We appreciate the honest feedback! It's hard to go from the Seniors to the Legends as you mentioned. Interesting insight on the colored guards not working as well with this unit. We will look into it further.
Ricardo The Barber Before you get rid of the Legends, I've been hearing Barber switching the Crunch blade to their seniors. Hear but good things on wanna know your opinion since your very critical on review. Thanks
MSotelo503 Because of you i did so. If you change just the blade its no different except for the crunch sound the blade is patented for. You will not get the extended range of the lever. If you change the lever too you get both sound and better extension of the blade. Only reason to change the lever too is to get the extended feel of the longer teeth on the blade and metal housing of the 5 star senior. I chose to just change the blade because i dont like the cheesy lever feel. Good match either way. Maybe ill do a video.Thanks for the recommendation
Ricardo The Barber Thanks I read on a review online about it so figured since you got both why not. Maybe do a cut? I'm looking forward to your vid since you really break down.
Well I'm no expert but just from jumping from video to video I gathered the following. The Legend has staggered teeth (which explains the hair crunch bullshit technology) so if you try zero it and match it to those other guards, I can see why it didn't work so well. Another person was suggesting when he zero'ed his he dropped the left side lower? Apparently when you turn them on one side raises up slightly. Well there you go hopefully this helps somebody, anyways back to hunting for a hair clipper...
We sent the legend back as it was noisy and a little heavier than our Wahl Magic cordless. We reordered another Magic that has been upgraded with maroon sparkle finish, nice and light weight, beautiful cut. A senior sounds like a promising choice along with the Magic, would not mind taking a look at the anniversary that is all aluminium.
Hello, i am working a Wahl corded super taper for about 3 years.Yesterday i received the Wahl cordless magic clip and i can see that is better for fade Haircut!!I want to change the Super Taper now, wich corded Wahl machine is near to cordless Magic clip you beleive?Five star Legend, Wahl Balding Hair Clipper , magic clip or other model??Thank you very much!
I like how the metal blade extends more than the senior but the housing itself is very fragile on the legend I ended up putting duct tape around it. the heat of the Legend itself was cracking the housing that has never happened to me with the senior
I bought a wedge blade and a legend lever o got from wahl and put them on my sterling reflections. I think they are beast. Also I recently put a detachable cutting teeth on my fast feed and they are basically my new oster wahl seniors super nice blends with them.
Im using a forfex blade that fits the fast feed with a oster cutting blade. It fades smoother then any ceramic teeth the ceramic cutting teeth gives problems trying to blend out that half line. The reg detachable cutting teeth allows it to zero gap perfect and erase the half line no problem with the zero gaurd
babyboy505018 I have the forfex babyliss pro clipper just like the fast feeds and a 1A andis ceramic cutter on it, it's zero gap as well, no problem remove guidelines out. Probably the same size cutter as you have, detachable blades changes sizes in cutter blade as they go up.
Antonio Carnevale, yes, why? because the wedge blade have a deeper teeth, you can just use the same bracket from the senior. All you need to do is just file down the control lever gap on the moving bracket. Walh are universal clippers. you can almost modify any walh clipper. Don't throw away any damage clipper, you might need the parts for a replacement.
Five star trimmers or clippers remove hair more effectively so the five star seniors might be the best the wahl legend has an extended lever that some people might be interested it allows you to clean up tapers and fades much easier I like like the wahl legend the best
Would you say the Wahl magic clip and the Wahl Legends are similar if so what do you think the differences are will they do the same job which one do you think is better?
The Wahl Legends have a crunch blade and an extended lever so they open up to a 1, similar to an Andis Master. Once u get used to these clippers they are awesome. I use them over any other Wahls...they are powerful as seniors, but the plastic case keeps them cooler. I NEVER had these heat up on me, and with the crunch blade, I can hear every single hair the blade is cutting. This is extremely important when doing tight fades. I don't have issues with it eating up guards, b.c. i turn them off when ever taking a guard on/off. highly recomend these over magic clip. i have used both, magic clip are more cheaply made in my opinion and the lever on magic clip gets loose and u have to tighten it back up. Happened to 2 other barbers in my shop as well. Hope this helps if you are still on the fence.
Jose Torres I heard it was but im sure your only benefit will be the sound. You will not benefit from the deeper teeth since the lever stays the same on the senior.
Jose Torres If he want a #2 go with the grain on a black client, if its straight hair go against the grain, but make sure to use the proper guard so it will be a #2 on top
hi ricardo i got a question for you. doest the housing from a wahl icon fit the super taper/chrome. its getting hot and i want to change it. i found 1 on ebay. pls let me know if you have some time. tnx0
i cant decide between the wahl legend/hero combo for my haIR and beard or if i should get the magic clip with the andis outliner. I rather get the combo to save money, but do you think the legend/hero combo is good ? or are the magic clips much better?
Hi friend, when i open the video i seen an object where are positioned your clippers, it's possible to find it online or is it build by yourself? thanks a lot
if u learning how to taper ur own head do u prefer using a taper blade on them or jus sticking with the crunch blade.... if u need a taper blade which one u recommend
@ricardothebarber hey man what do u recommend for a beginner in the game. i want a wahl clipper but doubting between the legend or super taper. could u help me ? im mostlt practesing on my fades.
***** In my opinion the five star fade blade is the best blade wahl has, don't get me wrong the crunch blade is good as well but the fade blade gives more of a cleaner detailed cut and smoother blends and that blade is a bit thinner than the crunch blade.
The senior has a designer blade that is like a masters blade compared to a regular fade blade the seniors Come with , which is the same thickness as the legend blade But not as deep. Is it just me or does that statement make almost no sense lol Also the legend has a crunch blade unlike the seniors and I think it’s a difference crunch than the magic?
The seniors blade was swapped out for a designer blade. The designer blade cuts like the masters and has the same thickness to it blade wise in comparison to the standard fade blade the seniors come stock with. That stock blade is pretty much the same blade on the legends in the video.
Ah okay I understand now. I had forgotten wahl had a clipper named designer . Interesting I was actually looking at the legend because I thought it would be the closest to the blade on the masters. But the masters has a taper blade look to it . I also considered the super taper blade . Idk if that also would be closer to the masters. Frankly I like the idea of a taper blade with a longer throw and then also putting either the wedge blade or magic clip staggered tooth blade . Iv been trying to figure out how to do that combo. I decided corded is fine with me aswell for that stronger motor. I also know there is a mod sold to be able to use andis blades on wahls so idk. Trying to piece it all together
I don't have to buy the clipper but I did bought the blade and replaced with the one on the senior. The reason I did that because the senior carry 12watt and the legend carry only 11watt and that is the difference.
Ricardo The Barber I need a machine that, my dream is to have cutting finishing machines I have a small lounge that opened in my hair cut garage have my machine but it is already old and the blade is already blind take a long time to finish cutting the customer sometimes ends up not coming back because of the delay I have no conditions to buy another here in Brazil it is very expensive.
Hello Rico. Thanks for your videos they are very helpful. My question does not pertain to this particular video but do you have any insight on the wahl elite. Ive herd the are well built but before I buy them I wanted to see what you think about them in comparison to the seniors or legends. Thanks for any advice u can give me on this
Joseph Ventrice They will not compare at all. They are a home cutting clipper and will not hold up to commercial use like the pro wahl brands.Legends are def better and the seniors are levels above both. I would def say get the seniors. You can always settle for the legends but i would not recommend getting the elites.
good video man, can you help me out with 2 quick questions what clipper for fading would you recommend between andis master or the wahl seniors? and also for edging up n lines the andis T or the wahl detailers?
Hello congratulations for your videos , I would want to know which clipper is the best to make a " bald fade haircut " I have a choice enter Wahl magic clip or Wahl legend who is the best ? Knowing that I begin has to cut with a wahl detailler "0 grap" Thanks for your videos , sorry for my spelling i'm french. Translate with google lol
Great video, nice honest review. Ricardo, what clippers would you recommend for a barber who is struggling with his fades? Someone who is half experienced but hasn’t mastered his fades yet.
hello.i have the icon and i buy and the legend and i think its a little bit noise compare to icon...i take for example the icon because has the v9000 moter to...you notice something about the sound of legent compare with a similar other motor v9000 wahl? thanks!
The lever in my legends is loose and doesn't hold well unless I hold it with my thumb. any suggestions, or know how to tighten it like you can do on the Andis masters?
+jermthe01 No this happens when the lever gets older. Maybe you can spray the lever where the screw is so the screw doesnt turn with the lever. IF it doesnt work you might need a new lever for them
Hey man! Really love how extremely detailed and informative your videos are! 😃 I hope I'm not troubling you but, what screws did you use for your Seniors with the Designer Blade? 🙊 Cause I'm trying to get my designer blade onto my 5-Star Senior but I've changed the "blade holder" to a regular Super Taper one instead, and I can't find the right size for the middle screw.
ancin916 lol no but I do know real deal because I do all the videos for homegrown battleground here in ct. He's battled here a few times and I'm in charge of the production
Ya im in CT ive done like over 100 vids for the battle league here in ct which is growing crazy. Its cool cuz i recorded and blended up cortez vs johnny storm. Def some cool dudes.

A senior sounds like a promising choice along with the Magic, would not mind taking a look at the anniversary that is all aluminium.
In the UK the Wahl Legend comes with 10 Premium Cutting Guards including 1/2 &1 1/2
would it be a smart idea to but the legend blade on the 5 star clipper?
Hello, i am working a Wahl corded super taper for about 3 years.Yesterday i received the Wahl cordless magic clip and i can see that is better for fade Haircut!!I want to change the Super Taper now, wich corded Wahl machine is near to cordless Magic clip you beleive?Five star Legend, Wahl Balding Hair Clipper , magic clip or other model??Thank you very much!
is the senior bottom body metal?
Yes it is
Hi
Can I put senior blades on the legend???
What's the difference between seniors and the icons? Are they much different??
Ronny asflec Just the housing plastic vs metal
Is this better than magic clip corded?
Pretty much the same.
@@kikado3 since the legend have longer lever, is IT easier to do skinfade?
I like how the metal blade extends more than the senior but the housing itself is very fragile on the legend I ended up putting duct tape around it. the heat of the Legend itself was cracking the housing that has never happened to me with the senior
Can I put that blade on wahl senior ?
@ricardo the barber can u make a video zero gapping the Wahl senior with the designer blade ?
I would but this is not different of a zero gap than with any other blade you choose.
I bought a wedge blade and a legend lever o got from wahl and put them on my sterling reflections. I think they are beast. Also I recently put a detachable cutting teeth on my fast feed and they are basically my new oster wahl seniors super nice blends with them.
Did the same with my fast feeds.. blends are much cleaner..👌👌👌
babyboy505018 Did you put the regular blade or the fade blade on your fast feed that gave you the nice blends?
I did the same, andis ceramic cutter on mine. I also have a second pair with the factory blade, the ceramic cutter gives smoother blends.
Im using a forfex blade that fits the fast feed with a oster cutting blade. It fades smoother then any ceramic teeth the ceramic cutting teeth gives problems trying to blend out that half line. The reg detachable cutting teeth allows it to zero gap perfect and erase the half line no problem with the zero gaurd

Hi, i would put the wedge blade on my wahl 5 star senior, i need to change the silver slider also? thanks
+Antonio Carnevale nope it takes the wedge blade no problem if I remember correctly because I have the wedge on the 5stars too
Antonio Carnevale, yes, why? because the wedge blade have a deeper teeth, you can just use the same bracket from the senior. All you need to do is just file down the control lever gap on the moving bracket. Walh are universal clippers. you can almost modify any walh clipper. Don't throw away any damage clipper, you might need the parts for a replacement.
Thanks Ty, you can tell me where i can find the silver slider on the web? thanks in advice ;)
I'm a bit lost, which clippers replaced the wahl 5 star senior? the legends...
nope from what im aware nothing has replaced the seniors, the legends replace the wahl icon
Out of all the Wahl's, which one is the best between the 5-Star Senior,
Regular Senior, Icon, Magic Clip, Designer, Sterling Reflections?
Five star trimmers or clippers remove hair more effectively so the five star seniors might be the best the wahl legend has an extended lever that some people might be interested it allows you to clean up tapers and fades much easier I like like the wahl legend the best
Whats the best all around clippers? I'm thinking 5 star seniors or andis for low cut fades and tapers
senior, legend o magic clip cordless? cual es mejor
Can u do a video where u fade or taper with speed o guards?
JzawitaJ yes please. id like to see that as well
Would you say the Wahl magic clip and the Wahl Legends are similar if so what do you think the differences are will they do the same job which one do you think is better?
+DJ Takin' It Back very similar. Legends have more power because their corded and have the extended lever. They are a bit better
Ricardo The Barber I have the corded magic clip. Is that one just as powerful as the legend as apposed to the cordless magic clip?
Yes basically the same.

+LoMane Thanks Lo
Ricardo can recommend a good website to purchase some clippers please
At a decent price...thanks
Is there anyway you can get the long arm throw on the seniors. And also can you get the long throw on the cordless magic clip
Just don't set the blades as close and you'll get a longer throw
Good afternoon! Can you recommend me any link page that makes shipments to Argentina ? Thanks!
What is the best fading clipper?
Hey bud check this out is it a good idea to use that crunch blade on a wahl senior clipper with a 2 hole slider the regular wahl senior?...that is...
Jose Torres I heard it was but im sure your only benefit will be the sound. You will not benefit from the deeper teeth since the lever stays the same on the senior.
Okay thanks....
Jose Torres It will throw out longer than the other wahl blades but not a full one like the legends
I have a client that has wavy hair he gets a 2 on top and taper my? Is is a good idea to against the grain or with the grain..
Jose Torres If he want a #2 go with the grain on a black client, if its straight hair go against the grain, but make sure to use the proper guard so it will be a #2 on top
hi ricardo i got a question for you.
doest the housing from a wahl icon fit the super taper/chrome. its getting hot and i want to change it. i found 1 on ebay. pls let me know if you have some time. tnx0
is wahl legend heat?
Ricardo do you like using the designer blade on the seniors better then the fade blade? If so why?
i cant decide between the wahl legend/hero combo for my haIR and beard or if i should get the magic clip with the andis outliner. I rather get the combo to save money, but do you think the legend/hero combo is good ? or are the magic clips much better?

Any blades fine.
@ricardothebarber hey man what do u recommend for a beginner in the game. i want a wahl clipper but doubting between the legend or super taper. could u help me ? im mostlt practesing on my fades.
Sep vr you can get a wahl essental combo for about 40$ its got the wahl taper 2000 and an ac trimmer
What do you think magic clip or legend??
Legend
How come the Legend over the Magic Clip ? When the magic Clip is the same thing as the Senior .
because i dont like the blade the magic clip comes with. Plus its all plastic too.
plus its nice to hear the hair coming off with the legend
***** In my opinion the five star fade blade is the best blade wahl has, don't get me wrong the crunch blade is good as well but the fade blade gives more of a cleaner detailed cut and smoother blends and that blade is a bit thinner than the crunch blade.

Andis improved masters are better

I have a small lounge that opened in my hair cut garage have my machine but it is already old and the blade is already blind take a long time to finish cutting the customer sometimes ends up not coming back because of the delay I have no conditions to buy another here in Brazil it is very expensive.
what is zero gapping
Adjusting the clipper blade to cut closer
Friend, is which your personal opinion of andis 01557 with regard to wahl? Thank you, I wait for your response.
A7 Digital 01557 is the best there is. That is my opinion
Thank you friend, which happens is that I am going to emigrate of wahl to andis 01557 and it wanted to know your opinion.
You shouldve tried putting that thicker blade from the designers on the legends, thats what i did and they cut pretty good
Hey Ricardo. Could you give me your opinion on the Wahl Designer corded??
I love your videos really grasping your teachings. Thanks for that.
Can you do a taper tutorial with the wahl legends?

Which clipper would you recommend to buy? I was looking into buying the wahl senior, what other clipper would you recommend that beats the senior?
I like the cordless masters way better. Thats just my opinion. Also if you got a fast feed with a ceramic bottom blade that probably beats everything
Do you still use the 1 1/2 guard with the legends? Since it says it can open to a 1?
yes always
+Ricardo The Barber oh alright thanks
Need to bring out those masters in your next video! Nice review
Great video, nice honest review. Ricardo, what clippers would you recommend for a barber who is struggling with his fades? Someone who is half experienced but hasn’t mastered his fades yet.
honestly if your senior is 0 gapped I wouldn't 0 gap the legends...I have both and the blending is better with the legend ...just my opinion
Thanks for the review. By the way, do you cut your own hair? Could use a video on self-cut tips!
es normal que la carcasa de donde trae legen. se mueva

+Danish Qaiser Lim I only used the side screws which had larger heads and i didnt change the blade holder
All you have to do to get the 5 guard is throw on a 4 guard with the adjuster all the way open. Theres your 5 guard right there...
+DJ Takin' It Back True its pretty much the same. Although a 5 guard being included would of been better. You are right tho.
DJ Takin' It Back is that true or is it a 4 1/2?? thx
What about if the legend is 0 gapped tho?
This helped it so much
That's dope brother I remember that battle Cortez vs Real deal n real deal slaughtered him lol
Cool
Is that real deal in the video? Lol maybe I'm trippin but dude in the video looks like Real Deal a freestyle battle rapper
ancin916 lol no but I do know real deal because I do all the videos for homegrown battleground here in ct. He's battled here a few times and I'm in charge of the production
That's wassup he kinda looked like him to me lol and that's so random that I said that n u know him...do u live in Pittsburgh
Oh CT
Ya im in CT ive done like over 100 vids for the battle league here in ct which is growing crazy. Its cool cuz i recorded and blended up cortez vs johnny storm. Def some cool dudes.
Not a fan of the legends at all gave them away..

if tour cutting hair and you need those guards, y shouldn't be cutting hair
