I've been running Bevel Blade master and Phat Master set up since I've become a licensed barber. Purchased the PHAT MASTER CLIPPER LIMOTED EDITION wayyyy back in 2011 and have been running it since then.. My 2 masters along with my BGCR detachable clipper and my 2 andis outliner, 2 with regular t-outliner and other with gtx blade. Been my setup for a decade in a half now and LOVE IT

Great indepth video man 👏, I've been using the Blur guard for a few weeks now, and it's a game-changer! At first, I was skeptical because I've always used a guard system, but now I can't imagine fading without it. I've tried different methods, and this is what works best for me: 1. Bulk removal with a number 2 guard 2. Punch in my guideline 3. Work my way down with the Blur guard, and I'm done! I use it zero gap and it works perfectly. Honestly, it's a massive time-saver. It takes some getting used to, but once you get the hang of it, it's amazing. Andis have taken note re-releasing the phat master blade on the 1st of May Exciting times!

Blur just dropped the news on Instagram: Blur Metal 2.0 is coming, and it's basically a Phat Master with Wahl-style brackets.

[@MrDubb5]

I'm getting the new blur and phatmaster when they drop

[@thewoodshedbarber]

They’re keeping me working

[@Wendolushart]

@@MrDubb5 I Just ordered Crunch blades from Blur.

[@themarketbarber1893]

Thank you for doing this video, and for the analysis. It helped confirm for me that the one I would buy is the Blur Guard, especially the last comparison. Unfortunately @FaTaL1h below has said version 2 is coming out so I'll hold off and see what that's like. Much appreciated.

[@thewoodshedbarber]

I think this kind of innovation is the future of barbering…. There will be a lot more to come

[@ArabicReviewed]

Thanks for the detailed breakdown. I measure my guard systems and blades the same way. I find that Gamma dub guards are the only guards that are true to size, along with Andis guards. So a 0/0.5 guard on those two systems is a true 1.5mm (except for the non-OG Andis 0 guard which mimics a Wahl half guard), a one is measured a true 3mm on both these systems. But with Wahl and Babyliss there are minor variations. One thing I will mention though this is just technical data and when practically cutting hair, makes little to no difference. So even with my measured fade/taper blades and guards all theoretically having all the measured distances to make a proper blend, I still find the Wahl guards (even with the variations) fade in to one another easier than most other guard systems. I also remember a video from Sofie Staygold saying the lithium FX opens to 4.5mm, close to a 1.5 guard. I commented saying there isn't a chance in hell that the blade lever will leave hair close to a 1.5 guard lol 😂 But as nerdy and technical these measurements may be, practically speaking a lot of these off-measurement guard systems fade better than those having true strict measurements. So, it's not all that important in some sense.

[@thewoodshedbarber]

Facts my friend. I appreciate your comment

[@demodemo9698]

Cool video man

[@thewoodshedbarber]

Thanks!

I used the corded phatmaster yesterday and the fine teeth cut so precise on tight curly hair. I have another phatmaster on a caliber 50 Cal but it’s not a stretch bracket nor does it have the matching cutting blade. Wish Phil made a stretch bracket and cam for the caliber.

[@thewoodshedbarber]

Yeah man that’s the only hold up

[@mcay4255]

The blur blade can also be adjusted based on where you tighten the screws at. It cuts at a longer length if you tighten the screws with the blade fully opened and not zero gapped

[@thewoodshedbarber]

Yeah I showed that in the comparison at the end. I showed the blade being pushed all the way forward before tightening. Then measured

[@goransvensson5547]

it was difficult to choose a new trimmer, but because of you, I chose saber gold. I will receive it on Monday. longing!

[@thewoodshedbarber]

It’s the best there is right now 💯

[@highflyer72]

I have the black saber❤️🙏☺️

[@TR-os9em]

You can probably get a more accurate measurement if you rest the inside flat part of the caliper on the flat side of the still blade right above the cutting blade

[@thewoodshedbarber]

Yeah it’s finicky for sure

[@ericvandunk2499]

Love all of your contributions and insight where can I get the extend bracket for the whale sensor and is at floating lever

[@thewoodshedbarber]

It is a floating lever and I would go to philthyblendz.com for all your Mod needs

[@tobiasmayn3]

Can we get a conversion video on the reVite with the phat blade? Curious if I can get one clipper to do it all fade, taper and phat blade.

[@thewoodshedbarber]

Will do that soon!

[@jamesonshields4393]

Just got me a high bald fade and a hook part im feeling fresh to death 😂

[@thewoodshedbarber]

A good cut makes you strut bro!!

[@k4shew]

you should measure blur blade with the stretch bracket.

[@thewoodshedbarber]

I did towards the end of the video, it’s on the blue senior

[@SuperKashew]

Have you tried the phat master on a stylecraft instinct by any chance?

[@thewoodshedbarber]

I sure have, I love it

[@abdi2313]

Hey man I’m trying to get the phat master blade. I wanna put it on my JRL, Instincts & X ergos. What mods do I need EXACTLY to install it? I’d like the set up you have. Some links would be helpful

[@thewoodshedbarber]

The instincts and x ergos already come with the philthyblendz mod. All my stuff I got from him for mods. The best set up so far though is Wahl senior, with the PB stretch bracket with the cam follower that allows you to was a Master Cutting blade too. That’s the only way to use the stretch bracket with it properly

[@abdi2313]

@@thewoodshedbarber so if I order the new phat master blade for my instincts or ergos I can just screw it on without any other mods? I thought it needed the Andis screws & bracket?

[@thewoodshedbarber]

@@abdi2313 andis screws yes but if you check your ergos and instincts the should have the four hole Philthy blends bracket included

[@Wendolushart]

Have you tried the blur blade with the stretch bracket?

[@thewoodshedbarber]

I have, the last comparison was on the stretch bracket

[@oskr05k]

What cutting blade do you have on the seniors?

[@thewoodshedbarber]

The Andis master cutting blade via Philthy blends cam follower

[@BigT1523]

TPOB taking the game over!!!!

[@thewoodshedbarber]

He’s crushing it man!

[@jamesonshields4393]

Have you tried the weztek guard?

[@thewoodshedbarber]

Not yet, it’s on a short list though

[@aaroncline5828]

At this point I think I'll jus pass on the blur blade I may try the phat master blade 1 day but probably not lolll

[@thewoodshedbarber]

I understand that, it’s not for everyone, but it could be a game changer once you try it.

[@aaroncline5828]

@thewoodshedbarber I'm still relatively a new barber and I can admit it lol so I'm still learning and I feel this skips key steps in my haircuts that I'm not strong enough with at this point feel Me Matt lolll
