Question 1

What is zero gapping a clipper?

Accepted Answer

Zero gapping is the process of adjusting your clipper blades so the moving blade sits as close as possible to the stationary blade, eliminating the gap between them. This allows for an extremely close cut, making it easier to achieve seamless fades, tapers, and edge lines without needing a second pass.

Question 2

How often should I oil my clipper blades?

Accepted Answer

You should oil your clipper blades after every few uses to prevent snagging and maintain smooth cutting. However, improper oiling can damage the motor. Bring your clippers to The Barber Company in Las Vegas and let our experienced staff oil, clean, and sanitize your blades properly to ensure the long life of your tools.

Question 3

Can you zero gap any brand of clippers?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Our technicians can zero gap most professional clipper brands including Wahl, Andis, Oster, BaByliss Pro, Gamma+, StyleCraft, and JRL. Some newer models make zero gapping easier out of the box, while others require more precision. Bring any pair of clippers to our Las Vegas shop and we will zero them in minutes.
