When you’re at the barbers table, bring your best mind set! I appreciate the theory you bring on the channel kev! Not just cutting hair, but understanding hair and tools! An educated barber is the best barber!
Hey Kev just want to say your channel is one of the reasons I started my own barber journey I want to say thank you and appreciate your continuing craft for quality content 🙏
It's cool how you put everything into perspective on zero gapping as a domino effect, once you zero-gap one in your lineup you have to zero Gap them all so they can blend into each other effortlessly
im a newly started barber with minimal experience. I appriciate every video you do and please do not stop at all cost. i always learn new things about clippers and trimmers when im watching your videos. I love the effort and high quality brings more too the table. ceep up the good work !!!!! from sweden btw:)
If you don't, you should teach! That was a long tutorial, with lots of information, but it shiwed knowledge, was concise, well explained, and you reiterated points when needed. Whether you're teaching Nuclear Physics, plumbing, or medicine, this is what it takes to be a great teacher! Keep up the good work!
thanks for the info... I'm a home cutter im not a barber or even taking the name i have always cut my own hair and now my sons hair, i zero gap my legend clippers and luckily I used it on my self first and yes the next day I had cuts on my head i adjusted like u said to have a small gap to not cut my own head or my sons head.
You have a very nice case. I only cut my own hair since my barber & his wife passed away in 2000. I unfortunately do not know how to properly use the straight blade to myself so I use my foil.
Bro, love the way you explain things, so relatable to how I explain lol, completely get what you're saying man, thanks for making it so easy to understand, as I said, you're definitely in my top 5 barbers👌🏽
Learning a lot from this channel. I really learn how to be a better barber watching this guy. I appreciate everything you have touched base on, to teach us how to do things correctly. Thanks bro.
Hey, thanks man. I wish all youtubers were as Wise as you. My mission was to replace my norelco one blade, that goes dull too quickly with a quality zero gap quality trimmer. I shave my face with the one blade and it's the closest shave possible without using a razor.Your Explanation of guard thickness made me realize that any zero gap trimmer will neve replace the one blade. The micro thickness of the one blade is unbeatable unless you use a real razor. If these companies could make the one blade way more powerful it could cut through bulk witch it does not probably because of clogging. I'm not promoting the one blade as it's exclusively for personal use and works well but would never survive a busy day trimming. In short your wonderful tutorial saved me from spending $200 on a quality zero gap only to find out it won't work for a daily shaver as I would have expected. Is my observation on the right track?
I zero gap by eye, I hold the clipper so the light illuminates the overlap, Generally, visualizing that as maybe the thickness of heavy weight 120g stock paper, 0.15 of a mm , a flies bollocks, Close but not flush.
I’m trying to decide on whether to get the andis slimline or wahl cordless detailers. Also I’m trying to decide Between the magic clips and the super taper
Can you please make a video on how you zero gap your clippers and different ways to do it? I zero grapped my trimmers and even the ligtest touch felt like i was cutting skin. love your videos
Damn that was a lot of info to absorb. Great info. I'm just looking for the best clippers that are simple to adjust to give me a very close cut for my SMP head without using a foil shaver or razor. Looks like the Babyliss pro is best simple option for me to cut my hair ever day or so.
Loved the vid, but for future reference, you should give pictures of what zero gapping looks like before and after for people who don’t understand the gestures you’re making with your hands, personally i know about it, but for a beginner, it may be confusing without a live demonstration or pictures 🙏🏽
I agree man, however the question then becomes why not just use one clipper zero gapped when closed to cut and line and then go straight to the razor? I think it depends how much 'prep' work do you want to do before finalizing the work with that razor blade, but zero gapping isnt necessary. Although, I do have mine gapped lol.
Absolutely agreed. There is no need for any modification. As I said, it’s just to make the a process easier. The reason we have a clipper and a trimmer is because it allows for one blade to be thinner than the other, and it allows for one machine to be smaller than the other. I rather not line up with a bulky clipper. And I rather not fade with a small one.
yo kev can u just make a full video on how to take out the first line of demarcation. i think alot of people and beginner barbers would benefit from it.
So i should zero gap my cordless masters, i have a cord pair that isnt zero gapped btw, just use those for tapering, then zero gap the cordless and zero gap my babyliss trimmers correct? If you have a video out on zero gapping masters and or babyliss would you please leave a link or inform me. Thank you!!
I just started cutting my own hair. It's getting easier, but I'm still no where near where my barber used to get it. Do you have any advice or videos on straight razor techniques?
From what I've noticed and have looked into is the following. Tapper Blade 0x3 (#000) Fade Blade 0x4 (#0000) Trimmer 0x5 (#00000) Correct me if I'm wrong. 🧐🤔
@@KevvThaw thank you for explaining it in a better way. I'm still new to all this and it took me 5 or 6 months to understand the concept of all of this and you made it sound simple and easier than when I was trying to figure it out. You're the man 💈🔥
Tbh i dont have a single clipper of mine truly zero gapped. I just adjust them close enough to blend into my trimmers. I only zero gap my trimmers and i leave one trimmer backed off to do kids with.

You explained the concept of zero gapping perfectly. I have never seen anyone explain it this way. Thanks You.

My Whal trimmers gave me a very sore neck after I used the Wahl zero gapping tool. maybe I need to use shaving gel with it.
Learning a lot from this channel. I really learn how to be a better barber watching this guy. I appreciate everything you have touched base on, to teach us how to do things correctly. Thanks bro.
Thank you, this was a serious break down and not AT ALL boring like many instructional videos are. Thanks again.
That was probably the most helpful video I’ve seen on the topic. Very clear and straightforward.
Can you post a link to the trimmers in the description or list the makes and models?
The new set looks amazing, been watching you for a long minute, and quality of the video and and content just gets better and better

Magic clip 1000%
Thanks for explaining!! Best explanation i’ve found 🔥🔥
if you zero gap them can you still use guards to do a 1 and 2 etc...
Can you please make a video on how you zero gap your clippers and different ways to do it? I zero grapped my trimmers and even the ligtest touch felt like i was cutting skin. love your videos
This guy literally explains things so damn good bro, thanks this is so helpful 💯🙏
I’m starting but I seen people say don’t and do I’ll see what works for me 🙌🏽 thank you for the info 🖤
Does the trimmer cut less lenght when the lever is fully open if you zero gap the trimmer? Hope you understood.
Good teaching my brother,thanx I appreciate your video
Really appreciate your content and how you explain things in detail. I’ve learned a lot from you. Salute to you.
cutting hair is an art man i be trynna tell ppl
Damn that was a lot of info to absorb. Great info. I'm just looking for the best clippers that are simple to adjust to give me a very close cut for my SMP head without using a foil shaver or razor. Looks like the Babyliss pro is best simple option for me to cut my hair ever day or so.
What do you think of the wahl tools?? Are they good
Any tips on controlling your hands? I’m very new so idk if it’s nerves and everybody has this stage or it’s me but my hands shake.
You are the goat 🐐 you make this so easy to understand and are so good with your words. Finna subscribe and tag along your journey as I start mine 👏🏼
Bro I have a question. is it normal when you fix the clipperzero gap to change the way it sound or something is incorrect
I have a wähl super taper and just got slimline pro and and is foil shaver. should I zero gap the trimmers? and also clipper?
Loved the vid, but for future reference, you should give pictures of what zero gapping looks like before and after for people who don’t understand the gestures you’re making with your hands, personally i know about it, but for a beginner, it may be confusing without a live demonstration or pictures 🙏🏽
Yo broke this down so throughly bro thank you very much 💪🏾
How much should I gap my wahl senior clippers for trimming my beard to 1-1.5? Pretty thick ethnic beard
can you make a video about speed o guide guards?
Can you make a Video on taper vs fade blade, please.
Hands down, this is the best tutorial explaining this on TH-cam. Thank you
Great demonstration! I’ve learned a lot , Thanks!!
Great explanation my guy
Love the visuals
Excellent tutorial.👍🏻
Great content 👍 first time subscriber

Great video, helped alot but what does you mean by the term "flick out"
yo kev can u just make a full video on how to take out the first line of demarcation. i think alot of people and beginner barbers would benefit from it.
I create content so I appreciate good editing when i see it, I know a lot goes into this. 🔥🔥🔥
JO Cuttin Up IYKYK bro 🙏🏾
best barber video ive watched
Can u tell me how much length the taper is when it's fully open after u zero gap it.
But doesn't zero gapping a clipper not scratch the guard while having a close lever?
So i should zero gap my cordless masters, i have a cord pair that isnt zero gapped btw, just use those for tapering, then zero gap the cordless and zero gap my babyliss trimmers correct? If you have a video out on zero gapping masters and or babyliss would you please leave a link or inform me. Thank you!!
Btw i do use the foil shavers but just starting to use the razor
Magnificent explanation period!
I just started cutting my own hair. It's getting easier, but I'm still no where near where my barber used to get it. Do you have any advice or videos on straight razor techniques?
Well explained sir.
Great education video brotha 👍👍🎓📹
Great stuff bro! Really really good content! 🎯👌🏾💯
Can you line urself up with zero gap clippers
So if we 0-Gap our Trimmers we should 0-Gap our Clippers?
Yo bro where did you get your Barber Case
Bro you have to try the renpho trimmer with the t wide Wahl blade. It’s such a hitter.
Broke it down beautifully✍🏿

Thx 🙏🏽 for the info, G
Great! Thanks for the review.
If you interest for unboxing and affiliate, please let us know.
Hi kevv hope all is well.
Miguel Torres Thanks bro. Same to you Miguel!
Im no barber, i just maintain in between cuts.very good tutorial
From what I've noticed and have looked into is the following.
Tapper Blade 0x3 (#000)
Fade Blade 0x4 (#0000)
Trimmer 0x5 (#00000)
Correct me if I'm wrong. 🧐🤔
Jose Caez that’s correct. I tried not to be technical on this one just so people could visualize the differences.
@@KevvThaw thank you for explaining it in a better way. I'm still new to all this and it took me 5 or 6 months to understand the concept of all of this and you made it sound simple and easier than when I was trying to figure it out. You're the man 💈🔥
You always explain it in the simplest way in which a person can understand. Thx!! 🔥🔥
That was super clear - thanks
Hey Which Trimmer ist the best for 50 $ - 150 $ in your opinion?
T outliners
Andis Cordless T-Outliner Trimmer
Good info here brother. Perfect Example of Bald and Skin Fade!
Great video bro, got my sub!
This video was incredibly useful. Like.
So you don’t use the bevel trimmer anymore
Nah, I haven’t for a while
God bless everyone 🙏❤️
amazing lesson. thank you kev
Foil cuts shorter than straight razor
Simply said, thank you!
Great video Bruh!✊🏾🙏🏾
Andrew Blake thanks my guy 🙌🏾
Great explanation
good insightful video
Ty!
What an amazing video, you're a legend. Thank you!
Yeah using a true zero gap is risky, you can cut skin with it because the moving blade can catch the skin if the skin folds a bit.
Excellent video. Props
Dope! Thanks man.
Beautiful video
In short if you zero gap the trimmer do the clipper to
This is a very important video 🔥
Tbh i dont have a single clipper of mine truly zero gapped. I just adjust them close enough to blend into my trimmers. I only zero gap my trimmers and i leave one trimmer backed off to do kids with.
