FIXED/STATIC BLADES

Both clippers and trimmers have fixed (also called static) and moving (also called cutting) blades. The reason why they are called Fixed/Static blades is that they don't move. Fixed/Static blades are used to comb and lift the hair so that the moving blade can grab and cut the hair.

Moving/cutting blades are the bottom blade and underneath the fixed blade. Moving blades oscilate back and forth horizontally to cut the hair. There are several different types of Fixed/Static and Moving/Cutting blades and all come in different materials as well.

MOVING/CUTTER BLADES

Both clippers and trimmers have "Moving" or "Cutter" blades that move back and forth to cut the hair. They come in different materials, and can have teeth that are slim, deep, or shallow.

FAPER BLADE

Fixed Faper blade is a fusion of a Fade and Taper blade, thinner than a Taper blade with ridges for increased versatility and all purpose cutting.

TAPER BLADE

Fixed Taper blade has a slight angle where the tips of the blade slope down to help lift the hair when cutting and often used for bulk cutting.

FADE BLADE

Fixed Fade blade has a flat cutting surface and is ideal for fading and blending the zero guide line.

ACE BLADE

Compatible with Ace Clipper only. Fixed Taper blade has a slight angle where the tips of the blade slope down to help lift the hair when cutting and often used for bulk cutting.

ECHO BLADE

Fixed Echo blade delivers exceptional cutting performance and a louder crunch due to its thinner and deeper ridges.

SLIM DEEP TOOTH

Moving Slim Deep Tooth blade is lighter weight for faster movement with longer teeth for more efficient general cutting and debulking.

CERAMIC

Moving Ceramic blades are one of the sharpest materials and stays sharper for a long duration.

SHALLOW 2.0

Moving Shallow Tooth 2.0 blade has improved teeth spacing which feeds hair more efficiently for a smoother cut with no pulling.

DEEP TOOTH

Moving Deep Tooth blade has longer teeth and wider gaps ideal for bulk removal with crunchy audible cutting for all hair types and textures.

SKIN

Moving Deep Slim 45mm blade perfectly smooth cutting which is ideal for cutting bulk down to the scalp.

CLASSIC 

Fixed Classic 40mm blade is ideal for general trimming, edge work, and can be fully zero gapped for the closest cut and finish.

WIDE 

Fixed 41mm Wide blade is ideal for large surfaces, bulk trimming, and can be fully zero gapped for the closest cut and finish.

PRECISION

Fixed Precision 32mm blade is ideal for extreme precision fine detail work, and can be fully zero gapped for the closest cut and finish.

ACE TRIMMER

Compatible with Ace Trimmer only. Fixed Classic 40mm blade is ideal for trimming and edge work with deep tooth cutter blade has longer teeth and wider gaps for bulk removal and crunchy audible cutting for all hair types and textures.

"THE ONE"

Moving beveled design "The One" cuts closer for the crunchiest, smoothest cutting with no pulling or snagging.

DEEP TOOTH

Moving Deep Tooth blade has longer teeth and wider gaps ideal for bulk removal with crunchy audible cutting for all hair types and textures.

SHALLOW 2.0

Moving Shallow Tooth 2.0 blade has improved teeth spacing which feeds hair more efficiently for a smoother cut with no pulling.

X-PRO

X-Pro sharpening process uses convex and hollow grinding for perfect balance and superior sharpness.

"THE ONE" MOVING BLADE

Moving beveled design "The One" cuts closer for the crunchiest, smoothest cutting with no pulling or snagging.

DIAMOND CUT

    Diamond Cut blade pattern minimizes the need for multiple cutting strokes by efficiently guiding the hair to feed seamlessly into the cutter.

BLADE MAINTENANCE

To maintain proper health and cleanliness to your blades, a regular cleaning with a blade or fade brush and using a dry cloth to wipe away excess is perfect for daily use and in between clients.

For deep cleaning, we recommend removing the blade from the tool (clipper, trimmer) wiping away excess debris, spraying with a disinfectant high-grade cleaner, wiping with a dry cloth, and adding a few drops of clipper/trimmer barber blade oil along the bottom of the teeth, not lower near the screw area. [For clippers, the oil should be applied while the clipper is moving, using 3 drops of oil. One on each side and one in the middle. Let the clipper run to lubricate the blades for 15 - 30 seconds. Shut off the clipper and wipe off any excess oil.]

*Failure to properly maintain your blade can result in skin irritation and cross contamination between clients possibly leading to infections.

BLADE ALIGNMENT

To align your blades, make sure that the movable top blade does not extend over the fixed bottom blade. If not installed properly, it can snag or drag on the skin.

Blade alignment is when the blades are parallel horizontally so that one edge of the cutting blade is not higher than the left or right side.

ZERO GAPPED

To Zero-gap is when the cutting blade is pushed up to match the fixed blade.

To achieve zero-gap on clippers, make sure your lever is in the shortest closed position and loosen the screws. Shift the fixed blade up or down to the desired gap. A true zero gap has no gap between the tip of the fixed blade and the moving blade. Once the blades are aligned to your liking tighten the screws again and check the blades for proper alignment. Do not over-tighten screws.

To achieve zero-gap on trimmers, remove both the fixed and moving blade. Loosen the screws of the moving blade which allows you to shift the moving blade up or down. In comparison to the fixed clipper blade depending on how tight you want your zero gap, shift the moving blade up or down but never past the fixed blade. If you want to achieve a true zero gap the tips of both blades are flush together. Once the blades are to your liking tighten the screws.
