I started cutting my own hair because of you. People are complimenting my cuts. They are not as clean but practice makes perfect . I think i need those mirrors to clean up the back of my head.

[@tradingbtc3391]

Maybe they was being sarcastic?

[@jessetrinidad310]

I like how you take the time to explain everything you're doing and letting people know that anyone can do it. I cut my hair 3 times using 3 different methods from videos and yours was the best outcome. I appreciate the lesson!! Stay safe!

[@Khryptic]

thanks mate for taking the time to show us this without any daft music in the background, liked and subbed

[@Xmiss.prissX]

My masters were loud too. Then I got the omnicord ceramic blade. Glides through hair like butter and is much more quiet. Solid fade my dude. Great job 👏🏼

The ones that come with led lights are better. Mad expensive but totally worth it. I had the one you have in this video, and it broke in the hinges after a year.

[@acr4715]

FYI, Its important to grease the hinges. They tend to snap.

I started to cut my own hair just like you thx to your videos I started

Appricate you using the go pro to show how easy it is to see the back of your head . That was my main concern when looking into this!

Def one of the best fade cut guide I seen so far. Using your videos for the perfect mirror when I get with my new protege clippers

[@SantaBartek]

good job bro, is this "self cut system" much better than ordinary mirror ?

[@kikado3]

Yes because it helps you see the sides and back of your head. So much easier not having to hold a mirror

[@sliccflip]

Came out real clean

[@danielbrinlee9939]

Holy loud. Must be the new home bathrooms. Echos like crazy. I’ve been thinking of getting this since it came out YEARS ago, but have just used a normal hand held mirror. Now I’m older, might be a good time to get it. The price was a bit steep, guessing well worth it.

[@kikado3]

More or less the mic on the camera. Their not too loud at all for me or the client. Ive def used worse lol. Check into the mirror youll love it

[@Panarrican65]

That's true!

[@fabiannino4106]

I need this yesterday. Tired of paying for a cut and never being satisfied

[@cthacutz814]

I like that version of it. The version I had the clips had to be attached and it came with led lights. Those masters are kinda loud.

[@kikado3]

Their loud in the video but its not really that bad in person. The frequencies hit the mic kind of hard.

[@antisocialist2244]

I use ballistol. It works for everything from firearms, leather, etc. that ballistol coating quiets the andis cordless masters.

[@Beatbyawhiteboy]

Horrible sounding clipper, one of several reasons why I won't buy one.

[@antisocialist2244]

Re-signed with Top Rank to avoid Errol Spence Jr. I felt the same way you did....until I watched ricardos quarantine cut. They are amazing and cordless makes it so much easier if you self cut. I have a set of oster fast feeds w/ceramic blade. They are quiet...almost too quiet bc you can’t hear the cut like the masters. I love that feedback from the masters. On my new masters I soaked both of my blades in ballistol for 30 minutes and I use ballistol every time I apply oil. They are fairly quiet now.

[@jayzee3143]

Where did you get that magnetic board for the andis clips 🤔

Awesome man.

[@ErrydayYe]

Ricardo The Barber hey man, what’s the difference between quality clippers and 40 dollar clippers???

[@ErrydayYe]

Ricardo The Barber one more thing, best clippers to use for like a hundred bucks??

[@kikado3]

Lever, blade quality, motor quality and the housing.

[@kikado3]

Probably corded wahl 5 star seniors or fast feeds

[@maxinebenvenuti3891]

How do you turn off the lights?

[@judymariedeth]

Is everything backwards when you cut how hard is that if so?

[@chrisulfen8775]

How would you remove the ridge if it was a no.8 closed on top? Would you still start with a no.4 then gradually come down to the no.2? Or would you do something else?

[@kikado3]

Yes. The 4 guard will blend easily into it because the corners of the head make it easier. Then use 3 and 2 both closed.

[@Panarrican65]

Bien hecho Ricardo! I've been cutting my hair since 2001 but never looks as neat as yours, must be the hair type (LOL). Didn't realized I'm still "attached" to a cord.. I'm definitely upgrading to cordless. These mirrors are very handy too, I will get them ASAP. Question: I've seen other videos and when they get close to the "crown" the instruction is to go straight up with the clippers instead of flicking out like you do. Does this make any difference! These are the best explained and easy to follow videos I've seen in years. Keep'em coming! Thanks! Best!!!

[@NoMadManKZ]

Very cool!👍👍👍

[@prodigydrummer]

Hey Ricardo, would you consider this a mid bald fade or a high bald fade?

[@CraigEDixon]

What is the best guard to use to fade in side burns?

[@kikado3]

I usually use a 1 guard open to start or 1/16th open. Then blend down

[@CraigEDixon]

[@navysealninja85]

Do the cordless Andis heat up like the others ppl keep talking about I don’t own any clippers and can’t decide between masters or fast feed

[@kikado3]

The corded heat up like a mofo. The cordless barely gets warm. Get the cordless if you can man its best.

[@navysealninja85]

Ricardo The Barber Awesome but the cordless might be out of my price range what would you recommend between fast feed? or masters it Will be the first time I cut my own hair and my sons never fades before might as well learn something in quarantine.

[@kikado3]

Id go for fast feeds because the corded masters will burn your hand as a learner trust me. Plus youll save some money. Fast feeds are awesome too. Good luck man

[@antisocialist2244]

If you are diy cutting hair...go cordless. The andis cordless masters are great.

Love your videos man - they’ve been so helpful throughout the quarantine. My cuts have improved dramatically 💯🔥. Do you have any recommendations for hair fibers to add thickness to thinning areas?

Truthfully their all the same. What you really need to make sure to get is the spray to lock it in and make sure the fibers are the righr color. Quick search on ebay and youll do good 👍

[@frankrizzo1798]

What happens when you got no guard on and closed and still can’t get your bald line completely out? Do you use your trimmer with just the corner of the blade?

[@kikado3]

It should come right out. You probably need to adjuat your clippers to cut lower.

[@frankrizzo1798]

Ok Il give it a try I appreciate the advice!

[@CageyJ0nnY]

Total novice here with a silly question. Is there a reason you go shortest to longest and not longest to shortest when doing the fade?

[@kikado3]

You can go either way. I set guidelines shortest to longest so i can shave only the area needed without going over it twice or extra saving time. I fade downwards from long to short so i dont accidentally raise the fade area.

[@adamr1719]

Using the foil shaver do you go all the way up to the zero gapped trimmer guideline or just below like 1/4 inch down? Also do you ever need to blend downwards with the foil shaver or should the andis clippers zero gapped erase the skin bald line? thanks for sharing with good instructions! I know some barbers that don’t like to lol.

[@kikado3]

Yes man. Both i do. Do the 1/4inch and def blend down.

[@adamr1719]

Thanks Ricardo for the quick reply! Not sure if you can answer this question. Those trimmers you have are they the deep tooth blade or regular? My local store has the the silver 2.0 graphite deep tooth blade in stock but not the gold ones. Would you recommend ordering the gold ones? Not sure if they cut different or if one is better since it looks like they come with different blades.

[@kikado3]

Their not deep tooth. Id go for the graphites based on other peoples opinions. I havent used them yet tho. Either blade is fire regardless
