* Standard blades: These are the most common type of blades and are available in various lengths, including 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5.
* Zero-gap blades: These blades have a very small gap between the blades, making them ideal for close shaves.
* Trimmer blades: These blades are designed for trimming and are available in longer lengths.
* Surgical steel blades: These blades are made from high-quality surgical steel and are designed to be durable and sharp.
Note: It's important to choose the right blades for your needs. If you are unsure which blades to choose, you can consult with a professional barber or stylist.
Here are some additional tips for choosing blades:
* Consider your experience level: If you are a beginner, you might want to start with standard blades.
* Think about your client's hair type: If your client has thick or coarse hair, you might want to use a blade with a larger gap.
