Vent: Tried the clipper-over-comb method on a tough head and wished I stuck with guards

I had a client last Thursday with a really bumpy crown and cowlicks going every direction. Usually I use guards to blend the top but decided to try clipper-over-comb like I saw in a tutorial. Ended up spending 20 extra minutes fixing uneven patches and had to grab the #2 guard anyway. Has anyone else had that method backfire on you?

Wait, 20 extra minutes? Oh man, I would've lost my cool halfway through that. Your mileage may vary but clipper-over-comb always looks easier on video than it actually is.

Honestly, I feel you on that. 20 extra minutes is a lot when you're already deep in a cut, especially if the person's hair is being stubborn. Mad respect for pushing through it, that takes some serious patience.
