This is great for doing clipper over comb cuts on a beard for instance. The stylish black GTX significantly outperforms your usual T-Outliner trimmer here. This allows for cleaner cuts and smoother action when it comes to longer, thicker hair. If you take a closer look at the GTX, you’ll see its blades are thicker and the teeth somewhat deeper than the standard Andis trimmer. The GTX blades are also a reason why I decided to skip on the classic T-Outliner. Performing a zero gap on a GTX blade is generally harder than doing so with the Wahl Detailers. While the GTX blades are perfect for outlining and trimming your beard, they are even better at cleanups – for example necklines.Īt the same time, shaping mustaches and narrower areas can be a bit tough due to the wider blade design. The T-Outliner blades are made of stainless steel again, with the addition of them being carbon-coated for some extra durability. It does make faster work on the cut, though so you can shave a minute or two off of your haircut. Again, though it is not as big an issue when you’re not bulk cutting and your only goal is to edge a haircut or beard. It cuts more quickly and cleanly in general. Though, in both cases I do prefer to have a rotary motor. The type of motor in a trimmer is not nearly as important as in a clipper.
It’s a double-edged sword, though, as exactly the electromagnetic motor causes the GTX to overheat. Running on a remarkable amount of 7200 strokes per minute, it’s an example of Andis tools’ output capabilities. The Andis GTX T-Outliner trimmer on, on the other hand, features an electromagnetic motor. No one likes getting nicked with a pointy trimmer blade.And I have to say, the Wahl trimmer does require of you to be more careful around its blades in comparison with the GTX. Leave some more space, otherwise you risk having the Detailer blades get too sharp. However, you definitely don’t want to gap it as closely as you would do with the GTX T-Outliner. While the Detailer’s color scheme is somehow aristocratic, the GTX evokes a feeling of raw power with its stylish black body. Life in a barbershop can be hard on your tools, so no matter how pretty they look out of the box, don’t expect them to stay that way for long! I dropped it countless times, and aside from the teeth of the blade getting broken once, it was like nothing happened. That casing is hard as a rock but has enough give that it can take a hit.
While it won’t win any style awards, the thing I loved about it was the abuse it could take and not miss a beat. I used the T Outliner for quite a while when I was just starting out. Some professionals adore the heavier feeling of a T-outliner casual users might prefer the lighter, smaller and easier to maneuver Wahl Detailer trimmer. I’d say this Wahl Detailer vs Andis T-Outliner one is a tough comparison in the Body & Design department. The cord is one of the reasons I think the GTX version of the T-Outliner is better than the usual one. It’s the same size as the standard Outliners:Ī very remarkable feature of the GTX is its long, thick cord and 3-pronged plug, instead of the standard 2 prongs. Does that mean it isn’t a good trimmer? Of course not!Ī hard plastic (polymer) body ensures proper durability. Probably the most basic looking is the T Outliner. We’ll get into how these guys work in a bit, but this was merely to show you what you’ll be looking at day in and day out, so how they look does come into play. and a bit bigger too, at 5.5″.įorm is great and all, but without function it doesn’t mean much. The GTX T-Outliner trimmer is significantly heavier at 11.2 oz. It evokes an elegant feeling of roaring power hidden inside it.
You get high quality hard plastic covering the machine’s rather lightweight body, the top having a chrome finish.Įxactly the opposite, the GTX features a full-on gloss back finish. The Detailer trimmer is 5″ long and weights a total of 6.9 oz.

On one hand, you have Wahl’s typical 5 star series color combination – burgundy, with some chrome finish and a little bit of white. The Wahl Detailer trimmer and Andis GTX T-Outliner couldn’t be more contrasting. This comparison perfectly showcases how different clipper brands approach product design.
