Very happy with my Octane clippers at the one year mark. Very robust design. Well balanced and agile. These are top of the line Oster! Thanks for the review.

[@BigAlsShoppableReviews]

Same here Rick best oster I ever had. Its nice doing away with cord.

[@alexcastellon4126]

I like mine too I need to start building a system with the detachables tho I’ll be 4 years in as a barber I feel like I’m barely scratching the surface in this proffesion great review

[@BigAlsShoppableReviews]

Detachable make your job easier and smoother. You need to implement them into your cuts . It will make you faster.

[@kingrocketx4114]

This machine is a game changer thanks for this review 💪🏾🔥💯

Heck ya ....put it to work

Very nice , must have if your professional

[@GEBrant]

Maybe you can help! I got an Oster Power Pro Cordless, a complete kit with four different blades. Come to find out this model 78400 is for animal grooming! What's the difference and would it be foolish to forget about this trimmer and get an Octane? Thanks a lot!

[@BigAlsShoppableReviews]

Animal clippers are same as human . I dont really know difference. But I would use it . Octane is $300 bucks . Unless you don't mind spending .

[@alloneword154]

I bought mine of Amazon. I think it’s used. Did your new one come with a charged battery and heavy grease applied inside of the top of the machine that you can actually see it?

[@BigAlsShoppableReviews]

Pretty sure they come with grease on them when shipped

[@perezjsusmc]

solid video

[@BigAlsShoppableReviews]

Thank you

[@rayl2379]

I actually do use all of them including the two largest ones which is the 5/8 and 3/4 they are identical in length to a number five plastic in a number 6 plastic well they feel that they cut much better

[@rickatkinson1000]

I use all the Oster blades to get the same effect as an adjustable clipper and snap on guards. I use the Oster plastic clipper guards to get an “open” state. The Oster guards are slightly higher. Great method for fades and tapers. These detachable clippers result in a smooth haircut. Expensive though. I have a black set and a silver set as a backup to optimize blade life. I sharpen the blade sets (alternating colour) every six months or so. I prefer the black blades. The coating makes the blade travel through hair better.

[@pavlikmorozov6852]

after some amazon reviews about the charging station im afraid to order em since it will be pain in the a$$ to return them from europe where i live

[@BigAlsShoppableReviews]

I haven't had a problem with my charging station I have had it since feb . Love mine

[@rickatkinson1000]

No problems with the Octane base station after a hear. I use two batteries and hot swap. Never run out of juice, optimize charging cycles. Make sure batteries are fully charged before use!

[@Heaven01993]

Are these good for just balding out or is it not worth getting unless you actually use them for fading?

[@BigAlsShoppableReviews]

There more for removing bulk ....I dont use them for fading .

[@Heaven01993]

Big Al's Barber Channel thanks Big Al for replying I use the andis envy’s with the fade blade I put on a andis guard usually for bald fades like a number 2 or 1 on top and then use them with the blade close making the bald line after that I would use my Wahl clippers an fade out the rest. I like having a fade blade on my clippers; are the oster blades similar to a fade blade; more flat or do they curve out like the taper blades?

[@ainitadump831]

Big al thinking about buying one.. does any of the oster metal blades fit right even if it's for the titan?

[@BigAlsShoppableReviews]

They are all compatible

[@ainitadump831]

@@BigAlsShoppableReviews what's the lowest size do u use to cut the sides 00000?

[@BigAlsShoppableReviews]

I dont use 000 or 00000 ....iuse trimmer for zero . But I use all other blades

[@Alanisrael12]

i have a question , im trying to buy the oster octane but i need help understanding the detachable blades , can you tell me what the 1 thru 8 guards would be in detachable blades please

[@BigAlsShoppableReviews]

There is no i threw eight......you only got Zero- wich is zero #1 - wich is between half and #1 #1a - wich is 1.5 #2 - wich is shorter than plastic #2 #3.5 - wuch is #3 plastic #3.75 - wich is between plastic 3 and 3.5 Thats it no metal blades higher than 3.75 . Metal blades are for taking bulk and cut much smoother than plastic. To give example i never use a plastic 2 i always use metal #2 . Much cleaner and tighter.

[@Alanisrael12]

Big Al's Barber Channel ohh ok thank you very much , i just wanted to know because im barely trying to learn the detachable blade thing and i wasnt sure , appreciate it tho

[@Alanisrael12]

also what’s the difference between the 00000 , 0000 , 000 , and 0a ?? and also , since i don’t really know detachables , do you think i should get it or no ??

You should let the battery completely die some times before charging it. And never keep it on the charger overnight.
