    You inspired me. I bought it and it will come today. My husband's been going blind and informed me three days ago he can no longer see to shave. So, I'm going to have to do it. I'm nervous but he just wants his hair shaved off short and shave him as close as I can with this clipper set then I'll do the fine shave with a razor. Wish me luck. #lifegoeson Blessings...

    If you guys have long hair on sides and back then I suggest cutting with anything higher then a 15ml guard so that your hair is short because it makes seeing all the guidelines a lot easier.

    My girlfriend started doing my hair around 10 years ago, it was a learning process for her I had some really bad ones, when we broke up I started doing it I've pretty much mastered it but I don't do the fade I just take A3 the whole way around the back and sides, then I kind of wet the top and cut it with scissors, it usually turns out very well but the bangs are a little tough and that thinning scissor trick I definitely need to get, I just ordered this new Clipper set I'm really looking forward to it I know I'm two years late but for twenty bucks I figured I'd try it something different than my old plug-in one. I usually use a 3 I'm not sure which one I would use on these their marked differently

  • @Rkanium
    @Rkanium Рік тому +1

    Thanks Alex!! you are the man!!! Okay honestly I was afraid to try this since a lot of people discouraged me that without a lever you won't make a proper fade but I made this today and it turned out amazing! I would say it looks decent as first fade attempt starting from zero never bad at all! I mean this motivates me to buy a pro clippers it is definitely a worth investment and it will make it way easier but for those who got like this trimmer trust me you will make a nice haircut with it just follow the steps! and here is extra notes from me:
    1. battery may die on you if you spend so much time so be careful or feel free to do it on two sessions if necessary
    2.make you sure you really keep track of the lines you created, start with one side first to make it easier and so that you do not go higher by accident on the other side
    3. be really patient with using the edge of 1mm guard i know it takes time but it will knock out the hard lines if you do exactly what Alex did
    4. if you screw something up because starting with zero can be critical I believe if you have some experience cutting your own hair it can be possible to fix it
    5. now you have no reason not try giving yourself a fresh cut with a budget trimmer!

    Hello Alex, you really brought it to perfection! If all those barbers were able to cut the hair that accurately. And you cut your own hair by looking into a mirror. One thing is definitely helpful that you have a very good hair growth. Perfect fading always! Take care and stay healthy! Greetings from Germany 👍🍀

    Just bought this one at a Truck Stop because the Andis Master I had just started getting louder and wouldn't cut anymore so I threw it. Bought this Phillips just because of your review and I actually got a shower and tried your self hair cutting tips and dam it worked. Not as good as yours but it's a way better feeling. It's hard for truckers to find barbers and it would've cost more $30 than this $24 norelco 3000. Thanks for your video and I'll be subscribe and learn more from you. Definitely comes in handy when traveling.

    Hi Alex, thanks so much for the videos. Something I don't get: when you're fading the hard lines how come you use the same guard length? For example to fade the 3mm and 5mm you use the 3mm again. How come?

    Thank you for the video! I was tired of paying to barbers and all the time fixing their job in home , so I decided to do my hair myself. I have Braun trimmer without regulation as yours and I followed your example. First it felt uncomfortable watching in the mirror and shaving but I learned that you need to focus on your head on not the mirror. To make the fading effect I just pressed the trimmer harder to the skin - it works! Good luck to everyone who will do this for first time! By the way don't be shocked after your start with the zero and you feel uncomfortable to move your hand. 😁👌
