The Rich Barber On The Money 10-Second Blade Setter - Zero Gap Tool for Razor, Barber Blade Alignment, Close Shave, Clean Fade, Sharp Line - Hair Stylist & Barber Tools for Home & Professional Use

Bought a new set of blades for my 12 years old T-Outliners. Already had the blade setter ordered that was going to arrive a day after the new clipper blades.Tried the new clipper blades as set by the Andis factory. Shaved my face, and the blades did not bite, but they did cause razor burn on my tender neck area making it red.Reset the blades with the blade setter, and next shave was perfect. No more razor burn on my neck. Apparently, the Andis factory had set the new blades a little bit too tight.Not happy about the cost. It's just a small piece of plastic. On the other hand, it did work good for my T-Outliners.

After 20 years of fumbling Andis blades, a sincere THANK YOU!!!There is no other way to describe this item other than it is pure perfection. Any other negative review probably purchased the wrong blade setter for their blade or was not using a brand new blade. This set 4 GTX-S and regular GTX blades out of the box, on 4 trimmers out of the box and saved me HOURS of trying to adjust the tension / blade. They hit absolutely perfect and shaved my thick, course, prickly, beard hair down to smooth skin with no irritation. I have VERY sensitive skin as well.I ordered this 2 years ago and cancelled the order due to a few silly incorrect reviews. So glad I tried it for myself.Thanks Rich Barber, you deserve all the riches!!! Seriously amazing work.

It's a good product but, at $20, it's a ripoff for a simple piece of plastic. However, I spent the money because my time is better spent doing other things than trying to zero gap my Andis GTX T Outliners, which isn't easy if you're doing it manually.

Don't mind my grays in the pic lol.. it was taken after one single pass using Andis T-Outliners adjusted with the Blade setter. I've been using Andis Outliners II or T-Outliners for 20 years now. I typically go to the barbershop once a week (pre-COVID) as I like to keep the cut very fresh. I've encountered a many barber that do a decent job of lining up - I have also encountered my share of barbers that ruined a good cut with a bad line. Either way, I have been in the business of doing it myself and I tend to do a much better job because I'm taking more time and care with my own head lol. I also use a straight edge to shave as well as touch up my line.Ok, enough with the background. For 20 years I have been without, but no more. This tiny little inexpensive piece of plastic has taken my Andis to the next level.. it's SERIOUS. I will never, ever, EVER NOT use this to set my blades ever again!Out of the box, the Andis are okay.. this takes them a few levels higher. Every single day, I'm looking like I just stepped out the chair. And there's no razor burn, it's a very clean and close cut. And since they are so precise, so far I have not had to push my line back at all.. which, if you use Andis right out the box and do not use a straight razor.. well, you'll very likely be pushing your line back just to get a nice edge up.. this level of precision has given me wings like Redbull lol..Now I've read a couple reviews where they say it cut them pretty bad.. well, although I have been lining for 20 years, this was my FIRST time ever setting the blade with any tool.. I followed the instructions and they were very simple and straightforward. In the end, the moving blade is MUCH closer to the stationary blade but it's actually not perfectly lined up evenly with it.. there is still a teeny bit of overage of the stationary blade if you look close enough so it's not "literally" zero gap. Well, THIS is exactly what you want. If the blades are exactly dead even then a) you did something wrong and b) you will very likely cut the hell out of yourself.All in all, I just had to come and write a review to give props where props are due. Thank you guys for making such a great product.

Update. The one with yellow stripe works on both the gtx and the outliner 2. I figured it was worth a try before buying a separate one. Worked great on first try.This is great. I had manually zero gapped my GTX blade and set it back a few mm. Making changes manually was tedious.This will default to a 1mm gap. You will need to look closely to make sure both blades are parallel to each other. My first two tries it was at an angle so I tried again. I got it perfect on my third try.If you want a further back setting, you can use a thin shim to set a custom depth. I did not need to do this as the 1mm “zero” was perfect for me. I can edge my beard daily and clean up my neck without any razor burn.I am surprised no one else mentioned if a shim would work. I had previously went with a 3mm setback for a 5 o’clock shadow look. That was tricky to manually set. This allows a quick setting and you only need to make sure the blades are parallel. You can add a thin shim to change the depth. I have not had to readjust since setting my blade. I’m very happy.

I purchased this a few months back and have used it on my Andis Corded T-Liner and now on my new Andis Cordless T-Liner. Will this work for the cordless Andis T-Linder? I'm assuming so since the blades look simliar but I ask because I look like I got in a fight with Wolverine and barely escaped with my life. I use the clippers for my baldies and after my last cut (do it myself and have done it myself for years) my head looked like a bruised apple. Luckily I heal fast but I'm just wondering if this product is compatible with the wireless. FYI, I didn't have issues with my corded T-Liner. Also, I use it to line up my beard and I was left with burn lines all around the shape up (too sharp). What gives?

For those looking to save time and make life easy when it comes to lining your clippers this product is a game changer!

Good to use
