What is the Stretch Bracket? Gamma Boosted Fusion / Faper Blade

[@Uhipolito288]

Im a beginner barber and i just upgraded from my corded seniors to the boosted, thanks for your opinion on them helped me to learn more I could always count on you with honesty about barbering👍

[@Seancutshair]

Awesome! You’re welcome 🙏🏼

[@nyxo_wz]

What ist better , fade Blade or Fusion Blade ? And can i put the Fusion Blade on the babyliss machine ?

[@Seancutshair]

I like the fusion and yes Babyliss makes a mim blade now that is that style

[@nyxo_wz]

@@Seancutshair so in your opinion the Fusion Blade is better ? And wich Clipper ? Fx boost or Rebel?

[@alexsantiago357]

Thank you for your time and info...I ordered the boosted, instinct clippers and trimmer with the foil shaver . Used your code

[@Seancutshair]

Nice 👌🏻 will be a solid setup

[@tommy.97]

When I take out the clicker and have the stretch bracket installed, I find that with pressure, the blade will start closing… like from fully open to where the 5th notch is

[@Seancutshair]

Have to tighten the lever enough so that doesn’t happen

[@houseofshavesbarbershop]

Do you have a video where you go in-depth on how you connect the length you cut with the stretch bracket to the length you cut with the regular taper blade?

[@Seancutshair]

Every tutorial that’s how I do it so just pick one 👌🏻

[@Shmack_]

Yea I hate the new colors only black, pink or white. Maybe I'll have someone airbrush the white one

[@oriolinton]

im glad that i looked at this video before i emailed you about the stretch bracket. I was thinking that with the addition of the bracket, you are able to get a smoother transition from your no guard closed to open.. only thing is that my clippers are set so well and crunch so well that im afraid to take them apart and have to adjust as i go forward with more cuts. I dont think they will ever be the same if I alter them now. My 5 stars and designers went trough this.. my designers were the ones but when i adjusted them they were never the same.. got them decent but never the same. My 5 stars on the other hand were less desireble for me especially not being the best with the fade blade right away. i changed to a faper blade and they got louder but not better.. i know its a customize at your own risk type of thing, but is it really worth it when you have some hitters but dont really want to lose the ability for the equipment to remain with a premium vibe... i will also say that i dont really like how im not able visually see the difference from my first guideline put in with a trimmer, to the no guard open. My no guard open is still so low that it hard to distinguish the lower guideline under it.. thanks for the information and all the good content.

Hi guys what’s the difference between Sc fusion and gamma italia blade Which one is better Thanks for answering

[@Seancutshair]

Gamma Italia isn’t a specific blade I think it says that on most of their blades. The fusion/faper is a cross between a fade blade and a taper blade

[@nurulamin2992]

I stopped using my Gamma fade blade or the taper blade... it gets unbearably hot. I just put a Wahl blade on it with a ceramic cutting blade, the boosted gets really loud with a regular steel Wahl cutting blade. I love the Boosted, great clipper but I absolutely hate how the blade wiggles on the bracket... I heard applying threadlocker on the lever screw will fix that, but that is a poor manufacturing defect. My next clipper will the the trusted Magic Clip or I'll just go back to the Seniors.

[@Seancutshair]

I haven’t had any issues with mine I’m on my second set. Don’t know what’s causing all that

[@Swiftsounds]

have sort of the same issue. they’re a little on the warm side after short use

[@saidzueke4782]

Nothing beats wahl blades

[@nurulamin2992]

Just a quick update: my colleague "dropped" my Boosted and the clocks somehow "fell out" 😒.. but now I find the bracket doesn't wiggle and the blade is secure. I have now reverted back to the original Gamma Boosted cutting blade with the faper blade and man! This machine is awesome. I find the blade still does warm up slightly, but the secure blade without the clicks combined with the faper blade is a winner! I pretty much have a Magic Clip blade setup on my Wahl corded Icons, but the Boosted is now my go-to. Great clipper! 🎉

[@arnie1008]

So what does the stretch bracket do?like whats the advantage opening the clipper more Is it better for fading?

[@Seancutshair]

It makes the gap between sections a little smaller. Easier to blend each step

Right after I watched this I bought them, and the MB grape guards. I've never done more than clean up my neckline, behind my ears, and my sideburns, I don't know much about clippers so seeing that this looks sleek and has a click lever made me instantly want to buy it and try to fade my own hair. also, I know many people prefer the faper blade. is the stock fade blade difficult to use or whats the difference, Any tips ??

[@Seancutshair]

Nice! And no the fade blade is fine lots of people love them. Just not my preference but you’ll be fine with it

[@cliffordtorres7207]

I have a question if you can answer it? I tied to put the bracket on and the lever screw just keeps turning, screw won’t come off, is this a defect or do you happen to have a solution for this, any help is greatly appreciated

[@Seancutshair]

If it’s an older clipper it had plastic threads instead of metal. It’s more than likely stripped. You could try using lock tite to hold it

[@cliffordtorres7207]

Yeah it’s different from this video you have a pink piece inside and mine is white smh knew something was wrong, I appreciate you responding and keep up the great work and content, your a blessing brother!!

[@Alizendehdel996]

So I found the solution! The blade is wobbling due to the guard lever not being screwed tight enough, I know in the video Sean mentions to not screw it too tight as it will be difficult to push it up or down, which is true but the solution is that you used the RED lever as it has a slightly different shape to the black lever it allows it to tighten further without it rubbing against the side of the clipper body. Long story short follow everything in the video above, but USE THE RED LEVER INSTEAD OF THE BLACK (it will not have a the spring or the little stop for the click like the black one or gold one does to begin with) and make sure it’s as tight as possible whilst still being able to manoeuvre between guard open/closed.

@Seancutshair i have a problem with original bracker on my alpha. It looks like it is crooked a little. When you switch from lever completly closed to one point higher, only one side of a bracket moves. It is the side on the side of lever. When i was trying to squeeze it a little to fit bracket slider properly, it starts to move very resistive. I was also trying oiling it to perform a better slide. Is there any proper way to fix it? Any other brand does not have this problem. :(
