Now I know I'm late so I'm sure that a dozen nikkas schooled you before I wrote this.

I've had an andis t outliner for about 5 years now. The time and difficulty regarding adjustment(zero gapping) of the blade has been exaggerated in this thread and I've only had to repurchase a blade 4 times in that time span and and never because of rust as the andis oil undermines that issue for me. In terms of the overheating most barbers I follow either use the Wahl detailer which doesn't overheat or they do the homemade remedy by sawing off the top part of the andis. If auto zero gapping and anti-residue blades are the main elements justifying the price tag then I don't personally think it is worth it. But the market is subjective and so if others feel that those two elements justify a $200 price tag I will be pleasantly surprised, but given the aforementioned workarounds barbers have constructed over the years I am highly skeptical.

It also goes cordless

I have two andis outliners, both sawed off, both zero-gapped. It's not a matter of it being difficult to do it's all about convenience. The bevel trimmer snaps on and off, you dont have to worry about unscrewing the blade, potentially losing screws (which I have done in the past). From what I've seen in following their updates they haven't had any problem selling these things.

its worth whatever somebody is willing to pay

i would of never imagined nikkas paying over 200 bucks for headphones

Not even legitimate headphones. Them horrible sounding Beats By Dre. shyts is lowend as fukk and there's headphones out there that are cheaper that blow em out of the water. If we start talking headphones at the same price point the gap widens even more significantly. Yet people still cop that shyt. I even see DJ's and engineers who fukkin know better rockin them shyts for the name. Knowing the sound quality is terrible.

You know how dumb you sound, right? Shoes are something you walk in... Get fukked up pretty quickly. Trimmers last for YEARS!

They only last three to four years a piece with high use in general.

Beats offer color on their sound that the general consumer thinks is the greatest and that is the only reason why I see people in audio who know better rocking them.
People can shyt on beats but as far as the price it is not worth it.
Yet you may need a pair of beats to hear the color of a work that fans like.
Beats fit their niche and I understand the draw for the product.
Not the price point but I understand it.
As far as clippers go,...
Anyone who used a rechargeable liner would probably never endorse another cordless liner.
As they have a shorter shelf life than an andis liner wire based product.
Plus, regardless of company wireless liners just suck.
past the andis coming with t liner blades before they started selling them separate. Plus the selling point of the andis cordless originally was it came with a t liner blade, an outliner ii style blade and t liner blade guards.
The selling poit of the revamped liner ii style mod body silver rechargeable was it came with a 5/16 guard.
Yet it came with no tliner..
Then when the mod'd body liner ii rechargeable dropped.
The t liner silver body rechargeable was downgraded as far as extras and did not include the guards or a liner ii blade anymore.
So, if you been buying these products over the years.
This one seems like a waste.
Especially price point wise.
Plus, if you know the game.
You can go into a beauty supply and get the original t liner ii rechargeable, dead stock.
that had all the xtras and you Gucci anyway and save 150 bucks.
Or you can find the original t liner ii rechargeable online at amazon or sally's.
If you look hard enough deadstock, too.

I think Wahl has an adjustable liner out now.


That said 200 for liners isn't a good price.

shyt better come adjusted and blade replacements..

Also, on black hair.
I would not recommend lining up a cut or doing a shave with more than a 3mm with an electric anyway.
As it cuts it below the husk and will cause razor bumps in general regardless of genetics of the person you are cutting.
So, if this does not come with blades and guards.
What and why are these being priced at 200 dollars.
If anything this feels like a cop and blow type product and not a real pro product that will be around.

Kanye out here selling white tees for more than that. Go question that retarded shyt before you question a trimmer.

I am questioning all that tattoine priced ass shyt from liners to tee's.
nikkas pricing their shyt for sale like a food pack on star wars.

But son...we talking about trimmers.....trimmers

i think 200 DOLLARS for some bomb azz TRIMMERS that will give me that STRAIGHT RAZOR look is A BETTER INVESTMENT than some gottdamn RETRO styled sneakers that were made in korea for the low (JORDANS)

[Art Barr]

Also. A lot of u nikkas need to understand as far as blades go. No trimmers out the box is gonna give u the complete precision of a barber. Not even Andis T's. Barbers get their blades sharpened.

not true,....
You can grab a andis liner and if you know the technical skills to cut and get the look.
You don't have to use more than an andis 3mm standard outliner or t liner.

Yo, I just had to order screws. So you dont do screws with Bevel? Interesting..

 

[Art Barr]

can i get that zero gap on any electric trimmer? like to $20 to $50 ones u see in cvs/walgreens ??

Get a small phillips screwdriver if you that obsessive about it.
If you learn the patterns and what technical stroke cut to use as far as top of the blade bottom blade.
You don't need none of that.
Most of this shyt I learned from trial and error.
The technical stuff I learned and just double checked with other master barbers from being and working in shops unlicensed.
