WAHL 5 Star Legend Professional Fade Clipper for Barbers & Stylists
The Legend exists for fading, and the wedge blade is why. Its teeth are deeper and its cutting surface longer than a standard blade, which gives the clipper a longer throw and lets it take hair off in a wider, softer band instead of a hard stripe.
Behind it sits the V9000 electromagnetic motor, the most powerful in Wahl's professional range, driving the blade fast enough that thick hair gets cut rather than pushed. The taper lever is extended too, so you can move through a wider range of lengths with your thumb, mid-pass, without stopping to change a guard.
Put those three together and you get the tool most barbers reach for when a skin fade needs to disappear into the length above it. Blending is where clippers are judged, and this is a clipper designed around nothing else.
Professional kit for professional use, and the wedge blade rewards practice rather than replacing it.

Application tips
Close the taper lever to start, then open it with your thumb as you climb. Changing length mid-pass, without breaking the movement, is the whole reason to hold this clipper.
Work in wide upward arcs and let the blade take a broad band each time. Keep it moving; parking it in one spot leaves a mark. Finish the top with a guard and tidy the edges with a trimmer.
Results
A skin fade climbs into the length above it with no shelf where the two meet. The wider band means the change happens across more of the head, leaving less to chase afterwards.
Dense hair goes through in one pass instead of needing a second run over the same patch. The clipper feels planted in the hand, which is what keeps a long stroke straight.
