Clean, great blade. Works well with my Oster Octanes.

cuts good

I use these blades at home to trim my beard and hairline. I have another Andis ceramic blade in a different size that is still cutting 3 years later just as well as it did when new. These professional quality blades are worth the investment. Keep them lubricated and they will work for many years. Buying a pro level Andis clipper and ceramic blades is a lot cheaper over the longer term than wasting money on Philips/Norelco type consumer clippers like the "OneBlade" with blades that become dull within weeks. This Andis blade is the same price as 3 replacement Philips blades, and will likely last me 5+ years instead of 3 months. The only time I use my "OneBlade" now is for travel, where i need a very light rechargeable razor/clipper.

This is a great blade, as are all the Andis blades I have bought so far. If you're like me, and buzz your hair extremely short, this blade makes a quick buzz a BREEZE... You might be saying "Sure, just like any blade does..." But my point is not just the great product, it's also going with a '1' vs a '1 1/2', '2', etc... It's a very slight difference, but if you go that SLIGHT bit shorter, you'll get more even cutting, more hairs cut on each pass, etc. The blade itself is great though... high-quality, edges aren't too sharp, it's pretty easy to clean, etc. This blade and length is also GREAT if you like to frequently 'touch-up' your buzz... The '1' will trim hairs back to even within a day or two after a cut... Doing this with a '1 1/2' or '2' is MUCH more difficult... the hair needs longer to grow back before the blade will cut 100% properly. I can use this '1' every few days if I want, and --always-- have my hair look flawless. More on the length you choose... With a '1 1/2' I may have to do a handful of passes, and then maybe even track down a few hairs in harder-to-trim areas, or growing in different directions, etc... a real pain. NOT with this blade! One pass: Perfect! At most, you might need a 2nd pass, but at that point you're 'golden'. If you cut your own hair like I do, that's priceless- knowing you got it right, easily. It was a VERY noticeable difference, for the better, stepping down to a '1'. I'd also -strongly- recommend the (non-Ceramic Edge) "OUTLINER" blade. This '1' will give you a perfect buzz, and the "OUTLINER" blade will give you an almost-razor-quality 'shave'... great for the neck, facial hair, high contrast lines, body hair if you wanted, etc... Any time you want it 100% gone. ESPECIALLY if you're already buzzing your hair this short, the rest has to be that much 'tighter' to have it look right... The "OUTLINER" is key! They make a great combo. (In all fairness, the '1' is honestly short enough to just do your entire head/neck and be done with it, too... but the "OUTLINER" is awesome for the fine details.) As I said, I own a handful of these blades, and they're a solid product. No regrets. I was looking for my 'perfect combo'... found it! Last but not least, for the guys out there, or women shopping with their man in mind... The ladies LOOOOOOOVE this length! No joke. Less than a '1' gets 'prickly' like stubble and looks bald. More than a '1' starts being too soft. When I buzz my head with this '1', it has a velvety, almost suede-like, or sharkskin texture to it... and the ladies -always- wanna touch! If it's for yourself, you'll love the reaction. If it's for your man, you'll NEVER stop playing with his hair! It's addictive. Either way... You win. =)
