Pro tip: stop rushing your bald fades and listen to what the clippers are telling you

I noticed a lot of newer barbers at my shop in Tampa keep jumping straight into their bald fades with the foil shaver before they even check if the clipper work is smooth. You gotta run your hand over that blend first and feel for any ridges. Last Tuesday I watched a guy spend 20 minutes trying to fix a line that was actually caused by him pressing too hard with the clipper. Has anyone else caught this bad habit in their own work or seen it around your shop?

My buddy did the exact same thing last month, took forever fixing his own mess.

Hold on a second there Hugo. I've got to say that doesn't quite sound right. I think you might be confusing your friend's situation with something else because the post is about a specific issue that usually has a pretty simple fix. Most of the time when someone does what we're talking about, it only takes an hour or two to sort out, not forever. Maybe your buddy had a different problem on top of it, but the main thing here is usually pretty straightforward.
