Met a retired barber at the Charlotte NC trade show who showed me a trick for blending fades with a damp brush

This old timer was just sitting there at a booth nobody was at, and I walked over to kill time. He pulled out a fine mist spray bottle and a boar bristle brush, and he brushed the fade line while the hair was still wet. I thought he was nuts, but the blend came out smooth as anything. No more harsh lines even on coarse hair. Do you guys ever use water or product to help blend, or is that just for the old school guys?

Wait, a boar bristle brush on wet hair though? That's bad for the bristles.

Honestly, "bad for the bristles" is a pretty big claim. Are you saying it'll actually ruin them or just make them less effective?

Yeah that's rough, I feel for you wasting time on a brush that might not hold up.
