Why I believe The Andis Styliner 2 is The Best Hair Trimmer Ever 

+Larrythebarberman You are exactly right about the Andis Styliner 2 and the Andis Styliner M3 being the best trimmer ever. The only reason most barbers stay away from the Styliner is because of the blades being a little complex to adjust. Other than that the trimmer doesn't run hot and in case you hardly have to adjust the tension on the blade. but it most powerful and sharpest trimmer on the market if the barber knows what he or she is doing.

setting the tension on the styliner is actually even easier than you demonstrated, you don't have to remove the blade at all. The bottom of the tension screw is visible from the outside of the top blade. It's very small but it's machined to receive a torx t-5 bit. you can then insert the bit into the bottom of the screw and adjust the tension with the blade still on the clipper. Note however that you will actually turn the screw clockwise to loosen and counterclockwise to tighten because it's opposite when turning the bottom of a screw.

great video . I only have the original t-outliner honestly one of my best investments ever. Mine is stock with no adjusted faceplate . I want to buy the two next newer andis outliners.

thanks larry once again very informative

the styliner 2 & m3 have more power than the t-outliner. 15 watts vs 10-12 watts, you can feel the difference

My Question if the andis is modified already, why not just cut it a little further so you can get to the tension screw? WIthout opening the whole trimmer cover?

+Larrythebarberman To be honest with you the Styliner 2 is the most powerful and best trimmer out today. The only reason why barbers tend to not like the Styliner 2 is the blade is a little complex to zero gap. But the Styliner 2 doesn't get no way as near hot as the T-OUTLINER. In order to have the T-OUTLINERS as your go to trimmers. You would at least have to have 2 pair of them in your arsenal because of the heating issues.

listen the Styliner 2 will always be the best trimmers and why? Because once you have the blade set you can adjust the speed from the outside meaning you can have a client with sensitive skin and you can instantly turn down the speed to their liking and personally it my go to trimmer for the kids because outlining on the kids is the hardest part of cutting kids so for you to be able to adjust speed to a quite buzz is a must

You are not the only barber that believe that

I find styleliners better for balding hair on sides since they dont get as hot and t- outliners for line ups since they usually get hot from consistent use

They're the best because they simply don't get hot. They're harder to adjust the blade but once you get them set, they hit harder than any trimmer out. I hate they got discontinued smh.

People don't like them because they're harder to adjust, you need to know what you're doing to get the most of them. Once adjusted correctly, they hit harder than the outliners.

I just came across this video. These are the trimmers i used to shave my face. 10x better then shaving. I mod my trimmers to get that sharpe crispy look. I dry shave afterwards. I think you need to promote these trimmers more in your videos for black men to used when it coming to shaving vs using the razor

Good job friend

the t outliners and gtx models cut better for me 9 times our of 10. I agree with everything Larry said in this video but I've always had better results with the t outliner as far as actual edging performance goes

I love my Styliner 2 the T Liner gets extremely hot quick. I hate that, it starts to burn the skin, that's why you got to have so many T liners available when you have plenty of clients.

new sub here Larry

Can anyone tell me if there’s a cordless comparison to the styliner yet? (I have the M3)

My question is, Does the styliner 2 have a tension ball like the t outliners?

The m3’s styliner two’s and t outliner two’s cut the same i gave away my t outliners two

The Styliner II is the best all around trimmer. It does what all the others do but has superior power

Hi Larry i am very fortunate I went to my Barber for advise of a trimmer for the first beard of my life. He offered to sell me a Styliner 2 fitted recently with a new blade for the price of the blade. They are unavaialble new these days all the merrits you mention make me think if am lucky to have one with pleanty of life remaining in it.

I unfortunately have the newer version of the T Outliners. The power needs adjusted. I have set the tension but they just don't seam to be hitting right. They will shave my arm hair well but for lines they don't cut for crap. They don't sound as if they have as much power as they once did. What do we do now to fix it?

The M3 is now a dinosaur item since it was discontinued by Andis - barber-and-beauty.andis.com/product/styliner®-m³-magnesium-t-blade-trimmer/?item-no=26155

Why are Andis styliner 2 so expensive and hard to find now. I normally paid $50-$60 at the hair store . Can’t find these nowhere now

Can you use gtx blade with styliners?

Do you still think these are the best?

That's all I run mate

Pull them fresh styliner twos out the box zero gap emm turn emm on turn the power screw til the top blade sit in the middle of the bottom blade take the blades back off and turn the tension screw to the right to tighten the blades and make them hug together closer when you put the blades back on turn on the trimmers if the blades are too far to the right don’t touch the power screw just yet you set that already just loosen the tension but turning the tension screw just a little does a lot my tension screw super tight the tighter you blades hug together the sharper the line will be when you hold a dull pair of scissors that wont cut you squeeze them so your thumb pushes to the right and your pointer finger pulls the bottom of the scissors to the left so they cut sharper thats what the tension screw is for the tighter the better if you tighten it too much the top blade will stay to the right and wont cut andis blades start from the left or middle if your top blade sits all the way to the left corner you have way more room to turn your trimmers power up if the top blade sits in the middle your trimmers are at peek power if the top blade sits to the right corner they wont cut they should be now set

I have them and never used them theyre way tooo loud

Es una lástima que no entienda nada porque no se ingles

Add one of these and the Styliner 2 becomes the best and easy to set up ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-BLTi8eHFZ9E.html But this is an excellent guide to do it without a fixture ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-kemg-werj4c.html

I think so also but apparently they are outdated. Babyliss just doesn't do it for me.

adjustments, yes. cutting better, no..that's y T-outliner always top..
