Especially if you’re looking to do more extensive trims, you’ll find a solid, heavy-duty ready choice here. You mean the red Speed-o guards, right? I think generally Nano (purple) are sturdier and have a better fit. I too have heard of isolated cases with faulty Nanos, but you should be able to get a return on them if it happens so, right? Most barbers we’ve seen (Ryan’s preferences also) lean towards the purple Nanos over the Speed-o.

Moreover, its simplicity in handling allows anyone, including newbies, to learn how to shave with Andis T Outliner. While the Outliner 2 is great for close-up work, the T-Outliner is better. Not only can it get up close and personal with its zero-gap blade, but it can handle the details like nothing else. From the features discussed above, it’s safe to say the trimmer is undoubtedly a first-class performer; with wide T-shaped blades and a 7200SPM motor. On the other hand, if you happen to be reading this in search of a professional trimmer to have at home, the Outliner 2 is a great choice if you do a lot of body trimming. When you need close-up control, this is one of the best options available. It has a zero-gap blade for getting the perfect cut every time.It’s for the T Liners, but the general process is the same! It’s maybe one of the most concise and easy to follow videos on the topic. Just make sure you’re not zero gapping it (the video focuses on adjusting only anyways)! Easy to grip body with grooves. You should have no problem holding on to either of these in the middle of a sessions, even with wet or oily hands. Some manufacturers focus more on aesthetics, resulting in smoother, more slippery grips. Andis maintained an aesthetically pleasing body style while ensuring great functionality too. The reason for that is because they are simply one of the best when it comes to top performing hair cutting tools. Appreciate all the information you provide. I have been cutting my own hair at home for the last 10 years or so. I have been using an old Remington clipper. It’s time for a replacement as I am looking for something that will cut my hair as close as possible. Not looking for the complete bald look of a razor, but something that can go very short. Any recommendations? Much appreciated!! Reply

Creative empires are built on foundations of basic technique. Conquer the fundamentals with the upgraded Cordless T-Outliner® Trimmer, everything you love about the classic If you are using it as intended, meaning to outline the edges of the hairline or beard, then you’re only using it for a few minutes at a time. Then it rests while you finish the cut and move onto the next one. I find when I am working that I only use the trimmers about every 15 minutes or so. This gives them plenty of time to cool down and I have never needed to use a spray on the blade.

Beneath the hard plastic case lies an oscillating electromagnetic motor, cutting at 7200 strokes per minute. A pretty good performance, this guarantees you fast trimming and more than enough power. As you can see, we have a grey, hard plastic casing with an attractive switch on the lower part of the body. While there definitely are sturdier models than the T Outliner, it scores above average in this regard. At 5.5″ and 0.70 lbs, it’s a standard-sized trimmer. The model is ergonomic enough to guarantee you a stable, comfortable grip when you start working with the sharp Andis T blade. The T Outliner is for corded use only, coming with a 8-feet long cord. That’s just enough coverage to allow you mobility, no matter if you’re a casual user or a barber. It really is. The blade you’ll find with this neat Andis machine is the reason why I consider this the best T blade trimmer overall. Neither the standard Outliner or the T Edjer can match it, really. If you’ve read through the first part of this article, you know I’m leaning towards the T-Outliner. It does everything one would need, while also providing a little more control over detail work.
