Thanks for posting this comparison. It's exactly what I needed to know, because the Slimlines have always been a go-to trimmer for me, even though I also have the Babyliss Silver FX, cordless Detailers, and cordless T Outliners. I modified a set of Slimlines with the GTX blade, but they never really cut as sharp as the regular blade. I'll probably buy these new ones because I'm a trimmer junkie, but at least I know what to expect now.
Thanks for the great video. You are 100% right about this one. I bought the Slimline Pro GTX and it was useless for balding out for me. I like it for lineups and for tapers. But on a mid-fade on medium hair it was getting stuck on the back of the head. I had to switch to the Wahl cordless detailer.
I use slimline on kids back of the head neck, and under the chin and cheek because they're not hitters they won't make people uncomfortable, I love them for that reason I have them modded they're a great tool for sensitive areas and people
One of the other barbers that I work with showed me some thing that sharpens blades,it had a rough side of metal with diamonds shapes and the other side was smooth and had a handle…about the size of a big smart phone,long story short he put some oil on the smooth side and filed the inner side of both blades for no more than 5/10 minutes on and off checking the blade,this thing can file down the stationary blade as thin as a razor blade within minutes which you wouldn’t do obviously but I’m saying this thing make any blade as sharp as you could possibly get…this thing makes lineups hit harder than with the 60 second modifier and goes through bulk way better and doesn’t pull the skin like when going against the grain
I have the slimlines li and I modded them and ran into the same problems you ran into with the blades misaligning after use, I did get the babyliss black fx which is now my primary trimmer. But I continued the use my slimlines as a way to create my bald line since it’s not as strong my bald line can be easily erased, I was wondering if I can just buy the gtx blade and slap it on my old slimlines or should I just buy the whole slimline gtx trimmer
Forgive me as I’m new to this. Just for personal use at home but trim for friends. Why the GTX over try e original? Can one just use the outliner? Or is it to save $$?
I already have the slimline with the regular blade. I'd also be curious to know if you can fit the gtx blade on the trimmer. I don't want to spend money on just buying a new trimmer.
@@ilijacvetkovic2922 the teeth are slightly different.. some said the gold actually cuts a bit more bulk faster than the silver..some said the silver has deeper details in edge ups..but they both are very powerful items. .. Like everything they have pros/cons..
@@ilijacvetkovic2922 gold tooth has a thinner blade (it's also a deep tooth just not as deep as Babyliss deep tooth) silver does better with bulk but the golds get closer to the skin and give sharper lines.
Not sure if it matters, but the holes on the top blade that come with the Slimline GTX line up with the holes in the trimmer body, unlike when you do the mod yourself (he shows it at 10 min)
You should of challenged the slim line pro li with the regular little stock blade . That blade hit harder than the toutliner blade on the slim line pro li trimmer
can anyone tell me how to identify if my andis slimline is one of the lithium ion battery powered ones? ...because from my understanding, the older ones were nicad... & ive had mine for about 4 or 5 years now(?) ...& i hear everyone rave over how great they are, & ive honestly been very disappointed with it, it barley makes it thru a haircut before they start slowing down & sounding weak? & im debating on replacing them with either a new slimline gtx or the babyliss skeletons? always enjoy ur videos man, thank u & merry christmas
@@IDOITTRAVELS yeah... unfortunately its been so long ago that i cant find the box, ive probably pitched it a while back... sooo... my barber supply guy is supposed to be bringing me a set of the babyliss to have a look at, so that may be the way to go... thanx man. always enjoy ur videos, god bless & merry christmas to ya dude!
Super informative video bro 💯 I have a question regarding tools somewhat related to this video. Ill message you through IG 😁. Thanks again for the knowledge!

Go look up Nelo blendz he is changing the game

good call on leaving the beard demo in the video. It was a big help.
One of the other barbers that I work with showed me some thing that sharpens blades,it had a rough side of metal with diamonds shapes and the other side was smooth and had a handle…about the size of a big smart phone,long story short he put some oil on the smooth side and filed the inner side of both blades for no more than 5/10 minutes on and off checking the blade,this thing can file down the stationary blade as thin as a razor blade within minutes which you wouldn’t do obviously but I’m saying this thing make any blade as sharp as you could possibly get…this thing makes lineups hit harder than with the 60 second modifier and goes through bulk way better and doesn’t pull the skin like when going against the grain
what is it ?
That black white rotating thing behind you is soo much fun to watch 😃
A barber pole, my guy! It looks black, but it's really blue.
No, it’s black and white. I wanted the traditional red, white, and blue, but I didn’t read the description of the item.
Very informative! Thank you
Awesome review man......guess I know what trimmer I’m getting 😏....thanks!
I blame the people for this. A lot of reviews claimed that that Slimline Pro Li hits. I disagree. Nonetheless the clipper needs more power.
I have the slimlines li and I modded them and ran into the same problems you ran into with the blades misaligning after use, I did get the babyliss black fx which is now my primary trimmer. But I continued the use my slimlines as a way to create my bald line since it’s not as strong my bald line can be easily erased, I was wondering if I can just buy the gtx blade and slap it on my old slimlines or should I just buy the whole slimline gtx trimmer
Why not just buy the gtx replacement blade for the slimline li?
You killed it!
A good comparison to these Slimelines are the Wahl 5 Star Align cordless Trimmers and they good can you do a review.
I like the andis slimline pro too.
Forgive me as I’m new to this. Just for personal use at home but trim for friends. Why the GTX over try e original? Can one just use the outliner? Or is it to save $$?
could listen to you all day
Thanks for the review. Does the new gtx blade fit on the slimline pro li body?
It should.
I already have the slimline with the regular blade. I'd also be curious to know if you can fit the gtx blade on the trimmer. I don't want to spend money on just buying a new trimmer.
U can modify the gtx blade to fit the li i did its the best
@@mrdavis4931 Slimline li is a good trimmer but it lacks power. I use it to get in tight spaces but I don't use it to lime up my forehead.
I have a question so do I need to modify my slimline pro gtx???? If I don't should I zero gap it?
You can modify them if you want, or you can simply zero gap them. These trimmers are ok. I wouldn’t buy them if you’re considering them.
@@IDOITTRAVELS oh okay I'm going to get the babyliss silver fx. I am trying to become a barber and I don't know how much to spend.
Is the babyliss good for a beginner or would it be overkill
What's your top 3 favorite trimmers?
Babyliss FX trimmer, Babyliss FX Trimmer, Andis Corded GTX!
@@IDOITTRAVELS Haha, everyone seems to love that babyliss. Thanks
Just looking for some good tools (home use) for beard work.
Blue Fx 😅😅😅
Love the slimline too Bro 🤝🏽😉
Do you recommend these for balding and do they snag out of the box or bite skin bro
You will be a fool to bald out with these! They shouldn’t bite or snag out the box.
The Andis CTX trimmer is good.
For sharp beard lines should I get li or gtx?
You can get sharp lines with both, but just get the regular li’s
What’s the best for lining a beard, I need something that can shape like I’m drawing with a pen.
Get the new Babyliss FX trimmers
I'm glad I had invested in gold babyliss fx ..
Whats dif bt gold and silver one?
@@ilijacvetkovic2922 the teeth are slightly different..
some said the gold actually cuts a bit more bulk faster than the silver..some said the silver has deeper details in edge ups..but they both are very powerful items. ..
Like everything they have pros/cons..
@@ilijacvetkovic2922 gold tooth has a thinner blade (it's also a deep tooth just not as deep as Babyliss deep tooth) silver does better with bulk but the golds get closer to the skin and give sharper lines.
@@IvMacCuts oke, i need gold then
@@ilijacvetkovic2922 if you need them as liners/edgers then yes they're better 💯
this gtx or babyless trimmer sr whats you favorite ??
Babyliss fx
I’m pretty sure the 00 is for stainless steel which I thought was a nice touch and I added
Which trimmers do you recommend for balling?
I don’t!
Which Babyliss model are you promoting?
The silver fx! They’re all good tho
I think the babyliss moves the hair cause the blade moves to fate where the andis is slower and actually cuts the hair and stays accurate
Hey bro which I should get myself line ups gtx or slim line pro li
Regular slimline pro li. However, I have a sleeper clipper
@@IDOITTRAVELS what’s the sleeper 👀?
Do you know if they're going to sell that particular Blade with that bracket system separately for the Slimline Pro Li?
Not sure if it matters, but the holes on the top blade that come with the Slimline GTX line up with the holes in the trimmer body, unlike when you do the mod yourself (he shows it at 10 min)
Can you add the link for illusions couldn’t find it. Thanks
Illuzien.com
The silverfx has a deep tooth blade that's why the gold FX has a fine tooth blade
gold fx has a standard blade
Thanks for getting rid of the white smock👍🏾it never was just quite clean (looking)😂
The smocks are dope! Are they true to size? Or would you recommend going up or down a size?
Pretty true to size. Some say they’re slightly bigger. Just buy your size. You’ll be fine

If you still have the box, it will tell you there. Nevertheless, get the Babyliss Skeleton clippers. Best cordless trimmers 🙌 down!
