The BaBylissPRO FXONE All-Metal Black Clipper & Skeleton Trimmer Duo (FX899MBE + FX799MBE) pairs the two tools a barber reaches for most -- a fade clipper for bulk and blending, and a fully exposed skeleton trimmer for lining and detail -- in one matched, all-metal set with a stealth black finish. Both run on the same snap-in FXONE Li-ion battery, so one system powers your whole cut.

Why a matched clipper-and-trimmer set

A clean cut is really two jobs. The clipper removes bulk and builds the fade; the trimmer sharpens the edges, the lineup and the detail the clipper cannot reach. Buying them as a matched FXONE set means both tools share one battery system and one look, so you swap between bulk and detail without breaking rhythm -- and without juggling two different chargers. It is the core of a professional kit, ready to grow into a full barber setup later.

Key features

• One shared battery system: the same interchangeable FXONE Li-ion snaps into either tool; the kit ships with 2 batteries and 2 dual-voltage bases.
• Fade clipper (FX899MBE): N1 digital motor at 6,800 RPM, a zero-gap blue Titanium MIM fade blade with a built-in oil reservoir, a 5-position taper lever (0.5, 1.4, 2.3, 3.2 and 4.2 mm) and 8 guide combs; up to 2h30 of cordless runtime.
• Skeleton trimmer (FX799MBE): digital motor at 7,200 RPM and 1,137,600 cutting actions per minute, a fully exposed 360-degree blue Titanium T-blade, 40 mm wide, 1.6 mm, up to 3 hours of runtime, for lining and close detail.
• All-metal build: knurled metal housings with a hidden hook and a magnetic hair-pocket door on each tool.
• Cordless and travel-ready: both run cordless on 100-240V through the included dual-voltage bases, each with a 4-stage LED charge ring.

What to expect

This set covers the cutting and lining stages of a haircut: bulk removal, tapers and fades with the clipper, then edges, necklines and detail with the exposed trimmer. It is cordless-only -- there is no corded pass-through, so you work off the snap-in battery and top up on the base. It does not shave: for a foil-close finish on the neck and cheeks, add the matching FXONE black shaver and you have the full trio.

Who it is for

• Barbers and stylists who want a matched clipper-and-trimmer pair on one battery system.
• Fade and lineup work: the clipper builds the blend, the exposed trimmer sharpens the edges.
• Advanced home users stepping up to all-metal professional tools in a coordinated black finish.

Who it is not for

• If you also want to shave: add the FXONE All-Metal Black Shaver, or step up to the FXONE Black Trio, which includes it.
• If you prefer gold: the same duo comes in the FXONE All-Metal Gold finish.
• If you need corded running: both tools are cordless-only and run on the snap-in battery.

Professional tip

Keep a charged spare battery on the base while you cut, and rotate it into whichever tool runs low -- because the FXONE battery is shared, you are never waiting on a single pack. Work the fade first with the clipper and its taper lever, then switch to the exposed trimmer for the lineup and edges while the blend is still fresh in your eye.

How to use

1. Charge both batteries fully on their bases before the first use.
2. Snap a battery into the clipper and set the bulk length with the taper lever or a guide comb.
3. Blend the fade upward in small passes, flicking out to soften the transitions.
4. Switch to the skeleton trimmer for the lineup, neckline and detail, holding it flat to the skin for a crisp edge.
5. Oil both blades lightly after use and brush out the cut hair.
6. Return each battery to its base so the kit is ready for the next cut.

Care and maintenance

Brush the cut hair from both blades after every use and add a few drops of clipper oil along the teeth to keep them running smoothly and at a lower blade temperature. Re-set the clipper blade to zero-gap with the supplied tool if it drifts, and replace the trimmer blade with the original FX707BL blade when it dulls. Charge the FXONE batteries on their dual-voltage bases and keep the quick-release contacts clean. When you are ready to complete the set, the duo pairs with the matching FXONE All-Metal Black Shaver, the ready-made FXONE Black Trio, and the BaBylissPRO Levante dryer.

In short

• Two tools, one battery: a fade clipper and an exposed skeleton trimmer on the shared FXONE system.
• Cut and line: 6,800 RPM clipper for the fade, 7,200 RPM trimmer for the edges.
• All-metal black, travel-ready: cordless on 100-240V, easy to grow into the full trio.
