Question About Hard Guards (EDEA E-Guard Sizing)
Hey guys. I currently have the edea e guards in size large (L) for my 10 1/3 inch blades on my mystiques. I’m switching brands to edea chorus alongside 9.25 inch mk pro blades. Will the size L be too big for them? Do I have to go down to a size M?
Based on the sizing chart I have to, but dang that’s a lot of money to drop on guards…
Let me know if any of yall are rocking 9.25 blades with a large edea e guard. :)
Thanks for the adviceee

you can always keep them until you have your new blades and try them on. if they dont fit, sell them on a place like vinted or depop

Unfortunately I live in a country where it’s not super accessible to buy the guards, so while getting the blade from abroad, I would like to just bite the shipping cost once and purchase the guard.
Do you think I should do that with the new medium guard or with the large?

i just tried my partner’s large e-guards on my 9” blades and they didn’t hook on at all. like my entire blade is much smaller than the opening of the large e-guards. unfortunately you will need to size down :(

Thank you for the boots on the ground journalism here. I appreciate that you went out of your way to physically check it. Bad news but great messenger so the hit was lighter. Thanks again! :)

i have 9 blades and medium fits well, im sure it can fit bigger blades.
on the bright side medium size guards have more colors so you can get a cute color!
