This is a great clipper. The ability to swap out the shaver head is genius. I shave my head bald and the Andis #00000 blade works great and does not cause irritation.

The Andis 21420 and the Andis 21485 are the same unit as this shaver, they're just intended to be used as a pet shaver and so they're $15 to $20 less money.

I'm not sure why you would want to completely disassemble the shaver blade, there's no reason to. Don't unscrew anything to clean the blades, read the instruction manual it shows how to remove the blade assembly. It's quite easy to clean everything.

The blades are brittle because they are tempered, which makes them stay sharp for a very long time. A softer non-tempered blade will not be brittle but will be more malleable and will dull much quicker. There is always a trade-off with knifes between how hard the blade is vs how brittle. This is true for any blade, scissor, chefs knife, hunting knife, etc.

The reason that only one of the blades is ceramic is because only one of them has to be ceramic, it serves to reduce the friction of steel on steel. The lower blade is steel because steel handles stresses a lot better than ceramic, the ceramic wold crack if you torqued those screws on there. There is some heat from friction but the coefficient of friction for ceramic on steel is less than for steel on steel.

I've been cutting my own hair for about 10 years, and I have a pretty simple style (high and tight -kind of like a Marine cut). I've had 2 other clippers prior to this, and this is the best one yet. As the prior review states, the clipper is ceramic and moves against a steel comb. The primary advantage I find is that these clippers don't get nearly as hot as my old clippers did after 20 minutes of cutting.

As far as cutting close, I use the bare blade (no add'l or different combs used) right on my scalp and I don't think I could get any closer without using a razor. My head feels like the stubble on your chin at the end of the day. The disassembly has been fine, and the unit is easy to clean. The cord is nice and long, and seems to have plenty of power and sharpness for anything I need. I love it, and would buy again!

Cost a whole 5 dollars more than the cheap crap out there. These stay cool while cutting & they cut without binding up or getting stuck in thick hair. Buy one of these & it will be the last unit you will need to buy.

Honest reviews on Andis Professional 21490 Ceramic Advanced Hairclipper

I've been using this about a year for clipping my hair to the scalp. I've only used cheap $30 clippers and this. Everything about this product feels of quality, including the plastic clip-ons (1/16" up to 1") which grip very securely and including the on/off switch which a previous reviewer said broke easily. It cuts the hair exactly as I'd hoped, without leaving rows of uncut hair, pulling, etc. The motor is powerful. I can run this down my head quickly and there is a barely noticeable change in the motor's tone. That means it takes much less time to clip my head. Deep cleaning the thing and, if needed, changing the metal guard/blade is very easy (about 1 second to access) and toolless. It runs cool. The attached metal guard seems to be the common length I'm used to and you can buy additional lengths. Also comes with a cleaning brush and oil. I feel this clippers will outlast several cheap clippers thereby saving you money in the long run and also you'd have a superior product the whole time. Overall I am ecstatic with this and HIGHLY recommend it.

Lately I've been just buzzing my hair 1/4 inch all over, then trimming up the back and edges. It's pretty simple so I was getting tired of paying $15 to have someone take 30 seconds to do it. So I did my research and settled on this thing. I have not been disappointed. I've been using it several months. It works great, does the job, no problem.

I'm just one man cutting one head every few weeks. I can't comment on whether this would be good for a professional to cut 20 heads a day. For my purposed anyway, this thing works great.
