Whats good!?!? Are you familair with the Andis Power Fade Clipper? Whats better the Fade Master or the Andis Power Fade Clipper?

[clipperguysays]

@deeman7030 Master Fade is faster... Ceram Power fade has slower blade speed... but is torquier... More cutting force (power) at lower speed. Power fade is lighter, too. master is KING! Ivan

are all the guards the same? mine doesn't seem to blend in from #1 to #2 properly - still shows a line any suggestions??

[clipperguysays]

It is all in the rocking motion...

[Sunfist85]

andis blades jump from a number 2 to a 3 1/2, how would i get the lengths in between?

[clipperguysays]

That is where the tapering "rocking" motion comes in... so any balde can cut transitional lengths.

[clipperguysays]

Hmmmmm.

Intersting suggestion... How close/long would you like it to cut?

[cutthoatdope]

as close as it does right now,but adjustable as a regular clipper would and be able to put guards on to u know...even with the new magnetic one's would be so cool

[clipperguysays]

The teeth on an Outliner are way too fine to allow hair to feed/flow through a guard and into the blade.

Thanks man!

Also the barber that I work with asked if I had them sharpened cause I guess they use a magnet to hold the blades while being sharpened and maybe the didnt demagnetize them, but this was not the case, it was a new blade that I orderd when I bought the guards. Please respond ASAP. Thanks.

[clipperguysays]

I will ask a few q's and we will see...

I will post back here when I know.

Hey Ivan, I bought the Nano silver magnetic clipper guards and they worked great for about 1 week. The next week my clippers (improved master) were kind of sluggish. I blade washed them and oiled the blades and still after a couple of cuts the were running slow. I took the blades off and and they were sticking together, so I came to the conclusion that the magnets on the guards made the blades magnetized. Have you heard of anybody else with the same problem.

Hello Ivan, I attended your class at the Premier Show on 6/2. It found it to be the most informative class of the four that I attended while at the show. I hope that you will be there next year. Thanks again for all of the valuable information.
