This clipper is aimed at working barbers and stylists who fade and blend hair as a regular part of their service, rather than someone looking for an all-purpose home clippers kit. Because it's corded, it suits a fixed station — a barber chair near an outlet — rather than mobile or house-call work where an outlet may not be available. The wide taper-lever range rewards a user who already has fading technique, though the included length combs also make it usable for straightforward bulk cutting by less experienced users.

The Legend's main advantage is that its wedge blade and extended taper lever work together as a single unit, so a barber can dial a fade from close to longer blend within the same pass instead of stopping to change blades or attachments. Pairing that with a corded electromagnetic motor means the clipper doesn't lose speed or power partway through a lineup of cuts the way a battery-powered clipper can toward the end of its charge, which matters most for barbers doing fades back-to-back through a shift.

Plug the clipper into a standard outlet using the 8-foot cord — there is no battery to charge. Attach one of the 8 included guide combs (ranging from 1/8" to 1") to set an even cutting length, or remove the guide and use the taper lever on top of the clipper to adjust the blade's closeness for fading and blending. Move the lever gradually while cutting to soften the transition between lengths. After use, brush loose hair off the blade with the included cleaning brush and apply a few drops of the included clipper oil to the blade teeth; oiling regularly keeps the blade cutting smoothly and prevents it from heating up or dragging. Store the clipper with the red blade guard in place.

Pros: the corded V9000 motor delivers consistent power all day with no battery to charge or replace; the deep-tooth wedge blade combined with the extended taper lever lets one blade cover a wider blend range than a fixed-tooth blade, reducing the need to swap blades mid-fade; the 8-foot cord and light 1-pound body keep it manageable through a full shift. Cons: being corded-only, it can't be used away from a power outlet, which rules out portable or cordless workflows; the taper lever's wide range is a fading-specific feature that adds little value for someone only doing basic guard-length cuts; at just over $150, it's priced above basic home clippers and is built for professional, repeated use rather than occasional home grooming.
