Babyliss fine tooth blade (FX707B) is the same as their standard tooth?! + Comparison to Wahl Hi Viz 

No problem! Well I haven’t used those blades personally but the difference is evident in just the names themselves. So the graphite ones are one of the more cheaper blade materials that they sell. And the DLC which stands for something like “diamond-like coating” is a more premium version of the blade. They are supposed to also last longer and stay sharper for longer. They are usually coated in a gold titanium (but I think they can be black too) and I can tell you they feel a lot smoother and glide across the skin much nicer. The usual black or graphite blades tend to feel more like they drag across the skin and just feel somewhat like they are sticking to my skin. Let me know if you have any more questions.

Glad this video helped. That’s why I made it. Well, the fine tooth blade is made of graphite which is more on the cheaper side of babyliss’s blade offerings. The gold one is coated in gold titanium and DLC so they are supposed to stay cooler. Other than that they are the same and that annoys me. The fine tooth blade should be smaller but it’s the same as the standard tooth. In all my testing so far of many trimmers (about 7 different models and brands), 6 of them all have the same blade design. The only different one is the wahl hi viz. I’m a huge fan of its blade. It is super thin and narrow/precise. It is the closest thing to a wet shave in electronic trimmer form. I just tested the stylecraft saber today, and I have the TPOB X and TPOB ghost x coming tomorrow. The more trimmers I try the more I realize how special the wahl hi viz is.

@@iconikreviews5377 there’s some really good trimmers in the ones you have mentioned , one that came up as being very smooth is the cyborg , I left comments on here with various barbers that have used both the hi viz and the cyborg and all so far have said the cyborg interestingly. At £230 and £200 each I can’t justify both & I’m not sure you can return once these items have been tested by simply picking one or the other. I also have the wahl detailer cordless (maroon colour) and the blades on that are super smooth (compared to my baByliss skeleton) so maybe this is trademark of wahl, the hi viz is quite out there and very different for wahl from what I’m reading in it as most people say there are old school company , with other companies like saber there units being more advanced… obviously after reading your findings I’m still none the closer to deciding which to go for😂😂 also you have no alliances to any companies just a regular guy picking the best unit.

lol been there. So before I attempt to answer this let me qualify myself by saying that I have the babyliss fx3 trimmer, the wahl hi viz, and TPOB X trimmer. The wahl hi viz and TPOB X cut like a laser. And I’m 95% sure that TPOB blades are compatible with babyliss trimmers. If that’s true, then try the TPOB blade on your babyliss (either the Gold “psycho” blade or their regular graphene “psycho” blade). I’ve found that the gold blades (which are coated in titanium or DLC or something like that) glide across the skin much smoother than a black graphite blade. That’s why my babyliss fx3 trimmer with its gold blade has been the best bald head shaving experience for me ever bc of how comfortable and smoothly it glides across my head. But it will not cut as closely as the TPOB or wahl. I tried to zero gap it very close but it ends up scratching. So I’d go with a gold blade replacement if I was you. I know babyliss makes some but I haven’t tried them so I can’t speak to them. I can speak to the TPOB psycho blade though and feel like that one might give you the results you want to see. If not then you can always return it if you’re buying from Amazon.

Also ty for the response man ! Appreciate the love

^ great point

So which one would you recommend for shape ups line up ? Basically sum hitters not so much bulk removal

@@victorortega2718 Standard gold blades is my favorite. Just make sure you buy it from a real dealer. I've bought two from amazon and they've been dull asf..
