Thanks Bill:
What are the differences in the use of clippers, shears, and razors (shapers) in cutting hair?
Traditionally the clippers are used for the foundation of the cut, unless the style would benefit to clippers only ie: fades, buzz, flat tops etc. once the foundation is completed then a “clipper over comb” technique is used to remove bulk and taper up, then shears to blend, then thinning/texturizing to thin if needed, further blending adding layers
How is a barbers hot foam different from a soap or cream that one uses at home?
It is a liquid natural tallow cream that is mixed with water and a small amount of cleaning liquid( for the machine). And coconut oil. It is thick like shaving cream until heated in the machine to 175 degrees becoming a slick cream
Are 3 pass shaves taught in barbering school?
Straight shaves are taught, however very basic WTG and specific steps, and mostly with shavette. Not to the extent I give my clients
Thanks
