Question about combing out wet product before a blowout

11

lee_reed•1d ago

Two weeks of hitting the neck strip every single cut and my client's fades stopped itching

Can we talk about the barber near me who charges $18 and skips the neck strip?

hart.sage•2d ago

TIL a 78 year old barber in Toledo told me he still sharpens his own shears on a 40 year old whetstone

TIL a client of 14 years taught me more about fading than any class did

The 30-year vet at the shop next door told me to stop clamping my clippers so hard and it's weirdly helping

PSA: the old barber on Grand who called my fade 'too fast' was right

Spent 3 weeks tracking down a clipper rattle, and it was a loose screw in the hinge

Switched my fades from a clipper-over-comb to freehand balding, and my chair time in St. Louis dropped by 15 minutes

Pro tip: I stopped pushing a full skin fade on a guy with a cowlick after he showed me a photo at the shop in Reno

Just realized I was wrong about clipper cleaning, a 40 minute job took me 2 hours

Why does nobody warn you that clipper blades can hit 140 degrees?

bennett.jana•11d ago

Tried a foil shaver on bald fades for 2 weeks and I'm not going back to the trimmer

adamr14•11d ago

TIL a 72 year old guy in my chair taught me more about fades in 20 minutes than 2 years of videos
