for line-ups its better to use a trimmer/edger cause some clippers,
such as the one i use, are to powerful and can cut you up. plus
trimmers are lighter and you can manuver them better which you will
have better results.
Yep. I have went through so many clippers of the years. I found that adjustables are the best to me. You can cut a better fade. But I have use the regular clipper. I had to loosen the screws to adjust the blade.
And also make sure you have a set of clippers for edge ups and lines.

The clippers have levels on it. I would put it on the level bald
it a little. go more levels and fade a little. then when
the lever is all the way down I fade it. It can work if you do it
right but that is my way.
It is always about business

yea lol im 14 and i started to cut my own hair. i wish i could
fade the back past my durag line or maybe my bro could learn how to do
it. and yea andis is the best. i do need some new blades
for my liner though cuz we had it for like 8 months and it has a broken
edge which really hurts when you do your lining. ya know gotta
look fresh cuz my schools about to start
Got them waves so serious, it make dudes delirious
^I DO THAT WHEN MY HAIR GETS A LIL LONG, BUT IT TAKES SOME PRACTICE TO
GET IT CORRECT, ITS KIND OF HARD TO PUT IN WORDS WITH OUT SHOWING
EXAMPLES, MAYBE THE NEXT TIME YOU GO TO THE BARBER YOU CAN ASK TO WATCH

Does anyone know how to fade the back of the head real good? I'm thinkin about startin to cut my own hair and i wanna keep it even all around, but have it temped out in the back. Somebody holla back please...
i purchase this one
on this website-->here and cost about $90. they're the best clippers i ever used.
ANDIS EXCEL 2-SPEED CLIPPER
* Powerful 2-Speed rotary motor clipper with detachable blade designed for heavy-duty use
* High speed is 25% faster for cutting heavy hair
* Designed to last for years and will cut wet or dry hair
* Andis Excel 2-Speed Clipper compatible with Oster Model 76, 10 and 111 Blades
* Maintenance free - no oiling or greasing of internal parts
* Break-resistant housing; contoured to fit you hand.
* Runs so cool, fans and air vents that can become clogged with hair are not needed
* 7 attachment combs included (1/16", 1/8", 1/4", 3/8", 1/2", 3/4" and 1")
* One year limited warranty
even though its kind of high in price its a great investment. try to
stay away from those $20-$30 clipper sets you might see in stores:
1. there motors are usually weak
2. because of ^ you have to keep going over spot over and over to get it even
3. the have cheap plastic guards that makes it more difficult to get everything even
4. they don't last long
also ANDIS TRIMMER'S ARE HANDS DOWN THE BEST TRIMMER and they look cool too
thanks every1 for helping a bro out. yea 360spinna is rite. its easy to cut your hair yourself but the shape up is hard as $hit. i still need to get my shape ups better though. im going 2 stick to a size 1 on my clippers and make sure i cut to da grain . i hate using plastic guards because they dont come out that even, but if your good at cutting u can do it with a plastic guard. i use a professional clipper which was like $120. im getting my andis trimmer though in a couple of days so my shape will start to be on point.
cuttin ur own hair has 2 save some serious bread- ima try and pick me up some in the future ...so 3-6 if u have a recommened set of clippers then lemme noe
