It's hard to explain perfection because everyone has a different definition. Some say perfection doesn't even exist, but I disagree. From the incredible build quality to the great soundtrack, the power, and the stealth look — The Darkstar 82 is hands down the best professional barber tool I have ever held in my hands. It's perfect.

Some might think it's similar to the SC Instinct after looking at the specs. In reality, this thing is far superior regarding the build quality and overall performance. Supreme Trimmer is leaps and bounds ahead of Gamma/Stylecraft, and your favorite influencers on YouTube don't get paid the same money to rep ST like they do Gamma/Stylecraft. That's the ONLY reason this product doesn't get as much love.

The best trimmer from BaByliss and the second best overall trimmer ever created. Period. I prefer it to the FXOne versions because this has better battery life and USB-C charging. The time tested champ has all the necessary upgrades to dominate. This is about as good as it gets, folks.

FYI: You get different blades with the different colors.

This is a knockoff of the discontinued Cocco Pro BLDC. The X is nothing short of an outstanding trimmer. It's something I reach for often and I love the ergonomics. It's nearly as good as the two trimmers above.

This is almost the same device as the FX+ above, but I don't like the FXOne system. This has less battery life, it costs more, and it's harder to charge. The color matters because you get different blades with the different colors.

SPECIFICATIONS:

The most underrated product from BaByliss and one of the best trimmers in the world. This thing is better than the OG LoPROFX, FXOne LoPROFX, and it absolutely smokes the FX3! This is the trimmer I usually tell my friends and family to buy.

This is a knockoff of the Cocco Pro Hyper Veloce. The XO comes with a better blade at a better price point. It's not quite on the same level as the BLCD or the X, but it's a better trimmer than anything else below. I'd skip this and get the X.

SPECIFICATIONS:

Makes its cousin (the Saber) look like an afterthought. One of the only products from Gamma/Stylecraft I would ever recommend to someone. The ERGO clipper is incredible and so is the Instinct X trimer below. I would stay away from everything else they sell. They are not known for their quality.

The original LoPROFX is one of the best trimmers of all time. Unfortunately, it has been discontinued and replaced with the new FXOne version. Although I don't like this one as much, it still deserves a place in my top 10. It's excellent across the board.

Not quite on the level of what BaByliss and TPOB are offering, but this is the next best thing. Your Gamma/Stylecraft maniacs on YouTube telling you that JRL is no bueno are no bueno themselves. You have to realize that paid sponsorships make people say and do some pretty wild things.

SPECIFICATIONS:

- MSRP: $145.00

Superior to the Saber (Which isn’t saying much), but the BaBlyliss FX+, LithiumFX, and TPOB X absolutely smoke this. The issue with Gamma/StyleCraft is the quality. They are known to make overpriced low quality products that are heavily marketed. Your favorite YouTuber's talk a good game but I don't believe in them.

SPECIFICATIONS:

Your favorite YouTubers are LYING TO YOU!! I wouldn’t spend a dollar more than $100 for this mediocre machine. The Saber is a known MRD Chinese knockoff. Stylecraft simply slapped their logo on it and sent it to hundreds of YouTubers with a small stack of cash to promote it. And it worked!

This is one of the better trimmers out right now. I think the Vader is one of the best in the world for the price, and this is a step up from the Vader. Not only is the build quality on par with some of the best in the game, the charging options are a pretty stellar idea as well.

This is a plastic knockoff of the Cocco Pro BLDC, and for the price, this is easily the best trimmer on the market. This thing is superior to the Stylecraft Flex and Rebel, which are nearly twice the price. I have recommended this to many of my friends, and if you're looking for something great for under $100, this is about as good as it gets.

Nowhere near as nice as the TPOB X or Cocco BLDC. The USB-C charging port on mine doesn’t even work. The Veloce and Hyper Veloce are not a step up from the TPOB versions, which cost less and have better quality control. I would still take this over the Hi-Viz. Cocco is slipping and I don’t recommend their products.

I sold this mediocre trimmer to my buddy for $80, because that’s what I think it’s worth. Yes, the Hi-Viz is a step up from the Detailer Li. Nevertheless, that isn’t saying much in 2026. The TPOB X costs much less and feels like it should cost $80-100 more. Definitely not a top 10 trimmer.
