Hey, I've been a barber for 36 years and was always loyal to my Andis Master corded and my Oster 76. When the cordless clippers came out I went for the Master cordless and the Oster Octane. At the time I loved the Master cordless cause that's what I was used to. I started to watch videos on the new types of cordless clippers out there and how the fades, debulking and ease of use. I came across the Style Craft clippers and thought A lot of barbers were raving about them. So I gave them a shot, buying the Style Craft Mythic. At first feel it was real heavy but cut great. The only problems I had with the Mythic clipper was the weight which wasn't bad at all but heavier than I was use. Second, I'm left handed and the lever was all up in my finger so I had to change my cutting style a little which wasn't to bad. Then the Instinct came out and I saw how small it is and how light it is. The vector motor power would be perfect for me because I work real fast and my master never could keep up. Needless to say, I really love the StyleCraft Instinct clipper and Trimmer wishing l would have found out about this brand years ago. My fades are crisper and enjoyable to do now. As a matter of fact I barely use my Oster to debulk, I just use my Instinct for everything. If I can talk to the designers at StyleCraft, I would Suggest having them make an ambidextrous lever for us lefties. It would make this clipper unbeatable. I have no issues with battery life cause I put it on the charger after each use. It does get a little warm in the hand but nothing I'm not use to. My clients can notice a big difference on the smoothness and feel of the Instinct which is important to me. I won't go back to Andis any more they are way behind in tech and design. I feel that StyleCraft has barbers as their clipper designers cause it would be how I would design them. Thanks for your channel it helped me decide on my purchase.

[@danielvelkovski3156]

I’m not a barber but have had the mythic since it came out. (I put a different cutting blade and it became a game changer). How much better is the Instinct vs the mythic? Worth the upgrade?

[@crowdjesterdiy7082]

​@@danielvelkovski3156 It's a lot better for me as I use it all day long. It's worth the upgrade. As a matter of fact I would probably return to Mythic but I'm not because I like having a back up,. Plus the Mythic is very quiet which is good for people and children with Autism that have sensory problems or a sensitivity to loud sounds.

@@crowdjesterdiy7082 thank you. I looked up my order history - the new mythic blade I added was the Gamma Slim Deep Cutter Blade. I have a thick beard and now just need 1 pass. It made a noticeable difference vs the stock mythic.

[@d.felixphoto2260]

Your reviews of this has pushed me to get one

[@iplaythedrumsgood]

Technically speaking this is a great clipper. That being said after a few weeks of use I don’t really like it. It’s incredibly powerful and it might just be its biggest down fall. The blade gets so hot so fast and the machine is so small and light it feels like it’s going to vibrate out of your hand. I’m also don’t like the balance since all the weight is towards the front. Battery life is okay but not 4 hours but with the dock it doesn’t really matter. It’s a great machine but not for me unfortunately. I completely understand the hype around it though and wouldn’t disagree with anyone who says it’s the best.

[@desmondmitchell5602]

Thanks for the battery tip it did help

Sorry, but if you're referring to the battery life being crap, it's not just you. This is the best, worst clipper iv used. Haha. The performance is really goood but they get hot too quick and battery life is horrible, even if I'm putting it to charge in between cuts.

I e had mine for about a month and I do t get 4 hours battery life. I’ve let it completely die twice and recharged hoping that it would have a longer life the next charge. I’m getting about 2-2.5 hours on this. Have your or anyone else here felt with this issue? Outside of that this clippers are what is up.

[@babyboy505018]

The instinct clipper is dope. Only flaw so far the usb port already came off the clipper so i cant charge it with an android charger anymore. I really found it helpful when your using it all day to use the android charger like a cord. No idea on how to fix that. Besides that i use the clipper daily. I did end up having to swap out the cutter for the deep tooth cutter, I feel like it gives it more of a crunch and fades better then using the original cutter it comes with.

[@abeg3674]

The only reason I think detachables still have an edge, is how the teeth pick up all the hairs better. There needs to be a better attachment guard system that can help improve this. Maybe make full metal attachments with more teeth to pick up more hair? I love my instincts, but I feel if this one issue can be resolved, detachables will be a thing of the past.

[@YouTubeBarberAcademy]

With detachable, the teeth are much shorter, so the hair doesn’t have to travel all the way back

[@J313thebarber]

Wonder if they can put that motor in the apex body

[@noedidit.]

wanna see a sound update. will it get as loud as my rebels did? made me retire that clipper after 3 months and made me go back to my cordless seniors

[@YouTubeBarberAcademy]

Actually, I rechecked the noise and it is still at 71 dB. It was banging into the guard, causing it to get to 74 when I tested it.

Great info on the vector. I don’t have them what I am doing is building my own vector buying the motor and a battery and putting them on my magic clip its 23$ for the vector motor and 11 dollars for the battery and then I’ll have that power a cordless clipper should have been like in the beginning. Thanks again for your input on the vector and yes it is going to be the new wave of the cordless clippers. I have a buddy who did that modification and bragging about basically having paid 35 $ to have the power of the vector machine cause he couldn’t afford the prepaid at that time and says I will love my magic clip upgrade 😅 I believe I will .

[@cubicle7535]

What is the noise and power like, compared to the Rebels?

[@YouTubeBarberAcademy]

Rebels are about 77 dB and instinct about 74

[@darcyphillips70]

Generally, the battery requires 3x full charge to discharge cycles before they finally hold a full charge… this dynamic applies to all modern lithium battery clippers/trimmers

[@barberciscobarberfranky6354]

You’ve never read in the booklet that you must empty the battery and charge 2 times before the battery is “broken in” for lack of a better term.

[@debestest1]

Good job 👏 . Btw i switched the gold faper titatium blade for the black faper blade now my instinct doesn't get hot like it use to 🔥

[@mikroks5543]

Great review mate...

[@svicto17]

I bought the instinct clipper, an excellent clipper hands down. It's definitely a cop for those who dont have it. However, today I did notice this issue with the battery! After about 1 hr 30 it was blinking, so I put it on the charger for about an hr to get some charge, and reused it. After about 2 hrs it died on me. Since it was already my last cut of the day left it on the charger overnight today to see if that works. If not any suggestions?

[@barber264]

Did you fix the problem? , I’m having the same issue , but mine only runs for like 50 minutes even when its fully charged.

[@svicto17]

@@barber264 I did find a fix. I let the clipper die and plugged it in directly into the cord for a full charge. Ive been going on a week now and so far it seems to perform much better

Yes! Specifically curious to see the torque! All that speeding up is great, but if it doesn't have torque it's of little use

[@cubicle7535]

Remember when you did those torque measurements for the Senior vs Rebel comparison? That's what we need!

[@massterrbarber]

Then I have bought the wrong motor thinking it was a vector motor but it was Gamma + super high torque motor and I had put it on my magic clips.

[@YouTubeBarberAcademy]

Lol much better motor

[@doneritecarescarpetrepairs1687]

Does it come fully charged out the box

[@NormanBats]

Thanks for your video , I get a lot of inspiration from your videos for doing the same thing for French barbers. I just have a question about magnetic carpet, I think it’s a bad stuff because both of my gamma boosted are broken. They make a lot of noise now. I fixed it in changing the plastic piece under the rotative blade an it’s working. Just for telling you my opinion and ask if you have opinion on magnetic carpet? Have a good day and continue your job it’s help a lot

[@xdielelcientifik1710]

I have one but a was cutting and it when off. Now the lite is flashing but the clipper won turn on was gion on

[@victorbarbermx3606]

Question, is the instict better than the gamma boost and the rebel so far? And why?

[@massterrbarber]

I have tried to make them my go toos and they just don’t do it for me and I love the power they have I just can’t let go of my saber clippers and trimmers and they are always there for me and 6 hours of run time and the smoothest finishing. The instinct clippers are great and flawless and they are just not for me I’m in love with them sabers the set that I am most excited about having in my arsenal.😅 awesome content.

[@1206johnny]

How do I keep it from getting extremely hot?

[@YouTubeBarberAcademy]

Do you have the DLC blade or the gold blade? The DLC blade handles heat much better. Also, you can try cleaning it and boiling it if there is a Nick in the blade that could cause extra friction as well so you might consider replacing the blade if cleaning and oiling it. if it is the gold blade It is normal for it to warm up. It shouldn’t get excessively hot but it could get hotter than the DLC. Hope this helps.
