![]() ![]() Really once you get something more than just plain steel the rest are pretty much just something slightly better that has been treated in some way to make them a bit harder and longer lasting. There are lots of different types such as Plain steel, Stainless steel, Chrome Vanadium steel, carbon Hardened steel to name but a few. Steel Alloysīy far these are the most common blades you will find on hair clippers. Don't be dazzled because something is expensive, it doesn't mean that its good. The price of the Babyliss Super Cutter with Japanese blades for instance is with in a couple of pounds of the Ceramic Smooth Cut, though price is not always a good measure of quality when making a purchase. There aren't that many clippers with this type of blade on the market but again you will find them at the very top of any manufacturers range and there is really very little difference in price from models with Ceramic blades. ![]() These are not far behind the Ceramic or Titanium blades and are probably the best quality steel in the world. Japanese SteelĬlosely following behind are Japanese Steel blades. I tend to find that clippers with Titanium blades are some of the most expensive as people regard Titanium as a very high value material for some reason. Really this means that they don't need any maintenance and in actual fact you wont even have to oil them. You will see quite a few models with these blades such as the Philips 5000 being marketed as "self sharpening". These blades are harder than any of the steel alloy blades and would definitely last longer and stay sharper. Titanium blades are very popular in some of the better Philips and Braun models. You might also find that if a clipper has this type of blade it will be somewhere in the name of the clipper, such as Babyliss for Men Ceramic Smooth Cut 2. ![]() Usually you will find that any clipper with this type of blade is at the top of a manufacturers range and generally they will be the most expensive. They don't heat up at all so its less likely that they will warp of wear down and they seem to last the longest and stay the sharpest of any blades. Its generally considered that Ceramic blades are the best on the market. In the early days this was a major problem but not so much nowadays with high quality steel performing just as well in this department. Japanese Steel is considered to be the best type of steel on the market for this type of application.Ĭeramic blades are the main other type available and the were originally manufactured to stay sharper for longer and their main advantage is that they don't heat up at all. Basically most blades are steel and they work very well. Although this is starting to look complicated its probably not as bad as that. ![]()
