None of the reviews say nothing about "FADING", just cutting. I'm a novice so guys please educate a brother? What makes these good faders? There are lots of good cutters available, do these cut closer or something?

They do cut closer if they're properly zero-gapped; mine were perfect right out of the box and I'd contend that most of them will be. One advantage over clippers I've had before is that the open/closer lever on the side of the fade master is graduated, and I think this goes for most if not all Andis clippers, but Wahls and others are not. The biggest advantage for me is that you can use the purple magnetic guards on these and they'll never come off on their own and the teeth won't eat into them either; they are the best guards I've ever used.

Lou Ann I was terribly disappointed as well that my shears were terribly dull to the point that they just pull the hair less than one year....I emailed Amazon and of course w/ their great customer service they sent me a new pair eventhough there was only a 30 d return policy. Good luck, if you purchased them from Amazon I would encourage you to write them with your issue.

No, I haven't noticed any fading. If you are experiencing fading, perhaps if you back down the amount you are using it would help. We have pretty hard water, so using the recommended amount has not produced any fading.

I was doing similar cutting and found out to get the best cut I had to blow across the blade opening after 3 cuts. It seemed to get clogged with almost invisabe pieces of paper. I was using a new blade. Oncertainly I was done with all the fussy cutting blade works fine. Been told that a blade last 3 - 6 months with normal cutting. I had used a previous blade for Six months.

They are good for fades but I still use my osters for tight fade. They come with standard 1-8 size guards but not blend guard. I have so many old sets it didn't matter. Clippers a smooth and quiet. Worth the money.

We have not seen a fading problem - have used this for over three months. Make sure to wash on cold for darks.

Every machine is different, and it depends on what you're cutting. Check out silhouette for beginners on FB they're super helpful.

I have had mine installed for 3 months and no fading with use, in fact I think it looks better the longer it is on. I was hesitant about buying the product but was really amazed at how easy it is to use and how nice it looks after installation.

Yes - they next very well. Still love, love, love them. I've bought cutters in the past that were flimsy-ish and didn't last with usage. We really use our kitchen and our tools, so it pays to have tools that will last. These will.

Hi There! They do not come out easily when they are installed properly for the first time with even rows and proper amount of your hair on them (I had my roommate do them.) When I had them retaped and put them back in they fell out more easily, but this I attribute to the brand of tape I used (I got from Sally's.) They so far had lasted about three months (two installs) and I barely noticed wear at all. I only washed them about twice a week though, so I think this helped along with using conditioner each time. Mostly I used dry shampoo on my own hair and this worked wonders to help make them last. All in all I was very satisfied. I also bought the Orange solvent to help get them out myself, which really aided in the removal of the glue from my hair, so I would recommend that! I would also recommend getting this color and the next color down for a more natural look if you are a natural blonde like myself. I used the darker color on the underside of my hair and everyone said how natural it looked when I told them they were extensions!

I have never used a true helical cutter head so I cannot compare. But to the straight knife blades they are alot better. They are much quiter. The blades are 4 sided so when one side dulls it is super easy to rotate the blade. I can rotate all the blades in about 10 minutes. You will notice very small lines in the wood from the knives, but are very easily sanded out. When I plane my wood I only remove 1/32 at a time and with that I do not have problems with tearout. I have planed hundreds of boardbfeet of oak, hard maple, soft maple, cherry, rustic alder, rustic cherry, hickory, walnut, and mohagony with no problems. This is the best portable planer I have used.

Get the cutterpillar. The way it's designed it sharpens as it cuts so it never needs replacing. It's VERY pricey and something you'd need a designated cutting station for since it's also very heavy. People who own it swear by it, but I prefer something that I can stow away as I don't want to lose counter space to a trimmer.

we bought ours last summer- i haven't noticed any fade, but we did bring them in during the winter (Colorado) they are made of a some sort of softer version of canvas. overall i would recommend. as far as color they are a bit more of a burnt orange.
