No.1 Guide Comb with a 3mm Cutting Length

The WAHL Plastic Comb Attachment No.1 provides a stated 3mm cutting length, making it one of the most frequently used short guide sizes in professional barbering.

It allows professionals to achieve a neat, close result while retaining more hair than would be left by using a clipper blade without an attachment.

Ideal for Short Haircuts

The 3mm guide is ideal for clients who prefer a very short, tidy finish while still wanting a little coverage across the scalp.

When correctly fitted, the attachment helps maintain a controlled distance between the clipper blade and the head for a more consistent result.

Perfect for Fade Work

The No.1 attachment can play an important role during professional fades.

It can be used as one stage in a progression of cutting lengths, helping barbers transition from very close sections into longer areas while maintaining greater control over the blend.

Useful for Tapering

The 3mm cutting length also makes the guide useful for tapering around areas such as the sides, back and neckline.

Combining the No.1 attachment with additional guide sizes and suitable taper-lever adjustments can help create gradual, polished transitions.

Controlled Short Cutting

Attachment combs help make short clipper cutting more predictable by maintaining a defined spacing between the cutting blade and the scalp.

This makes the No.1 guide particularly useful when creating consistent short sections over larger areas of the head.

Useful for Blending Between Lengths

A 3mm guide can also help bridge the transition between extremely short clipper work and longer guarded sections.

Professionals can combine it with intermediate and longer guide combs to progressively refine visible weight lines and soften the overall blend.

Ideal for Regular Maintenance Cuts

For clients who return regularly for the same short haircut, using a No.1 guide can help recreate a familiar 3mm result from one appointment to the next.

This makes it a dependable everyday attachment for busy salons and barbershops.

Compatible with Wahl Pro Clip

The No.1 attachment is suitable for use with the compatible Wahl Pro Clip, providing a reliable short cutting option for professional clipper services.

Compatible with Wahl Super Taper

The guide is also designed for use with the Wahl Super Taper, making it a useful replacement or spare for professionals who rely on this popular mains-operated clipper.

Compatible with Wahl Taper 2000

Professionals using the Wahl Taper 2000 can incorporate the No.1 guide into suitable short cutting, tapering and blending techniques.

Compatible with Wahl Academy Mains

The attachment is suitable for the Wahl Academy Mains, making it practical for professional salon use as well as suitable hairdressing and barbering training environments.

Compatible with Wahl Envoy

The WAHL Plastic Comb Attachment No.1 is also listed as compatible with the Wahl Envoy, providing a practical 3mm cutting guide for this model.

Compatible with Wahl Balding Clipper

The attachment can also be used with compatible Wahl Balding Clippers when a controlled 3mm result is required rather than the extremely close finish provided by the blade on its own.

This adds greater flexibility to a clipper normally associated with close cutting.

Compatible with Wahl Magic Clip

The No.1 guard is also suitable for compatible Wahl Magic Clip models, making it particularly useful for barbers carrying out fades and graduated cuts with multiple guide lengths.

Ideal as a Replacement Attachment

Guide combs can become misplaced, damaged or worn through regular professional use.

Replacing an individual No.1 attachment allows you to restore a missing 3mm guide without purchasing an unnecessary complete set.

Useful as a Professional Spare

Because the No.1 guide is such a commonly used attachment, keeping a spare available can be particularly useful in busy working environments.

If your original guard becomes damaged or misplaced, a replacement can help minimise disruption between client appointments.

Classic Black Professional Finish

The guide features a simple black finish that coordinates naturally with Wahl professional clippers and barbering accessories.

Its No.1 designation makes it straightforward to identify when selecting the required cutting length from a larger guard collection.

Designed Specifically for Wahl Clippers

Wahl states that its attachment combs are designed specifically for Wahl clippers and are not recommended for machines from other manufacturers.

Using an incompatible attachment may result in an insecure fit or unwanted movement while cutting, so compatibility should always be confirmed before use.

How to Use the WAHL Plastic Comb Attachment No.1 3mm

1. Confirm that your Wahl clipper is compatible with the No.1 attachment comb.
2. Switch the clipper off before fitting the guide.
3. Position the attachment securely over the clipper blade according to the machine’s instructions.
4. Check that the guide is firmly fitted and cannot lift away from the blade.
5. Switch the clipper on and work through the hair using smooth, controlled strokes.
6. Where appropriate to the cutting technique, work against the natural direction of hair growth for a more consistent result.
7. When fading or tapering, combine the No.1 guide with additional guard lengths or taper-lever positions as required.
8. Brush or comb away loose cut hair regularly so the blend remains clearly visible.
9. Switch the clipper off before removing or changing the attachment.
10. Remove loose hair and clean the guide according to your professional hygiene routine.

Important: The WAHL Plastic Comb Attachment No.1 3mm is designed for compatible Wahl clippers only. Wahl does not recommend using its attachment combs with other makes of clipper.
