Fade Blade Vs Taper Blade

- Have you used a taper blade on your clipper? Well after 20 years of barbering I can say most of that time I did not. This caused me to force myself to use one for a few weeks and WOW. In this video you will learn the difference and maybe I can convert you to a taper blade user as well.

Hey Eddie,
I DEFINITELY AGREE with the guy who wrote in and said he puts lines in with the taper blade and takes them out with the fade blade. I use the same system and my fades now come out the blurriest they have ever been and a lot quicker. Putting them in with the taper allows you to make soft lines that you can easily take out with the fade blade but knowing how to angle your fade blade with the extra lengths of hair from using the taper allows you the ability to really blur the hell out of your guides
Ima try this, so you blend with the fade blade correct?
Any suggestion on a good taper balde?
@@alonzo62290no lines with fade and blend with faper
@@heloooo83no bro faper is a Mix of taper fade. He said creating lines with taper and blending them with fade.
Got a wahl senior and do my own hair. These vids help me so much to get it as good as a barber. I now have short hair but when it was longer the only problem for me was clipper over comb lol, thats harddddd when you do that with your own hair. But it always looked awesome and people didnt even knew i did it myself 🤷♂️ even barbers were like what lol. So thanks for the effort, not only from you but the many youtubers that teach everything barber related 👌🏾👌🏾 apreciate it
2AM here and was about to sleep but saw this just got uploaded. So here I am!
Fire video as always! Love the energy and enthusiasm. Much love.
Love the editing in this video! Quick and to the point . Keeps the viewers attention.
you really stepped up with your videos on 2021 good for you i love the ideas and the energy you pout out
Great job on the video. I have been a barber for 34 years. And to tell you the truth. I just turn my machine on and just let it rip. Never knowing the difference between a fade blade or a taper blade. Thank you for explaining it in such great detail.
Definitely Ive been using Taper blade way more lately. I was so used to using a fade blade for all my work, but sometimes there were little lines that were tough to take out when it comes to 1 fades. Now I only use taper blade for most my work, but only use fade blade to blend from 0.5 to skin or set the 0.5 guideline for 0.5 fades. Also use the fade blade for clipper over comb or shaping afros.
Eddie, I appreciate your videos so very much. You have helped me out a lot on my fades and on what I should buy for barbering equipment. It’s a simple thank you, but it is really heartfelt!

That “but” was so unexpected 😂😂😂😂

I’m not a barber but I have been cutting hair for years. I have two sons and I cut their hair regularly but I always just used a Wahl color guard or something like that. Now I’ve become somewhat of a clipper nerd, and I bought my first cordless, a gamma protege by the way, thanks to you. Anyway, a couple months ago I broke a tooth on my Wahl blade. I had sharpened it and kept it oiled and it’s worked great for years. I went to replace it and bought a KDS fade blade, but noticed it was a little different to what I had before on the Wahl so I thought, oh maybe it was a taper blade? So I bought one of those and it too was different so what I realized is the old Wahl was sort of an in between maybe? The face plate is as thin as the fade blade, but has just a slight angle, maybe 20 degrees, sort of like a taper blade.
The taper blade that comes on the protege is nice! I thought it would take some getting used to, but it left my youngest sons fine hair tapered beautifully. I only cut him down to a 1/2 guard at the bottom, on a drop fade, so there’s a large blending area, and I’m really impressed by it. I can’t wait to buy the fusion, a.k.a faper blade, but I can’t find them. I went ahead and ordered the black taper blade for my gamma for now. I’m sure it’s going to be great too.
Love how you just simplified the blade to select ....i am leatning to cut my own hair and i was torn between the fade and tapper blades...thanks dude
This is the best explanation of fade blade vs taper blade but yes i recently switch to the taper blade and i like it a lot
Just got the Gamma absolute hitters for that drop in May. Thanks for your discount code I appreciate you!
Literally, just went over this with my students. Love the content!
@@UA-camBarberAcademy Are you using the deep tooth blade that comes with the taper blade? Or have you kept the original fine tooth blade along with the taper?
Thanks new to the barber world and content like this is very helpful. You most definitely got a new subscriber🔥🔥🔥
That was a question I have been wanting the answer to for awhile now. I have been using a fade blade. Thanks for clearing that up.. I never really understood the difference.
Good video Eddie. That fusion blade kinda looks like the blade in the oster fast feeds from what I can tell. Looking forward to the dubs. Keep up the good work.
Great info as always Thank you for passing your knowledge on 🙏
Great video I agree 100% just got into gammas two months ago love the taper blade gunna check out the fusion balde
Fire!!! Been using both fade and taper blades for about a year now.
Awesome video 💯💯 I like what you stand for bro!
Fire!🔥!! Thanks Eddie. always a good video.
#FIRE
Aspiring barber here. I honestly didn’t know there was a thing called Taper blade! Thank you for the knowledge!
Actually wahl precision blade like that fusion blade that a lot of barbers overlook bc they think it's not a professional blade bc it comes on home clippers. I've always love how they blend in hair so smoothly, very underrated blade. Oster fast feeds blade also are similar as well and we all know how they blend. GREAT VIDEO!!!
OK, I have been working on a mannequin at home to strengthen muscle memory,
and I forgot to bring my clippers home from work. I have a Wahl at home clipper, the weight of a brick, which has the precision blade on it, and could not believe how nicely I could blend from skin into no guard open! I’m laughing because it worked so well, and on mannequin skin at that, I’m gonna take that blade to the shop with me, thnx for the input!!!
I went from the Wahl Baldfader to the Legends to the Magic Clip. The Magic Clip fade blade cut lower than all the previous blades and I really liked that. Then I bought the StyleCraft Apex which also has the fade blade you demonstrated in this video, but that goes even lower than the Magic Clips. I believe these can easily take out a trimmer line, or even a bald line from a shaver.
The video was really informative bro 🔥💯💈
Loving your videos. Going to IG now. Passion for my work…..awesome videos
Going from most recent of your videos to older I'm surprised to see you without a beard!!
Fantastic video brother thank you for taking the time, I’m rocking a fade blade on my Alpha and a taper blade on my Ergos. Five years in and loved the combo off the top, are the Fusion blades available yet?
In my opinion using a fade blade for the skin to open transition is the best and then using a taper blade for everything above the half works and creates a soft smooth transition.
i cant seem to find a taper blade for the ergos?
@@thefaceofentertainment6643 the protégés come with a taper blade
I'm in my last few months of barber school and they started us off using taper blades. I just started using a fade blade. I prefer the taper blade.
It’s craY because I just changed my blades to a taper blade I’m in love with this blade thanks again
🔥🔥🔥 especially for a beginner barber like myself
Just 2 months in
I haven't used a taper in years, I'm very interested in that fusion blade I've looking for it since last year when you first were talking about it.
Where do we find one?
LOVE THESE LOVE THE CHANNEL
Thank you so much for these videos!!!! Also, I think Babyliss has a "fusion" type blade, they call it the Wedge blade.
Babyliss has a wedge blade...is that the same thing as a fusion blade? I'm a cosmetology student and these videos have been SOOOOOO helpful!!! You get so technical and in depth, where my instructors (as amazing as they are) don't get as detailed regarding men's cuts. I'm planning on getting my duel license, so I'll be a licensed cosmetologist and a licensed barber.
Didn't know about the fusion blade. Good content
Much appreciated my brother 🔥🔥
Awesome Video! Thanks for the info.
Yasssss! I just got my Absolute Alphas from Stylecraft and that came with the Fusion blade. I didn’t even notice at first but I was like man I’m cut a lot better for some reason and then... (a light from the sky) the FUSION blade!!! 🤗🥰😍🔥
I started using the fusion blade and I fell in love
Great this tutorial my friends,keep it up
You the man Eddie ! It’s always a leaning experience watching your videos! Keep up the grind ma boi
I use both.. or I mix it up in one haircuts. I might begin each guide open with the taper and use the fade close and mid way to complete the fade. If you scoop right guide are softer. Depends on the hair as well you might only you the taper for the whole cut. I use whichever blade when it presents itself of needs..
I’ve used both and still continue to use both. I like the fade blade for getting the skin line out as well as detailing, and the taper blade for fading. They both are definitely needed in the Arsenal. And once them gamma dubs come out, I will be all set!!!!
which one do you recommend then for fading in general
Keep the videos coming please Eddie.
I would say the andis master blade is like a fusion blade. Its tapered but then has a flat edge at the end of it. I think thats why its so many barbers favorite clipper blade of all time.
Dope video Eddie 🔥I actually like keeping both blades handy on my clippers and I’m thinking of picking up the Ergos soon🙏🏾 built I have a quick question Eddie, how can I build my clientele gradually if I’m in barber school and not cutting out of a shop but out my garage? My school isn’t letting us cut clients at the school “only on each other” due to COVID
Great Video buddy I’m loving both blades now I was always taper cos the fade blade scared the 💩 of me but with confidence it’s getting easier to switch between the two! But I got 3 clippers so I need a fusion on the 3rd lol #eddiesarmy
I’m an aspiring barber and I have taper blades on all my clippers cause all my favorite you tubers like taper blades
Great video. 🔥
I started my career with andis taper then switched to fade. 15 years later my system is detachable, taper, fade(if necessary) to detail
I have had the s/c taper blade on my ergos for over a month and a half and man... do I love em. Taper is the way to go.
i cant seem to find a taper blDe for the ergos? do the ones that say for alphas also fit ergos?
Taper blades are great because they leave softer guides and are forgiving. A fade blades cut closer and are great if u struggle taking the skin line out. Ive used both and i usually switch between both when i get bored and wanna switch it up
@@UA-camBarberAcademy is it problem if I use the taper blade full time?🤔
hi Eddie great content…. i am not a barber but i would like yo know what is the best blade and clipper for beard fade?
Hey man, I was at some workshop's and I see that, every master barber has taper blade on their tools, then I used just fader blades, and I didn't realize how come they moved so fast on each lines. Now I got for 5-6 months the jrl with taper blade on... Everything is easy for me, on 0+ lines, but between 0 lines and skeleton I still need the fader blades to create a soft fade. You have right in everything you said. I will test also the fusion blade to make a difference. Thanks man !💪🏼👍
Hi Eddie, Great video. I also love the taper blade for fading. I've put a taper blade on my Magic Clips to pair with the crunch cutting blade and it works fantastically well for fading, and super fast. I use the Fast Feed (or Super ZR) for the lower part of the fade which blends into the taper blade extremely easily. Been a barber for over 30 years now and used to use exclusively detachables (which I do still use) but love trying new things and experimenting/playing around with equipment. New Sub 😃
Regards, Jon.
is there a taper blade replacement for the fast feed?
@@noelrosas6504 not that I know of, I wouldn't put one on that machine anyway.
What taper blade did you put on your magic clips? (Which company is it from)
@@pauljamison5796 Standard Wahl one, if I remember correctly it was off a Super Taper cordless, but I think they are mostly the same.
I usually only use my fade blade for taking out the trimmer line up to lever open, but not typically with guards. When using guards I'd rather use a taper blade. Thanks for this video, Eddie.
That sounds like something I need to try.. skin to open taper is not a problem for me.. 1 to 2 guard is my achilles
Guards are tapered anyway so the fade vs taper blade debate is irrelevant as soon as a guard is added. It is only relevant with no guard on.
@@dannyg2311 i was just thinking about this
@@dannyg2311 true ✅
Anyone ever put a taper blade on a magic crunch blade bottom? Idk if it’s
Possible I fee I read someone say they did this. I’m finally gonna upgrade to something better than 40 dollar wahls and if it’s possible I feel that’s
The best for me , I don’t cut super short and want an easier time tapering on myself and seeing them up close made me realize I think I was struggling with a recent clipper because it didn’t have that lil extra angle that would make def haircuts way easier
Thank you for everything
Thanks for the video! I have the rebels which has a fusion blade and ergos I kept the blade it came with. What are these blades considered ?
Brooo i have that same set up on my Gamma ergo. Silver with the clear case and the gold fliker!!!💪🏼💪🏼
FIRE ❤it I use both your awesome 😅
Was the all black setup you had on the clippers the Gamma+ Ergo's or the StyleCraft Ergo's? Only asking because I thought they were the gamma+'s but I don't see them in all black, but the StyleCrafts' do. Love the setup you had wanted to price it all out for myself. Thanks brother
Man for me. The fade blade is the best For can finish a fade faster with a fade blade than with a taper blade. I like the blend that the taper blade gives on some texture but for the most part the Gamma Italia fade blade ris the best blade I've ever had. I have it installed on my JRL gold 2020cc and I'm loving it. Quiet and super clear blurry and fast fades
I Agree,,taper blade def more forgiving...
I use all three blades,,the fusion blade is my go-to for overall use,,i use the fade blade for shorter hair cuts because it cuts closer you can still achieve clean detailed fades that pops, the fade blade is also better for coarse hair,,,the taper blade is good for,,,tapering, liter fades and blending, also for tight compact fading and good for fading and blending more thin grained hair🤷🏽
I like both .. nice video
Love the taper blade on the ergo
Eddie where do get the fusion blade from?
Would love to see these blades in action on a haircut!
Cool bro anda thanks u so much helping
Hi, I have been fading haircuts for the last 6 months and have grown a passion for barbering. I really like your tutorials and how you explain how to fade. Can I send you a photo of the clipper and trimmer I'm using and if you could give me some tips since sometimes I don't really get the fades right and makes me unsatisfied. We also do not have very good barbers tools sold in the country and would really need help in getting my hands on a better barbers set.
Thanks, did send you an email but did not go through. But thanks anyway for the response.
I was all about the fade blade but I dropped my clipper and had to swap the blade to the only spare I had which was a taper blade and I’ve never looked back.
Let me make sure I’m here and you’re right did you say you can use the fusion blade like you can the taper blade?

Hi, is there a link for the taper and fusion blade that will fit the ergos? I’ve seen links for the taper blade but it says it only fits the alphas
Good job 👏🏾 👍🏿 👌🏿
I'm wondering what kind of blade comes on the ergos. It just says gamma Italia Plus I believe. But what I'm looking at is a fapor blade which I assume is the fusion blade?
The 'fusion' blade is actually equivalent to what you would call the curved fade blade, found on the babliss fx,,its thinker than the fade blade but not as thick as the taper blade
Fire!!
Thank you 👍🏻
I noticed when u were talking about the taper blade, u said u put guidlines with it closed and remove the line open? Isnt it supposed to be other way around?
I have the x ergo with that taper blade… if I want to change blade. You think its better fade or fusion blade?I mean if I take fusion I see mutch difference or it would be similar with the taper blade?
Hey Eddie! Under your white board did you draw a red little face two 👀 and a 👃😂 just looks like it and I know your always looking in the background of pics 😂. Great Depth Dive into the taper the fade and the fusion blades and what’s forgiving in the blade world!! You went deep!! 💯
What are those 2 clippers? And where can I get the blades
Great video 👍 i like the idea about instagram! Will do
I started off with the fade blade, and then switched to the taper blade. I found it easy to blend with taper blade all around, but found that the fade blade required more precision. More precision than I could muster initially. Now, I used a fade blade primarily, but specifically use guards that have more of a curve to them. I have the StyleCraft mythic with the JRL premium Guards. Due to the guards being curved, I don't put in harsh guidelines, but I still have the precision of a fade blade. Works for me
Now I know to use both thanks for that not a barber but the few people I do cut will love it
Hi can you please tell me where about to use taper clipper and where fade clipper is good and easy for zero fade ? Thanks
What about the Faper blade? Also do you just keep 2 of the same clipper with one with a fade/fusion blade and then another with the taper? You’re not swapping blades during the haircut right??
Thanks for the breakdown👌🏼 #EddiesArmy
I’m a beginner and have a fade blade and a taper blade but only 1 clipper what do you recommend to put on???? Thanks
What is the difference between the Gamma Staggered Blade Vs. Shallow Blade?+
I have the alphas with the fusion blade and I love it. I just bought the saber and I hate the fade blade. I’m definitely team fusion. I put my hard line and I never have issues taking that line out with my alphas. Ever!
