PSA: I used to freehand every fade with one pair of Andis clippers and a comb, now I own 6 guards and a $220 Wahl

Switched my clipper blade cleaning routine to a $6 toothbrush and my 3 week old blade cuts like new

Rant: I switched to a straight razor on myself for a week to test it, and my jawline looks like a war zone

My clippers died 20 minutes into a 6 cut Saturday and I blame the cord, not the blade

Vent: A barber in Tulsa scoffed at my clipper-over-comb, said it was lazy, then a different guy showed me why it saves my wrist

Told a regular in my chair to skip the gel and use a cheap bar of soap, and his hair did a full 180 in 2 weeks

Chose the $12 Wahl guard set over the $40 Andis kit at Sally's in Reno, and my fade looked like a staircase
