In my experience with them all, the caper blade set is less forgiving when fading. Super intentional with how it cuts. Works different depending on the hair type
Best blades for me is the is the bablyliss OEM blade, babyliss taper blade, and oster fast feed blade. Good all around wahl fade, jrl vapor and andis taper blade. (Don’t last long) Every other blade either pulls or snags the skin, or just doesn’t as I like no matter how it’s adjusted.
The black wedge blade goes through bulk just as good as any blade up there, plus it’s fades cleaner and closer, so I don’t understand why it’s not used as much. And it naturally lays flat on the scalp when blending and detailing. Most barbers think fade blades are the way to go when fading but don’t hold the blade flush to the scalp, instead they use the blade at a 45 degree angle which is wrong.
Rad content my guy, i love that babyliss blue blade. I use it on my Tpob goblins. It’s my go to for detailed fading. What are your thoughts on the wedge blade and the blade that comes on the TPOB Play? Respectfully
Switching the blades out to ceramic does not make the blade move faster. I tested this out with two corded fast feed clippers. I used the RPM app, Giri. Both machines ran at 3633.7 rpms. Unless I’m incorrect, I think the machine is capped at that rpm speed which would make the blade move at the same speed.
i have that rpm tester as well ...however it doesn't detect 100% accurate but its close ...and for me ive used it on masters and fast feeds ..i feel it move faster however i like the steel better...but most that use ceramic will probably say the same that it can move faster
Depends on the motor type and clipper. It certainly does increase speeds on many setups. I always do before and after RPM tests when modifying clippers. Will never slow it down, but high chance to improve speeds slightly by around 5-10 percent in many of my test findings. Poor RPM apps don’t do the job. You need to buy an actual rpm laser tester to see it properly
I use fast feed at work with a ceramic blade. I don’t think the blade moves quicker. It might be smoother and stay cooler longer. after using the rpm app and watching the blade move, I still believe that particular machine is tuned and set at a certain rpm speed. Nothing will make the blade move faster, and if it does, it’s negligible. I think this myth came out of it moving faster back in the day before all these cheap rpm apps were available on phones. I’m going to call this one debunked.
@@joshuasuarez2370 it may increase the speed on other machines (vector motor) but on the fast feed it does not. I haven’t tested other clippers with ceramic blades to confirm or not.
@@ConcisetheBarber I put the fusion blade on my VGR v003....it has a nice crunch on the low speed 7000 rpms .....high speed 8-9000.......blades definitely are the difference
