That clipper adjustment I made at a shop in Nashville changed my whole technique

I was visiting a buddy's barbershop in Nashville last spring and watched him fix a guy's fading blend that looked awful. He just tweaked the lever angle on his Magic Clips mid stroke and it smoothed right out. I always thought you needed a whole different blade gap or something to fix those harsh lines. Has anyone else picked up a simple trick from watching another barber work that totally shifted how you cut?

Man it's wild how one tiny lever tweak can save a whole haircut.

Once moved a guard by a millimeter and suddenly looked like I joined a boy band.

Ah come on, a millimeter is barely anything. You probably couldn't even see the difference unless you were holding up a ruler to your head. Hairdressers love to act like tiny adjustments are magic, but it's mostly just them covering their own mistakes.
