"Any Bevel trimmer users here??"
My Andis just died and I would like to support Bevel, but I want to make sure I will still get a crisp line. Any users here? Feedback would be greatly appreciated

but I believe the products were similarly high-priced (I'm trying to be positive and not say over-priced) well before Nas got in the picture to endorse/support Bevel. For some reason, I think Carmelo Anthony is involved with Bevel as well in terms of investing in the company, but I could be wrong.

I'd actually get one to support. But at that price, without even knowing how long it would take to ship, and the fact that on youtube reviews it looks like it isn't hanging with the Andis joint, I can't do it.
It would be great to have a cordless trimmer that could actually line up as nice as the T-Outliner.

I'm still reliant upon that devil named Gillette.
However in the spirit of Kwanzaa and today being Ujamaa, speaking of Black business and barbering... http://m1innovations.com/ https://www.instagram.com/morono1/?hl=en I'll never regularly pay for a $50 cut, but since 1/2 the time cut my own head, this guy's tools are usefully impressive...like the modified T-blade, razor-pen and blade-rest http://m1innovations.com/shop/

To the people who are getting razor bumps, are you...
- shaving AFTER a hot shower? Or at least using a hot towel on your head to open up the pores. - shaving WITH the grain. Like are you shaving the same direction you'd brush your hair? If not, you should be. - Tossing out blades after the 2nd shave.
These are basic things. If you're not doing these, especially shaving w/ the grain, you're going to get bumps.
16. "just wondering what model Andis are yall rockin with..." In response to Reply # 0
cuz I hear you on the price of the Bevel joint, but Andis got some joints that get right up around 2 bills, as well. Not trying to be #actuallyguy...legit just wondering if we're comparing apples to apples. My barber copped a some Andis Masters while we were hangin, one day and they were like $170 before his lil barber's discount.

17. "We're talking about Andis trimmers, because the Bevel is" In response to Reply # 16
a trimmer. Specifically the Andis T-Outliner. There are a lot of other Andis trimmer models but they all cost around $60 or less. The Andis Masters you're talking about aren't trimmers (used for your lineup or for some people, shaving) but full clippers for the haircut itself. They are adjustable so you can do blends for fades. $170 is really expensive even for the Masterthough, unless it's an overpriced special edition. You can get the Master for around $100.
22. "can anyone recommend an entry level andis clipper for beard trimming?" In response to Reply # 0
i'm white. i have a thick beard. i've been using the cheap norelco/panasonic "grooming kits" for years now and have never been satisfied with them. trim is uneven, charge is bad, guards are imprecise, etc. i've always heard and read good things about andis but i don't want to spend $ on the high end models or waste $ on a low end model that could end up working about as well as the cheap kits i've been buying
You would use it for lining up you beard and shaving the hair on your neck and face outside of the beard. But you wouldn't use it for cutting down the beard itself to even it out. For that you'd need a regular clipper. Don't waste time and money on a kit or clipper that claims to do both - it won't do either well.
There's a lot of different options for regular adjustable clippers. I have the Andis Master and the Oster Classic 76, but I'm also using those for haircuts. The Wahl Seniors are the other industry standards for those. But you would be fine with something like the Andis Fade:
These are clippers that you can use with guards depending on the length of your beard.
Actually while looking in Amazon I saw this double pack which would be perfect for you. For $85 it includes the Andis T Outliner and a nice adjustable clipper with it:
27. "question - electric trimmer vs. gillette fusion joints?" In response to Reply # 0
been using a gillette fusion for years now, usually just to keep things trim in between trips to the barber once a month but thinking of making the switch to an electric trimmer.
just wondering, pros/cons of switching from a manual razor to this?
