[jeevesanthony]

[BESTRAPTUPAC]

good video

[HYPAHSTEEL]

Just added your dvd to my Christmas list......Keep up the amazing work bro

[chowder9292]

Hey can anyone tell me wich clippers are better? the wahls seniors or the andis masters?

[AZ09astrophysicist]

whats the difference between taper and taper fade? question from AZ!!!

[ThatNiggahPaul]

@AZ09astrophysicist a taper fade, fades in the hair all the way up. An example would be if you asked for a 5, the barber is going to lower the sides of your hair, like in this video. A taper, leaves your hair all even. An example would be if you asked for a 5, the barber is going to leave the top and the sides even, and just taper your side burns and back. id prefer a low bald taper. im not sure if i explained it good though.

[MrMerk31]

Nice vid bro I already subscribed....keep them coming!!

[farazfromla]

[CARTAZEHEMINGWAY]

Good looking out Vick....great tutorial!

[lencydelgado3]

[DeanteT]

You need to have a soundtrack to all your videos, cause all the songs are legit.

[meroloc]

Homie shoulda went a lil lower on the top...taper came out fresh though

[LiTotheBarber]

@bachatuuu try the bottom part of the guard bendin it a lil bit so it can strap on right bro...y adjusted my 5star Señior and nun of them fall of...plus my regular señior r not adjusted nd dont fall off

[NewKidProductionz]

What # is the first one where he does on the top of the head?

[Nando111982]

@NewKidProductionz #7

[bachatuuu]

Hey Vick, can you tell me what Guards you use with your seniors? I have the wahl senior and recently purchased the Speed-o-Guides but i found the tripple 0s dont fit right and are very fragile and make contact with the blade. The wahl guards that came with the senior (three of them) fall off kind of easy.

[VICKTHEBARBER]

@bachatuuu THE REASON WHY YOUR WAHL GAURDS DONT FIT MIGHT BE BECAUSE U ADJUSTED YOUR CLIPPERS??? MINE ALWAYS FIT PERFECT SO THATS THE ONLY THING I CAN THINK OF

[bachatuuu]

@VICKTHEBARBER

i didnt adjust the blade. but keep in mind im referring to the cheap wahl ones that came with the clipper..it came with three guards: 1/2, 1, and 2 I believe. the #2 fits but easily falls off while cutting which i had to support it with my finger while cutting. it seems it was a common issue with the wahl guards that came with the senior. the wahl guards you use, that you say work for you, did you purchase those separately? also have you used the speed-o-guide with the senior?

[VICKTHEBARBER]

@bachatuuu YES I BOUGHT MY GAURDS SEPARATE BUT I USE THE ONES THAT CAME WITH ALSO N THEY ALWAYS WORK THE SAME

[Troopzdedon]

is it just me or do the wahl and andis clippers cut faster than the oster fast feeds?

[MatiasJPesman]

this was dope!

[AZNallday]

name of the song/beat?

[jamealp]

Vick my brotha,do you always do your shape up before you do your taper?

[VICKTHEBARBER]

@jamealp NOT ALWAYS BUT IF THE HAIR IS SHORT ALREADY I DO

[jcoleston]

@VICKTHEBARBER aye mr vick can u tell me y ur razor trimmer or tattoois cutting so sharp...? my razor doesnt n can u adjust them?

[chrisrodriguezbruh]

Hey man nice video ..can i do still do a taper with a Andis master clipper ? The sides and the back

[mdt9981]

Hello Vick, I have a few questions regarding the 5 star senior clippers V5000 versus V9000. I understand the cutting power is different. I’m a little confused on how to tell them apart. Are they the same in appearance? If so, how can you differentiate between the two? Are the model numbers on the clippers different? Please assist me down the path of enlightenment.

[VICKTHEBARBER]

@mdt9981 THE CLIPPER IS THE SAME IN APPEARANCE THE ONLY WAY TO TELL THE DIFF IS ON THE BOX THE NEW ONES WILL SAY V9000 ON THE BOX

[johnniepbrickwall]

Hey Vick do you only use Wahl Clippers? How do you feel about Andis products?

[VICKTHEBARBER]

@johnniepbrickwall IVE USED ANDIS CLIPPERS FOR YEARS AND I LOVE THEM BUT I HAVE RECENTLY WENT OVER TO WAHL COMPLETLEY BECAUSE I FEEL THAT THEY ARE THE UNDER DOG IN THE CLIPPER WORLD AND IVE ALWAYS LIKED THE WAY THE CUTT ITS KINDA A GOING AGAINST THE GRAIN THING ME N MY HOMIE RON SAID WE GONNA GO ALL WAHL FROM NOW ON SO THATS WHY I USE THEM BUT ANDIS MAKES GREAT CLIPPERS AS WELL AND I WOULD ALWAYS RECOMEND THEM TO A BARBER

[xNBAChamp]

If I want the back like that short, do I tell my barber I want a light taper fade?

[VICKTHEBARBER]

@xNBAChamp YEA OR YOU CAN TELL HIM TO LOOK THIS VIDEO ALSO AND HE COULD PROBABLY GET THE HANG OF IT...PEACE MAN

[xNBAChamp]

@VICKTHEBARBER Thank You

[gyoung7607]

does it cut the same as the 5 star razor edgers?

[jesse72610]

can you add an andis t-outliner blade to the wahl tattoo ?

[VICKTHEBARBER]

@jesse72610 no wont fit

[folkgd13]

AYE VICK HOW DO YOU MAKE YOUR HAIR TO STAY DOWN EVEN WHEN YOU GET OUT THE SHOWER ? PLZ ANSWER BACC THANKS !

[skid272]

hey vick is there a difference between a high bald taper, a low fade and a taper fade?

[VICKTHEBARBER]

@skid272 ILL MAKE A VID ON IT

[skid272]

@VICKTHEBARBER good looking out, thanks brotha

[heckens077]

hey boss man great videos you got.. i just have a question... i use andis masters everyday and only know how to fade with them so could you tell me which ones to choose from the regular seniors or the 5stars?

[VICKTHEBARBER]

@heckens077 I WOULD SAY START OUT WITH THE SENIOR THEN MOVE UP TO THE 5STAR SENIOR BECAUSE THEY DO TAKE SOME GETTING USED TO...BUT ONCE U MASTER THEM THERES NOTHING THAT COMPARES

[JimboMatsumoto]

oddissee beat !



[hotyoungstunna1]

wassup Vick first of all i wanna say ur videos are great and u r great at what u do. I wanted to see if u were experiencing the same problems i am. I recently jus got the new v9000 5 star senior which i think its a great clipper but i been noticing when doing 0 fades or skin fades they sometimes tend to snag the skin do you hav the same problem with urs? If so wat did you do to fix it...Thanks and keep doin ur thing

[VICKTHEBARBER]

@hotyoungstunna1 YES I USED TO HAVE THAT PROBLEM WHEN I FIRST STRATED USING THEM...U GOTTA BE CAREFUL WHEN GOING ZERO...DODNT DIG THE BLADE STRAIGHT INTO THE SKIN...TRY TO KEEP THE BLADE FLAT AGAINST WHEN FADING

[ChrisPR88]

hey i just got my 5 star seniors in the mail and i was wondering do i have to adjust them in any way Vick?

[VICKTHEBARBER]

@ChrisPR88 NAW U DONT NEED TO ADJUST THEM BROTHA

[Jfr3sh241]

Does ur blade on the5 star senior move alot. Mine does?

[VICKTHEBARBER]

@Jfr3sh241 NOT AT ALL...TRY TIGHTENING THEM...

[ProdigyDefined]

when you do the taper on the neck..do u starrt bald and work ur way to the half or do u start with just a half

[ProdigyDefined]

@ProdigyDefined and do u always do a 1 first cause in the other video u did a half first

[franklinreid]

Dope

[DEMPEROR1]

hey vick got a question whats the best way blend a 5 on top and a 3 on the sides. Im trying to cut my own hair but it never comes out exactly the way i want it to so and suggestions ?

[ChrisPR88]

Hey vick is that the 5 star wahl senior with the v9000 power?

[julzthebarber]

5 star seniors or wahl seniors to blend out the line wich one is better in your opinion? i have the fast feed its my baby but im curious on how these works!!

[VICKTHEBARBER]

@julzthebarber TO TAKE OUT THE LINE I WOULD SAY THE 5 STAR SENIOR

[julzthebarber]

@VICKTHEBARBER ive had some bad experiences with those fade blades they pull the scalp sometimes the 5 star senior dont doit?

[VICKTHEBARBER]

@julzthebarber YEA THEY DO BUT NOT LIKE THE FADE BLADE ON THE ANDIS MASTER....U JUS GOTTA BE CAREFUL

[julzthebarber]

@VICKTHEBARBER i think ill just buy that v9000 5star senior and switch the blade......alright bro thanks...i was serious about buying your dvd first though man you better hit me up when its done!

[carlos93103]

Ur the shit bro ur haircuts are great and I like that whenever someone has a question u actually take the time to answer it not like some other people keep it up bro

[VICKTHEBARBER]

@carlos93103 THANKS MAN I APPRECIATE THAT... I TRY TO GET TO ALL THE Q'S LOL ITS HARD THOUGH CUZ IM SO BUSY BUT I DO WHAT I CAN...PEACE...

[ProdigyDefined]

my man your techniques help me out a lot. i gotta question if i was trying to blend a taper with a long length on the sides say a 5 or 6, would you blend out the line with a 2 or 3 im guessing?

[VICKTHEBARBER]

@ProdigyDefined GET THAT CLIPPER OVER COMB TECHNIQUE AND YOU WONT EVEN NEED THE 2 OR 3..CHECK OUT MY OTHER BLOW OUT TAPER VIDEO...PEACE BROTHA

[amandre9000]

aye homie i been using the andis master's for a minute now, also use oster fast feeds, but im thinking of trying out some whals clippers, whats the difference between the senior and the 5 star senior? most of the cuts i do are bald tapers, but i mean im still a rookie and im learning to do everything

[VICKTHEBARBER]

@amandre9000 the blade on the 5star is a fade blade and the motor on the new 5star is stronger i would say go with the 5star senior if u have to choose between the both..peace man....

[amandre9000]

@VICKTHEBARBER no doubt thx homie much appreciated

[gyoung7607]

Why did u put a t-blade on ur tattoo trimmers?

[VICKTHEBARBER]

@gyoung7607 BECAUSE I WANTED TO SEE HOW IT CUT

[SLAP559]

[cr4zyftw]

how much do you charge for these

[cr4zyftw]

thats fresh as fuck man imma get this soon

[barfancuts1]

Like I am thinking the line or bald should start mid ear? Ever se those done? I am talking about the part where you say "clipper it alll the way up"---like take it up 1/8 more maybe?

[VICKTHEBARBER]

@barfancuts1 I PERSONALLY DONT LIKE THE WAY THAT LOOKS....IT DOES NOT FLY IN MY BOOK.... THAT IS HOW UN SKILLED BARBERS DO THERE TAPERS IN MU OPINION....

[barfancuts1]

Like I am thinking the line or bald should start mid ear? Ever se those done?

[barfancuts1]

Great cut? Would it be cool to take the back up higher?

[VICKTHEBARBER]

@barfancuts1 YEA THAT WOULD BE FINE BUT NOT TO MUCH....YOU WANT TO KEEP THIS CUT SOMEWHAT CONSERVATIVE

[Wes8705]

did u have to adjust your t blade u put on the tattoo trimmers?

[VICKTHEBARBER]

@Wes8705 YEA I ADJUST ALL MY BLADES TO HIT HARD BUT I HAVE A VERY LIGHT TOUCH...

[daddaberry]

Yo that is clean as fuck! I hope to be a good barber like you someday

[VICKTHEBARBER]

[JOHNSON27ist]

Nice work Vick!!

[Finelinesbarber7]

Yow vic when u have a chance can u do a video on how to do a fohawk? Plz

[VICKTHEBARBER]

@Finelinesbarber7 that cut will be in my dvd brotha i shot that cut last week and it was super clean there will be pics on my fb soon

[chaucer555]

Excellent haircut but why so long on top? I think a #3 or #2 top would have looked much better.

[VICKTHEBARBER]

@chaucer555 that is how he likes his hair..... hes a young polotition here in san jose.... going with a 2 or 3 wouldnt be a good look for him in what he does u feel me....

[chaucer555]

@VICKTHEBARBER I get it...but he'd look much better without all the long hair. To me, the long hair just looks sloppy. Oh, well. LOL "You can lead a horse to water, but you can't....."

[VICKTHEBARBER]

@chaucer555 yea thats true......it looks real nice when he throws the gel in there though

[chaucer555]

@VICKTHEBARBER OK....I hear you. I hope to get to you sometime. You are an amazing barber....

[VICKTHEBARBER]

@chaucer555 i have a couple vids up already of short hair all even tapers ....just trying to show something new as well
