Ive been using the Wahl Senior since graduation from Cosmo school. It takes out bulk and I use it for clipper over comb techniques. It does it’s job. I’ve recently bought the Gamma Booster and fusion blade for fading. So far I’m loving your review videos. Thank you for sharing.
Been using my seniors since they came out and I always buy the latest clipper but the seniors always got me coming back! I love the innovation the companies are doing but the seniors too me are just the most reliable
@@alamdar-aliabidi1389 yea it’s legit once you put the wahl fade blade on it. The blade it comes with I like for anything that’s not a skin fade. It’s good on beard sculpting tho
@@dude7124 ye ofc, senior is like prehistoric tool compared to gamma boosted tbh, all tools by wahl are way behind competition except new hi viz trimmer ;]
I agree I only have it on my Cordless Senior I absolutely love it still takes out the bald guideline no matter how hard I put it in and still gives a blurry fade
Wahl, in general, will always be relevant. I’ve hopped off the rebranded Chinese product bandwagon, and, as of late, have been using the corded Oster Fast Feed and the cordless Wahl Legends. The Legends are amazing. Mad that I slept on them for so long.
One thing i learned about clippers is that you have to sit with them for some time and really see how they work. Every clipper gives a different type of blend has its pros and cons.
Man, I just put the Gamma+ fixed Taper & Gold cutting blades on the Saber Clippers and wow! That blade setup is the absolute truth and my fav right now. It will not remove the initial guideline but for everything else, it's amazing and it's super quiet. I use the boosted with a stretch bracket and fade blade to remove the initial guideline & for detailing. They're a pretty mean combo.
my corded wahl seniors will do the same thing its all about the person working the clipper. if i was actively in a shop cutting i'd own every clipper ever made too its fun using multiple tools.
@@Seancutshair when i was in barber school my instructor told me that if i didnt make it as a barber i would as a clipper salesman cause i had so many clippers. years later i like to make that part true. i want to buy clippers in bulk at one price and sell them for another price.
This clipper seems to be a staple in the black barber shops I went to before I started cutting my own hair. I'd imagine it's better for course black hair. That motor is loud but powerful. I use a magic clip and couldn't be happier with its performance.
Still my go to for fading anything below a 1. For bulk removal not so much. In order to eliminate the guess work on the lever I just grab a flathead Philips and mark where the lever reaches all the way open and closed. Add a tomb 45 battery & grip band 👌
i still use a magic clip and a senior, have tried jrl, andis master, SC i dunno everything... but still go back to the good old ones, but i have upgraded the batery for a 3400mAh
Ye Sean it works like a beast, I feel the most diference in the magic clip seems it gets more strong, and the life battery goes up alot, can do 4 cuts without any strugle
I recently brought out my seniors again and put the fade blade on it for shits and giggles. Used it for a whole day (about 8 haircuts) and I agree with you bro. Taper blade on the senior is the way to go lol 🤷🏽♂️ I’m in the market for a new clipper and after watching some of your videos, I’m aiming towards those Gamma+ Boosted 👀
It depends , the taper blade is not better than the fade blade , they both have their uses , and you have to get used to the fade blade on a Wahl senior , you will like it better when you get used to it and know how to use it
@@briom1425 It’ll always depend on the barber’s preference. In this case, since we’re talking about Wahl, knowing which clipper you’re using is a good start to decide what kind of blade you want on it. For my preference, after many years, the Senior is my workhorse. You’ll always find at least two Seniors on my station. One, I’ll slap on Taper blade and de-bulk while fading at a faster, yet, smoother pace. And the other will have a fade blade to detail the fade if I have to. Again, my preference. 🙏🏽
The OG Senior is a dawg!! I have the babyliss taper blade on mine and it’s a monster! I tried it with the fusion blade and it wasn’t for me. Great video, Sean 🔥💯
I just put on a black replacement switch and lever on my seniors! They look great with the black now. Cause I agree, the tan colored switch and lever doesn’t make sense on these.
Nice video The seniors are a great clipper for sure.Being old school using corded Pro tapers for 40 years ,borrowed a friend's magic clip. Nice loved it ,no lead wow,so bought the seniors and could be more please ,choices were Andis, Gamo,kiepe ,but stuck with Wahl. Heavy use the blades get hot.The ceramic blade I presume helps to keep cool. Big market now of what to buy,to much choice. Think I will buy the more powerful battery. Great channel thanks.r
Always gotta keep a fusion blade on deck just incase. The seniors will forever be my #2 clipper. I wish Wahl would step up there game and actually put upgrades in the senior and magic clip. Me personally I love the weight of it and there not as loud as my rebels.
opinions will vary, but after decades of trusting my reliable wahl clipers, & after a few years of being extremely disappointed with the "shiny new hotness" ...my decision is an easy one... ill take my trusty wahl seniors over the "bling & flash trash" that we all know is just gonna fall apart & get loud & rattle ...& in all fairness i will admit to making a few changes to my go-to favorites, my metal anniversary 1919 wahl seniors, they have been modified with the magics staggertooth cutting blade & a taper fixed blade & a tomb45 battery... that combination, for me personally, is hard to beat! ...& eventhough i tease a perticular company for being more concerned about rebranding generic garbage in shiny colors & tryin to pass them off as "professional" more so than making an actual "quality" product, i do wholeheartedly agree that whoever designed the standard issue seniors musta been "color-blind" (haha) ...always enjoy watchin ur haircuts & ur reviews, thank u sir
please do a review on wall designers, wired or wireless. i personally have the wires but i would love to see a review and a nice cut from it. ik it a old clipper but since i’ve had em there no bad but would like to see a professionals pro and cons or opinion on it. thanks and appreciate it man 🙏🏽
In my opinion that stylecraft fusion blade is a fade blade. I totally agree with you on fade blades, I don’t use them at all and I immediately swoop them out for a taper blade.
Something that keeps me a little skeptical about trying a rebel for example is that I want to see how they hold up over time cause the plastic on the ergos and JRL 2020 is very low quality, but a clipper that I am definitely trying in the next couple of months is the SC Mythic
I was thinking about getting a wahl senior as my second set of clippers since I already have the magic clip. Do you recommend buying the corded version or this cord/cordless version? I’d use them for debulking and clipper over comb.
Only problem is battery life, u keep 2 on ur station one charging and it’s the best duo u can have . I’ve tried just about every clipper. None have the power or fading ability.
Great video bro im becoming a barber in mexico i was living in houston and now currently living in mexico and the clipper im copping is the senior cordless
Hi, i have the wahl seniors, with standard STD blade (stagger tooth) i actually like it, i use it for self cut, what if i put the fusion blade on? Do i have to change the small blade also ? And does it fit
Im not a "barber" but I do alot of mens cuts. I am also being asked to fade out more of my cuts. What is the difference between a taper blade and a fade blade?
Fade blade is thinner and cuts shorter. Used more for bald fades and skin lines. Taper blade has a bevel on it that makes it thicker. More room for error and cuts a little longer, usually won’t take the bald line out
I have a senior I used it from out of the box but I find when I fade with them. I have to work harder to get a nice fade and when I'm finished with the cut I think I could of done better.
I pretty much have all gamma/SC set up and then a pair of magic clips. I have the faper blade on my alphas but they are loud and only really use them for de-bulking. I just got the boosted but do u feel the faper blade even makes a difference with gaurds?
@@Seancutshair I get it. It's all about preference really. I personally don't like the faper blade but most RUclips barbers love it. The problem is when I see/hear a RUclips barber basically say taper blades are for newer/rookie barbers that gets to me a little bit. I mean I use both but for different tasks and it makes my cuts come out better and faster.
@@Seancutshair I know you understand because you're like the only one on YT still using the slimlines...but I know some in real life that swear by them.
I have a fusion blade on one of my seniors. It's a smoooth mix with the motor speed of that clipper and that blade. 👍🏼 Absolute must-try brother you'll definitely dig it 💲
@@sense321 I use the fusion stationary. 👍🏼 You can change cutting blades if you want I have one with the stagger tooth and one with the regular cutter. Stagger just gives a softer blend especially in a lower speed motor. Give it a shot 👍🏼
Have you used the Staggered blade that comes on the old Magic Clipper? Or What about the Crunch Blade? The staggered is supposed to be easier to blend/remove hard lines but not sure if it's easier than the taper blade...fusion sounds like it might be similar to the staggered?
Let me say something abut these damn clippers...THESE MIGHT BE THE MOST UNDERRATED GOAT CLIPPERS!!! YEA I SAID IT. I cut my own hair this weekend, using the Rebel and JRLs (with a gamma blade). Didnt like the look of my fade. The guidelines were still there, tried way too hard to get them out. I said screw it, and i went to my seniors, which i didnt think were that good or at least a little overrated. Boy, when i tell you i was able to get those lines out and get the blur for a bald fade....sheesh. Its like me and my seniors had a moment saying "thats how you use them!!!" I love the seniors. Its a cheat code. Will continue using the Rebels and JRLs (underrated fade clipper). But the seniors are dumb good. salute
@@Seancutshair sorry one last question. Do you use different guards on your booster? The guards that came with my rebel are cool but not the biggest fan. Do you have different guards to recommend?
Senior and Magic Clip still have my vote. A cheap plastic Chinese made color lid is a gimmick I can go without. I would like to see wahl add steps to the lever for more precision but not a game change feature,
ok quick question. i just started to cut myself amd my friends hair and I have the senior with the normal fade blade I guess. which blade should I put on now? is it possible to get a link? and should I zero gap it then amd my SC evo trimmer?
Only been barbering since November, got the senior for myself as my first none barber school clippers (got the super tapper from the college) and I'm loving the seniors, the bulk work it does is just clean !
Is the fusion blade universal or is there a specific number need to get for the seniors ? And for tapers blade which one would be easier to fade with fusion or taper?
I would love to see a senior or magic clip with a faper blade reviewed. Also a Jrl 2020c with a faper blade reviewed. Those will be really informative videos.
Can u make the video with fusion blade? Mods and all. I’m a diy. Don’t wanna spend a ton of money on new clippers. I own Wahl seniors cordless and oster fast feed. For some reason I just can’t get a decent fade with the fast feed and yes i have purple guard for them. For trimmer I have Andis t out liner which i love but just recent picked up slim line for $25. Blades are different haven’t used it yet but I’m ready to try them out.
I ordered a new one. Straight out the box I saw that the blade was scratchy. And also felt oily when touched it. Is this normal? Please let me know. Im confused maybe they sent me a repaired one...
I put my babyliss moving and still blade on a new pair of magics and I love it. I haven’t used Whal for like a year because I’m the type to try new things and I recently was using my JRL’s 2020 as my main hitter. Safe to say my magics are my hitters now even though the motor isn’t as strong as the many other clippers I’ve used
My style craft instinct clipper just shat out on me after not even 6 months of use. I put the blade from the style craft on my seniors that I’ve been using almost 5 years. Had them since school. Yeah I’ll stick with my senior/master duo and just use style crafts blades.
@@Seancutshairyeah I was in my local barber supply and they informed me. I’m not so mad at them any more, I have a manufacturing background as I was a machinist before. Some things are forgivable. It’s like they put a big block on a small car now it’s breaking motor mounts. Not mad at them for giving us that 😅
I modified my senior with legend bracket blade slide. And taper blade. Not zero gap and tomb45 eco. battery. rpm better then stock and has two hours of run time. With the legend bracket blade slide. And a taper blade not zero gap you can do a blurry fade and faster fading
How come ur Amazon doesn't work trying to find another clipper I am a beginner barber I wanna start out with taper blade any suggestions? I have Wahl seniors already
Non sono un barber, ma a volte provo a farmi i capelli da solo in casa. Da quando seguo video di barber professionisti, la clipper wahl senior è la clipper che secondo me sfuma meglio i capelli. È veramente eccellente. Voi che siete esperti,da cosa dipende che altre clipper non sfumano così bene come la senior?

No matter what happens in the bartering industry I will never get rid of my senior! Current setup, ceramic blade with a fusion blade! 🔥
Sounds nice 💪🏻
ceramic stagger or regular?
Where can i find a fusion blade and a ceramic blade? Or the taper blade?
I have the same on my Wahl senior and my god does it slide but I got the Babyliss fade blade on it works better for fades
What about the magic clip

That’s a nice setup. And yeah just gotta get used to the weight
Do you see a big diffence between the senior and the gamma boosted?
@@dude7124 ye ofc, senior is like prehistoric tool compared to gamma boosted tbh, all tools by wahl are way behind competition except new hi viz trimmer ;]
I put a fusion blade on every adjustable clipper that I have. It Improves the performance on every clipper.
I agree I only have it on my Cordless Senior I absolutely love it still takes out the bald guideline no matter how hard I put it in and still gives a blurry fade
I do the same exact thing. I have one of my 5 clippers with a fade blade just to have one different. I love the fusion blade it’s 🔥🔥
What is fusion blade? I wanna buy one for my seniors
The standard blade on the boosted isn't the best, so I've ordered the fusion blade as you guys have recommended
@@EFBeats- a blade by gamma and style craft. Basically a fade and taper blade mixed into one. It’s called the faper blade now
Wahl, in general, will always be relevant. I’ve hopped off the rebranded Chinese product bandwagon, and, as of late, have been using the corded Oster Fast Feed and the cordless Wahl Legends. The Legends are amazing. Mad that I slept on them for so long.

They are a staple regardless of the race lol tf

What’s a great clipper to invest in? Just overall good for taper, fades etc?
The fact you had to get another one rushed over to you says it all 😂 would have been funny if the video just ended when you said that 😂

@@Seancutshair Thanks!
Love the video !!! Also Where did you get your small clip on mic from? An what is it called ?
It’s a DJI dual mic kit
Have you used the Staggered blade that comes on the old Magic Clipper? Or What about the Crunch Blade? The staggered is supposed to be easier to blend/remove hard lines but not sure if it's easier than the taper blade...fusion sounds like it might be similar to the staggered?
Never noticed any significance to any of those different blades
i want to see it with the fusion blade..on magic clip maroon too
👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
The senior one if the greatest clippers ever made this made . My corded senior made me put down my master and retire it.
Let me say something abut these damn clippers...THESE MIGHT BE THE MOST UNDERRATED GOAT CLIPPERS!!! YEA I SAID IT. I cut my own hair this weekend, using the Rebel and JRLs (with a gamma blade). Didnt like the look of my fade. The guidelines were still there, tried way too hard to get them out. I said screw it, and i went to my seniors, which i didnt think were that good or at least a little overrated. Boy, when i tell you i was able to get those lines out and get the blur for a bald fade....sheesh. Its like me and my seniors had a moment saying "thats how you use them!!!" I love the seniors. Its a cheat code. Will continue using the Rebels and JRLs (underrated fade clipper). But the seniors are dumb good. salute
They’re definitely one of the goats but I sure like my boosted these days
@@Seancutshair sorry one last question. Do you use different guards on your booster? The guards that came with my rebel are cool but not the biggest fan. Do you have different guards to recommend?
On top of the Fusion blade, you should pop on the Wedge blade from the Legends and review that combo!
Interesting never thought about it
Senior and Magic Clip still have my vote. A cheap plastic Chinese made color lid is a gimmick I can go without. I would like to see wahl add steps to the lever for more precision but not a game change feature,
They are still good clippers for sure
ok quick question. i just started to cut myself amd my friends hair and I have the senior with the normal fade blade I guess. which blade should I put on now? is it possible to get a link? and should I zero gap it then amd my SC evo trimmer?
Wahl 1006 taper blade just google it. And you can zero gap if that’s your preference
Only been barbering since November, got the senior for myself as my first none barber school clippers (got the super tapper from the college) and I'm loving the seniors, the bulk work it does is just clean !
Nice 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
Can you put a link in the description for the Taper Blade please ?
Is the fusion blade universal or is there a specific number need to get for the seniors ? And for tapers blade which one would be easier to fade with fusion or taper?
Taper cuts a little longer and softer. All blades from Wahl, Babyliss, gamma, tpob, jrl all fit interchangeably
I just got a metal Senior and I love it. Should you zero gap the standard blade that it comes with?
Metal Senior is a beast. I put a ceramic cutting blade with the gold Wahl fade blade….
That’s up to you. I don’t zero mine just set them to have a good balance between open and closed
I would love to see a senior or magic clip with a faper blade reviewed. Also a Jrl 2020c with a faper blade reviewed. Those will be really informative videos.
Cut with the fade blade and immediately took it off cause it was awful 😂 there’s your review
@@Seancutshair He talk about faper blade and not about fade blade
That Stylecraft is the best so far,senior starts up good and powerful,and after few months felt sluggish? What you all think?
Haven’t had that problem with my seniors. I have a few pairs. Try putting a tomb 45 battery in there
@@jasonmercurio1928 I’ll consider that battery swap,do the seniors feel stronger?
@@yandel11210 slightly, it gives them a little bit more life
The seniors definitely keep power longer than the magic clips. Guess we’ll see
@@Seancutshair yeah that’s true,magic clip dies out faster,senior has been better for me,senior with Stylecraft blade,works pretty damm good.
Hate fade blades smh. The senior is a classic though always gatta keep one. Still have my corded senior
Just picked up my first magic clip and decided to go with the new gold version. And my slime2 just showed up. Can't wait to try them out.
Nice! Both of those are solid
Would you choose this over the Babyliss FX boost for cutting my own hair?
Definitely not
@@Seancutshair Why
If u had to pick senior or new gold magic clip what would u pick
Magic clip honestly
@@Seancutshair this is scam the guy below
@@eirebarbers he knows
Can u make the video with fusion blade? Mods and all. I’m a diy. Don’t wanna spend a ton of money on new clippers. I own Wahl seniors cordless and oster fast feed. For some reason I just can’t get a decent fade with the fast feed and yes i have purple guard for them. For trimmer I have Andis t out liner which i love but just recent picked up slim line for $25. Blades are different haven’t used it yet but I’m ready to try them out.
I have a video with the stretch bracket and fusion blade 👌🏻
@@Seancutshair I will look for it. Thanks
I ordered a new one. Straight out the box I saw that the blade was scratchy. And also felt oily when touched it. Is this normal? Please let me know. Im confused maybe they sent me a repaired one...
Oily yes scratched up no. I’m not sure what that is
I put my babyliss moving and still blade on a new pair of magics and I love it. I haven’t used Whal for like a year because I’m the type to try new things and I recently was using my JRL’s 2020 as my main hitter. Safe to say my magics are my hitters now even though the motor isn’t as strong as the many other clippers I’ve used
Nice 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
You could swap the motor to a boosted motor and slap a tomb 45 battery upgrade
Question how often do you change the blades on your clippers,trimmers and shavers?
Not often. Most the time the battery and motor starts feeling sluggish before the blades are bad
@@Seancutshair thank you!! Wasn’t sure about if it was the blades or the clipper
What about the replica Wahl senior from Aliexpress? Are they any good for cutting my own hair?
Haven’t used them but they’re probably alright
My style craft instinct clipper just shat out on me after not even 6 months of use. I put the blade from the style craft on my seniors that I’ve been using almost 5 years. Had them since school. Yeah I’ll stick with my senior/master duo and just use style crafts blades.
The first instincts vibrated so much something comes loose on the motherboard. They’ve fixed the problem now but probably what happened to yours
@@Seancutshairyeah I was in my local barber supply and they informed me. I’m not so mad at them any more, I have a manufacturing background as I was a machinist before. Some things are forgivable. It’s like they put a big block on a small car now it’s breaking motor mounts. Not mad at them for giving us that 😅
Yes throw the fusion on it’ll change the game trust
I believe it
You gotta change the cam follower too? Of jus the blades
Can the senior fit into the magic clip charging dock?
I modified my senior with legend bracket blade slide. And taper blade. Not zero gap and tomb45 eco. battery. rpm better then stock and has two hours of run time. With the legend bracket blade slide. And a taper blade not zero gap you can do a blurry fade and faster fading
Nice 👍🏻
What do you not like about the fade blade?
Cuts too harsh and grabs and pulls sometimes
How come ur Amazon doesn't work trying to find another clipper I am a beginner barber I wanna start out with taper blade any suggestions? I have Wahl seniors already
What model number fade blade are you running on these seniors?
Wahl 1006
What do you think of which is better ( wahl magic clip)or (Wahl senior)
Senior is better but heavier
Non sono un barber, ma a volte provo a farmi i capelli da solo in casa. Da quando seguo video di barber professionisti, la clipper wahl senior è la clipper che secondo me sfuma meglio i capelli. È veramente eccellente. Voi che siete esperti,da cosa dipende che altre clipper non sfumano così bene come la senior?
It’s just old reliable. A lot of newer clippers seem good at first but don’t last like the senior
Hi, which blade can improve the wahl magic clip? Also which guides?
I always use the Wahl 1006 taper blade and Wahl premium guards
@@Seancutshair thank you! Are there premium guides that are suitable for all machines?
do you have links for good wahl 1006 and premium guards ? thanks!@@Seancutshair
Will a fusion/taper blade fit on this without a stretch bracket?
Yes
