In this video Shane from Wayne's barber shop in Groton CT, does a step by step skin fade using a oster 76er with detachable blades.

[@Bkilla217]

I love my 76 I swear by them!! Bought them back in barber school days still rocking with them 12 years later no problem

[@rhondalove1047]

Great tutorial Shane. I've used Oster clippers for the past 30+ years and love'um. Thanks for the reminder on safety and sani, which tends to get diluted when one's in a rush; but better safe than sorry. Thank you for your time and instruction on this.

[@garybates1604]

Shane the blend down method with 76 detachable blades is what I preach/teach also at every Barbershop ! The sanitation you use is freagib AWESONE

[@Lupillo107]

"Are you ready.............yes" 😂😂😂

[@thesuccessfulbarber]

The closer you are to skin the more blending room you need. If you think about the concept you can really smush the blend between a 1 1/2 and a 3 1/2 but you cant smush the 1.5 to skin or it looks like a bowl from a distance.... so the tighter blade of the guideline needs to be bigger and as the blades get longer they can be thinner guidelines. I struggled with this for years until I started stretching the first guideline with the one blade. That cut my time down by 15 to 20 minutes per cut

[@kevinluster9397]

I've cut hair almost 40 years now. I've always done my fades similar to you despite seeing others put a line in and then blend it. I find your method much better. Much easier to blend if you don't create a hard line to begin with. Well done sir

[@Virgil_k9]

Now that is a great video man!!! I been looking for a tutorial with the classic! Awesome job man. Great looking haircut.

[@mSantsnj]

This video.. WAS PHENOMENAL!! I’m 30, been cutting my hair since I was like 15. I’m in the military so it’s super easy. Weekly cut using my 5 Stars and the T Outliners. I’d say I get it nearly perfect EVERYTIME! Just like you said, you don’t get a cut like that overnight! Sometimes I find days I cut better than others so I just make a note on what I did differently. Granted, I don’t have much equipment but I might apply pressure differently or do something first that nets a better result! Again, awesome video man, love to see it 💪🏽

[@gee2891]

that looks awesome wade. great step by step tutorial.

[@myyt3824]

You’re right. I do skin fades all day on a military base. I average 3.75 cuts per hour. Quick, crisp, clean. I can absolutely take my time and take longer, but I can also turn and burn. Once you master your order of operation, it’s like riding a bike.

GREAT hair cut Shane!!! I LIKED & Subscribed. Buying another Classic 76 today. Mine got stolen flying home from Kandahar, Afghanistan. Made good money while stationed there with 5th Mountain Division during Operation Enduring Freedom, (OEF).

[@candydawn8065]

Great video! Exactly what I was looking for, Thank you

[@thesuccessfulbarber]

I use a similar method..I make my stripe with the 1 blade as big as I can. Like an inch an a 1/4 wide. That makes the skin line fading easier. I fade down from the top with detachable down from a 3 1/2 or 2 to 1a.... So fade down to 1a and use guide lines for skin and 1 blade

[@johnnydotz]

@5:04 it looked like he was eating a mouse!

[@bradgotch]

Thank you for posting Ive been cutting my own hair since 1990 i live in Australia and have only had Wahl clippers. I have attempted fades but as i never grow my hair longer than number 4 on top i am limited with experimentation I cut my brothers hair and thats about it for customers but am interested in pursuing barbering. I just bought Oster clippers from the states and had to purchase a 120v to 240 v step down to work them over here and was unaware of the blade sizes (poor research). I love the feel and closeness of cut without the guard. Love the Oster 76.

[@ezbladeshavingproducts]

thanks for watching!

I was like "Damn! Those two little fans hijacked that other fan"!

[@meanbean98]

hahaha lol the reason you noticed that ceiling fan was bc the videotaping was horrible ...when making a video it is very important to have someone with a steady hand or tripod videotaping as well as lighting ... I was very interested in what the barber was saying but kept getting off track bc I am pretty good at both and in one hand I wanted to watch him do the haircut so I can brush up my skills on clippers and on the other hand I did videography as well so I am sorry but it drove me nuts! you want to videotape the subject as close as possible standing further back not crowding the guy speaking and you can get same results just zooming it in and keeping it where you can see both we don't care about the whole shop just what he's talking about and seeing closeups of what he is doing.@ 7:27 was the perfect crop for the video that's how close you want to tape not looking like your waiting for someone coming through the door is frustrating bc I wanted to see what he was doing close up

[@NDG7583]

That's why I got into the industry too.....because I feel it's art.......💈👌....peace out from Mx.

[@barberjeff67]

Great tutorial! When you use the 1 detachable blade, was it the 1 or 1A? Also, are the cordless seniors zero gapped? Thanks in advance!

Nive cut, what blades do you use

[@steelcityaly]

Wish I had gone to barbering school instead of Cosmetology school. Those razor bald fades are the best! Great job!

[@stonecoldcutta]

In Alabama, a cosmetologist only has to take a 16 hour straight shave course to become certified. Check with your state board😁

[@Tigerbalm1310]

You don’t learn squat at barber school. Being a cosmetologist in this field is a win. Razor fades just come with practice and experience in the field

[@camerong4944]

I am in love with that ceiling fan.

[@wilsonochoamedina2261]

Hello my friend. Isn't that clipper an Oster A5 with detachable blades? Insn't it for exclusively veterinary use? I love the sound it makes when working and it seems to be very though. Nice haircut.

[@andrepoole2933]

Do you only use the hair brush to brush off clipper?

[@carolinabarbershop]

Spraying right before you go to the clients head is more of a reassurance for the client as it needs to sit for 10 minutes in order to kill viruses.

[@iRecordOS]

i dont think any barber in the world is gonna wait 10 minutes.

You spray it/soak it for 10 mins, and have a second set. Hello ppl… we are the originators in sanitation, sterilization, and surgery. Be clean. Don’t make excuses. The hand sanitizing and spray in front a client is a show of cleanliness. If you’re madd busy. Be EVEN more clean. Slow is smooth, smooth is fast. And a shitty barber’s client list doesn’t last….Epecially if you’re in a metropolis where there’s maddd other options. And if you’re in a small to medium sized town, shitty barbers MAKE PEOPLE learn how to cut at home.

Is using the senior like using an Oa? Why use the senior? What's the equivalent? I only have the 76 with detachable blades and I'm new to the barber world and trying to figure out how to use these things. Thanks for this tutorial very helpful!

[@zoejorgenson9458]

If you want to blend with your oster76 it's best to use a 1 blade over comb because it won't leave many teeth marks, but every barber should have a liner, a rotary and a magnetic/pivot motor clipper. The 76 is very powerful and it's great for bulk removal, and you can 100% complete a full haircut with them but it's also very heavy so to relieve your wrists and get a nice easy blend it's good to use something like wahl senior

[@zoejorgenson9458]

GretchenConlin also you want a clipper with a lever because it will open from about a 0 to just under a 1 to help you easily get the line out. To do that with detatchables you would fade down from the 1, to the 0a to the 000 to skin and depending on how tight you are maybe even a 00000

[@GretchenConlin]

Thank you!

Great video.. Do those steps work the same way for coarse hair

[@thesuccessfulbarber]

You mean black people? Yes and no.. With black hair you sometimes need to cut with the grain and smooth areas out instead of always going against the grain

[@eevee4408]

coarse hair is thick and yes but you need to go over it several times

[@ESimms]

[@rayromerojr]

[@roberthohne802]

Fantastic haircut-- great tutorial. I love skipping the 1 1/2 and going right to the 1A. Although I must disagree that it is "gross" or "illegal" to use a properly disinfected straight razor on a client. In fact it is a far superior tool to use than the flimsy injectable blades. Check with your state board, but as far as I know, I think only Rhode Island explicitly states that you must use disposable razors.

[@nund1Q]

Robert Hohne yes. I am from Rhode Island and we are not allowed to use them unless they are brought from the client and used only on them

[@acemogany6369]

I've never been this in-depth and doing a blend or a fade I should say since the pandemic and my brother stopped cutting my hair I haven't been to a barber in years I have been to BoRics when they used to have them here in Michigan it was one specifically I used to like to go to the no longer there been about two years since they've been closed down I think 2019 then shortly after the pandemic hit so I've been doing it on my own now for going on 2 years but I bought a set of Clippers probably close to 10 years ago I was going to try to do it and I didn't have good luck with it but now I'm a lot more experienced and I feel a lot better doing it myself I save money takes me a little bit longer but also I know what I'm doing and I don't have to worry about anybody saying anything to me don't really have to worry about nothing just do it myself can you know what for the everyday it looks good I haven't been to an actual Barber and probably close to 20 years

[@paulmaloney2383]

I watch lots of videos on doing hair fades and I get tips from most that I watch, so it's nice too see fades done different ways, I like his technique but I find leaving the hair on the bottom distracting while during the entire hair cut, great video tho

Fading with detachable clippers is something that is not impossible, but you need the perfect client head for it, otherwise you'll just find yourself coming right back to adjustable clipper, to clean the cut up.

The 76 will always leave a line on certain heads

Why do so many people have to be so critical about the way someone gets a Great job done. every person in the hair industry has a way to do something different than another, and thankfully so!! This was a beautiful cut, who gives a flying crap about how many brands of clippers and blades are used..all the criticizers should pop out their own video of the "perfect way" of doing the same cut as this one...give the dude a break!!!

[@orangecounty7144]

Nobody is criticizing the fade, it's a great cut but, just like my self, I clicked on this video cause of the title, "a fade with detachable blades" and he also used a t-blade and a senior. Wether a click bait or honest mistake with title, it is what it is...

[@Oldsaltybarber]

Your video says fading with detachable clippers but yet you use an adjustable 🤣

[@BobaDavis]

To be honest, it's something you can do on some people but most, you may as well use an adjustable clipper, because you would only have to do it for a clean up.

[@guardiandogoargentinos1385]

That's called "fading down" or "the fade down method" how i learned

[@alphacharlie65ms]

I am going to try this. The barber shop I am at, doesn't want us to use guards. I am a guard guy. I am willing to try new things. It's hard to beat guards.

[@PaulMorrisseyIRL]

Go for it man, totally agree I'm all bout the guard too!

[@crescentcityhairconnection6871]

alphacharlie65ms detachable Blade’s are the best. You don’t need guard. I work at one of the oldest barber shops in New Orleans and the best barber there can do 90% of his cuts with a oster number 1 and a wahl clipper comb. It’s pretty amazing.

[@rich068]

Really should spray your blades after use not before. The sprays require 10inutes to completely work. And for those saying "I couldn't wait that long between cuts" you're not....youre using your number 2 then brushing (or I prefer compressed air) then spray and let sit till you use your number two on the next client. Use your guides for as long as you need them but once you're done put them away it wastes time touching things twice.

[@BobaDavis]

It's really not possible to fade with a detachable blade clipper. There is too much variance between the blade sizes, to try to reconcile those without an adjustable clipper. Detachable blade clippers are good for removing bulk or a single level cut, that's about it.

[@Chickenmomcarolsteve]

Why take so long to do a simple fade. Use your guards, hold your clippers properly, it is not necessary to grind them into his scalp. Start with your longest guard then go down to 1/4 then to less to fade to zero. Shave the neck and trim out finish top with shears and thinners or a longer guard, cross check to balance and take out any points finish with your your T- edgers. I am a Master Barber too and I agree with you aboutkeeping your impliments clean and hand washing also.

[@makeupyourpower]

Hell 👍

[@josequezada7010]

He never showed the back of the head plus he didn’t zoom in the fade to see if there were any lines might’ve been there .
