[e13373]

You have to soak the stone in water for at least 15 minutes before using it!

[kingmanny247]

Good tutoral

[TheChrishonda]

Is it the cutting blade that you're supposed to sharpen or is it just the steel blade? Thanks.

[madlionbarber]

Product and method work grest did exactly what you said, Know my outliner are crunchin thru the hair razor sharp outlines, also tried them with my styliner II blades a little more work to take the blades apart bu still works the same. Keep the tips comin. Peace from Philly.

[mvbp100]

how often should i do this

[Agnelum1]

@mvbp100 whenever your clipper blades get dull, dude... i.e. if they tend to be "ripping" the hair instead of slicing cleanly thru it. if you cut your own hair then you'll be able to feel this.

also oil your blades to help prolong their lifespan.

[sub2silk]

Good Shit.., this was a big help.

[SuperApparition]

Thank you for the video.

[aadescorbet]

how do u know when its ready and good...and does it cut the skin cuz some of the dull andis blades do sometime.

[ipodboqi1]

Thanks man for this tips. the clipper was just ssssszzzzzzzzzrrrrrrring hairs when i was done sharpening. thumbs up man!

[yungboss773]

[howardmciii]

hey alex can u use the same sharpening technique for ur blades with the concrete outside ur home as a substitute for the coarse side of the sharpener?

[stefanenyce808]

Where do I buy this setup from? I have been looking and unable to find it. Thanks,

[DROPD5150]

Might get a better edge with a drop of light oil!

[1skeeta4u]

[heydunkydoodle]

[wookalar007]

Thanks for the vid. Very useful.

[carboi84]

[goldeneyesoldier]

He got game i guess rofl

[trustworthyteen]

Hi Alex. What clippers do you recommend for a smooth cut on waves? Also, what's that stuff called that Barbers put along the hairline to make it look more defined? Thanks.

[albizzle]

youtube sucks for deleting the audio, damn.

[bitcher9]

I would also like to know where you can get the best wheel product. I think I will use your product to sharpen when dull and the wheel to thin out the blades.

Thanks

[defuniaksprings8]

Good method. Not sure about the best wheel.

[precisioncut]

THANKS FOR THE INSPIRATION man!!! YALL bruhs let it be known that if you put ya mind to it you can be whatever it is you focus on being!i want to get that tip of the blade real thin, seems like this device is for a quicker fix...whats the best wheel product? and when ya gon put out that crisp afro shaping video?

[precisioncut]

Whass up Big Homie, i need this in my life right now, will this device do as good or better than a wheel sharpener?

[defuniaksprings8]

Won't work as good as the wheel but it does work.

[MRGiGGz34]

can you use this method with a T-Blade???

[defuniaksprings8]

yes

[Devron22]

I have your sharpener on the way but two questions. In order for my blades to be super thin how long should i sharpen the blade? Also for clipper blades should i just sharpen the moving blade or both?

[defuniaksprings8]

It will be hard to get them thin with this sharpener but you can get them really sharp with this devise. The moving blade is the main focus when sharpening blades.

[illestballa24]

what can i use besides this sharpening stone to sharpen my trimmers

[defuniaksprings8]

Wheel sharpener.

[defuniaksprings8]

Maybe 3-5 days.

[3dmontana]

i see,,thanks..so its $75 right,,,

[defuniaksprings8]

yes

[3dmontana]

i got a question what are the other two sides for just wondering since i see that u only used one side of the three,,

[defuniaksprings8]

One side is aggressive(course) for the grinding of the blade. The next side is smoother(medium) to start the polishing process or smoothing of the blade process and the next side is the smoothest(fine) for the polished finish. I know i did not demonstrate everything in full and to the "t", but those are what the 3 sides are for.

[Jonixlzkie]

Very helpful. Thanks

[mister315]

Where do you get that sharpener at?

[Crastics07]

Can you use regular sandpaper?

[defuniaksprings8]

Sandpaper won't work.

[konzaz]

You just saved me 8 bucks. Thanks!

[6501945]

hey i want to buy this clipper u know were can i get it from

[torreon1983]

which side of the sharpener are you using it said that there was 3 sides on the sharpener which one did you use the fine, the coarse or the medium to sharp the trimmers ? and i also wanted to know wich side of the sharpener should i use for the regular clippers like the seniors etc.... thanks,,,

[defuniaksprings8]

Order the sharpener and sharpen them yourself.

[Devron22]

Do you know anybody or anywhere close to Defuniak Springs, FL that can sharpen my blades?

[Bignastyman]

what material is that for the blade sharpener

[Bradjr2001]

Test...

[tnbryan]

how often do you sharpen your blades?

[defuniaksprings8]

As needed. Maybe every 3-4 months.

[jermzhi]

LOL...its all about the music!!!

Good lookin out...Thanks!!!

[defuniaksprings8]

Andis masters for dark and fade masters for lite.

[BigLeeHUGE]

yo Alex, this is a great, informative video. My question is, how often should you sharpen the blades? I bought an Andis t-outliner about 2 weeks ago...ive cut about 6 ppl's hair so far and im not getting that crisp line look u get in your videos. Why might that be? should i have adjusted them or sharpened them or something? I always put oil on too! If you could help that'd be great...thanks man

[defuniaksprings8]

Adjusting and sharpening helps.

[lionheartc]

which andis clipper is best for dark ceasers?

and which ones for light ceasers?

[defuniaksprings8]

Andis masters

[lionheartc]

does it matter if it's the andis fade master or improved andis masters? or just either one

[anthonyw20747]

Alex, if my trimmers snags onto my hair when I shape up my face is because the blades are not sharp? I only cut my hair and I also have the andis outliner.

[defuniaksprings8]

More than likely that's what the problem is.

[ivanteamroc]

i was just wondering, i bought the andis T outliner. but like when i use it i noticed the ones at the barbershops feel much sharper when its used. do u have to sharpen them as soon as you buy them?

[defuniaksprings8]

Yes you do.

[TheMexxican]

oh nvrmnd well what kinda clippers are the white ones ur using in this video?

[defuniaksprings8]

andis outliners

[TheMexxican]

Where could i buy the thing u grind the blades on?

[DpDzl4]

which clipper would give me the best results an Andis Styliner or Andis Outliner II

[defuniaksprings8]

They both give me great results. It's a matter of what your hand is comfortable holding. I prefer the Andis Outliners.

[felecia1970]

thanks..this was very helpful. i needed to shapen my clippers for my dog. big help!

[elfederaleYO]

nice tutorial. can you hook it up with this mix though?!!? it is BANGIN.

[defuniaksprings8]

Yes!

[3dmontana]

hey alex i tryed that with very fine sand paper very similar to that and it just made it shiny and sharp but dint cut.

[defuniaksprings8]

Sand paper will not work.

[CLASSICFADES]

why do drop your perimeter line when you cutting a fade on your dvd whats the difference between straight line & the drop

[defuniaksprings8]

I do it based on the shape of the head. Unless the customer tells me other wise.

[LenGui69]

witch clippers is that, andis styliner 1??

[defuniaksprings8]

Yes. Outliner. Not t outliner.

[manicstudio]

is the "t outliner" worse or somethin?? that wha i been using?

[defuniaksprings8]

T-outliners are great and outliners are great. I prefer outliner over t-outliner.

[uptown303]

me too. How much is it to order what you were usin to sharpen your blades oc?

[defuniaksprings8]

$50.00

[CLASSICFADES]

could you perform a state board haircut video for some of the cats coming out of barbering school ?

[defuniaksprings8]

Yes I will soon.

[gr8luey]

Thanks for that TIP... did u add oil before you started sharpen and when can i get a copy of that mix! Peace Luey....

[defuniaksprings8]

The oil is to save the sharpener. Yes add a little oil. And EVERYBODY wants a copy. When do you want it.

[Antwoinefisher617]

where can you purchase the flint board?

[smittyboy007]

I'm definitely purchasing that. By the way; what's the name of the mix that you added this video. It's perfect.

[defuniaksprings8]

Just some old school mix.
