can one put a clipper guard on a detachable blade clipper?

Those are what I use. I use them once a week... Had them for about six months. Read they use the same motor as some higher priced Wahl's (it's posted in here.)
You don't NEED an expensive clipper, but there is also no point in spending $30 on a decent one if you can get the professional ones for $40. I'm not saying you have to buy Andis Masters for $100, but there are some professional clippers that can be had at very reasonably prices. If you really want the best fades, you need the professional ones.
So these are the way to go?

they are expenisve compared to other sites and ebayfrom what i sawThe Atlanta barber supply has Very good prices and super fast shipping. I ordered my andis masters from them they got the best price I could find
Those are balding clippers or for people who like a really close cut like how T.I. rock his hair. Same motor yes but the blades are different and the way it feels in your hand.Yup, those are the best value on the market. Same motor and blade as the Wahl 5-Star Senior I think.
Sorrysup nt fam,
im looking for some clippers/trimmers for my beard/mustache...but I need a solid amount of guard options. Right now, I have some cheappos and only have one guard that trims is low enough. any recommendations for clippers that are durable with a lot of good guard options? price doesnt matter, im willing to invest.
also need a good solid trimmer. i dont have a ton of facial hair all over, so i want to have precise trimming capability...open to that being the same clipper/trimmer...or open to having one separate for just the trimming.
anybody got any ideas?
did you read others posted and especially what i just posted above. your question is answered
For the guard I have one #2 stainless steel guard. it cost me $20 at the beauty store
pretty large thread, but understand not wanting to be redundant.
but how does you having one #2 stainless steel guard speak to what i asked about? maybe im just not plugged into the workings of real clippers, but im looking for the ability to trim my facial hair very precisely. as in various guard options/lengths. right now i only have one.

i just got rid of mines and got the andis envy and wahl heros for liners now and I love them. If you like close fades then get the Andis Fade Envys. Both only run like $35 each
I know my stuff. I have been cutting my hair for 20 years now. only been to the barber probably 5 times in those 20 years
My Styliner IIs stopped working though, so I recommend the T-Outliner lol. I can't for the life of me get it to run again. I think something is wrong with the motor and not the blade.
Open it up and clean the hair off of the motor and wiring. One of my pairs of trimmers does the same thing after a few months.
Tips on taper?
Dude you just agreed with what i said and you have no clue. I have been cutting my own hair and others for 20 years straight,I appreciate you trying to help people in this thread, but that is completely incorrect. The Wahl 5 Star Magic Clip is an all around fading clipper that is compatible with Wahl clipper guards. The Magic Clip is $40 and the Andis Envy is $35, but the Magic Clip is way better. Don't waste money on an Andis clipper unless it's the Andis Master. I cut my own hair with the Wahl 5-Star Senior and it fits in my hand just fine. I don't know what you're talking about, homie.
i taper my hair with the Andis Envy. I usually rock 360 waves with taper on sides and back

And you agreed with what i said. A FADE usually take some balding of the skin. The magic star is for tight fade fades and or balding . Basically the blades on the 5 star cut real close
The Andis Envy is not no junk at all trust me. Did you see the reviews. have you ever used them? i have them now and they are one the best all around clippers I ever used.
Nobody cutting their own hair need the andis masters. those are proffesional barber clippers
And the 5 star do not fit in my hand right COMPARED to the Andis Envy. They 5 star are huge.Now if you were cutting somebody else hair they will fit right but when cutting your own hair it is kind of hard compared to the Andis Envy
For the price, quality and cutting the Andis Envys rock!

[COLOR=#red]I know nothing about cutting hair, but would I be able to use these to take my hair low? I don't care about a line up or anything... Thanks in advance[/COLOR]
Yes, how close are you trying to get? If you open the blade all the way, it is technically a 1 (1/8th of an inch). When you close the blade all the way it's a 0. There's no such thing as an actual 0 because completely zero-gapping the blade would make them dangerous and possibly draw blood. Clippers usually cut 0 at the lowest, and trimmers/outliners are gapped to 000.
