Famed Barber Rob The Original held court today in NYC at the Ludlow Blunt Barbershop on the Lower East Side of New York City. RTO (Rob The Original) was there to demonstrate the new Babyliss PRO FX880 Clipper, offering hair art demos to other barbers and the press. The heavy duty clipper, according to the artist, blends power and precision, utilizing a unique high frequency pivot motor generating faster blade speed, more force, more torque and ultimate control. Other features include five - position taper control and a knurled handle for superior grip and comfort. ($149.99)

MODERN stopped in and met with RTO and Dennis Joseph, Global Educator for BabylissPRO, known for his fades and clipper cuts. Check out this 2 minute video to meet the artists and get an upclose view of RTO's "Jimmy Fallon" portrait (which took less than 30 minutes to create).
