It only sometimes pops up on and is almost never in your local barber supply store. You won’t get any trimmer sturdier, quieter and cooler than this piece of art. I really want to praise the Andis M3 trimmer. With a little bit of adjustments, however, both tools will cut at a premium level. They excel in precision cuts, yet you might find their blades a bit lacking in comparison with a GTX T-Outliner, for example. They’re barber-grade groomers perfect for smooth trims and some detailed work. Their carbon-coated blades are also sharper.īoth the Styliner II trimmer and the Styliner M3 are a sensible choice. Indeed, they are a bit more versatile and you can perform more tasks with them. The T-Outliners also work better with extra combs/attachments. If you aren’t doing a lot of fades then it doesn’t really matter, but it is important to know the difference and buy according to what you need your tool to do. Especially if you are using your trimmers to erase the line from a bald fade. If your trimmers are getting hot then that blade is going to feel uncomfortable to him.
ANDIS TRIMMER T OUTLINER SKIN
Don’t forget that the blade is right against the skin of your client. This isn’t just for your comfort, either. The M3 is even quieter and will never overheat. If these two factors are important to you, the Style liner 2 should be your pick. Andis Liners stay way cooler than the T-Outliner series. Once again, I remind you of a very important operation-related difference. Now that I have tried out the M3, I am very partial to that over the Styliner 2. Not because it is a bad tool, but because Andis has upped their trimmer game and there are just better options out there. I am always trying new tools, so I may not be still using the Styliner 2 at the time you read this article, but I won’t be going back to the T-Outliner, that much I know. Once I upgraded to the Styliner 2, I never looked back. I started out with the T-Outliners when I first started out as a barber. Though you may think you are going to win style points in the shop by having some equipment that brings the bling, it’s the performance that matters. I would obviously be doing you a disservice with this Andis Styliner 2 trimmer review if I focused too heavily on its appearance as a benefit. However, there’s something that the Andis M3 does way better than all other Andis barber trimmers: The Styliner M3 blades and motor are exactly the same as is Styliner brother. With the exception of the teeth possibly breaking, your M3 should still stand up to a few bumps and bruises. Since your trimmers and other tools do get exposed to a lot of abuse, it pays to have them be a little bit heavier in exchange for durability.Įxpect to drop your trimmers multiple times. Since you only use trimmer for a few minutes at a time it won’t end up leading to hand cramping or fatigue. The weight of a pair of trimmers really doesn’t make that much of a difference. The casing is just a little bit heavier than the Styliner II, but what a difference in durability it makes! Spectacularly tough, it’s pretty close to being indestructible. There’s a reason, and that reason is its body made of magnesium. Speaking of the brand’s liners, we can do a quick Andis Styliner M3 review. M3 is a one of a kind addition to the series. Unlike the T-Outliner, Andis liners don’t have a lot to do with trimmer guards. You’ll receive only clipper oil with this model. If you plan on using it with other frequencies, think of grabbing a converter. Keep in mind the Styliner II operates on 120V/60hz. You’ll also get a standard length 8-foot cord with a convenient hanger loop. It helps a lot to be able to use my thumb for a one handed operation. I hated having to use two hands to turn it off and on. That seemed like a small thing but it is something that made me crazy. It slides instead of needing to be turned like the Outliner. The best part when comparing those two though is that the Styliner has a power switch that can be used with one hand. It has a slimmer body though the casing doesn’t feel quite as sturdy as the Outliner. In fact, I like the feel of the Styliner much better than the T Outliner. Not that the brand’s tools slip, but the textured coating is an advantage in terms of ergonomics. What I really like about the Andis Styliner is the textured material.
