Stylecraft Instinct X Unboxing and Review

[@markfernicola13]

The white and black combo with the clear lid is on point 👌🏼

[@Seancutshair]

Yeah sick

[@oscarmuhammad4072]

Sean, consider using clear matte tape instead of blue tape for your overhead camera borders (assuming that's what it's for). It will not be as visible to your forward camera and will give a more professional appearance. Keep up the good work!!!

[@Seancutshair]

That’s a good idea. Definitely been looking at another option!

[@DunDun2212]

I don't know what the hell you are talking about so probably shouldn't have even wrote this 😆

[@the_original_Versastyles]

I have made in shop studio sean. Any tips on camera setup. I’m super green on camera set ups. I was thinking 5 cameras on remote with a boom mic and a collar mic. Table for clipper reviews and custom or repair/mod things and all white background with rear facing mirrors and angular led lights in the ceiling thanks brother

Great content just got my instant X clipper about a week ago and I’m usually pretty good around opening and closing the Clippers and fixing them and everything and with these clippers watching your video has helped me change the way that I wanted them the right way without anything going wrong And I love them. I absolutely love the fact that they cut as if they were plugged into a wall and it’s always good to watch a good review unboxing and basically you did it all in this video and one shot you pulled it off the best for me was in the beginning, you introduced the parts. You explain the parts how to take them apart and put them back together how to change the face plates and things like that is all new technology for me and I’m enjoying it because it’s just adds to what I know already and the clipper it cut it by itself, all I need to do is guide it in a nice soft way great content love watching your videos. I’m supportive on your journey. I got a journey of my own and it’s good to know that this other barber out there laying down doing the right thing and I see you have barbershops. I’m on my way it’s just not easy as it sounds, I’m almost I’m almost ready for all my investments and it looks like I might. I might subscribe to your channel being that you have a very successful Barber Shop not one but two so it just makes sense. I’m not sure but I do have to if the person over here isn’t willing to invest with me, where I live at then I’m gonna have to take a class on how to get my Barber Shop going. I got the LLC. I just need a team strong team. It’s always hard cause I gotta learn how to manage my money. I keep buying all these machines and it’s like I’m addicted to buying clippers and blades and cleaning products and I eat out all the time like if I am richer or something and I’m definitely not.

[@mikedog5289]

Yup that white black color is fire nice shape too I’m actually liking it a lot

[@Seancutshair]

Yeah huge improvement

[@oriolinton]

the beat in the back sounds familiar ... cool vibe for the clipper videos i must say ... i def missed the first release of this and didnt get a chance to even get the TPOB one maybe smh.. maybe this will be the one that i need to get instead of the first one ... thanks for always putting down valuable things in this niche... i def just watched the video or short that you did that teaches how to taper/fade into bulk without harsh lines for coarse hair.. you be holding it down! keep up the great content!

[@Seancutshair]

I appreciate it! Will do!

[@massterrbarber]

They just came out with the tight guards. They actually cut really nice. The tight guards that I got the same ones that came with the cyborgs clippers very nice.

[@Rezamajedi]

When the vector motor shaver will release you gonna get surprised it's amazing shaver

[@Seancutshair]

I believe it

[@massterrbarber]

RESPECT FOR BEING YOU AND HONEST AND ITS GOING TO HAPPEN TO SOME ONE ELSE AND YOU JUST COVERED THE TOPIC OF SOMETIMES WE ARE FORCED TO USE A TOOL THAT WE HAVE NEVER TRIED OUT OR EVEN TRIED AND DONT LIKE. So we are problem solvers and make it work and we are not perfect only GOD has that title.Blessings to the old and the new BARBERS LEARNING TOGETHER.

[@markbradley5355]

My favorite guards to use are the gamma “ tight “ that came with the cyborgs.

[@Seancutshair]

Yeah I haven’t used them but heard about them

[@youngvet1993]

nice review! Def agree you should give the clipper the best chance by changing the blade to what you know you like. 💪🏼

[@Seancutshair]

💯💯💯

[@Rezamajedi]

I have same clipper in different brand in my channel that one comes with metal casing it's reduced the vibration a lot and gives a little bit more weight to it, hopefully next generation they will add metal shell

[@Seancutshair]

That sounds nice

[@justinbookout9166]

Finally I’ve been waiting for this

[@Seancutshair]

🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

[@joeskichavez395]

Thanks for the video and for being honest, Sean. Just watching the cut, I knew it wasn’t going well. That 0.5 and 1 1/2 are very different from the Wahl and Babyliss guards. I always struggle with the SC dubs when fading. Just because I’m so use to the others. Thanks again my man.

[@silaspham127]

Would you recommend wahl premium / martyblendz guards, or the babyliss ones? I've always had problems with my dubs.

[@joeskichavez395]

@@silaspham127 I would recommend 0.5,1,2,3,4,5,6 Wahl and 0.5 and 1 1/2 babyliss. I use both babyliss and Wahl for the 0.5, they both work great. I’ve never used Marty blends but I think they are similar to the Wahl guards. Good luck man.

[@xnxndo]

@@silaspham127wahl premium for sure, babyliss premium’s are cool if you fw thicker guards and MB guards are 💩🗑️

The color is just flawless and the blade faper blade is perfect I have the same taste 🤯🙌🌱🌱

[@Seancutshair]

It is sharp for sure

[@RyanAlca]

I like the #2, 3 & 4 double magnetic guards cause they feed hair well. Anything below or above that sits in a drawer. And lately I’ve been using the Wahl classic #1 guard and that’s the best guard ever made. If you can find someone to sell you one buy it and you’ll thank me later

[@Seancutshair]

Nice 👍🏻

[@badfinancial_decisions8989]

One thing I can say about the MicroUSB is that you don't have to worry about anybody walking off with your cords to charge their phone, or headphones, tablet, or game system 🤷🏾‍♂️ who am I to talk though, all my clippers are corded except my Magic Clips 😅

[@Seancutshair]

That’s funny!

[@Mike-hy8cs]

Love the dub guards you can skip guards easy with them

[@Seancutshair]

I don’t like them at all 😂

[@Mike-hy8cs]

@Seancutshair Haha they basically the andis guard system some people find it weird i understand

[@pasqualeamedeo4103]

Sean, I really respect your videos. Out of anyone on youtube you definitely have taught me the most and continue to do so. I know a lot of hard work goes into to making these videos but you are successful because the consistent is always there. Vague question but I like to fade pretty quickly, I love my wahls with the pro guards and my fx is always consistent. Out of the Jrl onyx, the mister ( new rebel) , X clipper or the lo pro fx one which one would you say would be best for quick faders? A lot of .5 work and off guard work. With $ not figuring in honestly.

[@pasqualeamedeo4103]

I know they all are amazing buys but if you had to nail it down to one or two that best at that free hand kind of work

[@Seancutshair]

Honestly can’t go wrong with any of those. My choice in order if I had to would be fx one lo pro, jrl onyx, instinct x, then the rebel. They all have pros a cons. Just depends on what you like. I have pretty honest opinions about each of them in their own videos. Just have to weigh the pros and cons

[@pasqualeamedeo4103]

Thanks bro. Youre opinion and response means a lot. Good luck going forward and keep up the great work. Before you know it youll easily hit a mil + subscribers. All well earned. @@Seancutshair

[@jordanrgreenway]

I was watching the video gamma posted about the cyborg and he said that the original double mags actually cut a different length. They were made for a clipper using the stretch bracket, and the new tight guards are got regular clippers and cut like wahl/babyliss. I was wondering why I always had trouble using the 1 and zero guard but I assume that was why.

[@Seancutshair]

That makes sense 👀

[@GAMMASTYLECRAFTPRO]

Storm Trooper look is tough! 😤

[@Seancutshair]

Yeah too sick 👊🏼

[@davidsee3566]

Hey Sean, solid content as always! have you heard any whispers from styleCraft if there will be a matching trimmer?

[@Seancutshair]

I haven’t. I would imagine they would do that!

[@Mikechoppz]

Could you do a video showing it side by side with the x ergo? I’m curious the side by side

[@Seancutshair]

Very similar

Someone that owns one told me that it wasn't necessary to zero gap them. Is that true?

One more thing, the tie guards not guards tight guards there you go tight guards they actually are working pretty good. In my opinion I get better results in my eyes. Everything seems to be more aligned to my style with the tight guards. They seem to be the same like whal Accept the Wahl 0.5 guard the gray one I’ve never found a way in all my life that I’ve ever used it and it’s been since 1994 1995 and I always had the hold the back of the guard the 0.5 guard the gray one it’ll fall off and after the first time it fell off was not a funny situation at that time. It’s funny now but it wasn’t funny back then just wanted to have a great day. Blessings keep doing your thing.

[@hpujols77]

Can you use the Andis Masters blade on this Style Craft Instinct X?

[@Seancutshair]

Yes on the philthy blendz bracket

[@darrienlight6124]

Still stuck between purchasing these or gamma boosted now... ive been using the original instinct which i love because i do have smaller hands so it fits me but need another set since my wahl seniors are just too heavy and need the clicks to guide me better... which to choose from? I know 1 ill be saving $60 but on the other hand would love to have a nice setup to match lol

[@Seancutshair]

The instinct x is definitely heavier and more solid than the boosted but the boosted was always the one I liked

[@benjaminsantiago8027]

Does the instinct x work on the instinct tomb45 doc?

Hello, bro! I live in Korea. I'm a novice barber. Sometimes I watch your videos, I'm learning and understanding through videos. It was released a long time ago I'd like to buy a GAMMA+ SC Ergo Clipper. I think the grip and center of gravity It was fine. If it's a disadvantage, it's a pity that there's no taper blade. I saw a video of you using it. Can you recommend it to someone else? Or can you tell me another option? (Clipper Overcom & fade should be free to use.) I really need your advice. I beg you.

[@Seancutshair]

X ergo is good! Go ahead!

@@Seancutshair Thank you so much for your answer !!! In your other video You saw the introduction video of the BABILISS PRO® FXONE LO-PROFX High Performance Clipper.

I am not impressed with Stylecraft as far as longevity. My trimmers crapped out 3 days after the 1 year warranty. I have 2 pairs of other clippers from them that need repair. Have Instinct now and I love them but just praying they last. They do get little warm too. I called and asked if could pay them to repair and was told only work on ones under warranty so that was disappointing too:-(

[@Seancutshair]

What kind of repair do they need? I never had any issues with any of their stuff

[@tammyclaybourn3591]

One got extremely loud but still cutting ok. Other not cutting and wont stay charged and another stylist at shop had her instincts just quit; hers is still under warranty. When I contacted Stylecraft about my trimmers they said well its 3 days past the warranty and I asked if I could send them in and pay to repair them and was told they only work on ones that are under warranty. The place we had working on our clippers isnt doing them anymore so currently looking for someone else that does repairs.
