This is a beautiful hairstyle for summer, and with multiple shades of the same color, attention is drawn to the artistry of the haircut. The choice between these techniques depends on the desired outcome, the client’s hair type, and the stylist’s expertise. In our Hanzo blog, we have talked several times about the various hair cutting techniques such as slice cutting, point-cutting and texturizing.

We were drawn to the Wahl Elite Pro for its selection of 10 guide combs, including two half-sizes for extra-fine control of hair length. If the blade isn’t replaceable, recycle or toss the clipper, and be sure to cut the power cord to ensure that someone else who might find it doesn’t use it unknowingly. It doesn’t come with combs and is really purpose-built for precise, tight fades of the sort only a trained barber is capable of creating. You can still achieve a textured look with this razor type, however it is not recommended you use this razor sharp blade without experience. We found it was very important to have a nice set of stiff, well-labeled guide combs that attached securely.Due to the sensitive nature of the technique, it is important to have a clear understanding of the client’s desired hairstyle and texture. Barber razors are designed with sharp blades to ensure precision cutting and clean lines for a flawless finish. It creates soft, textured, and natural-looking hairstyles by using disposable or guarded blades, depending on the haircut’s nature.

Similarly, the Wahl Deluxe Chrome Pro is a 25-piece kit that, like the Andis Headliner Combo, has flimsy guide combs that didn’t seat reliably for us. Whether in the hands of seasoned professionals or skilled barbers, these shears play a pivotal role in fashioning hairstyles of unparalleled neatness and uniformity. It comes with eight guide combs (double the number that come with our corded upgrade pick, the Oster Fast Feed). But compared with other pro-level models we tested, the Oster is considerably easier to use and generally less expensive.Experts state that the best way to hold a hair cutting razor is at a slight angle to the hair shaft. Razor cutting provides the best results on wet hair and if the technique is used on dry hair, it can lead to split ends.

The hair length that a comb-less blade leaves depends on the clipper, though it’s often one-sixteenth of an inch; if the clipper has a taper lever (more on that in a minute), you can adjust that length. The upper part of the housing isn’t hollow-feeling; it is made of rigid plastic, with texture for a secure grip. It doesn’t have the most varied guard options, though: A close shave is more difficult, since the smallest guard is ⅛ inch. jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":345,"bigWidth":728,"bigHeight":546,"licensing":"
