What up, Squad! What ever happened to the hype of this mod? Was it all the new trimmers being released? These trimmers are super dope with the mod. Let me know what you think?

[@shawnjacobb1]

MMA BARBER LIFE where do you get the Ron legend from?? Ok can't seem to find it.

[@TRAVELBARBERLIFE]

From the man himself. Hit up Ron on IG instagram.com/ronsclassickuts?igshid=1v310yvgp563w

Hi Can you please list the name of the replacement blades?please

[@TRAVELBARBERLIFE]

The T Outliner blade?

[@yr7509]

MMA BARBER LIFE just the T on both for from different companies 🤔👌 thank You

[@rania.g481]

Great video Bro! That's Reality. Many barbers spend a lot of money on new Clippers, unnecessarily, and don't spend money on education. Education is the key.

[@BlakeSuperior_Beats]

Thanks for making this video. IMHO, Andis dropped the ball by not officially releasing a full size T outliner width blade for the slimlines. For me, the hardest part about doing the mod was lengthening the holes with the drill. Looked super easy in other videos, but took me forever to get just right.

[@IvMacCuts]

Out here speaking the truth 💯. If it ain't broken don't fix it, if you know what works for you make that thing better, there ain't nothing wrong with mods if you know they work for you.

[@EricGibbsSr]

Man, I'm all over the place trying to start my cordless arsenal. Im currently using oster 76 to debulk, then im using fast feeds and t-outliners, both zero gapped with omnicord ceramic blades and grips. My fast feeds and t-outliners 15 yrs old, and 76 11 yrs old. It wasn't til the babyliss pro kit got my attention, im considering a backup arsenal and I want it to be cordless

[@ankuragarwal3660]

Hey Brodie which omnicord ceramic blade did u use on ur fast feeds

[@richarddellalibera248]

Thanks for info really helpful 👍

[@Roughdraft214]

I have a slimline gtx and didn’t like it. Mainly because I could’nt remove bulk with it. Even on my beard! But I kept it and once I zero gapped it I started using it more even though I had an fx3, which is my favorite trimmer. Lately I bought an li blade for trimming my beard, and I really liked it. So, I just ordered about her slimline, so I can have both an li and a gtx blade just for lining up. So know your tools and what they’re capable of. I use my Wahl balding clipper for removing bulk. Great video by the way! Subscribed!

[@kodee81]

I was a big andis fan now I’m Wahl fan love the cordless detailers I hear you about wasting your money cause these companies are gonna put out products knowing that people want the latest. I had to stop cause I noticed I had a lot of clippers I wasn’t using.

[@mustafu2007]

Great video brother

[@Greenstock31]

Just received mine for Christmas tested on my son out the box required some diggin and then I zero gapped them and used them on my self and they just glided with ease sharp deep line.

Ice cold overalls! Where did you get those? Any tips for shaving your head bald with trimmers? I can't use a razor or foil razor because I am prone to razor bumps on the side of my head and back center.

[@user-wq3zg7uk2z]

Thank for video and your review bro! Which trimmer you think is best for work now?

[@TRAVELBARBERLIFE]

This trimmer right here: amzn.to/44Yon5P Still love it and runs good till this day.

[@tresamccormick6]

Question for you Is there a modification for the Slimline pro 2 straight out the box they are the worst liners ever. I have the Slimline pro Li and they are great, but the pro 2 you can't adjust them. What's a possible suggestion?

[@jodye777]

Hands down andis t-outliner with the gtx blade mows through bulk love it 💈 but they dont hit like the fx gold

[@martyduggan8047]

What blade is the mod and also does it directly replace stock blade or further modification required?

[@DelaceLeCoiffeur]

Interesting comparison. Can we tribute or take the difference in sound due to being broke-in or the slight amount of hair accumulated within the trimmers? Awesome work btw 👍👍

[@TRAVELBARBERLIFE]

Not sure what to attribute it to.

[@wandersonramos11]

I can’t hear the “ crunch” sound of my slim line while cutting anymore, I bought new blades and still the same way, you thing it lost the power? Because I have mines for over 5 years

[@dt0924]

Man I’m the same way then them cordless something expensive they got the black cordless envy li fade with the black slimeline on amazon brother

[@elcocorote84]

I think slimline is still the way to go

[@barberdre214]

The spring or tensioner keeps breaking on the modification any suggestions

[@terryrobinson1215]

I have the andis slim outliner 2s with a Wahls t outliner blade and that mod works perfectly for me. I guess it's like to each its own. Whatever works.

[@xaviervlawrence7941]

Would you recommend these trimmers to do skin fades or baldy cuts? I want a pair of clippers/trimmers that can do just that... Do you have any other recommendations?

[@TRAVELBARBERLIFE]

It’s ok with the mod. Without the mod, I wouldn’t recommend it for balding out. The blade is too small. You can use a pair of t outliners if you aren’t a barber, if so, use a 00000 on a detachable blade clipper.

[@tomflorczakjr.5353]

I'm looking to buy the Slimline Li trimmer for use with my new beard and possibly doing sideburns, around my ears, and back of my neck in between haircuts. I'm not looking to zero gap because I'm too afraid to cut myself and I have pretty bad skin to begin with. Should I attempt the GTX mod or will the stock Li blade be good enough for what I need?

[@TRAVELBARBERLIFE]

The slimlines will serve you more than well. Their is a link in the description above if you choose to purchase them.

[@jasonbarberandeducator7247]

“Stop buying fucking clippers “ lol! Good video. I’m about to buy me some Slimlines

[@AutoBotcity1978]

I do my shaving but want to get the lines right on my beard on my cheek and my stash.. Would these be good enough? I use an eyebrow blade but also shave my head too, what else would I use to keep my head clean?

[@TRAVELBARBERLIFE]

T Outliners

[@tipwilliams1201]

What’s the reason for the skeleton mod on the t-outliner? I’ve heard they don’t help with heat and that’s what i thought it was for.

[@TRAVELBARBERLIFE]

It helps doing mustaches and getting around the ear. Also, you can directly see what is being edged.

[@justin4gutierrez162]

mans staring into my soul wit the thumbnail

[@BullAnt215]

What blade is that 🤔 i have the trimmers i just need to kno the name of the blade

[@CASTRO45ACP]

One thing about wireless is that you'll definitely replace the more, corded just lasts forever if taken care of properly, that being said cordless just makes more sense🤷‍♂️

[@janedoe1787]

Something about that t outliner blade that just performs magic.

[@TRAVELBARBERLIFE]

Yezzir! That’s the only corded clipper I have left on my station.

[@user-rb2oq6bl9h]

I have the gold babyliss and the main thing i dont like about them is that they are too sharp and cut me up everytime

[@Justin-vm8ox]

I have the same setup with the slimline and GTX blade, do you feel that they lack power when used to bald or they get jammed?

[@TRAVELBARBERLIFE]

You must be new to the channel. I “NEVER” bald out with trimmers.

[@gamebred5x]

I love the slim line, I perfer it with a stock (sharpened) blade tho

[@allaboutacheck474]

How do you sharpen ?

[@jfros9794]

@Rich Natural how do you sharpen?

[@igorsenayoutube]

I´ve been thinking about getting the slimeline pro li but havent pulled the trigger because i have never seen anyone use the guards in them and i need them to fade my beard(its just for home use) instead of taking it all out. I also cant find information on whether there are bigger sized guards available for them as 10mm is too short. Do you happen to have used the guards in them and can you tell me if they wont fall off or something? I could get another machine dedicated to beard trimming but the 2 hour battery life and 2 hour charge really comes in handy.

[@TRAVELBARBERLIFE]

The guards are pretty sturdy, and those are the only ones I know that they offer for that trimmer. Don’t forget to use my link in the description if you buy them. Good luck

[@igorsenayoutube]

@@TRAVELBARBERLIFE Hey, there. Thanks for the fast reply and for the information. Have a great day and keep bringing great content.

It's annoying to deal with the cords but there is no cordless clipper that proforms like a corded clipper....

[@lebryonsonjohn6720]

A great way to eliminate cords, I believe, is the tomb 45 power mat and power clips. It's a true way to go cordless and keep your instruments charged. Just my opinion.

[@alifrazali9274]

Hi sir. Can i know, its LED RING LIGHT help a lot in fading process? Sorry for bad english.

[@TRAVELBARBERLIFE]

Yes! All of the extra light helps. In the barbershop, light is your friend.

You are absolutely right about we shouldn't be spending a lot of money on clippers and that's why been buying Chinese cordless clippers that work just as well AND fraction of the price! 😉

[@MyDogSteppedOnaBeee]

Are they good for balding heads? How is the plastic switch holding up? I heard they break after a while from some barbers.

Lol Im doing pretty good with my 76ers, outliners, and masters. But I will get some t-outliners soon.

[@quest808]

My trimmers dont sound as strong as yours. If I tighten the blade down too much, it sounds like it’s struggling. If I loosen it, the blade starts to wiggle. Any advise?

[@TRAVELBARBERLIFE]

quest808 idk. Are they cordless, if so, how old are they?

[@quest808]

MMA BARBER LIFE they’re are about 2 years old. That’s probably why. I also bought a kit from 3versince. Seen it on KZbin. It came with a metal T-guide. Just opened it back up and realized that It was rubbing on the blade. Ended up using the original T-guide that came with the slimline. Everything seems to fit better. I was also able to tighten the blade tight and the trimmer doesn’t seem to struggle and runs a lot smoother now. May look into ordering a new slimline pro li and a GTX blade.
