Alsmillions: My Clipper Game Is No Game! Part 2

[LILMOshow]

Yo i had the same idea as you and i went out and bought a Fade Master blade for my OG Andis Master. The problem is that the blade wouldnt fit. i dont know if im trippin or whether the screws are too short. How'd you get yours to fit?

[ninotexas]

wats bettr the 5 star detailer or the 5 star razor edger - ?

[BlackBNimble]

Al, is barbering/styling a young man's game? I've been looking to joining this profession for years but have been prevented from doing so. I'm 38 and finally able to pursue this passion. Do you think that's to old to start out in this profession?

[alsmillions]

@BlackBNimble It's never too late if your heart is in it. Go for it!

[youontwantnonnadis]

@alsmillions Hey man, I get those black bumps on the back of my neck. I've had this problem for years and cant get rid of them. I know you're not a dermatologist but I need some help. I use bump patrol when I shave my face with razors and it works fine. I've been thinking of buying your product (Bump killer?) I'm just tired of seeing these black bumps on the back of my neck. I DO NOT ever shave over bumps. For some reason, I cant get those black bumps to go away.

[alsmillions]

@youontwantnonnadis  Bump Killer will remove them. No problem.

[alsmillions]

@youontwantnonnadis I answered your question.

[youontwantnonnadis]

@alsmillions You did? Oh i must have commented on another video. So try the bump killer?

[SDoTT07]

Yo Al, Would you recommend a good blade for Fading, on the Andis Master? Or is the Fade Blade the obvious better choice?

[tjbarbershop]

they have 0 thru 6 now up to the 1 inch blade

[asjs06]

thanks man for all the game you just put me up on,, im new to this i just started cuttin other people heads and i do a ok job i just be scared im gone miss up, so i cut consertive,, but i do a great job on my self every time .. i have two t eadgers and osters 76 ,, how would i do a bald fade with some 76's , i no u make ur circle around the head with ur 3 out ,, but then wat do u use ? ur Oa ? and just fade althe way till u get to wat u used on top?

[The7legacy]

Great video.

You know your stuff. Major Props.

[illestofdemall13]

its not called oyster its Oster

[tattoogoddess85]

Damn they do not teach us girls any of this in school. They are like here is a clipper and a neck trimmer. Have at it.

[Crabbapplekid]

If i have a razor bump problem from shaving with a razor and i wanted to start using a trimmer, which one would you suggest i use?

[Frsko]

Thanks for the prompt reply! I just stop using the Balding clipper cause it would pull bad. It's too bad because it's a really good clipper that can bald heads fast. Thanks again!

[Frsko]

Hey Al..I have problems with my Wahl Balding Clipper. It pulls some of my clients skin! Have you ever had that problem? Do you know how I can prevent it from happening?

[alsmillions]

@Frsko Make sure there's no overlap, but you will find that you can't use Balding clippers on all clients especially those with fatty or soft skin. Use your regular clippers and then use your outliner to clean it up.

[River6plate]

Where did you get the purple guards?

[RockysBarbershop]

Very nice set of clippers!!! I personally think the best clippers are Oster Fast Feed, Oster 76 Classic, Wahl Taper 2000 and the Andis T-Liner

[StanleyRC1]

Hey Al, I see that you like to try different clippers/trimmers to find the best results, well I have a recommendation for you. Oster Art-Tech Super Trimmer! It takes the Andis T-outliner/Outliner2 blade and doesn't get any where near as warm as the andis trimmer and has more power! You'll love them if you try them with the Andis blade! AMAZON!

[dandresimonton1]

this is the best advice ever

[Naturalnubiansister9]

Hi Al, Great Video's Brother. I shave an shape up my own hair as well as my husbands and use the Wahl taper which i got from my dad, however it doesn't give a crisp finish when shaping up so would like your opinion on what would be best for me to use as i have been wanting to get the wahl balding clippers (would this be good for shaping as well as shaping for a clean finish?) I live in the uk so not sure if ones you mentioned are all available in uk. Thanks

[TheChrishonda]

Thanks. I'll be purchasing the majority of the tools that you have.

[justineheartsmac]

Nice! I like all the clippers and trimmers. How did all that cost?

[realdealcsm3]

like can you use some kind of lubricant or moisten your face

[realdealcsm3]

hey al I'm a fan man I live close to DC and its hard to find a good barber in the area in which I live so I see your videos and i don't lose faith the videos you put up are informative and let people know what is really going on in the hair world especially for men........I have one question is the wahl's five star trimmer wet/dry??

[Donp1949]

Thanks for the useful information on the Wahl Balding clippers versus using trimmers for balding.

[MurdaMike2010]

Yo Al did you know you can get the magnetic andis guards in a pack that includes guards 0 through 4? I myself bought the pack that came with the 0 and the 1 from atlanta barber but yesterday I found the 0 through 4 pack on ebay.

[alsmillions]

@MurdaMike2010 Actually they go up to 8. I put the ebay link up 2 months ago on Making The Cut.

[oFROZENGOODS]

Did you adjust your wahl balding or is it on the stock setting.

[alsmillions]

@oFROZENGOODS I adjusted it with the enclosed auto adjuster.

[nexxboss]

I HAV A PAIR OF FADE MASTER WANTED IMPOVED MASTER SO ALL I HAV 2 DO IS CHANGE DO BLADE AND ADJUST IT RITE THANKZ AL

[alsmillions]

@nexxboss Right, that's all.

[audaciouslymee]

ok...I love your work, I am a barber and a cosmetologist doing maybe 3-5 fades a day along with 2-3 color services and relaxers, and some braides and weaves at my small one person salon. You have helped me more than any training ever did! Big ups for that from WA! Some of the clippers in your arsenal are really heavy for me like the wahl master,is there another lighter weight clipper that you recommend? BTW can you reognize some of the females in your audience and quit callin us fellas...lol

[ayyoitsko]

Thanks @alsmillions

[juanitog20]

Hey AL FOR EXAMPLE: IF U WANNA DO A FADE #2 on top and 0. on bottom u dont go from 0 to 1/2 to 1 to 1 and 1/2 to 2 HOW WOULD U DO IT. TRY TO MAKE A VID JUST 2 and 0 my fav LOL

[ayyoitsko]

where do you get the magnetic purple guards?

[alsmillions]

@ayyoitsko Atlanta Barber and Beauty Supply. Google it. When you get to the site, look under "guards"

[splm101]

Hey alsmillions, I currently shave with oster t-finishers but they are about 4 years old. To replace the shaver, I recently purchased a rotary shaver and now I have razor bumps. Should I go back to the t-finishers and get a dull cut or can i use one of your trimmers you mention to get a better cut for shaving?

[alsmillions]

@splm101 Yea, that rotary is cutting you too close. Do what works for you until you find something that doesn't cause you to bump.

[AndresWSM209r]

should i get the baldings or the wahl shaper shaver? help me out al

[alsmillions]

@AndresWSM209r The Balding clipper removes the hair but the shaver gets you skin close. They do 2 different jobs. Neither one can do what the other does.

[obesejim]

Can you make a video of your "clipper care routine"? Brushing, disinfecting and oiling etc.

[alsmillions]

@obesejim Already did one. Check my Channel for other vids.

[shoqer]

hey al have you ever used the andis bgrc detatchables? i have the oster 76 and couldnt find the starteq in my area. which would you prefer? trying to get away from the jetnoise of the 76 since some kids spaz out when they hear them.

[AndresWSM209r]

umm the balding are u suppose 2 adjust it or its already adjusted and do u like balding with that then balding wit the masters?

[a1rj0el]

have you ever used oster fast feeds? if so, why isnt it one of your clippers?

[AndresWSM209r]

whats the star teq for?

[alsmillions]

@AndresWSM209r I said what it's for in the video.

[xJUICEDx]

al any info on the phat master...i dont see it all that often in a barbers arsenal. thanks.

[youthambassadors]

Yo Man, the Andis pro shaver is very good at not living BUmps,!!!!! its only 37 and some change on ebay!!!!!!

God Bless you!

[GNYUSJAY]

4:26 I was like nooooo!! not the wahl tattoo. Good catch, lol.

[micreyes11]

Have you ever had any problems with the motor in your masters? I think I might have got oil in the motor... They make a really loud noise and I've pretty much tried everything... I think they're pretty much busted... And one more question: Which instructional DVD(s) would you recommend?

Thanks alot...

[alsmillions]

Never had a problem with none of my master's motors. Join my other site: Alsmakingthecut dot c. For all the videos you need. The screw on the right of the master if turned slowly will usually stop the noise.

[GARB82]

Hey brother, nice video. I see you got those magnetic guards for the Andis Master, I love em.

[CamyolaCola]

I really like to use the Wahl balding clipper but when I use it, the still blade tends to pull & bite at my clients skin. It pulled so much dat I had to take it out of my arsenal. Have u had dis problem occur to u while u've used dis instrument? If so, please send feedback on recommendations for the pulling. I really luv using that particular tool.

[alsmillions]

@CamyolaCola It needs to be adjusted. Holding the blade facing you, the inner blades right side should be flush with the top of the outter blade. The left side of the inner blade should meet the bottom of the teeth of the outter blade. I know, it's crooked, that's the way it's suppose to be. When you tighten the screws and cut it on, it will cut even. Trust me!

[CamyolaCola]

@alsmillions Already! Alsmillions I appreciate ur feedback. I hit a lick when I subcribed to ur channel. Thanks!!!

[MrBarber44]

u r a inspiration al!

[alsmillions]

Thanks brah!

[Funchal8]

How do you keep the masters adjusting bar from moving when you are cutting? It always moves on me when i am tryin to cut.

[alsmillions]

You going to have to remove the blade and tighten the tiny screws on the plate were the blade was gradually. As you tighten the screws test the arm to see if it's stiff enough. Then replace the blade.

[Funchal8]

Thanks al!

[KSIkidjok3r]

thanks for responding so quick

[KSIkidjok3r]

Does a 1/8 guard on a Andris, get your hair to a Dark Caesar length? 1.5 length

[alsmillions]

Yes it does.

[chanesworth]

Al, could you use your Andis with the Fade Blade to Bald instead of the Wahls Balding Clipper? Just wondering what the difference would be between the two. Thanks

[alsmillions]

Good question! Yea you definitely could. Some tools will double for another tool and that's definitely good too.

[Dexduzdiz]

thanks soo much

[alsmillions]

No problem brah!

[mrluton]

I like that point that you made about using trimmers for balding. I have a balding clipper myself and it works great.

[chipznikka]

WHAT A ARSENAL NICE!!!

[TraumaER]

good lesson!

[1724tulane]

thanks for the lesson

[32RyNo]

Great point Al I see many barbers ruining the life of the trimmers due to shaving the head instead of using balding clips. Let the clippers to the job they were made for.

[clawbear]

i can't shave for nothing i tried almost every shaving way..i just use Andis T-Outliner now...Btw nice clippers and trimmers.
