My mentor glanced at my fades and asked one question that changed how I hold clippers
He asked if I was cutting hair or pushing the clipper through it, and that hit hard because I'd been death gripping and forcing the blend for 3 years. Started letting the blade do the work with lighter passes, and my bald fades went from patchy to clean in about 2 weeks. Any of you old heads got a grip tip that finally clicked for you?
