🔥 Check out my tutorial using these clippers
ua-cam.com/video/lGPK5Sbf3kc/v-deo.html ⚠️
Started with a Wahl Super Taper that was soon replaced by the 5 Star Senior. I mostly only use it with the nr 2 guard so I am replacing it for the main cutting with an Oster 97-44 with nr 2 blade and using the Wahl with guards for anything longer or shorter. Overkill for somebody that only cuts his own hair, I know...
So I've been playing aroind with my Cordless Seniors and the guide blade shifts, no matter how tight I make the screws. I've swapped parts out and the issue of the blade shifting remains. This is not the first pair of Seniors I've seen this happen with. Wahl needs to get on this.
**UPDATE**
The part known as the Blade Slide is shifting in the grooves - This could be a metal on metal issue, or a less than optimal groove spacing, due to mass production variances..but they need to fix it.
Ahh ok I c. I’ve heard a few other people talk about this. I figured it must’ve been the brackets or something
@@TankBeChoppin The only make-shift solution I've found is to tighten your lever, which will firmly secure one side of the slide. But your lever is going to be a bitch to you, lol.
This is great info to know. Thank u for the heads up on this.
thank you. if there is no more battery or battery too old to work, can it be used only with cord?
Comes with half, 1, and 1 1/2 premium guards.
Yes they do
Lovin my cordless Senior's. Great Tutorial bro🔥🔥🔥
Dave Medel glad you enjoyed it
appreciate for the vid i’m definitely gon buy em🔥
The important question nobody seems to be answering is CAN YOU SWAP OUT THE BATTERY WHEN IT DIES? PLEASE ANSWER IF YOU KNOW. THANKS.
You can if you have another battery. I actually put a battery n mine that lasts longer. But I rarely use them now
Would the Senior be a good choose for just cutting 3mm no fade or nothing. I don't know the difference on blades etc... Just för my own use. Thank's
I have one but i dont like it. Too heavy and get holds easily
Definitely going to purchase. Appreciate the info bro. 🦾
How is the Wahl Senior Cordless 5 Star for beards? I just bought one for home use on my beard. I also bought the metal clip guides with all sizes. Do you think that was overkill?
They come with 3 guards 4.5 mm, 3mm, and 1.5mm
And how have they been long term?? Thanks.
Good video bro. Ive been fading my hair the last few weeks using an old set of wahl clippers. Trying to decide of either purchasing the corded 5 star seniors , the wahl chrome or the wahl elite pro. Which clippers are best for fading your own hair?
I like the seniors. But I think it’ll be personal preference
@@TankBeChoppin Thank you for replying. Apreciate it. 👍
I don’t get the point of the 5 star Corded seniors, the cheaper 5 star magic corded clippers Have the same motor and blade. So what’s the point of a corded 5 star senior then?
whats the difference between this and the wahl senior? I just bught the wahl senior 5 star for $106 free shipping. Amazon has the wahl senior for $120 and im wondering if im missing out on anything
Itskelvinn regular senior has a different blade than the 5 star senior
Itskelvinn, where did buy it, I want to buy one, now Amazon is selling them for around $220
@@davidc2023 check out sally beauty. they ship almost anywhere and i think the price is still low
can i put my magic clip blades on it? i got a new ceramic blade and the other one is already worn in so it’s more gentle
Yeah that blade should fit
As always bomb video 👍
Can the Magic Clip cordless attachment combs also be used for senior citizens? Got Magic Clip cordless but also ordered the senior and found out that senior only 3 attachable combs are thanks and greetings
Yes it’s the same guards / combs
@@TankBeChoppin thank you Sir
Hey boss, I heard from other barbers that the wahl fade blade "snags" on the skin, so tell me the truth do they or do they not snag the skin??
jose ramirez hmm. I haven’t ran into that problem yet. If they happen to do so I’ll let u know
Set the blades right when zeroing out. Should never be a problem 😁
The previous 5 star Seniors turn off abruptly when battery is low. Leaning towards the older version over the magic clips, but can you buy the different blades separately such as the staggered magic clip ones (Wahl or no name) or do you need to buy the magic clip to get the staggered blade?
You can change the blade fairly easy. If it fits it works
Magic clip blade better than senior or no ?????
Love the walh love the blade. surgical blade.
antonio medina yessir. Great clipper. Especially for the price
The lever feels weak, but no other issues...
Have you tried tightening it
@@TankBeChoppin yes but it flexes more than the corded ones
Loving your reviews. Keep it up.
Terence Millet thank you 🙏🏽
@@TankBeChoppin yo pimpin have u ever used the corded wahl seniors and if u have do thay cut as good as the cordless seniors
Finally bought me some seniors so I can compare them to my magic clips
What you think?? Which is better
@@loydsmith7297 I like them better in different aspects lol. I think the magic clips are easier to fade with, but the seniors are stronger and cut faster. I have to make a lot of passes with the magic clips. I’ll say the MC are easier for beginners
@@daseancedoesgeek2667 appreciate it 🙏🏽that’s good to know cause I was looking for clippers that will help me fade smoothly and easier ( I got short hair ) My Walmart clippers had me trying to fade my hair for hours trying to get that line out
Hey brother.
How do you like them a year later? Are they still running well?
@@SJ-nl6xl yea, a year better I can confidently say that i think the seniors hold up well
Good review! U should review and cut with manual clippers..that would make for a interesting vid
Ooooweee that sounds like it could be fun
@@TankBeChoppin i think u got this with the manual clippers..get germs and hating matts opinions lol
Hey boss my new cordless seniors sound like they have more power when plugged in. Is this normal or should it sound the same when running off the battery power?
Alexpaz1224 that sounds about right bro. Mine sound stronger plugged in or right off the charger. After I use em or take em off they automatically sound weaker
Tank Be Choppin thanks brotha .. keep up the strong work 💪💪
Thanks for the video. Did they get hot at all? Thanks!
Na man they really don’t get hot
Thanks man.
GOOD ON THE WAHL. GO CHECK OUT WHAT I DID TO THE WAHL SENIOR SERIES.
Do your seniors heat up quickly?
I haven't used them in forever. But no they didn't
Make a deal, assist to buy for me genuine one send me to qatar, we organize it.
Magic clip blade better than senior blade or no ?????
And what s better for afro hair ????
The only difference is the moving blade. Magic clip had a stagger tooth blade and the seniors is a regular blade. They both get the job done and both can do it well. But, I think the seniors are slightly stronger
Slap the babyliss pro fx blade on them 💯👀
Maybe will try that out
@@TankBeChoppin game changer fam. With that ceramic blade too. The babyliss is like a curved taper blade And comes to a sharper point at the end of the blade from what I’ve noticed when comparing the two. Super dope combo💯
Just bought it to loud why bro
I'm not sure
Say homie ima barber my self were yall located I looked it up yall in p-town? Come check you out one time for the one time 😀 get a chop for the experience
