BEST Clipper Review‼️ BaByliss LoPROFX vs. JRL 2020C

[@abigailgodfrey9035]

I have ordered the Loprofx in rose gold and I couldn’t be more excited! I trust you, and have watched all your videos and see you are so passionate in what you do! I have been a hairdresser for 12 years and no one has taught me more than you! Shout out to you! 😊

[@tuffguy11505]

What’s up Mr Clint. Just wanted to drop a few lines in appreciation of this comparison and well thought out review. You’re extremely informative and in a pleasant way, seem very trustworthy. So much so, that I decided to buy the babyliss fx one low pro clippers and trimmer. I needed to replace my really old and broken wahl cheapies that finally stopped working. I really am digging the grey with blue blade aesthetically. They are 🔥 Not only am I looking forward to whatever future videos you put out, but wish you nothing but success in whatever you do, both professionally, and personally alike. Blessings my man 👊🏼

[@t1nma5k22]

Hi Clint, firstly, thank you for the wealth of knowledge you have provided via your KZbin Channel & Your main website. Also for being the very 1st channel to actually verbalize & confirm what I had assumed for a while now, which is primarily the OTT Hype machine surrounding the Gamma/Stylecraft machines which has infiltrated even the most popular of Reviewers/influencers. I just wanted to clarify, if I was to purchase a new clipper. Trimmer & foil shaver would this be along the right track…? 1) Trimmer: JRL 2020T Fresh fade OR the Snap-fx(I mention this due to it coming with a charging stand & 2 spare batteries) 2) Clipper: Jrl Onyx, I love just how exceptional build quality looks & how quiet these are 3) Foil shaver: What would you recommend? The Babyliss fx02 perhaps/UV double foil? Your thoughts? 4) What in your opinion is the best Babyliss blade that should be used to change up the standard blade? Is it the GoldFx blade? The titanium 2.0 blade, the DLC 2.0 blade? Or the Graphite 2.0 blade? Thank you once again, sir.

[@brilleballesteros571]

i think the reason why it doesn’t show that its 7200 rpm or closer is because its way quieter compared to other clippers like wahl seniors, when testing rpms on clippers most of the time its based on the sound, but since its quiet, it wont pick up the sound to compute the rpm

[@clintmallon]

Good point

[@Roughdraft214]

I have a Gamma Protege and a Stylecraft Rebel, and while I like light clippers I couldn’t help but think that they ‘felt’ cheap but I figured going from Wahl I just wasn’t used to them and that that’s just how they are. I also have the JRL 2020c but never got the the trimmer due to questionable reviews but seeing you say that SC/Gamma are overpriced, yeah you’re right. Looking it form built POV I see exactly what you’re saying!

[@sergiubulzan224]

[@nermo.artist]

Nice. I feel like you have the most honest reviews on KZbin... I have both the JRL 2020c gold and a gold LOPRO. I gotta say I love the JRL a lot more. Thing is so freakin quiet (I actually had another barber ask if it was even on when I was giving a cut) and I love the click lever, its super smooth, and I like how it opens like a stretch bracket. (yeah, youtube academy shits on everything except stylecraft) (the most untrust worthy source for reviews) I've heard of people using the slower speed for detailing and ive tried it.... hard to say if it is better or worth it, and just always using the higher speed. I also have a Stylecraft Alpha and the thing is kinda junk. It sounds like its gonna die all the time. Not a big fan of Stylecraft. I am a fan of TPOB. I really don't pick up my lopro's that often. I have them zero gapped and with the fade blade its good for taking out lines.... but the click lever feels like junk compared to the JRL. Big JRL fan and am definitely gonna get the ONYNX one of these days thanks for your honest and detailed work Sir!

[@clintmallon]

I really appreciate the kind words bro! I can see why you like the JRL more. It’s amazing to think there’s anything out there better than the 2020C, but he Onyx definitely is. I’d be interested in hearing your take when you get one. Thanks again for the message.

Awesome, Ricky!!! The KZbinrs are definitely misleading millions of people to think Stylecraft and Gamma are the best. The Boosted is pretty terrible. If you’re trying to go upwards from the Influencer LoPROFX… your only options are: 1. FXOne LoPROFX 2. JRL Onyx 3.

[@samuelsfoodgardens8836]

This is why honesty is key with youtube review videos. Thanks for the real proven advice. I cut my own hair (gotten decently good at it with 2 mirrors) and have always had a Wahl from big box stores (they always started rusting/breaking down on me after just a year or so), but now i'm definitely eager to get the new JRL Onyx!

[@clintmallon]

Glad I could help! The Onyx is easily top two clippers ever made. If you get them, please report back and let me know what you think.

[@justcryHavok]

Nice review. U favor the Lopro over the Troll clipper? The woodshed barber said the exact opposite. I have the JBlends Troll n like the Tx fade blade it comes with. The lever doesn’t open as wide as my XO & Rebel but I didn’t even notice until I viewed this video. Also, what are the factors of having a thick cutting blade vs a thin one? Cause u sure r right, the blade on my Rebel is thinner compared to my other 2 clips. I think it may cut closer but it can bite me unoccasionally.

[@clintmallon]

Thank you! The Troll might look exactly like the LoPROFX, but that’s where the similarities end. They really don’t compare. The BaByliss is twice the clipper in reality. - Better motor - Better metal cover - Better metal lever track - Better guards - Better charging cord/brick You gotta be careful with KZbin reviewers. You never know if they’re telling you the truth or if they’re just saying what they think their sponsor wants them to say. For anyone to say that the Troll is better than the LoPROFX is absolutely absurd. It’s nonsense. And if any reviewer is telling you that Stylecraft makes excellent products, I would take everything they say with a grain of salt. A thicker blade has less chance of getting brittle and bending or cracking. The blade on the Rebel/Boosted/Absolute Alpha is super thin because Gamma/Stylecraft cuts corners everywhere possible, to make production prices as low as possible. Then they market the hell out of everything and have the nerve to charge BaByliss prices for throwaway kids toys. Not surprised at all that it bites you occasionally.

[@justcryHavok]

Appreciate the detailed explanation. Makes sense. What are your favorite go to clipper guards? I have the SC dubs that came with the Rebel, TPOB premiums (black) that come with the XO, the flimsy TPOB green ones that came with the Troll, & I brought the babyliss premiums separately. Was wondering if I should cop the wahl premiums too or if it’s not necessary cause I have the babyliss & TPOB premiums.

[@clintmallon]

⁠@@justcryHavokI like both from BaByliss (standard and premium) and both from Wahl (standard and premium). Since you have the BaByliss premiums, I don’t suggest getting the Wahl’s. The BaByliss guards are just as nice.

[@justcryHavok]

Cool 👍🏾

I’m so amped that you’re in clipper vs clipper mode Clint🫡

[@clintmallon]

Let’s goooo!!

[@Heismvn]

highly detailed clipper review, best one i've seen yet. loved how you weighed each product. weight of a clipper is crucial for me. Thank you for that also is there any difference between the blackout tpob trolls to the lime green ones that you have?

[@clintmallon]

Thank you for the kind words. These videos are a ton of work, so seeing comments like this makes it all worthwhile. The blackout Troll comes with a stand, different guards, and the XO blade which is different than the TX blade. I personally found too many issues with the Troll that I don’t think I’m going to release my full review of it. It doesn’t do very well for so many reasons. It might look like the BaByliss LoPROFX, but that’s the extent of it. If you’re looking for something around $100, I would get the LoPROFX right now for $99 before they sell out. The other top options for that price range are the Wahl Senior and Magic Clip. Both are no more than $120 and they’ve been the gold standard forever for a reason. I highly recommend all three with the LoPROFX being the king.

[@Heismvn]

Thank you! yea i have a feeling that a lot of people are paid to say good things about the TPOB. Unfortunately i bought it last week, haven't used it yet but from the videos i have seen it seems like people are either sent the clipper for free or paid to test it. Which is not a good sign. @@clintmallon

[@mauriciohzamora4105]

Out of these 2, in your opinion, which would suffer less from a drop test? Which would be easy to service/deep clean?

[@clintmallon]

I’d say the BaByliss would probably survive a drop over the JRL. I don’t think either would do very well though… just like most other clippers and trimmers. Most of them would break from a waist down drop. Therefore, I wouldn’t buy any of them based on this metric. Servicing or cleaning either of them is easy/equal.

[@goransvensson5547]

you said something very good at the end of the video. 95-97 percent of all clippers or trimmers will basically do exactly the same job.

Thank you for this. I need a JRL ONYX/2020t vs TPOB XO review. Clippers and trimmers.

[@clintmallon]

Haha!! I’m glad you enjoyed it. I’m not interested in the XO clipper or trimmer. Nothing against TPOB, but I already reviewed the Cocco Hyper Veloce trimmer (Which is where the XO came from), and I hated it. The TPOB X trimmer (Which is the Cocco BLDC) is where it’s at in my eyes. And… The LoPROFX trimmer and clipper are miles better than the XO trimmer and clipper. They’re two of the best barber tools ever created, right next to the JRL.

Good video, can you do the white tpob play vs a babyliss and jrl?

[@ReneeCaraway]

How heavy is the JRL? I prefer a lightweight clipper-like, even the Magic Clip seems a little heavy to me.

[@ReneeCaraway]

Looks like I asked that a little too soon.

[@namename1]

Better quiet than heavy for 200$

[@clintmallon]

@@ReneeCarawayI try and cover everything so that you don’t have to search everywhere to find what you need to hear. If you’re considering getting anything new, I can’t stress it enough… JRL and BaByliss make the best products. The 2020C isn’t heavy at all and I think you’d love it. The Wahl Magic Clip is another standout in the lightweight category. It’s excellent. The Boosted/Rebel are light too, but as you saw in the video… Gamma/Stylecraft is one of the worst manufacturers on the planet in reality. Caliber Pro and 4MAS are the only companies that are lower. Thank you for watching and Merry Christmas!

[@topcatgrindhard2959]

Get the Instincts. They’re lightweight if you don’t like heavy clippers.

[@clintmallon]

The Instinct is the #1 most problematic clipper ever sold, coming from one of the worst manufacturers I can name. It’s an overhyped kids toy, and a $40 Wahl clipper from Walmart is a better recommendation. I highly recommend staying away from the Instinct and Instinct X. They’re lightweight because they’re extremely low quality… just like everything else Stylecraft sells.

[@ex.wuizzz577]

Will you be doing any reviews on tpob machines? Like the x xo play etc?

[@joshuasmith3832]

Hey man! Can you find time to do a review on the Jrl Onyx? That would be amazing 🙏

[@steve_shoppe8016]

Don't you think that the lever just goes where it goes, does it translate to open not being as open (in mm) you'd have to measure it. But if you do and it's the same that just means fully open is a different angle on the lever. If anything fully open on a smaller angle is more efficient for your finger.

[@clintmallon]

I see what you’re saying. But the BaByliss definitely opens further than most. We’re talking mm’s here regarding the clicks and the guards. A mm here or there is important. I found that with the BaByliss, fully closed to fully open, translates to a one guard going from 1.0-1.9 so that the two guard can take it from there. Other clippers with a shorter throw might go from 1.0-1.7 (or 1.8) making the transition from guard to guard more difficult. Great question and thank you for watching.

[@hattersgonesuffer292]

I subscribed because of how real you were and talking your shit! I love it lets gooooo 👌🏾

[@clintmallon]

Haha!! I want to know the truth! People come here to figure out which “ONE” clipper and trimmer they should purchase. Most people don’t have $1000 to blow on five different tools. Trying to figure out who to believe on KZbin is what made me create this channel in the first place. I believed the hype, and it took me a really long time (and a ton of money) to realize what’s real and what’s fake. My only goal is to make that decision crystal clear for the people who are in the exact same boat as I was when I started.

[@WithoutprejudicebyJamie]

Clint I have no idea how to contact you I got the babylist Fx one set but it doesn't come with a station that the units( clippers trimmers sit in) I thought I seen the base on your page somewhere if I did could you please share where you got the stand. Thank you Good Sir.

[@clintmallon]

The FXOne models don’t have a stand that you can buy.

[@jacobsebastien3910]

What cuts closer to the skin babyliss low pro fx1 are Wahl Senior cordless? An which one has more power for cutting bulk hair

[@clintmallon]

The FXOne LoPROFX (the new Gray one) is only rivaled by the JRL Onyx. Those are the best two adjustable clippers on the market. The original LoPROFX (The blue one in this video) is definitely a better machine than a cordless Wahl Senior. I put this LoPROFX at #3 or #4, with the Senior somewhere in the top 10. Both have plenty of power to cut through bulk with zero problems. Depending on where you adjust the top blade on the LoPROFX or Senior (or any clipper for that matter), they will both cut as close as you zero gap them. Just be careful zero gapping a clipper. I don’t like doing it because it can make the guards rattle. I always leave my clippers the way they come in the box. If you’re asking which one I like more… Clearly, I think BaByliss and JRL are the kings across the board. Those are the only two brands that are getting my money from this point forward.

I like the click lever more than a floating lever. That’s just personal preference. The LoPROFX is top 4 clippers ever created. I love it and if you finished the video, it’s a 9.5/10.

[@clintmallon]

Great feedback right there! My biggest issue with Gamma/Stylecraft is all the KZbinrs overhyping them for monetary gain, instead of telling viewers the truth. If they simply said “Stylecraft is paying me for this review and it’s my job to tell you why I like them…” that would be commendable in my opinion. The problem is, they’re not doing that which is misleading to novice and intermediate barbers doing their research trying to find the best tools. Telling people Stylecraft is the best while JRL, BaByliss, and TPOB aren’t as good is flat out wrong. Stylecraft is not the best, the quality of their products is extraordinarily low, and they are middle of the line at best in reality. TPOB sells much higher quality products than Stylecraft for half the price. I find that doing barber product research on KZbin is a pretty nasty space because most of the stuff you hear is hidden behind a greedy smokescreen. Most of it isn’t real. The only purpose of my channel is to help people by providing the public with a resource that’s doing the exact opposite of what I found on KZbin while doing my initial research. I made so many mistakes following their advice and kept searching until I fully understood the truth. Thank you for watching.

No need. Nobody should be zero gapping a clipper. It makes the guards rattle and there’s no reason to do it. Use the corner of the clipper with the lever shut to remove the bald line.

Thanks man

[@rahsheedcameron455]

Appreciate the in depth content man

[@clintmallon]

It’s my pleasure. Glad it’s helpful.

[@mauriciohzamora4105]

Thanks a lot for your video, mate. I do feel these 2 clippers are amazing and the "new" versions (FxOne and Onyx) should mean improvements. However, when it comes to money for business, I usually prefer to go a little bit behind the hype. Not having the latest product means cheaper parts for prior models :) Finally, between these 2 clippers, I'd pick the Babyliss because to me it feels more ergonomic and balanced

The VGR onyx looking clippers go to 9000 rpm only $38

The jrl doesn't have a brushless motor. It has one of those smaller square motors

Everything ok Clint? It needs a new video. Thanks. 🙏🏻

[@clintmallon]

Hi Erik! I’m good!! Just have a lot going on. I appreciate you checking in on me. I have a new video coming out in a few days. After that, I’m going to do one on “the best trimmers in the world for the price.” Stay tuned!

[@MIGOPES]

If you honest and you know what you talking about, you probably saved my life.. I am broke I can say that.. still been killing my self to buy instinct X cause we low income me and my 4 other brothers and my kids.. I do their haircut.. and we wanted The Best investment even with all our financial situation. I was about to get both trimmer and clipper of Babyliss

[@clintmallon]

BaByliss, JRL, and TPOB over Stylecraft ALL DAY!

[@johannpaulotaganas843]

can you do fx pro boost+ vs instinct? videos are so informative, specially to me as a beginner barber all the way from Norway.

[@clintmallon]

Thank you for watching. I will not be doing the Instinct since it’s the #1 most problematic clipper and trimmer ever created. Truly a terribly made device. I don’t recommend it to anyone and don’t like Stylecraft products enough to spend my time reviewing any of them anymore. I have purchased eight products from them and they’re all pretty terrible aside from the Rebel Trimmer. Since you’re a new barber, I’ll help you out by telling you that the only five brands you should look at are these: 1. BaByliss (clippers and trimmers) 2. JRL (clippers and trimmers) 3. Oster (detachable clippers only) 4. TPOB (trimmers only) 5. Wahl (clippers only)

[@clintmallon]

@@LMD-27If you actually watched this video, you would know that the LoPROFX is less expensive than a Magic Clip and a Senior. Why not watch it instead of asking me to review more expensive products, since price is obviously a concern of yours?

[@LMD-27]

@@clintmallon I know, but they are not available in my country. There are only Wahl and babyliss clippers They are the best option right now. If I agree to buy Lo Pro or Jrl, I must buy them from Amazon with shipping fees from America, except Morocco. I will become poor. 😂

[@clintmallon]

@@LMD-27I understand. Between Wahl and BaByliss, I like BaByliss. If you can’t get a BaByliss, the Magic Clip and Senior are both excellent clippers. You can’t go wrong with any of them.

[@망구-n9d]

onxy review plz😂

[@lemmeseeit]

Bro, babyliss is owned by conair, I think your fanning out over the name. The JrL is way better than that basic lopro. All these machines, are off the same wheel, no new spokes. Some stylecraft gamma machines have more power, babyliss clippers are super loud, and the aesthetics fade super fast.

[@clintmallon]

Everyone has their own opinion and I respect yours. Thanks for watching!

[@vladankostevski5749]

JRL is perhaps better 😊

[@clintmallon]

They’re both stellar. Flip a coin.

[@russellsylve805]

Great video, And I totally agree with you on stylecraft/gamma (straight trash!). BUT TPOB deserves to be number two to the JRL’s. The LOPRO’s do have a longer stretch than the Trolls. But the Trolls still has a more premium feel to it. And yeah an interchangeable battery and longer stretch lever is awesome, but if TPOB did the same with the Trolls I know it would still have a more premium feel than the LOPRO FXone’s. I have almost all the clippers that TPOB so call copies, and the TPOB clipper is better and cheaper… I ain’t dick riding (pause), just giving my honest opinion.

[@clintmallon]

Thank you Russell! I appreciate you sharing your opinion and I really like TPOB products too.

The customer service from TPOB is shocking. I’ve had 4 clippers from them and had issues with every one. As for their customer service… shocking. Due to this I would never buy anything from them again.

[@clintmallon]

@@domenicoortolano I could see that. They’re a really small company and their website and customer service have a long way to go.

[@Dominicreviews]

I used the JRL 2020C for a year. It's an overrated Clipper in my opinion. Pros 4 hour run time Quietest clipper at its release time Lightweight Cons When you zero gap the clipper it makes the guards rattle in the closed position It started to snag my hair after a year. The ergonomics of the clipper is garbage, the shape isn't ideal. It's very slippery as well. I sold my JRL and got the style craft rogue. So far so good but I'll do a review after a year.

[@clintmallon]

When you zero gap any clipper, the guards will rattle. That will happen with any of them. There’s no way around it. 🤷‍♂️ Zero gapping a trimmer makes sense, but you should never fully zero gap a clipper. If you would have left it alone out of the box, it probably wouldn’t snag. Mine cuts like butter. It’s better at mowing through bulk than just about anything out there. The Onyx is even better. I hear you regarding the rest. I’m surprised you like the Rogue. I have a Stylecraft Ergo and Gamma X-Ergo, and I don’t like them at all. Magnetic motors have no torque and the ergonomics of them aren’t ideal for me. I guess that’s why they say “That’s what makes the world go round.” Merry Christmas and thanks for sharing!

[@Dominicreviews]

@@clintmallon I adjust the blade so it's easier to remove the bald line. We all have our opinions and yours is valid. The rogue so far has been working great but I've been using it for a couple months. Happy holidays and merry Christmas.

[@joeycardenas5126]

Everything stylecraft is trash i stopped buying there stuff after everything breaks down in weeks and colors all rub off!!! Stylecraft is so cheap

Couldn’t agree more. They’re towards the bottom of the barrel in reality. Too many KZbinrs lying to everyone to make a buck. Thanks for watching!
