The BaBylissPRO FXONE All-Metal Gold Clipper (FX899GE) is the full-size cutting clipper of the FXONE system -- an all-metal, cordless machine built for bulk removal, taper work and clean fades. Its N1 high-torque digital motor with dual ball bearings turns at 6,800 RPM for 515,800 cutting actions a minute, driving a zero-gap adjustable gold Titanium MIM fade blade. What sets FXONE apart is the battery: a single interchangeable FXONE Li-ion cell that snaps out and runs the matching gold trimmer and shaver too, so one charged battery keeps your whole FXONE bench moving.

Why the FXONE clipper works behind the chair

A cutting clipper has one job -- take the weight off and blend it -- and this one is built around control. The N1 digital motor holds 6,800 RPM through thick, coarse hair and keeps that speed as the battery drains, so the last client of the day gets the same cut as the first. The gold Titanium MIM fade blade sits zero-gap out of the box for close, clean blends, and its built-in oil reservoir feeds the teeth so they run cool. The taper lever opens the blade from 0.5 mm up to 4.2 mm in five clicks, and the eight guide combs step you cleanly through the grades. It is all-metal and cordless, with a knurled grip and a hidden hook, so it sits balanced in the hand and ready at the station.

What to expect in the hand

Pick it up and the all-metal body gives it a planted, balanced weight -- heavy enough to carry itself through a pass, not so heavy it tires the wrist. The taper lever moves under the thumb so you can open the blade for bulk and step it down to walk a fade upward. Drop a comb on for even grades or run open-bladed for freehand blending. The FXONE battery is the workflow: keep a spare charged on the base and you swap it into the clipper, the trimmer or the shaver in seconds. It is a cutting clipper first -- heads, tapers and fades -- with the outline and detail left to the skeleton trimmer.

Who it is for

• Barbers who want one cordless clipper for bulk, tapering and fades
• Pros building an FXONE bench who want one battery across their tools
• Fade specialists who like a zero-gap adjustable blade and a 5-step taper
• Mobile barbers who need cordless freedom on worldwide voltage

Who it is not for

• Barbers who mainly do outlines and detail -- that is the skeleton trimmer's job
• Anyone who wants a corded-only option -- FXONE is cordless
• Anyone who prefers each tool on its own separate battery -- see the Boost+ line

Professional tip

Let the weight of the metal body do the work rather than pressing in, and open the taper one step as you climb so the fade melts upward without lines. Keep the blade moving in overlapping passes, and keep a second FXONE battery charged on the base so you never stop mid-cut.

How to use it

1. Snap in a charged FXONE battery and set the taper lever to your opening length
2. Take the bulk down open-bladed or with a guide comb
3. Step the taper up in small moves to walk the fade toward the skin
4. Switch to the skeleton trimmer for the outline and detail
5. Brush the blade out, add a drop of oil, and seat the tool on its base

Care and maintenance

Brush the cut hair out of the blade after every client and keep it lightly oiled -- the built-in oil reservoir feeds the blade, but a drop on the teeth keeps it running cool and smooth. The FXONE battery snaps out for charging or to drop a fresh one in. When the blade eventually wears, the matching gold Titanium MIM fade blade and spare guide combs are on the BaBylissPRO accessories and spares page. To section the hair cleanly while you work, add the BaBylissPRO Croco Clips X6.
