BLADE INFORMATION

Both clippers and trimmers have fixed (also called static) and moving (also called cutting) blades. There are several different types of blades that are made of different materials and have different teeth for different purposes.

FIXED BLADES	MOVING/CUTTING BLADES

Fixed/static blades have this name because they don't move. They comb and lift the hair so that the moving blade can grab and cut.	Moving/cutting blades sit underneath the fixed blade. They oscilate (move) back and forth horizontally to cut the hair.

MATERIALS


Black Diamond Carbon is our specialized material of diamond-like carbon that stays cooler, rust free and sharper longer than traditional stainless steel blades. Ideal for the coolest operation.	Gold Titanium is our high-hardness, durable material for blades and cutters that have hypoallergenic properties which are perfect for sensitive skin.

Japanese premium blades are made of the highest quality stainless steel, which stays sharp, lasts longer, and is a harder material than standard steel.	*Ceramic* blades are one of the sharpest and stay sharper longer. It's often recommended to use different material fixed and cutting blades for the ultimate performance.

CLIPPER BLADES

	FIXED PREMIUM ECHO BLADE The ECHO blade has a NEW 'crunch function' allows for thinner and deeper grooves while emitting a crunchy sound when cutting the hair. Perfect for effortless and easy bulk removal.
	FIXED FADE BLADE A FADE blade is typically flat, thin and great for taking out the bald line during transition. Ideal for zero guide line fading and blending. Usually the sharpest, closest cut outside of a balding blade.
	FIXED TAPER BLADE A TAPER blade has a slight angle where the tips of the blade slope down slightly to help lift the hair when cutting. This is a thicker blade with ridges, often used more for bulk cutting.
	FIXED FAPER BLADE The FAPER blade is a hybrid between a fade and taper blade. It is thinner than a taper blade and similar to a fade blade in thickness, but still has ridges like a taper blade. Faper blades are great all-round blades: our most popular fixed clipper blade.
	SLIM DEEP MOVING BLADE The SLIM DEEP tooth cutting blade is lightweight. Designed for faster blade movement and enhanced cutting performance. With longer teeth and smaller gaps between the teeth, it is great for all types of textured hair. Excellent for edge-ups and detailing. The most popular choice of cutting blade for clippers!
	SHALLOW TOOTH MOVING BLADE The SHALLOW TOOTH blade is our most lightweight cutting blade for clippers. It is great with any combination of our fixed clipper blades for really close and smooth cutting.
	STAGGERED CERAMIC MOVING BLADE The STAGGERED CERAMIC cutting blade is made from white ceramic that is gentle on the skin, whilst also remaining cool, sharp and rust-free.

TRIMMER BLADES

	FIXED X-PRO WIDE BLADE The X-PRO blade is extra wide for more coverage, hanging excessively over the edge on each side of the trimmer more than a traditional size trimmer fixed blades. A perfectly balanced blade for superior sharpness, extreme precision and covering larger areas faster.
	FIXED ULTIMATE 2.0 BLADE The ULTIMATE 2.0 blade is ideal for high precision cutting and fine line work. It is exceptionally sharp; double honed for ultimate sharpness.
	FIXED CLASSIC BLADE The CLASSIC T-shape blade is ideal for all general trimming. The special Japanese convex and hollow grinding process create a perfectly balanced blade for superior sharpness and extreme precision.
	"THE ONE" MOVING BLADE "THE ONE" cutting blade gives the crunchiest, smoothest cutting with no pulling or snagging. The beveled design cuts closer to the skin, like a balding effect in pace of using a razor.
	SHALLOW TOOTH STEEL MOVING BLADE The SHALLOW TOOTH cutting blade is designed for faster movement and enhanced cutting performance. It has shorter teeth, smaller gaps, and is great for sensitive skin.

BLADE MAINTENANCE

Failure to properly maintain your blades can result in skin irritation and cross contamination between clients, possibly leading to infections.

To clean your blades, gently brush to clear debris (or spray pressurised cleaning gas), oil generously, then wipe clean with a dry cloth. It is recommended to do this at least daily, preferably perform cleaning in between each client.

For deep cleaning, we recommend removing the blades and blade carrier from the tool, wiping away any excess debris and build up of hair (or spray pressurised cleaning gas), spraying with a high-grade cleaning disinfectant, wiping with a dry cloth and oiling generously along the bottom of the teeth, not lower near the screw area. For clippers, the oil should be applied while the clipper is running to allow the oil to lubricate the blades. Please ensure any excess oil is wiped off once the clipper is turned off.

Depending on your daily use, it is recommended to change your clipper/trimmer blades every 1 to 4 months for maximum performance.

For shavers, we recommended cutter and foil head replacement every 3-4 months, or as needed depending on usage. Also cleaning after each use.
