[@yogaphile7833]

7:58 Did you notice that you started to scratch your nose (twice) and the back of your hand, and avert your eyes, over the course of just 40 secs., here...? Students of body language will tell you this is a sign of deceptiveness and dishonesty.

[@kikado3]

That's cute. Its called anxiety induced improv. Narrating without a script. Did you notice all the comments from everyone who purchased and agreed with me. I wonder if they ever scratched their nose before. I also have plenty of time to go back and forth with you too.

[@yogaphile7833]

Did you feel at all conflicted at this point in your improvisation?

[@kikado3]

Nope never. Did you get a chance to read comments?? And my review went against the grain on what most people wanted to hear. That's where I think most of you intent is coming from.

[@yogaphile7833]

​@@kikado3 I think you're reading more into my two questions than is there. I noticed you scratching and averting when it came time for the final recommendation. I find body language fascinating, and know it is informed by the subconscious mind. I wondered if you were aware of having done this. You don't seem so fascinated by the topic as am I.

[@noedidit.]

Waited for a real reviewer that wasn't sided with anyone. Copping for sure now

[@yogaphile7833]

What does this mean?

[@myparrots1]

@@yogaphile7833means he is honest with his reviews, not always recommending one brand as being the best because someone might be affiliated with that brand and get paid.

One of the best

[@Maxthemartyr]

This seemed sincere and the reviews are good. I'm buying for home use. Good Luck on your channel!

[@kikado3]

Thank you very much!

[@muzi012]

Great review, keeping it 100! Do the Whal guards fit these clippers?

[@kikado3]

Yes they do. The 1.5 guard did get funky at times though. Also I noticed I had no issue at all on the new white plays with the same guard.

[@felg9819]

After I got these, input away my wahl seniors. These are no joke. Super quiet and cuts through hair without an issue

[@levelwu]

Thanks for the review and demo, much appreciated. What trimmer would you recommend to pair with these? Looking to buy a gift set but TPOB Play Barber is no longer available. All I am seeing is "TPOB Slime 2" that includes a Reaper. Thank you!

[@kikado3]

No problem. I’d have to look at their website. I’ve only tried the play clipper and the x deluxe trimmer which is an awesome option to pair with these. Everything else I have no clue about because I haven’t purchased yet. Great prices though.

[@levelwu]

@@kikado3 Hey thanks for the quick reply, I will check out x deluxe line. I was looking into either Wahl or Andis but man did this world change, so many options :)

[@CobbInterscope]

Is this just a different shaped jrl 2020c? I ordered the white one will probably do a tear down of the 2 clippers

[@kikado3]

That I can’t exactly say. I hear a lot of people mention something like that but I don’t really like jrl but love these. Maybe the body is the difference??? Idk.

[@CobbInterscope]

@kikado3 yeah the price and the shape would make this a better clipper by default

[@Andygoy672]

why is it when anyone tries to compare tpob to jrl they try make it sound like its same as the 5 year old jrl to make it sound worse lmao. play is that factories latest and greatest just give the flowers its an awesome clipper like he says in the video!

[@CobbInterscope]

@@Andygoy672 the onyx is like less then a year old I'm pretty sure

[@kikado3]

Exactly. Thanks bro.

[@BrilliantOpenings]

Such an honest and unbiased review, awesome man, I’m just starting so I’m going to pick these up as my mains.

[@kikado3]

Best of luck I hope you like them

[@ResplendentRaider]

I’m not a barber, I just need a cordless clipper for beard trims at home. I was for sure getting the Wahl Senior until I came across this…which one?

[@kikado3]

Wahl seniors are a great clipper. The Plays are cheaper in cost and better overall. Nevermind just the battery life alone on the Wahl is 70-80 minutes where as the Play clippers battery life is 300 minutes and is much quieter. These are just facts.

[@ResplendentRaider]

@@kikado3 I just ordered the Plays..good looking out✊🏾

[@bg307]

Your one of the realest ones out there man ,been subscribed for years now. Thanks man, ps. I just got the X trimmer yesterday off Amazon.

[@kikado3]

Thanks bro. I appreciate your support over the years. How’s that x trimmer??? More to come too

[@danielmelgoza6845]

I always keep going back to the wahl 5 star senior! Lol😂

[@deanspam7049]

Are these better than the? Wahl senior cordless clippers? Or how do they compare?

[@kikado3]

The battery last longer, they’re quieter and the blades better. I do love the seniors tho

[@deanspam7049]

@@kikado3 thanks very much for the help and reply really appreciate it. Have you tried the x deluxe also. If so what are your thoughts on then, do they stay cooler then the senior ones?

[@anthonyzamudio1056]

Trimmers bro! What's your opinion on soft trimmer and a hitter

[@kikado3]

As far as? If you mean which trimmer hit and which trimmer is safe all around I’d say hitter would be sabers with mini x pro blade. Safe all around would be andis m force outliners

[@kinghorsetiger]

I heard the troll was good. How does this compare to the tpob troll clipper?

[@kikado3]

Haven’t tried the troll clipper yet.

[@RalfeOrtiz]

Do the Babyliss or Wahl premium guards fit on the TPOB Play? Thanks!

[@kikado3]

They do but the 3/16 gets loose for some reason.

[@RalfeOrtiz]

@@kikado3 thank you!

[@kikado3]

No problem bro

[@RalfeOrtiz]

@@kikado3 I ordered the TPOB Play around 5am today, and got it 2 hours later through Amazon prime. Talk about insanely fast shipping! It’s currently on sale at Amazon too, and I could not ignore it. Lol After inspection, it certainly feels like a premium clipper and I’m thoroughly impressed. 👍

[@kikado3]

@@RalfeOrtiz​​⁠glad to hear. I got some hate for telling the truth on this clipper. Glad I have a bunch of people who actually ordered it and agreed with me. 🙌🏼

[@AlexisTorres-z2h]

What type of guards yall recommend buying?

[@donaldpasserelli3529]

Whatsup ricardo been watching your videos for years your a great barber . In your opinion what are the best trimmers on market and best clippers ?

[@kikado3]

Thank bro. To me the best trimmers are the stylecraft savers with the mini x pro blade and clippers are tie between caliber 50 cal limited edition and tpob play clippers.

[@artthebarber]

Best bang for your buck clipper even if it were$300

[@jgrdan]

zero gap or are they good out of the box?

[@kikado3]

I always zero gap

[@goran1986m]

What cordless clipper would you recommend, Wahl Magic Clip or Wahl Senior ?

[@kikado3]

This one’s better than both. But wahl senior over magic clip

[@spizzlo]

Love him or hate him, TPOB is putting out some fire products lately. And when you see that these are being sold for $125, how can you justify buying SC? A lot of these clippers are being made literally in the same factory. I mean come on it’s an easy decision at this point. Hope to see a trimmer coming next.

[@kikado3]

Next review is on the xo deluxe trimmer

[@DoctorPerc]

And even then the Play was made from scratch. And still being sold for $125? TPOB is for the people!!

[@finoistimeless]

What guards can it use, only the ones it came with? I thought i saw it wont use the XO guards... just in case one breaks, do i have to only use theirs and do a re-order

[@kikado3]

I’ve been using the wahl guards. It seems like they take those style and any other like them. Babyliss etc.

[@unwealthybarber]

Every 3 months a new cordless clipper comes out that’s supposed to be the best, in reality the best tools are still the corded Andis Masters, Wahl Senior, Oster 76 and Andis T-Outliner

[@kikado3]

Corded for the win bro. Love every one you mentioned

[@unwealthybarber]

I just had to return top tier cordless because they die after an hour and the others I got from big brands pull hair or get super loud after a while. There’s no point buying them anymore, corded might be annoying but least they work and last years. Started over 15 years ago with the same set up I’m using now. Wahl Super Taper, Oster 76, Andis Outliner, Andis Masters, Oster Fast Feeds and the Andis Foil Shaver

[@nic8754]

You review. Did you take them apart !

[@kikado3]

If they were free I would have.

[@RohamBroccoli]

Play vs XO? Thx bro

[@kikado3]

The co clipper I do not have yet. Maybe in the near future I will pick up and do a video

[@BL-pv7et]

Whats the purpose of having 2 different speeds I never knew clippers came like that..Wow I love the price and the blade looks amazing!!!

[@kikado3]

I know the higher speed is for mowing down the hair and I use the lower speed to fade because it takes less hair per swipe. So I always do the fading on the lower speed

[@BL-pv7et]

@@kikado3 oh ok that makes sense thanks for replying 👍

[@CoolVee10]

I totally agree

[@carlbrown7572]

What's the correct name of the Clipper

[@kikado3]

TPOB Play clipper

[@jaymosley1696]

Do you like the Play over the Calibers 50 Cal?

[@kikado3]

I have them about even. Play is quieter but battery doesn’t last as long as limited edition 50 cals

[@kikado3]

Wahl style

[@kr115]

Enjoy your videos, very informative. I'll have to get this clipper. It would be my first cordless. Currently have the Wahl Senior, Oster Fast Feed, and my personal favorite the Andis Fade Master. BTW, you have a killer beard. Much better than mine. Appreciate your videos. Keep doing what you're doing.

[@kikado3]

Thanks buddy. You have the original killer clipper setup. Some of my favorites. And my beard just got hit with the bigen dye for the first time. Glad you noticed.

[@kr115]

​@@kikado3In your opinion, is the TPOB superior to the Andis Fade Master? Just wondering if I should get it and spend the $$ on it. Appreciate your help!

[@kikado3]

If your master has the fade blade on it o see this being better. I don’t like the corded masters because andis dropped the ball on them being loud and destroying them doing the noise fix. Straight downhill for me. I would say if you like the masters stick with them but you will probably like these better if you needed to upgrade. Plus they’re cheap in price.

[@kr115]

​@@kikado3Thank you for your response and appreciate your perspective. The click system does seem better on the TPOB.

[@kr115]

​@@kikado3Also, you use rhe low setting very often, or primarily use the high setting?

Not at all. Blade will barely get warm after continued use. Best I’ve seen to be honest

Man I went on Amazon and I purchased them bad boys a month before I even got them because they were on back order but let me tell you well not you because obviously you already know lol. Top of the line beast clippers out here right now and I don’t think no one’s come close at all all around favorite piece of machinery. If you don’t have them I’m telling you right now go get them. I paid $130 and they are better then the others that I paid so much more for. Great but you won’t be disappointed

[@kikado3]

Bro thanks for that. I’m glad you put up a review because I’m all for saving money for a quality piece of equipment. Thanks for the backup bud.

[@chrisoler8237]

No worries bro! I’m glad your honest about your review and I know that because I have them as well. Honesty from barbers is a great but hard to find belief because you don’t know if their getting paid buy big businesses or if their just telling the truth. Good to know your telling the truth lol.

Have both, both are very similar but the ergonomics are better on the tpob especially with the grip sometimes i feel like im gonna drop the onyx

Well this opens up the discussion of Saving 60ish bucks and having a better ergonomic body. Still might cop those onyx tho.

[@barber.jason323]

Idk are y’all paid to advertise his stuff? I tried them and not for me. I sent them back to Amazon. Every new barber buys TBOP because they aren’t making money as a new barber, but then send TPOB clippers and trimmers back.

Don’t get it twisted. Everything that comes on my channel is 100 percent authentic. My opinions don’t have to align with anyone else’s. What you see is what you get. I don’t get money from anyone and don’t plan on it. I typically turn stuff like that down to remain on my own. Never a question
