Shoutout to Leo at the shop for showing me how to clipper-over-comb correctly

I been watching other barbers at my shop in Austin totally skip the clipper-over-comb technique on tight fades. They just rely on the adjustable blade and end up with these weird stripes. Leo finally walked me through it last Thursday with a Andis Master and a fine comb, and my blends have been way smoother since. Anybody else see new guys skipping this step?

Leo probably saved those other barbers a lot of refund requests, honestly.

Saving refunds is one way to look at it, but here's something else. Leo basically gave that whole shop free advertising just by showing up. Every guy who got a bad haircut from him is probably telling all their friends to go to the other barbers instead. That kind of word of mouth is worth way more than a few haircuts he messed up. Those other barbers might actually owe him a thank you for driving them new customers.
