Overall i like the dubs better. Especially the updated versions. They made the teeth firmer so they dont bend or rake the client as much. They blend easy and feed hair really well once you get used to the long teeth. Those having trouble with the 0 guard.. you need to use it like a 0 guard not a half guard. 0 guards blend the hair into the 1 guard with little to no lever play and cut more flush than half guards do. It will leave a faint line depending on hair texture or how much of a scoop motion you use when fading. All you have to do is take the guard off and clean it afterward where ever it needs it which is super quick and easy.

[@alvi_flow]

Super helpful thanks bro!

[@ognyantsochev4303]

yes exactly, it doesnt cut as short as the tight guards, so i take it off and play w the lever open no guard

[@CallsignEsquire]

Rebels with the stretch bracket and dub guards are phenomenal 🔥🔥🔥

[@TankBeChoppin]

Yeah they work better with the stretch in my opinion

[@datnigha1]

Dam I Didn't even bother using the stretch, guess I'm ah have to now.

[@jokerboi526]

Exactly what i was looking for. Thanks man.

[@Tatdude]

I think stylecraft made the gaurds slightly smaller to compensate for the stretch bracket 🤷‍♂️

[@rachelleensor3147]

I honestly think there's a huge difference between the magnetic purple ones from Andis & the magnetic s/c black ones! One of my guards broke after 2 weeks of owning them. They are a really soft, flimsy plastic so I wasn't really surprised.

[@marriuszek]

u mean sc/gamma guards? I have them and they are hell of a tough ones. How did you made them to break?

[@jasonmercurio1928]

Great review tank! I have both sets. I want to love those Babyliss guards so much… But every time I use them. A bunch of hair just gets clogged up between the teeth. And I feel like I’m constantly going to my air gun, to clean the clipper out. I don’t know if anybody else is having issues with this. They are very durable. But I just feel that they are just a bit too thick for my taste. I’m just so used to the wahl half guards. I feel like the other half guards, just don’t do much🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

[@TankBeChoppin]

I've noticed That does happen when you use them on other clippers

[@jasonmercurio1928]

@@TankBeChoppin Does it happen when you use your low pro?

[@TankBeChoppin]

@@jasonmercurio1928 no. Just my rebels

[@hammiethebarber4254]

I agree bro…hair gets clumped up in my babyliss guards and I gotta take the guard off every few strokes…I just can’t get over the thickness .just so thick and I like a thinner guard

[@jasonmercurio1928]

@@hammiethebarber4254 I know, it kind of sucks because they are so durable. But I’m definitely a fan of the dubs

Exact info i was searching for thank you

[@TankBeChoppin]

Thanks for watching

[@RobertElChuntaro]

Babyliss premium has the best half guard everrrre in my opinion

[@TankBeChoppin]

I agree lol

[@Thetruth3434]

It’s crazy

[@user-sn7ee4fk3g]

Thanks for all your info ..your always thorough and give a good video. I view a lot of yours.🥰

[@TheSoldierBarberLife]

Great review and comparison. I currently have both and just used the dubs for the first time a couple days ago and was surprised how much I liked them. Only issue I had was the zero not being low enough like the Wahl or babyliss zero. Looking forward to using the babyliss premium guards as well soon

[@TankBeChoppin]

Yeah the zero can be an issue sometimes

[@Mike-hy8cs]

Its more like a andis 0 thats why. 0 guards are not the same as half guards. They are made to blend into the 1 guard closed easier and faster. It will usually leave a faint line that you remove with no guard open or slightly closed to complete the blend. Less lever play needed gets right to the point.

[@shechoseme]

@@Mike-hy8cs hmm so how you use em ? Far as blending wise

[@Mike-hy8cs]

@@shechoseme its all technique. A 0 guard closed will blend into a 1 guard closed. You dont even need to open the lever up. Once you connected the lengths together you use no guard and clean up anything it cant grab. Its a fast efficient way to blend and get to the detailing faster. Half guards require more lever play and still a lot of times force you to go back with no guard to clean it up. The most important part of every haircut is the detailing part. You want to get to that part quickly and efficiently to not waste time so you can get to the real part of the haircut.

[@shechoseme]

@@Mike-hy8cs let’s say I’m doing a fade .. I go clippers close, open no guard, then 1 open… where does this 0 guard fit in between I usually switch to thr thr. Wahl 0.5 guard .. I didn’t know how to use the sc 0 guard since it’s so big

[@jt2475]

I reach for my wahl pro guards the most especially the 1.5 when I’m fading up to braids

[@MikeDMedia816]

I got the babyish premium about a month ago, my half guard has a few tips that have broke off already, also they collect and clog up with hair way to easy....

[@BigT1523]

I have all 3 and the Wahl Premium guards are the best!!!! Good review Tank!!!!

[@TankBeChoppin]

I put my wahl guards away lol

[@stephendonnini6682]

The dubs work so well especially in fine straight hair like blond kids hair wahl leaves lines but the gamma’s hair feed and blend hair great. Wahl still has the best 0 guard imo.

[@Geeboats]

There's no dub no 8 guard which annoys me

[@joeskichavez395]

Good review, Tank. 👍🏾💯

[@TankBeChoppin]

Thanks joeski

[@3silver4beast59]

When will they make premium guards for the FX3

[@MrCatchafade]

I use the babyliss premium 0, wahl premium 1 and 1.5 and the 2, 3 and 4 that came with the stylecraft ergos

[@TankBeChoppin]

I've seen some barbers do that and it works great for them 💪🏽💪🏽

[@Rezamajedi]

I used both of them and I like double magnetic gamma, Babyliss guard when i use it it's got gap between the guard teeth and the clipper cutting blade and hair always stuck there and it doesn't do bulk the way that I should do

[@TankBeChoppin]

I've heard people say that. Sorry that's happening with you.

[@Rezamajedi]

@@TankBeChoppin it doesn't happen with you at all?

[@RustyBlades]

Great review buddy I really like the babyliss guards I just don’t like how they clog up 😞

[@TankBeChoppin]

Not sure why they do that tho. 🤔 maybe so you buy a Babyliss clipper lol

[@RustyBlades]

Do you find the Gamma Dubs loose on the LoPro Fx buddy

[@TankBeChoppin]

@@RustyBlades slightly. But the magnets help them not move. I think the wedge blade is slightly smaller. Like not even noticeable until u put guards on

[@RustyBlades]

@@TankBeChoppin have you changed the blade on the LoPro would the fusion blade be ok?

[@infiniteg7852]

@@RustyBladesdid you get you answer? Will the Gamma dubs fit the lo pro FX ones, with no rattle ?

[@anthonylimen8511]

Wahl guard can fit? The gamma+ x ergo

[@neil231]

I use the BabyLiss Premium..

[@victorsandoval3690]

Stylecraft guards and babyliss guards are both nice but for the o n 1 n 1 1/2 I use wahl because the Grey o guard and the 1 1/2 white are really on point and after that it doesn't matter to me which other guards I use.

[@TankBeChoppin]

I never liked the white 1.5. Never fit on the clippers lol

[@BlakeSuperior_Beats]

Are either of them measurably BETTER than the Wahl premium guards though? I've been perfectly happy with mine and don't really see any reason to switch, TBH. Then again, that's exactly how I feel about my Wahl Seniors too.

[@TankBeChoppin]

I like the Babyliss guards better than the wahl Premiums. After I got those in I stopped using my wahl premiums

[@BlakeSuperior_Beats]

@@TankBeChoppin I appreciate that recommendation. Might have to give them a try!

[@darinjenkins7954]

@@TankBeChoppin why..

[@bartolorivera4425]

The 0 guard in gamma / SC GUARD is the equivalent to 1/2 wahl guard if you look at the millimeters on both they have the same specs

[@datway._luis]

but they dont cut the same

[@_mattcuts2984]

I can see you been using the babyliss ones more lol

[@TankBeChoppin]

I use em a little more lol

[@_mattcuts2984]

@@TankBeChoppin 🤣 I wish the numbers would stay on 🤦‍♂️

[@seanjohnpryce]

Love the SC guards Babyliss premium guards are too thick other than the zero and the hair gets trapped gotta keep brushing it out. SC dubs for the win 🏆

[@infiniteg7852]

What’s the difference between the S/C Guards and Gamma ??

[@traejayblendz9360]

Either or still get the job done. Both of them work well in my opinion.🤷🏾‍♂️

[@mikeanthony4253]

Would you give up the wall premium for any of these? I’ve tried using the gamma dubs And for some reason they just aren’t making the cut for me, but I have yet to try the baybliss Premiums.

[@TankBeChoppin]

I didn't at that but yes. I actually haven't used the wahl guards since I got the Babyliss premium guards

[@jcramirez77]

use wahl or babyliss .5 guard, the dub 0 guard dont cut close enough but the rest of the dubs are great
