A blade cap is provided to shield a user from heat generated by operation of a blade assembly. The blade cap provides an insulative barrier between the blade assembly and the skin of the user. The blade cap may prevent discomfort or burns from the heat generated by the blade assembly. The blade cap includes openings, channels, projections, tabs, and other formations to allow the flow of air through the passageways between the blade cap and the blade.

A hair clipper or cutter is provided with an adjustment slider that adjusts the gap between an inner and outer blade. A yoke is attached to the inner blade. The adjustment slider may be configured with preset gap lengths and may be adjustable before, after, or during a hair cutting operation.
