- In this video I will show you guys how to swap blades on your different clippers. Most of the main clipper companies blades are interchangable so you can swap them out to your preference. I'll also show you how to zero gap them if you prefer to have your clippers set close for taking out the bald guideline.

Best zero gap video out there! Thanks for mentioning about the guard rattling when you zero gap, i feel like no other channels mention that and people just assume their clippers are broken when its meant to be that way when its absolute zero gapped hence why most barbers use 2 clippers ( one completely zero gapped, one slightly less zero gapped like yours)
💯💯💯
Sean love your content great help for me as a barber Sean and lakefade are the only TH-cam barbers that reply to your comments and questions much respect to these awesome barbers
I try my best to! Thank you 🙏🏼
Excellent. Although I’ve been a student barber for a while now, I still learned that when the clipper is zero gapped, once you put a guard on it, it’ll rattle and that is what happened with my clippers once I zero gapped them but didn’t the the reason behind it. Thank you so much Sean.
👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
This was awesome thank you so much for that lol I actually did this to all
my clippers when I bought a pair growing up and didn’t k so what I was doin lol I was instructed by a barber to do it 🤷🏽♂️🤣 everything you did made sense. My tools in the clipper department has grown MUCH! I still one day would love to be a barber lol thanks again!
Nice! Glad it helped!!!
Keep going Sean 👊🏾💯
I currently cut with the JRL 2020C and the Babyliss Lopro. I have them adjusted slimilar to the way you have your clippers gapped. 👊🏾
👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
Thanks for the knowledge brother!!💯💯
Cool this was really good I had problems with the guard rattling now I know also love how you explain on how the blade should be even on both sides I’ve always noticed how my blade was not rotating even I wasn’t Sure if that was normal maybe that explains why when I use the corner it would pull my clients hair
Exactly! Glad it helped!
Thank you I appreciate this video. I am a mom who cuts my kids hair and this helps❤❤❤
Good to hear!!!
Keep up great content mann🙏🔥
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Needed this video thank you
👊🏼👊🏼👊🏼
Hi, where can i get a new lever please for babyliss fx
Thank you Sean I was able to remove my old blades from my fx silver clipper and replace it with the gold ones and leave it the same spot to not hit the guards, thank you for this content helps a lot in detail, I also notice my clippers were loud and when i change the blades the noise went down a lot.
Good deal 👌🏻
@@Seancutshair One las question Sean, my blade moves to different spots every time I turn it on and off, is that normal for the blade to move spots? I'm talking about the first little blade thanks
@@edgarivanmiranda1943I have this problem as well. Ever find out why or how to fix it ?
Great vid👊🏼
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Def best zero gap tutorial, I struggled with the rattling guards too lol
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Dope zero gap video for us beginners.
Didn't know you could still use guards if the clippers were zero gapped👍
Sometimes they can rattle but can still use them either way
Thanks for the video, I just got the new babyliss boost fx matte black clippers I haven't zero gap yet cuz I wanted to see how the cut.
They’re nice!
This was very helpful
🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
Great ❤it awesome content and I’m good with all your gems and your right on everything you have said and I’ve had to learn this all by myself and I’m in school now getting my master barber license soon 😅 I have two friends in the school that have this problem all that your video talks about especially the changing of MM and when you change your mods or gapping your steps are not going to be the same as you practiced and you broke it down very well said-FACTS- so I shared your video with them and I was thanked for your video I sent of you and hopefully they’ll subscribe cause I have learned some things from you as well and I’m advanced and understand alot and have been doing fades tapers and designs inconsistently since 1994 I was seventeen at the time and I’m consistent now and my passion for our industry and haircuts are flawless and thank you for your passion sharing some very important things that will help beginning barbers growing and OGs like myself grow as well your awesome.BLESSINGS and Merry Christmas
That’s awesome I appreciate you! Merry Christmas to you!
Brother man I appreciate you! My son is learning how to cut hair and I’m going to be his test dummy. I bought him some clippers from my barber and they had this issue. I thought we bought the wrong guards!!! This video helped us out a lot! Imma put my son on your channel! You a real one 💯
Very good explaining
I’m gonna go buy my silver fx tomorrow bro and follow this video ☝🏽
Lmk how it turns out!
my clipper its to loud, its new u can help me?
thank you !!
Welcome!
Good stuff
Thanks dude
Thank you
You're welcome
Your the 🐐
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Came from your reply to my comment about zero gapping clippers. Just wanted to ask if its bad for the clipper if the cutters hitting the guards (besides the annoying sound lol). Also i appreciate how you reply to all the comments, real one 💯
Idk if I’d say it for sure caused damage to the blade but it would seem possible, it’s obviously not supposed to make that sound and grind the guard so I try to avoid that
Sean how do you stop it from going crooked again after a cut? I tighten the screws down but I'll look at the adjustment after and it will be slightly crooked.
If you tighten it correctly it shouldn’t shift
I have the Babyliss fx w/fusion blade not zero gapped. And wahl seniors zero gapped with the fade blade. Is that a good set up or should swap blades, clippers?
Yeah that’s pretty solid
Hey man, question, does style craft make a 1/2 guard? I’ve been looking for one but can’t find them.
It’s called 0 but it’s similar to the half
Kann mir jemand link von den Aufsätzen schicken
Can smb help I adjusted and tightened the screws on the blade on the back aka the comb blade but no matter how much I tighten it the back blade always moves while cutting how do I fix this?
I’m not sure it really shouldn’t move if it’s tightened enough
How long does it take u to learn how to properly adjust them how u want I’m in barber school still learning
It’s not too difficult just need to try a few times until you get it where you want
Good video just zero gapped my magic clips
👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
My question is about the left/right alignment of the bottom blade. The top blade moves left and right, and each time you switch on the clippers then switch it off, the top blade doesn't stop in the same position every time. So when aligning the bottom blade, how do you account for this? What position of the top blade do you go off to set the bottom blade? Thanks
Center it based on the position on the clipper body
This helped a lot! One thing that has been driving me insane is being afraid of over tightening the screws or not tightening them enough. Any tips on this? Thanks!
They should just be snug enough you would have to really put some pressure into to it to tighten it more
@@Seancutshair appreciate it man!
No matter what I do the blades are going to the side when tightening the screws. One side always get a bit higher. Got any tips?
Just have to hold it secure and slowly turn the screw
I'm from Romania, and even those from Romania didn't explain it so well. (I'm Roman, but you can get along very well in this video)
🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
Hmm I just tried to zero gap my wahl Magic clippers and I’m not sure what’s going on..
It seemed like a waste of time for me. I closed it from stock and it seems to cut me when I tested… so bringing it back to prevent cutting looks almost like how it was before as stock?
Have to get it just close not overlapping
@@Seancutshair yeah a bit tricky. You don’t think the Wahl magic blades are any different to others with zero gapping?
Also do any Wahl come stock as zero gapped ?
My wahl clipper came already as 0 gap. and infact it is true that you have to be careful using it or you will cut the persons scalp
👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
hey little question man, the back blade isnt 100% centered for me when the blade is in the middle its a LITTLEEE more to the right, does that matter a lot?
It’s hard to tell when it’s off, but when it’s running it should move back and forth centered on the still blade. So just adjust it slightly until you get it centered
@@Seancutshair but i mean does it matter if its just slightlyyyyyy uncentered
@@Seancutshair where can I buy a replacement back blade?
I have had a LOT of trouble zero gapping my rebels. The stretch bracket and the regular bracket seem to have a lot of play, click lever or not. If anyone in the comments has a solution, I’m all ears : )
Should set just the same just make sure it’s all the way tight
I tried zero gapping my babyliss lo pro with the gold blade and overlaps all the time. I try putting it in the regular stock but It doesn’t let me
It should be able to be gapped. Just try again. Sometimes it takes a few times
When I put a guard a rattles. I tried lowering the blade but it stays zero gapped or it over laps
My brand new rose gold babyliss are pulling . What do u do to adjust for that ?
Just need to reset it and make sure there’s nothing in between the blades
Just need to reset it and make sure there’s nothing in between the blades
My clippers are not zero gap but when i put a guard on them they make a loud noise any body knows the reason
The blade may be off center and hitting on one side
My clipper doesnt give a clean cut when the moving blade is not equallly aligned with the statipnary blade
Yeah needs to be just right 👌🏻
🔥🔥🤙🏽
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I don’t understand what I’m doing wrong on mine my babyliss pros won’t stay aligned at all! One side stays perfectly flush the other keeps exposing the blade or moving to far above it like not matter how much I tighten the screw on that side it just immediately wiggles on that side as soon as I tighten the screw
I haven’t had that issue. If it’s all aligned and tightened correctly it should stay
Is it the same for magic clips?
Yes exactly the same
What happend if I keep my zero gap touching the guards ??
Just makes noise
What guards are you using in this video man?
Colored Wahl premium knock offs
I have a question as soon as my clipper turns on the blade gets hot why ?
It shouldn’t that fast. Make sure it’s clean and there’s not a ton of hair underneath the blade. Make sure it’s well oiled. Use cool care throughout the cut and should be ok.
@@Seancutshair it does that fast there’s no hair I cleaned it I oiled it n I put cool care and as soon as I turn it on a couple sec you can feel them heat up and I just bought them I only cut like 7 peoples so far
I put the cool care n it fixed it but before me cleaning them it wouldn’t heat up like that
what is zero gapping used for
Makes it cut closer and helps get the skin line out
mann im nervous about zero gappin mine, they already are zero gapped, cuz the store that i got em from the main guy zero gapped them, im just nervous that i wont do it the right way
Just follow the video and test it on yourself first. It’s not too bad you’ll be fine
@@Seancutshair preciate that sean ! i will follow without skippin any steps, thanks for the video !
Can you help me zero the Babyliss Pro FX3
Never done one but should operate the same as the fx
@Seancutshair the screws to adjust are spring-loaded. May not be worth it. It is a great clipper as is...
@@AnthonyPressleyE92 oh the clipper! I thought you meant the trimmer. I’ve seen staygold do it you have to bend the metal part that pushes the blade in position. Seems a little risky
@@Seancutshair thanks, keep the video coming
Link to 1.5 and 0.5 guards ??
Just Google search they’re out there
@@Seancutshair will babyliss pro premium guards work on all babyliss clippers ??
@@toodizzyatm7319 yes
@@Seancutshair is the babyliss pro single foil shaver good to purchase??
👍🏾
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Need some help Sean!!
Im using the Gamma + Boosted with a taper blade, just put it on a few days ago. I noticed when I did a cut that it rattled when I put a guard on it. Fixed that issue. My newest issue I dont know how to fix is, when the clipper is closed, and i open it to the next click, the left side of the blade (when your looking at the clipper) rises slightly higher than the right side. Once i go to the other clicks, it levels back out. I changed out the bracket but still does the same thing..left side rises slightly on the first click.
I’m not sure. I’ve had people ask about their blade moving but I never had that problem
Does zero gapping stop hair snagging bro . I have a new skeleton fx and it snags when shaving upright it plucks and hurts heeps . How can i fix it ???
Yeah sometimes it just needs to be reset. Try that and see if it helps
@@Seancutshair what do you mean reset sorry .....
@@thekustomknight2264 he saying re zero them 🤝🏾
