Mine is from 2020, some website say 6500, some say 7000, some websites say the magic clip has 120 min runtime (including Wahl) They’re a little all over the place. Do you still use them?
@@barberslounge yes I still have them and they've been 7200 rpm since they first released ... This has already been shown with an rpm tester.... 7200 rpm with the blade on
Thanks for all your recent reviews man. Really good stuff. Do you prefer the big company Wahl/Andis/Babyliss stuff over the new brands like Stylecraft that is getting pushed so hard on social media?
I actually prefer the newer brands nowadays, Andis & Wahl have been slow with keeping up with them, but I like seeing the big brands start to finally make a push
@@elisamuelhernandez1689 Which Guards / Clips Fit On The Wahl Vapor F32 Fadeout Blade? Stylecraft, Gamma, Andis, BaByliss? th-cam.com/video/HTRZv5jGFSI/w-d-xo.html
Why barber still use Senior, when there are clippers like Gamma, Babyliss, JRL and other? What is so special about senior? I mean I know there is upgrade possible like ceramic blade, tomb45 battery that last 3 hours, but I still don’t understand.. what is magic behind?
@Rene.Rhodes The Corded version was very popular so when people went cordless they thought they would get the same machine without the cord, but very different, completely different motor
I’m looking to get a clipper and a trimmer. everybody says Wahl is old, there are better clippers on the market for the game. Here I am, watching so many reviews but yet still undecided. I want to quickly ask. Which clipper/trimmer would you recommend. I’ve got cheap clippers, and yes cheap clippers are cheap clippers. We all know it. I need help.. the Magic clips option is overwhelming. It doesn’t seem like anyone knows the best Wahl clippers.
@@AbouTheLooks it can be overheated and hard to decide because a lot of machines are good You have to figure out what matters most to you, honestly, I’d say get the Stylecraft Instinct clipper and trimmer, it’s over the top crazy If you want something more lowkey quiet and forgiving they’re are plenty of options
Thanks for your prompt reply. It’s not about getting Stylecraft. I’m in Nigeria, and the only clipper you can easily get is the Wahl clippers. There no stores here that you can get Babyliss, Andis, JRL, TPOB. Etc. just Wahl. And Wmark clippers. Whenever I watch clipper reviews, non of the brands are mentioned except Wahl. I want to invest in clipper that last me years. Although I know as a barber I got have like 3 4 pro clippers for different hair styles. I want to start with the best. I want to go all out, knowing fully well what I’m getting in return. So I’m stuck..
@ Wahl Magic clip is solid, the higher end ones are in gold or black. Wahl Vapor is great too, serious blade and longer lasting motor. Magic Clip easier to fade with the stagger tooth blade. Whichever you get look got a bundle with the PREMIUM CLIPS
@ solid machine, outclasses the other ones by far in my opinion, from the blade to the motor. Been debating on seeing if the stagger tooth cutting blade fits on it 🤔
You said other companies have a better one, which clippers are you thinking of? Great review btw bro, thank you for it. I'm looking to buy some cordless clippers to do self bald fades. I was sick of trying to hide my bald spots so I cut my own hair using my beard trimmers a couple weeks ago lmao. Turns out I had no idea what I was doing and I've been trying to learn ever since. The beard trimmers can't "zero gap", so I'm looking for something that can. I'm going to wait until black friday before I buy anything. I can probably get the vapor for a discount, or maybe something else depending on your recommendation! Thank you my brother
1. Did the upgrade the charging connector on the cord? On the Magic clip and Senior the cord would regularly fall off when trying to cut corded which forces you to buy 2 clippers to continuously work. 2. Did they upgrade the design of the lever? I like free flowing lever’s that are tight. On the Magic Clip and Senior the lever would easily loosen overtime and require retightening that would lead to cracks in the plastic right beneath the lever. 3. I wish they added a USB C port on the bottom similar to the cordless detailer design and with a charging stand. They also could’ve made their own Wahl one design similar to Babyliss that could’ve definitely made Wahl number one in the barber game again. 4. I love the new motor and concept of the blade that’s the only thing going for this clipper along with the new battery which are all pretty standard in the industry now.
@@rbtheballer agreed and lever is fine so far, gonna need some time to see how it holds up and charging cord is similar to the one on the Detailer I believe
I thought the Magic Clip was horrible for the longest too, but that stagger tooth clip is really good for helping beginners blend. My Cordless Senior feels like it’s been struggling out the box
Your RPM measurements are off, by quite a bit. Vapor: 8,000 RPM Seniors: 7,200 New Black Magic Clips: 6,500 The Magic Clips will NEVER catch up to the load that the Seniors or the Vapors can because it would eliminate a product line.
Nice review! I think the Seniors are still relevant even though there are so many other options out there. I wouldn't use them as my only clipper, there's other machines that have longer run times out there. But if I only wanted to use them I would keep like 3 at my station. I personally prefer click levers most of the time, it makes keeping track of the adjustments easy, I can hear and feel the click without looking away from the head. I don't do many skin fades but if I do, the Seniors cut closer than other fade blades, and that's where having a free floating lever is handy, you can make fine adjustments when removing the skin line so I always keep a pair around just for that. For the rest of the haircut I will just go with Rebels or my JRL's. I hadn't seen many reviews of the Vapor that made want to go get one. Thumbs up!
If you're a barber that's working in a shop, runtime is irrelevant because you should have two of everything. As for click levers, it depends on how you fade, because they don't blend the same way a floating lever can.
Very in depth. No one else is providing this level of detail and quality
🔥 ! the review the industry needed
very good review, covered all points and questions 👏🏼
The wahl senior is 7200 rpm.... The motor is way stronger than the magic clip
Facts! what he talking bout 5000?
Not my cordless one, maybe they upgraded and didn’t tell anyone, either way still a motor with brushes and not best blades

How does it fade on skin tight coarse hair and straight hair compared to the other wahls and brands?

@@rbtheballer worked good, I’m still surprised this clipper works as well as it does
Are the guards compatible with all 3 ?
Yes

@ Wahl Hi Viz has good reviews but I never used.
Seniors are excellent with a magic cutting blade
@@OhioState_Barbering agreed, I have a whole video coming where I overhaul the seniors
I always like the Magic Clip blade better than the Senior Blade. I just took the blades off my corded Magic Clips and put them on my cordless Seniors.
@@DruDilly I’ve been thinking about putting that stagger tooth cutting blade on another clipper, I really like how it cuts
@@barbersloungedoes the magic clip cutting blade fit on the vapor?
Wahl seniors are the one of the strongest clippers of wahl lol its like 6,800 or 7,000rpm lol

@@barbersloungebut what’s the RPMs? Need this info before making my decision thanks.
@ buy the Vapor it has a brushless motor. The brushed motors in the senior and magic clip will have performance issues as the brushes wear down
