most Under Rated Clipper Oster Fast feed so much potential to unlock very customizable

[@valetudo025]

My favorite clipper. I’m a newer barber but I didn’t fall for the hype of a lot of the newer clippers out. I use corded fast feeds, corded 76’s, and cordless magic clips.

[@DoritosResidue]

It's the amount of space between the teeth of the cutting blade. It catches hair very easily instead of pushing the hair and cutting it at an angle. That angle makes the follicle at a jagged cut. This is why the andis masters and the oster fast feed make for softer fades that you can lterally feel .

[@drusantana]

@@DoritosResidue great comment! Almost like a thinning shear. In clipper form

[@skorpio88]

Great video! I've been using my fast feeds (topaz) since 2017 with the ceramic blade. ZERO issues and blurry fades. This clipper is definitely in the top 5 for fading even in this new age of cordless clippers.

[@kennyking6323]

I love my Oster Fast Feed Corded Burgundy joints still quiet. I bought them in 2020! So underrated.

[@anderson345]

Brother! The fast feeds been around for ages!! OGs know. The metal blade doesn’t debunk well but the ceramic helps a lot. Fast feeds are beautiful at one thing and that is fading. It creates a different type of blur on the fade that I don’t see from wahl clippers. I think it’s because of the slower speed it doesn’t mangle the hair being cut. I wouldn’t say it’s a hidden gem, people have used these for years.

[@drusantana]

I simply overlooked the abilities of it. It deserves more credit for sure . Thank you for weighing on this .

[@DoctorPerc]

It’s a hidden gem in the sense that barbers nowadays only want speed and power from their clippers. People look at the Fastfeeds in a negative light cause they’re slower but the blend it gives out is so nice. I’ve been barbering since 2017 and visited a ton of barbershops since then and I can safely say Fastfeeds were practically non existent in most clipper lineups. I saw more Detachables than Fastfeeds and even then the Detachables were rare to see too!! People are sleeping on these clippers to this very day 😮‍💨

[@Kaygee79]

Hey, I did a review on the fast feeds a few years back. I have seen the ceramic zero gap done before and the one where you actually modified the screwed attachment so that you can adjust the factory blade. I have also seen that one before, it takes a bit of an artist to get that one done. I'm not a professional barber so I haven't tried to modify my fast feeds to zero. I have other clippers that do the zero easy so just use those when I need to zero. But just wanted to say, fast feeds are my go to clippers to give the best blended fades possible. It's forgiving on hair, I love the sound it gives when cutting hair, pivot motor for dry or wet hair, and it can cut forever. Never gets too hot. I'm with you on your statement that they might be the best clipper you can customize for a long and fruitful life using them! I've had mine for years and it's just as wonderful as the day I got them! It's a workhorse of a clipper! Great review, not sure if your channel is new but keep up the videos like this one! You're doing awesome work! I'd go into a bit more technical depth showing the way you set and adjust the zero gap especially the one with the modified original blade. Possibly good for a separate video with a detailed break down. Cheers!

[@drusantana]

I appreciate the comment brother. I actually had additional footage I didn't use because I felt the video was getting too long. I really think you should modify the screws on yours and use the factory blade. Really fades nice and close like that. If your in ny roll up to the shop I'll modify your clipper for you fam. Btw! I can't wait to get the cordless fast feed!

[@Kaygee79]

@@drusantana Damn, if I lived in NY I'd gladly take you up on your offer as you done a picture perfect job with yours! I live in Toronto Canada but if I ever make it over to NY I'd stop by your shop just to say hello as a tourist lol! I don't own the cordless fast feeds so I'd be curious to see your thoughts once you get them and compare them to the corded ones. Does it feel the same etc. I have cordless Wahl Senoirs and I also love those. You have to be more precise with those vs. the fast feeds but has been serving me well as my cordless hair clipper and that is the one I have zero gapped. Was really easy to do as they are designed to be zero gapped with ease.

Fastfeeds are the best clippers

[@hbilbeisi1]

So I started barbering about 2 years ago and I started with cordless. After watching so many videos and getting pissed off with how little power cordless have I decided to get corded. I initially was gonna get masters or fast feeds but in the UK they don’t sell parts for these easily and also you need a converter. I got the coded magic clips. Boy oh boy the power is unreal, 10x better than cordless.

[@drusantana]

@@hbilbeisi1 aww man bro I'm sorry you haven't gotten your hands on the corded master or the corded senior those are the most powerful of all! They don't break either

[@pabloGDonadio506]

you can use the oster 606 model, its the same just the body chance

[@johneroyale]

Thanks for this!

[@unwealthybarber]

I been using the Oster Fast Feeds for the last 18 years it was one of my first clippers, it isn’t good for bulk but great for fading

[@drusantana]

I absolutely agree. I've used it alot since I've made this video. It's not perfect but switching back and forth with the master and or the supra works great for me.

[@mannyv.i.340]

Hey bro, I got the corded woodgrain edition of the Oster Fast Feed and I love them til this day. I'm curious and would like to know where can I buy the baby blue universal guards? They look dope.

[@MCFCAdonis]

Fast Feeds are classics. Stands the test of time, had the same corded mf since i started barbering 6 years ago. They still going strong no problems 🦾

[@nusense808]

Can you elaborate about the bottom blade being customizable?

[@drusantana]

@@nusense808 yes oster themselves makes 2 blades that I know of the 913-50 great for blurry fades almost like the effect of a thinning scissor. 913-53 is a straight cut like a normal taper blade. You can also experiment with all the bottom blades from the detachable metal blades for the andis zr and the classic 76.

[@nusense808]

@ experiment how with the detachable blades bro? That’s what I’m not understanding… How would a detachable blade fit on a FastFeed? Thats how I’m interpreting what you say by play around with the bottom blades

[@soulbarberful]

Dru catch yourself the top Blade is the still Blade and the bottom is the moving Blade, and you're definitely right one of the three O'Gs of Clippers, I have about four Black Topez a that Blade on with Black and White Ceramic on them.

[@antoniomorenojr6811]

I have been rocking a pair but haven’t used due to the plastic lever notch degraded with time with the metal slide.

[@jordanrgreenway]

There’s a guy somewhere that takes these corded Fast feeds and makes them cordless and custom. They look nice.

[@drusantana]

They change it to a rotory motor. Nice idea especially if you love the shape of the corded fast feed.

[@valetudo025]

@@drusantanaI thought about converting mine. But honestly the price to convert it is not worth it to me. Price to performance ratio is what I like about the stock fast feeds.

[@samueljackson2478]

Can you do a review on the Oster Obaby and Ace corded and Cordless trimmers these are very underrated.

[@PANTERALEO56]

I love fast feeds I collect them everything from the electromagnetic 12v to The Salon Pros. To the newer 9v carbon fiber edition ones and Some are noisier than others alot of that has to to with the plastic glide behind the cutter but you can glue them to reduce the noise and also lubricate the the stem that holds the pivot. Also you can try the fine tooth cutting blade that comes with a 5 Zero blade for a finer blend.

[@BobaDavis]

How did you go about marking your machine lever with proper spacing? Just a ruler?

[@drusantana]

@@BobaDavis use a sharpie to make a dot all the way open then all the way closed. Those are your first dots. Then the center dot is third. After that you should be able to guess the final two by eye 👁

[@diegopaz6597]

For the andis cutting blade you got on there; is it the coarse cutter off the website or the medium cut one? Cuz I've tried ones off of amazon and none of them fit properly.

[@drusantana]

I used an andis ceramic edge blade from a #1 the temu 22 tooth ceramic blade worked also.

[@wael8061]

How did you get your masters to sound like that ??? It’s been years since I’ve had a pair of mine sound like that! Put me on bro . Masters and Fast feeds are my top 2 clippers of all time . But only when they’re running right , and it’s been years since I had a good pair of each

[@drusantana]

The andis master is a very complex clipper it has 3 screws to adjust and it needs to be just right! A little boy dropped my purple master so im gonna have to drop a video showing the process of cleaning and adjusting for maximum performance....as for The fast feed in this video is only a few months old so it's out the box fresh and running strong

[@sandman1133]

Lately I bought over 7 pairs of oster feeds after my last ones dropped and broke . Sadly none of them are cutting good idk what’s going on with them . They all cut differently . I feel like it’s a tension issue . The old pair I used to have were my go to clippers! Can someone help me out!

[@drusantana]

I'm an expert on the master but I will look into your fast feed issue. I'm guessing it's the moving blade... but still can rule out something inside that might need to be adjusted. Don't throw anything away wait to see if me or anyone in the community can come up with some suggestions

[@drusantana]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/j3iTioBjbMtgg9Usi=2_7spOjLVwtFbWxa According to this guy it's one of these issues 1 blades need sharpening 2 tension spring need to be replaced or adjusted (this is my guess) 3 one of the two springs on the motor may have broke.

[@wael8061]

I’ve actually sent my masters and my fast feeds to him , they were running good for a bit and started acting up again a few cuts in . But the andis masters still didn’t sound the way yours does I need that maximum power . It’s frustrating cutting hair when the speed and power just isn’t there . At this point I feel like I just got really bad luck with clippers

[@delmontegreenbeans]

@drusantana fast feeds dose blend really nice. They did used to come with two different cutting blades to switch out.

[@drusantana]

@@delmontegreenbeans interesting fact never heard that. I did notice how great they blend a major plus.

[@delmontegreenbeans]

@drusantana Yeah, the second cutting blade looked like an Osters version of the whaul cutting blade. That's why when you take them apart? The plate that drives the cutting blade is a straight line that presses to the stationary blade. Unlike the whaul, has that elongated diamond shaped holder that holds the blade to the stationary blade.

It's not cheap, it's inexpensive and quality it is, Dru call it what it is moving cutting Blade, again Dru call it what is, it's a Ceramic Blade, you're are educating the Viewers
