Understanding Clipper Guards For Beginners

I made this video because my former barber college did not educate me with my clipper guards and clippers. Sorry for repeating a lot of info in the video. I hope you guys understand what I'm talking about. Please provide me with feedback for to help your understanding. Feel free to ask questions if you still don't understand.

I noticed that I forgot to mention another thing in the video. The purple magnetic guards can only fit on any Andis Clippers and also the Oster Fast Feeds. If you have WAHL, don't worry. They sell number guards for your clippers too. Just remember it's all basic math at the end. I hope I didn't confuse any others out there. Trying to break this down as simple as possible for beginners.

Sorry for the hesitation in the video, my first youtube tutorial. Negative and inappropriate comments will be removed.

how do you clean your plastic clipper guards?

[azninvazno8]

@heavyarms39 I use a nail brush and brush all the hairs off the clippers and the guards. Then I use Andis Cool Care or Osters Disinfectant Spray and spray it down.

@SHOOKEDsoul2 yup you got it and the 1 with the guard just cuts less hair versus a 1 without the guard

[SHOOKEDsoul2]

@azninvazno8 I kinda want to buy it as the masters open is a #1? then the master w/ 1/16 guard closed is a #1 and then open a #1 1/2.. then again with the 1 guard its a #1 1/2 coled and then opened a number #2 and so on...

[azninvazno8]

@SHOOKEDsoul2 basically it's still a 1 but it cuts less hair. If it's in the middle it's about a half but a little bit more hair than the half w/o the guard. Hope you understood that.

@azninvazno8 what about the 1/16 guard? will the master with the 1/16 guard open basically be a 1 1/6? what about it in the middle notch? the 1/16 kinda confuses me

[azninvazno8]

@POYOTHABARBER and each guard is about 3 bucks

[azninvazno8]

@POYOTHABARBER it says on the box that it fits on any clippers. I've never used them on the Wahl Taper 2000

[POYOTHABARBER]

Hey bro will those red gards wrk on a wahl taper 2000 and how much do they run 4?

[azninvazno8]

@isofly28 yeah you're somewhat correct. But don't confuse yourself though. Find the line that marks the half or close to half. Cutting hair depends on the clippers adjustments like your first knotch might be different from mines. Looks like you got it. Think of it as basic math. Let me know if it makes sense.
