clipper blades vs guards.
Posted: Thursday, October 28, 2004 7:44:02 PM

I'm a little confused on clippers. Do some clippers have removeable blades that you use instead of using guards? Say if I want to do a number 3, so instead of using the #3 guard, I just change the blade? Are these more accurate? What is the best clipper brand for doing this? Thanks

have changable blades, as well as guards. The 3 blade is shorter than the 3 guard is though. Accuracy is in the person not the clipper. Just depends on which one works better for you.

changeable blades are much better than removable ones. I prefer Oster brand clippers. You get a much cleaner cut with removable blades.

Blades all the way here as well. The guards leave channels in the cut.

Oster 76 Clipper here, with 000 - #4 and a couple of texturising blades as well. Once I switched over years ago, I haven't looked back!

CJ-I've seen those clippers advertized with only the 000 and 1 blades included. Does Oster sell the other blades separately? And I know what you mean about the guards leaving channels in the hair. That's what bothers me the most. Thanks everyone for their input.

colouru2, yes, there are loads of different blades for the Oster 76. Your distributor or local supply house should have them, or you could also check out http://www.1-800-sunbeam.com/oster_clipper.html
