Andis Master MLX Adjustable Replacement Blade 000–1 — Carbon Steel, Precision Fade Performance

The Andis 01556 Master MLX Replacement Blade is an adjustable carbon-steel clipper blade that delivers precise fades from 000 to 1, cutting as short as 1/50" (0.5 mm) for clean tapers and detailed finishing.
