If they’re adjusted and are cutting smoothly straight on, but a slight 15* change in angle may still be cutting too close to the skin. This is the results of a trimmer that’s poorly adjusted and pressed too deeply into a clients nape! This is something you don’t want! You need to take note of both the teeth overlapping or not, as well as the angle you’d hold the clipper post-adjustment.
This is a customer that came in to get his haircut fixed and have what the fuck happened to him figured out! This was his first haircut in America! That’s not how it should be done… Here’s his haircut post Rebel Rouser… Note: This isn’t my haircut nor my mistakes.
Since I did adjust my blades, it does mean the moving blade is that much closer to the clients skin! If you’re looking to adjust your liners in the same manner that I did, be careful! If you aren’t cautious, you’ll potentially leave a client with a neckline like this: We’ll play things out and see how it goes! While I don’t mind the way the stock deep-toothed blade cuts, I feel that I’d be a bit more satisfied with a slightly adjusted blade. Having moved the blade forward, I’ve gotten cleaner and more consistent linings. Since it doesn’t have the deeper teeth, the feed of hair is very short and not very precise. On my grey T-liners, I’ve adjusted the blade so that the moving blade sits up closer to the stationary blade. I find the strokes to be a lot more powerful and consistent… something a female has yet to tell me… Sigh… in due time… But, sometimes, the strength of the motor isn’t always the case… Sometimes you gotta go in DEEP! Yet another thing a female has yet to tell me… Sigh… in another lifetime, I suppose… (As well as blade adjustments, of course, but that’s a post its own.) This is why you’ll typically see 2-3 of this style trimmer at a barbers station. If you’re new and are taking your time when cleaning the outline of a haircut, check the heat of the blade so you aren’t searing your client by the time you switch sides. And if you’ve read my first clipper review, you’ll know my stance on rotary motor clippers! But, magnetic motor trimmers do get hotter, and quicker, so take that into consideration. Personally, I’ve preferred the cut of magnetic motored trimmers as opposed to the rotary motored trimmers Wahl offers. The reason I’m more inclined to use this type of trimmer as opposed to Wahl, is because of the motor. And paired with a powerful magnetic motor, you’ll get just that! This is supposed to allow a better/cleaner feed of hair through to the cutting blade, which is supposed to cut longer hairs a lot smoother without leaving such a blunt cut. While identical in-terms of T-blade or square blade, the teeth on the stationary blade is a lot deeper on the GTX blade. One difference you’ll notice between the normal liner and the GTX Liner is the blade. The GTX is part of their Experience line, which has very slight yet noticeable differences between the general line and the Experience line.īody wise: They are identical in every which way… There’s also the Outliner II which has the square blade, but I’ve gotten used to maneuvering the corners of the T-blade well enough, that I’m not in dire-need of the square blade. The typical T-Outliner you’ll find in stores or online is the one with the grey body and maroon flip switch. But, today we’re focusing on the T-Outliners, so let’s stick to it! While I do have some by Wahl, I end up using my trimmers from Andis a whole lot more often and have several kinds. Chances are, if your barber isn’t using an Andis adjustable clipper or detachable, they’re definitely using one of their liners! From my short, yet, pretty consistent career in barbering, I’ve found my preference in trimmers to be with Andis.
Every link is linked to a product that I, myself, have purchased and used personally as well as professionally.Īndis is definitely one of the top brands used by barbers. This post will include Affiliate Marketing links in which I may receive a small commission for qualifying purchases. What are the exact differences? Keep reading to find out! So next up, I’ll be reviewing one of the most popular trimmers by Andis, the T-Outliner, as well as the GTX version. Pretty damn helpful, if I do say so myself… In addition to my first clipper review, I figured instead of reviewing another clipper right off the bat, I’d review a trimmer, so the up-and-coming barbers have a better idea as to the variations of tools they’ll need.
