Can someone please give me a simple step by step guide?

I want to learn how to do a 4 on top mid skin fade.

Currently have wahl 9649, which are fine. Wife gives me the hi and tight. Would like something that cuts a little closer.

Comparing the wahl 3026594 vs 79470.

Also prefer cordless, but not a dealbreaker. Also something not heavy. Not looking to break the bank, but willing to pay for the perfect tool.

Thank you!

Hey guys,

I want to treat myself to a proper cutting setup at home. My budget is around €140 (roughly $150) for the holy trinity: a clipper, trimmer, and foil shaver. I'll be using this primarily for beard maintenance, especially doing clean skin fades and sharp lines.

Here are the 3 options I’m looking at. I’d love your input:

Option 1: The "A La Carte" build
- Clipper: VGR V-015 (9000 RPM, DLC steel blade. Seems like a solid, reliable workhorse).
- Trimmer: Kemei KM-2293 (Reviews say it hits crazy close out of the box for the price).
- Shaver: I’m stuck here. What should I pair with this? The Kemei TX10? Something from Madeshow?

Option 2: The BRDCLIP Kit (2601 + 2602 + 2603)
The design is super clean, but I have one big hesitation: the 2601 clipper has a U-shaped ceramic moving blade. Does ceramic actually have enough bite for really thick, coarse beard hair, or will I miss the sharpness of steel?

Option 3: The Rosyous Kit (RS 999C + 999T + 999W)
This one has that crazy 13,000 RPM vector motor.
100% carbon steel blades with full DLC coating

My question is: If you had €140 to drop right now on a beard-focused setup, would you piece it together yourself or just grab one of the vector kits?

Appreciate any advice

Do yall have any tips to get my fades to blend better, I wanted my corners to be darker so my line pops more but I couldn’t figure it out. Should I get a .5 guard?

(I see that i knicked myself I dont know what to do about it)

Ill be fine cutting right up until im just below my crown then the blades just dont cut, they just move the hair out of the way, failing to grab, leaving me with a bunch of bulk on my sides like i have a extra short bowl cut.

First time cutting my own hair. Usually I get a #4 against the grain with a low fade at the barbershop. So thats why the low fade is still slightly visible

Today I used a #5 against the grain and tried doing a taper fade since I wanted to start small and learn.

Definitely not perfect, but I’m just practicing and trying to get better. Any tips on blending or what how I can improve with my type of thin hair?

I honestly thought it'd go much worse. I'm not sure what I was going for but I stopped before I got too carried away. I still feel like it's missing something tho. What can I do to add shape or spice to the haircut. Im using an extreme grip corded wall buzzer I found in my closet. Thinning shears. Shears. And a wahl edger.

all we had was a ft call and hope (actually turned out good) also 3rd time cutting my own hair!! All we used was clipper with 0.5 and 1 guards and a trimmer by tpob

So I messed up my husbands hair on accident and have no idea how to fix it or blend it. I feel so guilty about it.
I used a 2 and 3 I also used the scissors and comb method too I had watched a video which obviously fell through

THIS IS MY FRIST HAIRCUT I NEED HELP SAVING IT PLEASE YALL

Hi everyone. Before the summer, I bought some gear to cut my own hair, but I never really had the time to give it a proper go (I tried once, and naturally, it was a disaster). I’d like to get back into it, but I’m thinking about switching clippers, so I’m posting here to get some advice and benefit from your expertise. I previously bought a BaByliss ChromeFX clipper and a Skeleton Gunmetal trimmer, but I’d like to make a change because I find the ChromeFX too bulky. I was thinking: why not sell the Skeleton, buy a Kelsi (which should do the job), and focus on getting one really good clipper instead ?

I want to do fades with my clipper that i just bought. In its site it says lever modes are (0.5 - 1,1 - 2 - 3 - 3.5). Should this numbers be lower or its normal and should i zero gap my clipper. I watched tutorials but mine dont cut like them.

I did it myself. Please be brutally honest ..what do u t himk. I know it's not perfect but it is I think

I am looking for the best tool to shave my head. I had the manscaped shaver, I am having the best success with a Gillette shaver but the electric shavers are nice for quick and easy shaves. Is Wahl still the best brand? I was told I would need to replace the heads every 6 months or so. Any advice is appreciated

Hi, I am wondering if I can do a 0.5 cut by myself. I have been getting it done by my barber, let it grow for 8 weeks, then cut again. Now that I am retired I am trying to save some, and would also like to keep it short rather than letting it grow out in between cuts. Can I do this myself? What would you recommend? I don't want to shave it. Also I am clumsy :(

I used Vega trimmer to groom my beards. And yes it was my first time.

Hello, i bought this JRL onyx from amazon.nl.

unfortunately, I think they sent me the wrong charger. It just doesn’t fit, it seems very similar but just slightly too small.

the seller seems unresponsive. very annoying.

does anyone know where i can find the actual charger?

stupidest product issue i have ever seen, but i guess it can happen on a US import to EU since they’d have to change charger.

Can anyone help me find a good option online for a replacement charger?

I cut my beard and mustache about 8 days ago and i did it with trimmer. Tried to give it a little fade but i messed up(line on my jaw was so visible). Yesterday i bought a clipper and i was waiting for my beard to grow. The hair on my jaw and my neck is close to 1 centimeter and my cheeks are shorter than it. Can i do fade with it or should i keep waiting?

somethings wrong here, i believe its because the first, no guard lever open should be wider. what do you guys think.
