Used a new hold for trimming around ears

Saw an older barber do this. Palm against the head. Fingers guide the clippers. Gives way more control. Tried it today. Works great for tricky spots.

My thumb on the clipper guard really steadies the whole motion.

Wait, you put your thumb on the metal guard while it's running? That sounds like a great way to get a nasty vibration burn or something, lol. How are you not shaking your whole hand off? I just hold the clipper body like a normal person.

Why use your thumb at all?
