Are the blades easy to change? Do they snap in or screw in as in other models? I usually use an adjustable (for fades) and wondered how that'd work.

The blade is very easy to change. They snap in. This clipper is supper. You won't regret buying it. I use it to cut my own hair and my two little boys hair.

These are the best clippers ever, you can not make a mistake with them and the blade lifts up and pulls off. Very simple to use

Blades are super easy to change. You silp a tang into the motor assembly and flip down. Takes a fraction of a second and is a super solid and quality fit. To remove you just reverse the process. Flip the blade up and slip it off. Life doesn't get any better.

You will need to have Double Edged blades with you, popular brands include Feather, Astra, Personna, Derby, Gillette 7'o'clock, etc. Actually changing the blades on the razor is very easy. This is a 3 piece razor - which means you can disassemble the razor into 3 pieces. The 3 pieces are the handle, the base plate with the safety bar, and the final top post. To install the blade please see the attached link for an image that makes it easier to understand.http://www.shaverhut.com.au/muhle-r41-safety-razor-tooth-comb-chrome.htmlHope this helps.

These razor blades do both. I have both types of razors. They slide on and also clip on.. Hope this helps you out.

As I recall it simply snapped on. My advice is not to replace it. My replacement blades never worked well. They always pulled hair. I had read simlar reports, but decided to try it anyway. After messing with it for a few months, we finally trough out the peanut and bought another.

I think they're fairly easy, but I don't have experience with other saws. The same is true of the guide adjustments. The first time I went to do it, I was apprehensive, but then I was done in a fairly short time, and everything worked. Like anything that benefits from precision, you can't do it super fast and expect a great result.

You don't. The blade never needs adjustment which is one of the best things about this trimmer. Hence it is rock solid. What you adjust is the guide - Wahl 3156 trimmer guide comb. In my old one it was included but not this one - I would not get the trimmer without it though. I will tell you this - there is no other cheaper trimmer that will last as long as this one or be as easy to use. If you have any other questions let me know.

Yes the blades can be adjusted, I discovered this after buying a pair and was asked if I would be using them to shave. There was a guy who adjusted the blades. I tried to do it with another pair and one end was higher then the other and this caused the clipper to pinch. It's a precision adjustment that call for good eyes.

The razon I received was different than the one pictured BUT so far I'm satisfied with it. And in respond to your question, I have not found/noticed any mechanism to let "me" change the angle of the blade.

I hope they do I have not had to change blades yet. When I got them I just put them aside thinking they was the right size. Now I will check to see if they are the right size.

I use Shark, I've been very satisfied with them. I accidentally ordered the double blades, but found that it's very easy to snap them in half. I haven't looked to see whether this saves me any money, since the blades are so inexpensive to begin with.

Changing the blade and adjusting the upper guide is not very difficult. The lower guide is more difficult because it's under the table and hard to tighten the guide once the position is set. The directions for adjusting the blade tension are very subjective.

No, there is some minimal play in the position of the blade when it is inserted, and I suppose it could be tightened down in a way to adjust by a few millimeters. But as far as design goes, it isn't adjustable.

There is a lever that you can flip up to change the blade. The thing is you have to make sure you flip the lever all the way up in order to take the blade out. I ran into the same problem and figured it by myself. Hope it helps.

I haven't used mine enough to warrant changing the blade. I really don't have an answer to your question. Sorry.

Just pull off old blade carefully from shaft. As far as models that they fit it seems that direction of blade rotation is most important issue in ordering. Not sure of fit for other models.

Yes, you can definitely adjust them and I've found that it is best to do so - and tighten them - after pretty much each use. If I am understanding the guides you are referencing correctly, you want to push the rollers (guides) forward or back so that they cover your blade as evenly as possible. Just look for the visible steel shafts protruding from the back part of the guide assembly and press it forward with your finger. When it's where you want it, just rotate the little red, round knobs to tighten the guides into place. Hope I've understood you correctly, but if not please let me know and I'll try again. My saw is in storage at the moment, so I'm operating on memory here. Yes, you can definitely adjust them and I've found that it is best to do so - and tighten them - after pretty much each use.

You would have to buy the blades that you want to use at about $15.00 each. However, changing blades is very easy, unlike on some cheaper models. On the Oster they snap in and out without a problem.
