I still didn't really get a great idea of which detachable clipper you think does the best job. My BCRG's are going out on me and I need a new pair. I'm sure a lot of people like the levers but I legitimately don't even know how to cut with them I've been using metal blades for 12 years.
For some reason, Barbers want to pretend like detachable blades do not exist. If you learn how to fade with detachable blades. Your haircuts will be much faster. And much more precise. Nothing cuts like a detachable blade.
I don’t get it!! In my shop is the same! I tell them to try them an they get bent out of shape
Some barbers wanna say the detachable system is too complicated yet they’ll use more than 4 guards to do a fade which I think is even more complicated 🙄
I agree 100%!
I love my detachables especially on straight hair
Shouldn’t need more than a 3mm guard and a comb for clipper work.
You really went into deft with everything. Reminded me a lot of your older videos. Detachables will always be a weapon in my arsen. Love the info. Thank you Eddie🫡
You can buy a battery pack for the bgrc’s. I’m a barber student and buying detachable blades have sped up my process dramatically!!
Thank you Eddie!!!🔥🔥🔥 I’ve had my Oster Octane w/black blades for 6 months now and ‘Love Them’. I use the clippers 80% of the time doing fades on curly hair.
Great to hear!
Detachable are the bomb the fade faster than adjustables too as long as you understand the fading chart
Hi do you know any video teaching detachable fading
This is a top 5 favorite video of yours! Thank you for the content. Sometimes I’ll fade with detachable blades only and the Octane. At my barber school the detachable blades weren’t even discussed but after reading about them in the Milady book I purchased them.
Thanks man!
You always make the best videos Eddie!!!🎉🎉🎉
Thanks !
I have the cordless Andis BGRC, and I love them. I'm not a barber, but I'm a dad with three boys. I fade their hair using the fade down method. Going down that latter of blades creates a perfect blend every time.
🔥🔥🔥
Eddie you’ve made me into the barber i am today appreciate the content been following you for years! Since you were team caliber and also used detachables in your videos. I now fade mostly detachables and clean up with my caliber bmg🤟🏽
A fade from a 1A to a 3.5 comes out smooth every time. (Sometimes you’ll have to grab your 1 plastic guard half way open to get rid of the line between 1A and 1.5)
Debulking tapers with a 1.5 or 2 works great as well.
Thanks for the info cause I fade with my detachable and I always struggle with the line between the 1A and 1.5
I mean, it doesn’t come out that smooth if you have to grab a number one plastic guard to fade between the one and one and a half.
They make a 1 1/4 for that
@@infiniteg7852 I’m searching for it on Amazon and can’t find one.
@@infiniteg7852 also it’s only 2.8mm (that’s shorter than a 1A)
I have the Bgrc (grey) clipper along with andis ceramics. Been using them for awhile now and no issues with pulling hair. I love mine, and recommend you try a set.
It's so interesting to hear you say that the metal blades aren't necessarily ideal for fading. Now maybe it's because I use clipper over comb with whatever the lowest guard of the fade happens to be but I don't even own an adjustable set of clippers. And because I take good care of my guards wear and tear have never been an issue. I've had my current set for over four years. Anyway I digress... since you said that I'm hooked. Which annoys me a little because I don't typically subscribe to channelsby hairstylist or barbers but now I have to so I can binge watch all of your stuff. Well done sir
Detachable's are still great but for todays styling you will find it easier to use a lever over the long haul.
I agree. Detachable fade better. If you use the blades in order correctly then you don't need an adjustable lever.
Never an issue with the 76ers or the blades.. every beginner Barber should learn detachable .I still use them corded 20 years strong😊 Clipper over comb all day..everything has purpose somewhere👍🏼 Keep up the good work
Right on

Excellent video, Eddie! I’ve been saying detachables are the baddest tools for a while now, but I’m an Oster fan. Always have been since I first used a Classic 76 about 15 years ago. I personally put BaByliss, JRL, and Oster at the very top of the industry. Gamma branded products are close.
I don’t really understand why anyone would choose anything from Andis in 2023, when there are so many superior manufacturers in the world today. They’re just like Wahl, but slightly less desirable across the board in my eyes. I can’t even name a product from them that I would take for free.
Nevertheless, great video and thank you.
Haha I agree 100%
I love detachable clippers ❤
Eddie, another great assessment! I have the entire Andis detachable blade lineup and use them in combination with my Rebels or Masters. For fading and detail work I love the adjustables, but for bulk removing, guide lines and smoothing with the grain, the detachables are the winner. Please keep up the great work. On the specialty side, nothing beats the OA FD (filed down) blade for shaping afros and getting stray hairs. Lastly I use the texturizing blade for thin areas.
Thanks for sharing!
I been cutting since 1988 and the 76 clippers are the work horse, you only use the masters type clippers to clean up, any vet knows you use 76 blades to fade and do 80% of the cut. Masters and other clippers outside of 76 are only for finishing haircuts, you dont use Masters to do a full haircut.
I fade with detachables all day
What is a good fading technique for detachables?
@@user-lb8tz8nm1c
close your eyes.😉
Don’t say I never taught you nothing kid😎
@@user-lb8tz8nm1c You just keep going to the next size blade, it does require you buy "all" the blades, but it makes it almost too easy, more tedious though, changing blades so much, but less margin for error too. Can't knock a lever or nothing. I do it and won't go back, because the results are more repeatable and consistent, every time. WS
@@Dan-o3e5b do you have to tiilt the blade at all? Is flicking necessary? Because that was my issue with the adjustable.
The most slept on detachable blade is the 2 3/4
Is that basically comparable to using the 2.5 guard on an adjustable?
Want that size being that it is the majority length starting at the parietal ridge of most cuts..? 🙏
1 3/4 or 1 1/4
@@Fleshnbloodrobot I would say around an open 2 guard or half open 2 guard. The 2 3/4 blade is magic it feeds, and bulks hair amazing, yet doesn’t cut it to short.
Would you say the 2 3/4 would be better than the 2 for debulking the hair in the parietal ridge? For those cuts where you have to blend long hair on top with let's say a mid skin fade?
@@JohnWilliams-oc9bo where can I find those blade sizes?
One thing u did to quitter down my 76s was greasing the gears under the face plate. Made a bit difference, also I feel like the design of the 76wad to try to stay true to the original. Also they have 3 speeds on them as well
Wait! My cordless have 3 speeds? or are you saying a different version? I tested the noise even with the blade off and still got like 78 dB too
They have 3 speeds? I have these at my station and didn’t know that.
@@TH-camBarberAcademygrease the inside of the clipper trust me it will quiet them down, and yes they have 3 speeds atleast mine do (I have the black version)
I love detachable blades brother. I use them for everything and then use plastic guards and levers to touch up.
Yup! I can’t understand people not using them! they give a much cleaner cut!
In welding school they taught us to wrap the cord around our arm to prevent the cord pull..I'ma try that with my Oster 76ers corded
The Andis ceramic blade has been pulling like crazy. I’ve cleaned it and it still pulls. I’ve only had it for a month.
Check if the screws are lose on the back of the blade or you can change the blade to a ceramic blade
I had the same problem with the andis 000000 . My service shop changed the screws on my 111 and now it works. He said that I had the wrong screws . Never changed the screws in over 30 yrs.
Thanks for all the good info about the different detachables
I use my octanes for every cut. Hands down the best clipper. I get my students to use detachable clippers asap. I love the corded oster model 10. Oster is like the Lexus of clippers. Undeniable reliability and classic design
What is a good fading technique for the octanes?
If you’re interested. I do offer virtual classes. I use a few different techniques based on the texture and type of style
Patently waiting for SC\Gamma detachable in 2024. 🙏🏼 also JRL’s
Supras have been my favorite detachable clipper!
Had my octane for 4 plus years still cutting strong, had to replace the hinges. With a 76r hinge with no problem
I been using the andis for many years now its my go too cuts are faster once you learn how to ise it its on from there it can get pricey especially buying the detachables but is worth it
I started with oster and didn’t like those other ones. I was a cosmetologist, but worked at those corporate places and couldn’t take it anymore, let my license go, but always wanted to switch over to barbering because I MISS, M I S S cutting men’s hair. Loved fading. Loved my Oster. However, the Andis trimmer was great… “was”…. Now I have to reinvest all over again. Will be getting octane and 76..
Wish you would've mentioned the Oster Outlaw. I never used it, but I was really curious about purchasing one when it was on the market. It sounded really good & powerful (the motor).
Good call! not even sure who sells that one i remember that commercial with the dude on the motorcycle lol
Can’t wait for the upcoming video
I'm a andis user. You have to use the Ceramic blades on that clipper. Once you have those, you will be fine.
I’ll try it
I felt like the andis ceramics are made with tighter tolerance than osters or the andis steel.
Can you please tell me where I can get those blue guards? Specifically, the half and 1. Please! I can't find them on gamma page
Just purchased the octanes
Hi, about the andis 00000 what I did was I just adjust the tension of the blade a little bit, problem solved, still the the Oster 00000 works better :)
Ive always used detachables.....and use them for a fade, but not the entire cut. I lay down a baseline length, and bring the 00000 up for my bald line.
That octane is a heiniger, pretty sure. I just bought a wahl KS, wish that was in this line up. But it doesn't take battery packs. It's cord/cordless only. No swap out. But we'll see how it goes for me. just a little less than that octane. I'm here to learn of what blades and which ones first. Need to do some dogs and my dog head and beard. Multi use. Adjustable clippers didn't work so good on them. Or me. I'm looking forward to better fades on my self. Thanks for these videos. Very detailed and opinion added. We need to hear all of it. Cheers
So if I wanted to give myself a bald fade with the equivalent of an open 1 on top, what blades would I need for the supra zr?
I appreciate this video a lot! I'm just a bit confused about the blades now: I've seen other videos saying Andis ceramic blades stay cooler and sharper but now with your review I don't know. Would you mind briefly explaining the differences?😊
Hello sir, thank you so much for this video. I am 29 year vet in the barber business and I’m very old school. I was very reluctant to move into this new generation of cordless clippers. I do have the Oster Octanes. Coming from the corded 76ers and having all the blades it was a no-brainer. They are still on my station and in use today after a few years of service. Unlike my Babyliss Snap FX system, which was my intro to the new world of cordless clippers. The battery’s suck. I am so disappointed in their batteries. As far as cutting I really liked them, but their battery technology needs a lot of work, even the extended version. I would like to know if I’m the only one feeling this way and if you have heard or experienced this issue? Thanks for all you all do for the business.
Soooo which should i buy. I have been cutting for about 3years
They should make an Andis BG R. (C) with a lithium battery that was the only difference between the other one that sucked and if you make this same design with the same battery and you know make the batteries somewhat affordable, I think you’re gonna have a killer on your hands because those clippers are awesome for taking down bulk
Bro the Andis blades are straight ASS! I pay my bills with Oster detachables bro
So the black blades can fit on the bgrc??
I agree that the Andis 00000 blade pulls. Once you zero gap it, the blade cuts thru hair like butter. You have to ensure that you are not over gapping it tho.
Love these videos 🔥
Glad to hear!
I fade with the detachable blade system. It helps me move faster, and in my opinion its more straightforward than the guard system.
What is a good fading technique for detachables?
@@user-lb8tz8nm1c I usually start with a blade, for example the 00000 if I'm doing a haircut that starts from skin, and then I use every other blade to make a guideline. Then on the way back down I hit the blades I skipped, and it blends in. I do detail work wherever I need to.
Can you use oyster blades on the Andis clippers???
New subby! I'm in the market for my first cordless! I feel like a dinosaur being the only one in the shop with cords ( get some heat from ppl but I don't care) ... Until now. 2024 ... I think it's time ... Great video very informative. Off to the store I go ..
Thanks for subbing!
thank you for making this, was just about to buy the andis blade
00000 andis does snag but I put ceramic cutting blade on mine and now they cut smooth as butter
What do you think about the bespoke detachable that andis decided to only sell as a pet grooming clipper?
I've been barbering for over 20 years with detachables and I've pretty much tried them all. Most of my career has been with a corded Oster 76.
I was trained from the beginning to fade down from a 3.5 to a 2 to 1.5 to 1A. Then I switch to Andis Masters the rest of the way down, bald out with a 00000 and then shavers. I also do all my clipper over comb work and flattops with a #1 blade.
When the cordless Andis Supra Z2 came out, I got a pair. Within about a year and a half, the switch went bad. So I got an Oster Octane and the switch went bad in it too in about the same amount of time. There's a vulnerability in these cordless detachables and it's the cheap metal pieces that engage the power switch. Those cheap metal tabs also wear out in the charging stands like they do in the switches.
After going through two pair of cordless detachables within 3 years from two different companies, I went back to the old faithful corded Oster 76. There is nothing better and it's been around longer than most of us have been alive. Plus, they are easy to work on because they are a MACHINE and not a piece of electronic equipment with circuit boards in them like all these cordless toys that keep coming out every month.
Haha I get it but I had a volt last 10 years didn’t even change the battery
WHERE CAN I BUY THE OSTER OCTANE IN THE UK?
Hey Eddie, can you recommend a home clipper/trimmer, i am balding and usually go for a buzz cut similar to yours on the head, i have a short beard that i like having trimmed by the ears and under the neck, only for home use i am not a professional barber? T.I.A.
What blades i should bay for the andis supra? Its the oster blades fiting on andis ? I dont undrstand?
They all fit each other i have had less noise and problems with the andis detachable blades for any of the clippers i have
Where can we find the detachable size chart used in this video?
I’ve had the cordless 76 for less then a year and it looses its power overtime which sucks I’ve had the octane and it randomly died on me I guess I’ve had bad luck with detachable clippers but I do agree they cut differently than clippers
Oster 76’s the best!
I use them to cut my service time in half. With textured hair is the best. I wish we could see them use in depth.
I have some membership videos where i show using them
I have the cordless 76 and ZR 2’s andis has an “outliner” blade that cuts closer than the “00000”
id love to hear your thoughts and review on the wahl km wireless.... marketed for the animal market but its a a5 detachable blade system with a wahl body
try panasonic gp72 /er1611 /gp82 /gp84 if u want power goes through everythink and if u want fade try gp86 fading
Where can you buy all the level of blades for the ZR2??
@@Dinho1288 look in the description and go to the link to Williamsport Barbersupply
The battery is probably bigger because they included the charging port and if you can actually charge without the stand there are probably some electronics in there. These things take up space.
Just got some Heiniger from FW Barber Supply and they are AMAZING!
Great video! Does the oster 00000 fit on the andis Supra zr2? I’m asking because the andis 00000 snags a lot. Also if I just get the andis 00000 sharpened will it stop snagging/pulling? Thank you in advance!
Yes the different brand of blades fit all brand of detachable clippers. But I have learned from experience that there is too much of a difference between an oster 000 and an andis 0A. Always left a line and had to scrub it out with my fast feeds. I recommend having your blade line up all one brand.
Im finding now that the better comb systems from Andis and Stylecraft, with the power of a heavier adjustable the detachables arent nessecary
I love those oster octane but they are expensive
You can get batteries for them BGRC’s
I absolutely believe my Pulse ZR II is better than the Supra. It could be mental but I think it's a little stronger 💪🏿
I like your videos but even with your last video where you reviewed the fx one Clipper, I just feel like your very bias when it comes to stylecraft gamma products, don’t get me wrong I love their stuff but a lot of it doesn’t work as good as you say, the rebel shaver is nowhere better than the fx3 shaver & the saber isn’t better then the fx boost trimmers, and I love my instincts but they don’t cut as good as everyone says and they get hot, and also loud, powerful yes but it’s all preference but you really have to stop being so bias to all other companies outside of gamma because there is a lot of tools better than gamma
I fade down with the blades then come with my babyliss to take lines out
X2 on the 00000 Andis blade! Ouch! I gave up and bought the Oster equivalent
6:58 wall adapter *
Detachables are better for everything except 3.8 mm and below. I've retired my plastic guards, haven't looked at them in months. I do believe that you can be great with any system, but i promise you, speed is unmatched with detachables when you know what you're doing. They are superior for fading and debulking
I thought it was just the 00000 Andis that pulled.....I just tossed a 1 1/2 blade that was a month old. Andis!!! We love you. WTF
OSTER OCTANE'S ALL DAY
I do entire bald fades with them in 10-15 min. Sometimes I'll touch up with seniors. Oster Titans are the best clipper ever made as far as detatchables go. Andis can't make a sharp blade anymore to save their life.
What is a good fading technique for detachables?
U can buy a battery for a bgr u dont have to use a cord
OSTER & ANDIS BLADES ARE INTERCHANGEABLE BUT, OSTER BKADES WORK BEST FOR ME SMOOTHER CUTZ & SHARPER
Bro I’ve ordered 4 Andis outliner blades and everyone of them pull hair right out the package.it’s ridiculous
Dam so it’s a widespread issue maybe
@@TH-camBarberAcademy it’s so much bullcrap to pay that much for a blade and it not cut…overall it’s probably been 7 blades in the past few years.because a few companies sent me new ones and I would send the new one back,but then soon as I opened that new one it was the same dam thing.i used to love the outliner blade for face shaving but for some reason a few years ago they stop cutting and started pulling everyone’s hair.i even tried it on hair shorter then a 1 blade,just to make sure I wasn’t trying to cut to long of hair,but it still pulled…I’ve been pissed over this for a couple years now.I can’t understand why no one else complains about this…I can’t be the only one besides you.
Don't get the outline blade get the 00000 blade and zero gap it 🔥🔥
@@trabiggs3134 appreciate that bro.i still don’t understand why new outliner blades are so dull though
I’ve noticed the 00000 pulls but the outliner blade doesn’t then I’ll put the 000 on there and fade up.
The zr doesn’t cut through the bulk like the octane
They both do but the zr is more quiet
Oster octanes are king.. they are way lighter than the supras.. and dont heat your blades like the the supras.. octanes are my work horse!
How much do they weigh?
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Do Williamsport ship to Mexico??
@@adolfomedina9603 not sure mate
look into the heiniger sirius , gunna be the best clipper on the market
@@philsadd1144 that’s just a more expensive oster octane
Octanes BEEN it!!!!
Never been a fan of the 00000 blade I would use the 0000 instead when I was using detachables.
Why nobody gives the 000 and 1 blade anymore 🤔🥺🥺🥺
they do in fact the octane gives you 1 and 000 onyx version in the box i was very surprised
The andis supra zr2 comes with the 000 attached to it
@@Jram717 oster used to give both blades for all of their detachables. Andis has never provided the 1 with any Supra zr

I am in Italy but i can't find none of these

You dont need a 00000 detachable blade unless you work for a veterinarian 😂... just get u any brand 000 -0 and zero gap it.
