Which one gives a closer shave: Andis Outliner II or Andis Gtx Outliner Trimmer? (also available on Amazon)

I have not used the GTX outliner Trimmer, but I do own the Outliner II, and I haven't used my traditional razor since I received this trimmer. I have very, very thick hair and beard and this thing still shaves right to the skin, no trouble.

I am not sure about "Andis". I did purchase "Anvil 175-CB". I have a sheltie and mainly use these for trimming feet hair and legs. as well as whiskers.For these "duties" this product works fine. I did order the curved with blunt and not sharp end.

The 6955XL does "NOT" have a pop-up side burn trimmer.I previously answered this question incorrectly. This razor does have a trimmer. The 6945XL does not. I have both and was looking at the wrong one when I first posted the answer. Hope this clears up any misgivings. Sorry!!!

Excellent for finishing touch up (after using Andis outliners), and great on its own if you are an avid every day head shaver.

I have used the Gillette Sensor blades since they were introduced. I recently ordered Sensor Excel blades (by mistake) and find they aren't nearly as sharp and fall short of the good shave I got with the older model Sensor blade.

Since I wrote my review of the shaver, I just discovered that the shaving head cover CAN be removed, and the cutters CAN also be removed for cleaning. This is all described in the instruction leaflet, which I had earlier misplaced. My model I think is the original 4130. The other models cost a few dollars more, and they re-charge faster. I'm pleased that it's lighter weight, and has a quieter motor than Norelco metal shavers I had owned before. The way the 4130's shaving head flexes and tilts, is a little different than the rigid shavers I was always used to before.

Actually it DOES have a trimmer in the back that pops up that works reasonably well. I use it when I need to quickly outline my beard. It doesn't trim\outline as crisp as my Andis T-edger or Wahl 3080 but it gets the job done. I purchased mine last August, so the only caveat with my information is that perhaps the newest model that the previous responder purchased could have been changed by the manufacturer. I would suggest going to Wahl's site and confirming.

As i don't have a short shadow beard, the answer is less informed. But i do keep short shadow hair, meaning bladed to "zero", and it works very well for that. Used to own a previous version of Andis and the new clipper blades are much more "gentle" on the skin than the older model. However, i would imagine that beard clippers/trimmers might be preferable, since they are designed for the purpose. Hope this helps in your research.

only if you use a 0000 blade but you should consider and edger/outliner type of clipper if you want to shave. Styliner 2 or Outliner both by Andis.

The 4FC Andis blade leaves hair 3/8". The 7FC Andis blade would leave hair 1/8" long. The 3 3/4 leaves hair 1/2". With Andis blades, the higher the number, the shorter the hair. Oster blades are just the opposite I believe. Comb attachments will give you long/longer hair.

No. I wouldn't get the outlaw at all. Much better off with the classic 76. The outlaw is not nearly as durable. If you had to I suppose you could use the 00000 zero blade to do some final edging but something like the andis T outliner is much easier to get around the ears and it's sharper. The t outliner cannot be used for anything else. It's only purpose is to outline. I also shave my face with it.

From the Andis company, I was told that the 21485 was blue and the 65785 was purple. I am going to check to make sure that they both are detachable blades. That is one of the differences I have found with other Andis razors. But, I believe that they are identical. Oh, I forgot, they both have steel blades and not the Ceramic. To order one with a ceramic #10 blade included, it is Andis 21420. The identical clipper MGB2 model number is the same for all 3 of these razors.

Im not sure about the Andis AGC. I believe those clippers only use detachable metal blades rather than plastic guards. I use these guards on my Improved Andis Masters and Oster Fast Feeds. I'd look into metal detachable blades for you AGC though. Hope this helps

I found a kit here on amazon that fit the clippers. It was a full set with all different lengths. I just had to make sure that it fit the andis. I love mine---my only complain is watch it when grooming because it heats up and will burn you pet if you dont watch it. I want to order the porcelion attachments but they are $$$$ maybe 1 at a time. those prevent the heat up. Hope that answers your questions----if not let me know.

This #12 comb fits Wahl clippers. I would try to find any Wahl comb attachment and see if it fits your Andis clippers. All of the Wahl attachments fit the same, and if one fits, than this #12 will fit. But this big #12 comb does not cut as easily as the smaller attachments. It tends to brush over finer hair without cutting. I purchased mine for cutting my own hair, and I have to tilt my head downward so that gravity will help in the cutting.

The peanut does not have a fine close cutting blade and is a toy compared to professional trimmers. The best Trimmers for lining, close cutting, and shaving have super fine thin 00000 blades are traditionally made for Barbers. For example; the Andis T edgers, and Andis T outliners, Oster T finisher, and the Wahl 8900 T Blade trimmer will also do. Based on my personal experience and my customer feedback , Andis comes is first, Oster second, and Wahl is third in this close cutting category.

I asked the same question at Sally's Beauty Supply prior to purchasing my Andis clipper & they said both clippers are the same with only difference being the width of the blade. However I would contact Andis customer service at 1-800-558-9441 & they can give you a definite answer.
