a dumb question:
the metal 'guards' are also blades?
so you could put the plastic or magnetic guards on top of the metal 'guards' ? to add up distance and cut longer ?
P V the magnetic and plastic guards wont fit on the metal blades bro.
Are those metal guards necessary?
Lord of Darkness not necessarily bro but recommend for professional. Whatever tools you feel work best for you. But at least give it a shot
Apply
Would the metal blades work on a Wahl Predator?
bxriver yes, it looks like the Wahl predator takes the "competition series" blades
The Barber's Chair Would an oster or andis blade work? I can't see a 1 1/2 blade in the wahl range.
bxriver this is a number 4 for the Wahl competition series blades

Notice it said "4mm" that is a 1.5.
Google Oster blades and read the "mm" number on the blade to help u find what u need.
It should work . Most detachable clippers all fit. I'm 99% sure it would fit
Thank you very much!
Going to get the Wahl 7F
bxriver
No problem. Look at the Wahl plastic guards they come one colors 1-8 and look at the mm number to compare to the metal blades and you'll be set
Actually the Detachable Blade numbers are the TRUE NUMBERS. You have it backwards. The plastic guards are bad misrepresentations of the Detachable Blades. Most all Adjustable blade clippers start at 000 and end at 0A or 1. Most Wahls open to about 0A while the Andis Masters open to 1. If you check the millimeter measurements on your guards you will notice that they correspond to a specific blade it's trying to represent. The Wahls guards millimeter measurements are the farthest off. The half guard should cut the same as a detachable 0A, but it cuts a little shorter than a Detachable Blade TRUE #1. The Wahls 1 guard is the only guard that is a correct measurement. The "Guard system" are all in 8th of inches. 1 = 1/8 of an inch, all the way up to the #8= 1 inch. The same goes for the "Blade system" 1A = 1/8 of an inch. 2 is 2/8 of an inch. 3 1/2 is 3/8 of an inch. 3 3/4 is 4/8 of an inch. 5/8 blade is exactly that, 5/8 of an inch, and the 3/4 blade is 6/8 of an inch a True #6. Barber's today don't invest in their trade so noone uses blades any more. They use these cheap plastic guards. This is why Wahl has made the 1/2 and the 1 1/2. The 1/2 is a 1 and the 1 1/2 guard is the 1 1/2 blade. The Wahl guards never blended together correctly so they added what was missing from their Guard System The clipper open is 0A so they added the 1/2 guard to fill in between the 0A and the 1/8. They had the 1A in their 1/8 so they added the 1 1/2 guard to fill the gap between the 1A and the 2. Like I said before all the guards cut far longer than they should. Also the 00 0 and the "Half" are actually blade sizes. At one point in time Oster made 0 and 00 blades. The "half is what the Masters open is, so it would be a #1 instead of a 0A. If you ever get your hands on the the origin Model M Masters you will notice that the notches are 000,00,0 and1/2.
Osita Echebiri yea i already mentioned that in the comments. Depends what blade u have on the masters . Improved blade is a 1. Surgical blade is a half. I'm just going by with my experience. I know all the ("). It says them on the plastic guards. Clients don't know the details it's either a number. Just wanted to save some ppl before they cut to short with the metal guards in the future.
Osita Echebiri I agree. I never use guards. I just use them to cut the top of the head or to start my guideline. To finish my cuts I use clipper over comb with the 1-16 and 1-8. But that's advance . Just wanted to cover the basics but I agree
So is 1/8 with the clippers open an 1 1/2?
A true number 3 with the detachable blades is the 3 1/2.
True number 4 will be the 3 3/4.
GirlInThe415 not accurate.
The Barber's Chair wrong she is exactly accurate look on the oster page a 3 3/4 is half inch which equals 4#
chelle roberson stop going by measurements and go by how the guard cuts. I know what I’m talking about
I have a question on a bald fade
What about a 3 3/4 FC
Like what heck mean?
Chris S. the 3 3/4 and the 3 3/4 FC both cut to the same length but the FC blade will leave a smoother cut. The F.C. stands for Final Cut.
Chris Soriano that will be a true #4, as it leaves approximately 1/2" of hair on the scalp.
The metal ones are blades, not guards
Actually the 1 blade is equivalent to the 1/2 guard because the 0A blade is a lot shorter than the 1/2 guard!
Dont get a 5 out if you already have an andis fade master.
Unless u like to put he 5 out on ur octane or heavy duty clipper in general.
Daishinkai Sama pretty obvious
Wrong 3.5 on the oster is 3/8 a 3# 33/4 is a half inch or 4#
chelle roberson just because it’s labeled the same length, doesn’t mean they cut the same. Put a number 4 with a plastic on someone’s head. Then back door with a 33/4 metal. Watch hair fall off
Aught. Not out lol
Wrong. 000 is adjustables closed. 0A is halfway open. 1 is all the way open. 1A is 1 guard.
Kyle Ziemer 😂 ok bro.
