The BaBylissPRO SkeletonFX Chameleon Titanium 2.0 Deep-Tooth T-Blade (FX707C2ZE) is the original replacement blade of the ChameleonFX Boost+ outlining trimmer -- a 40 mm zero-gap T-blade with a 2.0 mm deep tooth, finished in the iridescent Chameleon titanium of the 4Artists line and made for barbers who live in the detail: edge-ups, hard lines and shape-ups in thick, coarse hair.

Why a titanium deep-tooth T-blade

A T-blade puts the cutting corners right at the tip, so you can drop a line exactly where you want it and work into tight spots the body of a clipper blade cannot reach. The 2.0 mm deep tooth feeds more hair into each pass, which is what thick, coarse growth needs to be cut cleanly rather than pushed around. Titanium is a hard, corrosion-resistant material, so the edge stays keen through repeated zero-gapping and cleaning, and on less sensitive skin it lets you set the blade close for a crisp finish.

Key features

• 40 mm zero-gap T-blade -- adjust down to zero for the closest outline
• 2.0 mm deep tooth -- feeds more thick, coarse hair into each pass
• Titanium blade -- a hard, corrosion-resistant material that holds its edge
• Iridescent Chameleon finish -- the 4Artists colourway, matched to the ChameleonFX line
• Genuine BaBylissPRO part -- the original blade of the FX7870IBPE trimmer

What to expect

This is a detailing and outlining blade, not an all-rounder. The 2.0 mm deep tooth is built for thick, coarse hair and crisp line work; on fine hair or very sensitive skin a standard-tooth blade is the gentler choice. It is a replacement blade, so it ships on its own -- no trimmer, no guides -- and it needs the same clean-and-oil care as any exposed T-blade. Set up right it gives you sharp edges and clean lines; it will not turn a trimmer into a bulk clipper.

Who it is for

• Barbers doing detail work -- edge-ups, hard lines, shape-ups and beard outlines
• Thick, coarse hair -- where the deep tooth has the most to offer
• ChameleonFX trimmer owners -- this is the original FX7870IBPE blade
• The 40 mm zero-gap range -- a shared blade across the outlining line

Who it is not for

• Fine hair or very sensitive skin -- a standard-tooth blade is gentler; the deep tooth is aggressive
• Bulk removal or fading -- that is a clipper blade's job, not a trimmer T-blade
• Clipper owners -- this fits outlining trimmers, not FX8700 or FX825 clippers

Professional tip

When you are lining out, steer the blade from its outer corner rather than dragging the whole edge along the skin; the corner gives you the cleanest point to follow a hairline or a part. Let the deep tooth do the feeding on thick, coarse growth, keep the blade flat, and reset your zero-gap each time you swap the blade back onto the trimmer so both halves sit true.

How to use

1. Power off the trimmer before you touch the blade.
2. Unscrew the two blade screws and lift the old blade away.
3. Seat the new T-blade on the two-hole mount and start both screws by hand.
4. Align the blade, then tighten the screws evenly.
5. Set the zero-gap to taste and run a test pass before cutting.
6. Clean and oil the blade after each use.

Care and maintenance

Clean the teeth after every use and add a drop of blade oil across the tips before you store it -- titanium is corrosion-resistant, but oil is what keeps the cut smooth and the blade quiet. Do not skip oiling because the blade is coated; every exposed T-blade needs it. For oil, blade guards and cleaning brushes see the BaBylissPRO accessories and replacement parts page. This blade is the original fit for the ChameleonFX FX7870IBPE trimmer and drops onto the wider 40 mm zero-gap outlining range.

• Original to the FX7870IBPE, fits the 40 mm zero-gap outlining range
