Learning your Metal , Plastic and Magnetic Guards 101 |HD| Beginners Guide @AB.THEBARBERSCHAIR

FOLLOW ME ON INSTAGRAM FOR DAILY HAIRCUT PICS!
@AB.THEBARBERSCHAIR
In this video I will describe each guard from a number double 0 to a number 3 and how the metal guards cut shorter than the number they have on the faceplate of the blade.
METAL GUARD 3 3/4 = NUMBER 3 GUARD PLASTIC AND MAGNETIC
METAL GUARD 3 1\2 = NUMBER 2 GUARD PLASTIC AND MAGNETIC
METAL GUARD 2 IS LOWER THAN A PLASTIC #2 BUT HIGHER THAN A PLASTIC 1.5 PLASTIC OR MAGNETIC GUARD (IN BETWEEN)
METAL GUARD 1A = WAHL NUMBER 1 GUARD AND ANDIS NUMBER 1 MAGNETIC GUARD
METAL GUARD #1 = (1/16 (#1) PLASTIC WAHL) AND 1/16 NUMBER 0 ANDIS MAGNETIC GUARD

[@naseanferguson8715]

I just started barber school and my teacher went over the guards i was lost as hell but then i found your video and you explained it better than my teacher and now i understand a lot more than before thanks bru.

[@BREEDBAZA]

NaSean Ferguson No problem good luck!

[@ricothebarbercle7110]

Nice!! Thanks This explains why people would think the cut was shorter than expected with the metal guards

[@BREEDBAZA]

Big difference bro

[@jerseybamboogie]

Best explained video out of all others on youtube.

[@BREEDBAZA]

Thank you bro

[@Barca57fan]

Excellent video the only one by far that thoroughly explains how much each blade cuts.

[@cassandradunham6200]

Thank you for explaining this. I'm so sharing with the girls I work with, a lot of us have the oster 76 it gives a smooth cut.

[@krayzaydawg]

Very helpful, thank you so much man!

[@Getloose360]

How did you better at cutting hair with the detachable clipper??

[@grateful7738]

So do you prefer the detachable blades over the plastic guard's?

I like the way you explained it bro. I might need to watch this a couple more times though lol

[@BREEDBAZA]

Lol man at the end of the video my camera started getting hot so I started talking really fast . I need to get that fixed it made me rush the video smh. Haha but if u have any questions hit me up bro

[@jimareas]

Can you put any plastic guard on the oster blades ?

[@ismeniadane8647]

thank you for your help!!!

[@Sleepygamer93]

And thanks for the info I have the bgrv and I really wanna get familiar with detachables

[@BREEDBAZA]

Yea bro the bgr are good clippers the supras are cordless and pack more power . I just started using them in barber school man . Start slow , give someone a 3 on top and then try fadeing the whole cut with the metal guards . Then just clean up your fade with the masters, Oster fast feeds or whatever u have . Then move up to fadeing with long hair . Hmu if u get stuck

[@killawill713]

so if a 0A is equivalent to no guard all the way open and a 1 detachable is the same as 1/16th, then what is equivalent to a 1/16th half way open in the wahl guard system?

[@andrewthebarber8825]

That was a great video. I truly believe the 31/2 detachable blade is like the Andis purple #2 guard lever open with a taper blade.

[@rudeman9514]

Do you have another video explains more sizes on the metal guards ?

[@troysanchez6477]

The best info . Thanks you bro

[@BREEDBAZA]

I got you bro

[@DaYungSinChrg]

Peace my dude. Thanks for posting this video. Very helpful as I’m starting to transition from adjustables to detachable blades. I have a question tho.. is the 1 detachable more like the 0 guard, open on a andis or wahl?

[@BREEDBAZA]

Just about bro. Theres a slight difference

[@Sleepygamer93]

Nicely put together video! I liked how you explained all the of the guards & detachable blade sizes. When you went to barber school did you have all the blade sizes ? Or did you buy one little by little until you had every detachable blade ?

[@BREEDBAZA]

Thanks bro! I need to get better explaining I feel like I say um too much haha. I'll get there . But when I started barber school back in 2010. They gave me every metal blade except the 3 3/4 , I bought that blade from eBay my self . Each metal blade can range from $25-$35 a blade . They can get expensive . But I recommend learning how to fade with the metal guards when u can , it will change your fade and give the detail it needs .

[@route3eb]

They're definitely an investment, but so worth it. I have clients that prefer coming to me vs other stylists who use plastic guards. Your clients will notice the difference. It's definitely a little intimidating at first switching from plastic to metal, I made a little cheat sheet that I kept out of their sight, just for me that has the conversions to plastic in case I forget.

[@SpiritGuide11111]

Great video I have been using the classic for the last 30 years and been a stylist for 40 years and just worked with a group of barbers and never used an adjustable blade before. I am still getting used to it and am to free handing everything but with bald fades being so popular and time consuming I see tue benefits for having all tools in your arsenal. I have always felt the Oster 1 was too close so that was good to hear. If it was a new client I always started with a 1 1/2. So clear and informative THANK You 😊

[@gabriellugo3570]

Great video. Oster blades or andis ceramic blades for a andis supra zr?

[@BREEDBAZA]

Gabriel Lugo hey man either or. I use the Oster blades with my andis Supra and have no problems. Just personal preference but I would say if I don't have either yet . Go for the andis blades for the Supra

word g i needed this info so bad! its been buggin me for 20yrs now haha

[@BREEDBAZA]

ZuluSpear lol cool man

[@Mike-hy8cs]

I always simplify it by just thinking of it as 1 size lower. So a 1blade is like a half guard length more or less. A 2 blade is like using a 1.5guard more or less.

[@barbero7946]

Thank you so much for the great information! You clarified it to simple terms!

[@BREEDBAZA]

Barber O for sure man. Remember these Guards cut very different on straight hair. Some ppl go by the measurement. But it’s deceiving

got a question when u doing a bald fade start off with a 00000 then go 0000 would the 0000 push up ur first guideline u put in with the 00000 make the fade go up higher

[@BREEDBAZA]

Dondon Trill the 00000 cuts shorter than the 0000. So it’ll be a little longer than the 0000 but not to noticeable

[@iAkuto]

bro you made it wayyy simpler. Thank you so much You should have an actual class.

[@krunktina69]

Thank you! When I fade with wahl I’ll use no guard closed no guard open than a 1/16th closed than 1/16th open. Depending on if they want a 1 or a 2 than I’ll proceed to my 1 guard closed than open. And so on so forth going up. TodAy I bought the Oster Octane and I have a triple zero I bought a 0A, a 1, 1 1/2, and a 2. Can u or Do you make a video showing the blade sequence In respect to a fade. ??

I will if you’d like

Can you use the oster metal 3 3/4 detachable blade on Andis bgrv?

[@PhillyTechCheck]

Using clips to fade is pretty easy for me but I'm trying to step my game up with the titans with just the detachable metal blades. Can you go in order and leave out the blades I don't need? Thanks

[@kissme4492]

Wow great video. My Andis #4 says 13mm and so does my Oster 76 Blade 3 3/4 also labeled 13mm. Not true ? I just ordered an Ultraedge blade 5/8 HT from Andis. Would that be equal to a #4 Andis purple ? Thanks.

[@BREEDBAZA]

That is correct

[@Sleepygamer93]

Hey i saw on Amazon there is a Ultra Edge Detachable blades 2 3/4, 1 3/4, & a 1 1/4 are those needed in your collection ? Or is all the detachable blades you covered in this video is all the blades you need ?

[@BREEDBAZA]

The ones I covered get the job done perfect and is all u need . The ones you mentioned are cool to have but not necessary

[@tsims614]

If im using the wahl guards an hate the grey half guard wat detachable blade will bypass that so thatvi dnt have to use that guard

The number 1 guard is what you'll need to use . the metal #1 NOT the 1A. But be careful with the number 1 use the corners till u get the feel for that blade .

[@ismeniadane8647]

if i want a true number 3 with a Oster 76 what guard should i use? i have a number 3 which is probably going to be shorter since you say 3 3/4 is a true 3 cut i agree with you they cut shorter as what the number says on metal thanks for this clear explanation!!!

[@BREEDBAZA]

Ismenia Dane Yes a true 3 is the metal 3/34 The 3/12 will cut short around a true number 2

[@GirlInThe415]

A true number 3 with the detachable blades is the 3 1/2. True number 4 will be the 3 3/4.

And that 3 3/4 blade by Andis on Amazon is it only for animals/pets ? Cuz that's what it's all saying when you read about it ? Can you use it on human hair? Or should I for that blade just get the oster 3 3/4 blade ?

Lori marissaa I recommend the Oster octanes . But the 76ers won't let u down.

[@fatsbigo]

Actually the Detachable Blade numbers are the TRUE NUMBERS. You have it backwards. The plastic guards are bad misrepresentations of the Detachable Blades. Most all Adjustable blade clippers start at 000 and end at 0A or 1. Most Wahls open to about 0A while the Andis Masters open to 1. If you check the millimeter measurements on your guards you will notice that they correspond to a specific blade it's trying to represent. The Wahls guards millimeter measurements are the farthest off. The half guard should cut the same as a detachable 0A, but it cuts a little shorter than a Detachable Blade TRUE #1. The Wahls 1 guard is the only guard that is a correct measurement. The "Guard system" are all in 8th of inches. 1 = 1/8 of an inch, all the way up to the #8= 1 inch. The same goes for the "Blade system" 1A = 1/8 of an inch. 2 is 2/8 of an inch. 3 1/2 is 3/8 of an inch. 3 3/4 is 4/8 of an inch. 5/8 blade is exactly that, 5/8 of an inch, and the 3/4 blade is 6/8 of an inch a True #6. Barber's today don't invest in their trade so noone uses blades any more. They use these cheap plastic guards. This is why Wahl has made the 1/2 and the 1 1/2. The 1/2 is a 1 and the 1 1/2 guard is the 1 1/2 blade. The Wahl guards never blended together correctly so they added what was missing from their Guard System The clipper open is 0A so they added the 1/2 guard to fill in between the 0A and the 1/8. They had the 1A in their 1/8 so they added the 1 1/2 guard to fill the gap between the 1A and the 2. Like I said before all the guards cut far longer than they should. Also the 00 0 and the "Half" are actually blade sizes. At one point in time Oster made 0 and 00 blades. The "half is what the Masters open is, so it would be a #1 instead of a 0A. If you ever get your hands on the the origin Model M Masters you will notice that the notches are 000,00,0 and1/2.

[@BREEDBAZA]

Osita Echebiri yea i already mentioned that in the comments. Depends what blade u have on the masters . Improved blade is a 1. Surgical blade is a half. I'm just going by with my experience. I know all the ("). It says them on the plastic guards. Clients don't know the details it's either a number. Just wanted to save some ppl before they cut to short with the metal guards in the future.

[@BREEDBAZA]

Osita Echebiri I agree. I never use guards. I just use them to cut the top of the head or to start my guideline. To finish my cuts I use clipper over comb with the 1-16 and 1-8. But that's advance . Just wanted to cover the basics but I agree

[@crazyizzy3609]

dope video tho.

[@crazyizzy3609]

those metal guards are dope as fuck. just a bit confusing for us beginners. I can get the hang of em.

[@BREEDBAZA]

Ismael Gonzalez It takes time bro. A lot of clippers opened and closed have different levels but once u cut everyday it becomes second nature to know the feel of the blade. Good luck bro

[@Sleepygamer93]

No it's okay il explain again, I have a black guy hair, I cut a 000 detachable blade on the top of his head, what would be the blades I use to fade the hair into the 000 blade at the top. I hope that makes more sense

[@BREEDBAZA]

If ur fading with metal guards it's a 0000 or 00000 . For the sides . Do u happen to have any clippers like Wahl senior Andis master or Oster fast feed ? Doesn't have to be those clippers but something like them ?

[@bxriver]

Would the metal blades work on a Wahl Predator?

[@BREEDBAZA]

bxriver yes, it looks like the Wahl predator takes the "competition series" blades

[@bxriver]

The Barber's Chair Would an oster or andis blade work? I can't see a 1 1/2 blade in the wahl range.

[@BREEDBAZA]

bxriver this is a number 4 for the Wahl competition series blades www.petsupplies4less.com/Wahl-7F-Full-Medium-Coarse-Ultimate-Detachable-Blade_p_5572.html?preselopt=15810&gclid=CNHN4brOidICFQcFaQodabsJzw Notice it said "4mm" that is a 1.5. Google Oster blades and read the "mm" number on the blade to help u find what u need. It should work . Most detachable clippers all fit. I'm 99% sure it would fit

[@bxriver]

Thank you very much! Going to get the Wahl 7F

[@BREEDBAZA]

bxriver No problem. Look at the Wahl plastic guards they come one colors 1-8 and look at the mm number to compare to the metal blades and you'll be set

[@luigi2018]

Are those metal guards necessary?

[@BREEDBAZA]

Lord of Darkness not necessarily bro but recommend for professional. Whatever tools you feel work best for you. But at least give it a shot

[@MrKylez98]

Check the mm readings on each blade/ guard. 2 is a 2. 3.5 is a 3. 3.75 is a 4

[@BREEDBAZA]

Kyle Ziemer y’all are too worried about the slightest cm. Just cut it’s all near the same. Everyone’s opinions different . It’s the same. Doesn’t make a HUGE difference

[@barrymonroy7138]

Yes!! thanks bro. Am going to start cutting my own hair. It's getting to expensive

[@GirlInThe415]

A true number 3 with the detachable blades is the 3 1/2. True number 4 will be the 3 3/4.

[@BREEDBAZA]

GirlInThe415 not accurate.

[@chelleroberson3222]

The Barber's Chair wrong she is exactly accurate look on the oster page a 3 3/4 is half inch which equals 4#

chelle roberson stop going by measurements and go by how the guard cuts. I know what I’m talking about

[@dv8z1d79]

So is 1/8 with the clippers open an 1 1/2?

[@Himmysakai]

Apply

[@Sleepygamer93]

I have a question on a bald fade

[@imoneygarcia8210]

Actually the 1 blade is equivalent to the 1/2 guard because the 0A blade is a lot shorter than the 1/2 guard!

[@chso8809]

What about a 3 3/4 FC

[@chso8809]

Like what heck mean?

[@fatsbigo]

Chris S. the 3 3/4 and the 3 3/4 FC both cut to the same length but the FC blade will leave a smoother cut. The F.C. stands for Final Cut.

[@GirlInThe415]

Chris Soriano that will be a true #4, as it leaves approximately 1/2" of hair on the scalp.

[@SaadiqElSJP]

The metal ones are blades, not guards

[@ConcreteBarber661]

Dont get a 5 out if you already have an andis fade master. Unless u like to put he 5 out on ur octane or heavy duty clipper in general.

[@BREEDBAZA]
