Indeed we can. But I still can not comprehend the fact that he said 1/5 becomes a 2 with open guard. Because it becomes nearly 1.5 mm less than a 2 when it's open guard. Any person who started their training in a professional barbering school would know the difference it makes 🤷🏻

Hi, thanks for posting this video. I’ve got a good idea of wahl clipper guards. But still a little confused with one transition/combination… I saw another video it explains from #2 guard” to a “#1 guard” is by using the 1.5 guard lever half open. (Assuming the 2 and the 1 were lever closed) As you may have noticed most KZbin fade tutorials the authors use #2 + 1# OPEN! So my question is…. What would you use blending between these two?
@ezbladeshavingproducts Жыл бұрын

@eeiko321 Жыл бұрын
@@ezbladeshavingproducts thanks for your reply. Yes I understand the video shows the fundamentals of clipper numbers + levers. And me as an amateur who loves learning to cut my own and son’s hair.. I’ve come to realise that with Fades….there’s factors that can complicate transitions/blend such as; hair type, hair texture, hair color and of course…head shape. But how would you personally recommend blending (or getting rid of a line) between #2 Guard OPEN ~ #1 Guard OPEN? = Eg would that be #2 Guard CLOSED ? Or #1 1/2 Guard Half-OPEN I can’t seem to figure that one out. Sorry for my question, i probably should’ve explained a bit. (I know they say “playing around with the lever” may likely eventually “get rid of the line”.. but the thing is; when some of us are cutting our own hair.. with limited; lighting, vision and reach… it be even harder trying to tender with lever-plays.. in addition) I’m just thinking it be easier to find the precise half-way point and then work within a narrow distance…than a large variation and end up messing things up if done wrong. I’ve also come to realise that bald fading doesn’t have to be so complicated (and overkill) as those tutorials that teach to “close the lever; little by little… close it like x4 or 5 times and passing the line“.. it can be done with couple of guards and minimal lever movement and achieve the same. I’d be grateful if you could offer some more guidance. Thank you again.

@eeiko321 Жыл бұрын
@@thugnasty5242 no not really…. I’m not a barber, just learning to fade my own hair and my son’s. Because if you think about it for a moment, 1.5 guard OPEN is basically a 2 guard closed. But no one ever uses a 2 guard closed as a guideline when fading. I’ve also found it depends a bit on a persons hair density, thickness… So between 2# OPEN > 1# OPEN I’ve personally just kept using 1.5 guard half-closed to closed…you’ll have to play around with, lines don’t always disappear easy… unlike how easy the KZbin barbers show case it… My question now is between #2 OPEN > #3 OPEN… (some KZbinrs jump from 2 to 4.. skipping the 3) that line is the hardest to get rid of… no matter what I do… it doesn’t go… I’m forced to have to just keep at it with thinning shears w/comb to try soften that transition… and it ends up looking either uneven or … just “meh Ok…..” looking in the end

Hmm, so this is pretty much what I used to do with my last pair of clippers and all seemed good. Had to get a new pair, Wahl Designer, and it seems I have to work extra hard to get the line out of my head. Is it common for taper levers to be off?? Been thinking of just getting a new pair. These clippers don't have hard stop notches on the lever either.
