Taper King® 2.0 Guide Combs - DIY Tapers & Fades - Opal (#2 to #7) | Built-in gradient for foolproof DIY tapers & fades at home! Upgraded design & quality. Compatible with Wahl/Conair clippers.

I bought a previous set from Taper King that was FDM 3D printed a few years ago. It held up great for the most part, however the tapers were difficult to clean and brittle. This new version is a great improvement and are vastly superior to the FDM 3D printed ones. There's no print lines so they're easier to clean and the material feels just as strong as my Wahl factory set. Outside of comparing them to the previous version. These tapers are ones that can't be found anywhere else from what I'm aware of. They save time because you can get a clean thick taper with one guard instead of having to switch out different flat guards a bunch of times. I get a much cleaner cut with these than taking a bunch of different sized guards and I am less prone to making mistakes using these tapers. They're very easy to use and are a must have both for home use and professionally. Included in my review are the new set on the left and the FDM 3D printed set on the right.

I’ve been cutting my own hair for a while and have tried a lot of different guards and tools that claim to make fades easier. Most of them feel gimmicky, but these actually make sense once you use them. The angled design helps blend the transition between lengths when you’re working up the sides and around the back of the head. It doesn’t replace basic clipper technique, but it definitely makes it easier to avoid harsh lines, especially if you’re doing your own taper. I’m using Wahl 5 Star clippers and the guards fit perfectly and feel secure, just like standard guards. They glide through my hair smoothly and don’t snag. Overall, this is a simple idea that actually helps, especially for people doing self cuts or maintaining their fade between barber visits.

So, bought these on a whim to try and see if they’d work for at home hair cuts for my kid. I was able to use them the first try to give my kid a haircut and it turned out great! They seem really solid and made of good quality plastic. Definitely interested in trying some of their other offerings!

Works as advertised and seem sturdy!

I'm not a barber at all, just a guy who trims his own hair at home. The hardest part for me has always been getting the taper to look smooth instead of having a visible line. The angled design really helps soften the line when tapering the sides. They also fit perfectly on my TPOB Play clippers with no issues. Definitely worth it if you're learning to do your own cuts. Way better value than a barber and more convenient than using multiple different guards for one trim. These are easy to use and easy to rate 5 stars!

The quality is as good as the wahls. Easy to taper around the ears requiring little effort.

I’m new to cutting my own hair and these made the taper around my ears way easier to blend. They snap right onto my Novah clippers and stay secure while cutting. Really helpful if you’re learning to do your own cuts!

Arrived quickly and were packaged neatly. They fit my Wahl clippers and work great. I have a few of their other, older sets that I’m still using and are holding up fine, but the quality on these 2.0 are a big step up! Keep it up Taper King!
