They do cut closer if they're properly zero-gapped; mine were perfect right out of the box and I'd contend that most of them will be. One advantage over clippers I've had before is that the open/closer lever on the side of the fade master is graduated, and I think this goes for most if not all Andis clippers, but Wahls and others are not. The biggest advantage for me is that you can use the purple magnetic guards on these and they'll never come off on their own and the teeth won't eat into them either; they are the best guards I've ever used.

Harry there is a youtube showing a guy using a hair dryer to expand the cans on a sr60i to open them and get to the inside and resolder such a beast. Because I'm older than dirt and my grandaughters aren't here to paste the URL. You will have to look it up under sr60i something. But personally what makes them so good is that Grado keeped it simple. They are known for having the best cords best balance between ear pieces with no static crackle for the money . I really wouldn't mess with something that's already perfect for the price range. It is expensive to make detachable cables of any quality. You're talking of headphones in a whole other price range unless that's something you know how to do well.

Go with the wahl compition blades. These dull out to fast but I LOVE the Wahl compition blades. I grrom professionally and the compition blades last forever before they need to be resharpened and they don't leave any track marks and don't leave a jut when using combs.

Hey Bobby . . . . I used a T-outliner before switching to this (both Andis). Since I've started using this, I've noticed how much easier it is maneuver although I'm no professional barber. Not just squaring off a lineup but getting those round corners is no problem with this blade since it is much shorter in length compared to the T-blade. This machine is also not too large to fit inmy hand nor is it too heavy. It can get a bit warm or hot if you use it for an extensive period continuously. When I'm finished lining up, I'm always super happy with how clean my hairline mark is. No doubt, you would be satisfied with this over the T-blade. It would definitely give you the look you want when lining up your beard, mustache and hairline. However, please not that it doesn't give a clean smooth look when using it for a close shave. I shave all my beard off using a razer shaver. But other than that, I highly recommend it Bobby. All my past barbers use this on their clients. Hope I answered you question and helped you make a great choice.

I've been using Brother tape for years - some items have labels over 20 years old. I have never had a label fade, so, I don't know what happened to yours. Sorry I couldn't provide any help.

I was doing similar cutting and found out to get the best cut I had to blow across the blade opening after 3 cuts. It seemed to get clogged with almost invisabe pieces of paper. I was using a new blade. Oncertainly I was done with all the fussy cutting blade works fine. Been told that a blade last 3 - 6 months with normal cutting. I had used a previous blade for Six months.

We have had our awnings for over 2 years and have not noticed any fading. We live in a very warm client and our awnings are black, so I would think we would have encountered some fading by now, but we have not. I was just thinking this weekend about how great they look. We really love these awnings and they have been a good edition to our home.

I'm afraid the low end cost of this mixer is due to the fact of lower quality components...the faders wear rather quickly...Out of personal experience I would recommend saving up for a Vestax or Allen and Heath Xone (2:02 is amongst the most economic with magnetic faders)...The m6 is great for DJ's simple beat mixing or key mixing for smaller Moble DJ gigs, it is very versatile however not the most abuse resistant (scratch DJ's are the most abusive to their hardware..that's why most scratch mixers have easily replaceable parts and cost a bit more)...hope this helps

I tried a set of the Freud blades and was happy with them. I have run a bit of wood through these blades and they seem to cut just as well. I guess I'll find out how well they last in the long run. I think most of these blades are probably made by the same company and everyone puts their name on them. Laying the Freud, Ridgid and these out together I can't see any difference in them. I guess in a couple of months I'll find out if they hold up as well.

Dave, I recommend you try a sampler pack to figure out which D.E. blades you like best. There is definitely a difference in sharpness, durability, etc.

Honestly man, mine is fading, but it is slow going. I think you would see results, but keep in mind it is going to take a while.

The fade master is better for hair styles/cuts with graduated fading, it is a bit heavier, and it works best on thicker hair

I bought the knives like 2 weeks ago and they are amazing, they have a lifetime warranty in case the knives dull or are damaged. I bought the knives without the wood block holder but I may end up buying it because they are sharp and could be dangerous to those reaching into draw to get a knife. I read a review that mentioned the back side of the knife (non cutting side) is sharp and I find that yes it is true, if you cut like i do where you put pressure on the back side of the knife as you cut you may find like few slits in your fingers, nothing dangerous though. If your considering getting new knives I would recommend them, they are extremely well priced and cut like no knife that i have had before, hope this helps.

If you want an Andis clipper go with the And is fade master. The regular Masters go down to a .000 and the fade Masters go down to .00000. Which will give you a closer cut. Also moving the lever back will give you a .000 cut with the fade Masters.

Hello,Thank you for your question. This product will not be effective in fading tattoos. For that you need to contact a specialist. Warm regardsReyna

Check with Longevity because when I bought mine Amazon had listed 5 years but I read on Longevity's website at the time that it was now changed to 1 year on the ones they were selling directly. I never really checked with them, I figure I'll worry about that when I need too. So far haven't had any issues and cuts great. I'm a home/hobby user so I don't really work it too hard though. Check Everlast's also they have great reviews and customer service and are a direct competitor with Longevity and I believe they carry a 5yr warranty.
