What exactly is the GBS range — is it a separate brand or part of a larger company?
If you've seen it on a shelf and assumed it was an unfamiliar brand, it's actually the opposite. GBS stands for GA.MA Barber Series — the dedicated barbershop line from Gama Italy Professional, a company that has been operating since 1969 in Bologna. The GBS range was developed specifically for professional barbershop use, created in direct collaboration with barbers from around the world.
Do GBS clippers work cordlessly — and how long does the battery last in real use?
If you're cutting back-to-back clients and don't want to depend on a wall outlet or lose time mid-service waiting for a recharge, battery life is a legitimate concern. The GBS Absolute Pro Cut 10 delivers 90 minutes of cordless runtime on a full charge — enough for multiple cuts in a row. It also works corded when the battery runs low, without any drop in performance.
What makes the F-Wedge blade different from a standard clipper blade?
When it comes to sharp lines and fading, blade geometry makes a significant difference — a standard blade leaves room for error that shows up immediately in the finished cut. The F-Wedge blade on the GBS Absolute Skill is engineered specifically for high-precision line work and nuancing, making it the right tool for barbers who do skin fades and sharp outlines without needing to go back over the same area twice.
Can GBS clippers handle thick or coarse hair types without bogging down?
Many clippers struggle with dense or afro-textured hair — the motor slows under resistance and the blade starts to pull rather than cut cleanly. GBS clippers run on high-speed magnetic motors — the Absolute Pro Cut 10 at 9,000 RPM and the Ultra Zero at 9,300 RPM — paired with DLC diamond-coated blades that cut smoothly through any hair type without snagging or dragging.
How many guide combs come with GBS clippers — do they cover a full range of lengths?
If you're switching lengths throughout the same cut, you need flexibility without losing momentum mid-service. The GBS Absolute Skill comes with 8 guide combs covering 1.5 to 25 mm, plus a side lever for blade-only adjustment at 0.8 mm for shaved cuts and 3.8 mm for slightly longer cuts — essentially a full working range in a single tool.

GBS | GA.MA Barber Series — Professional Clippers for Barbershop Use
GBS — GA.MA Barber Series is the dedicated barbershop line from Gama Italy Professional, a company founded in 1969 in Bologna with over five decades of experience in professional hair tools. The GBS range was built in direct collaboration with professional barbers from across the world, taking its cues from real barbershop environments rather than generic market specifications.
What distinguishes GBS tools in practice is the combination of high-speed magnetic motors running at 9,000–9,300 RPM with DLC diamond-coated blades that hold their cutting edge without pulling — even through dense or coarse hair types. Most models operate cord or cordless with up to 90 minutes of runtime, giving barbers freedom of movement without being tied to a power outlet during a service.
The range includes professional clippers with specialist blades for fading, skin cuts and precision lines (Absolute Pro Cut, Absolute Skill, Absolute Fade), alongside trimmers built for outlines, beard work and detail finishing (Absolute Ultra T-Blade, Ultra Zero) — covering every stage of a full barbershop haircut with purpose-built tools.
