Andis Fade Master Replacement Clipper Blade 01591 — Carbon Steel, Adjustable 00000–000 for ML/SM Clippers

Andis 01591 Fade Master carbon-steel blade is an adjustable, durable replacement blade that creates ultra-smooth fades from sizes 00000 to 000. The Fade Master 01591 is a purpose-built clipper blade engineered to deliver the precise tapering and close-cut control barbers and stylists need for professional fades. Made from carbon steel, this original Andis replacement blade resists wear, maintains a keen edge, and fits classic Andis ML/SM clippers. It gives a consistent cutting line and adjusts across the very short range used for skin fades and tight taper work.

How does this blade create smoother fades?

The blade’s carbon-steel construction holds a sharp edge longer than softer metals, which reduces snagging and uneven cutting during blending. Its adjustable mechanism lets you fine-tune the closeness for seamless transitions between lengths.

• Precision-ground cutting edge for even slicing through hair
• Micro-adjust lever for tight-to-near-skin control
• Tight tolerance fit to reduce vibration and chatter

Will it fit my Andis ML or SM clippers?

This 01591 blade is manufactured as an original replacement specifically for Andis ML and SM clipper models. Installation is straightforward: the blade assembly aligns with the clipper’s mounting points and secures with the original screws.

• Direct OEM compatibility with Andis ML/SM series
• Uses the same screw pattern and mounting slots as the factory blade
• No modification required for proper fit

How do you adjust and maintain the blade for lasting performance?

Adjust the blade with the on-blade lever to dial from 00000 (near-skin) to 000 (short) for precise fading. Keep the blade clean, oiled, and lightly aligned after heavy use to preserve edge life and cutting consistency.

• Use clipper oil before and after shifts to reduce friction
• Brush away hair and dust, and periodically remove for deep cleaning
• Replace or sharpen when cutting feels dull or pulls hair

What makes carbon-steel different for professional use?

Carbon-steel blades are heat-treatable and can be honed to a very fine edge, offering a balance of sharpness and durability favored in salon and barber environments. While they require routine oiling and occasional sharpening, they reward with reliable, close cutting when cared for properly.

• Higher hardness potential for longer edge retention
• Responsive feel for precise control during fades
• Cost-effective, serviceable option for busy professionals
