A ceasar cut usually take 5-10 min, the shape up is what takes longer. Thats what defines the cut is the shape-up so in order to learn how to shape up it practice, practice, practice.

You have to look at your forehead, and find out which side is your low and high side.
Everyone's forehead slants just a little so on one side your line up/edge up is picked up just a little more.
Also, I do a lot of flicking the wrist.
I don't just run the blade to make that crisp line straight across, jab at it a little.
I always start from the middle too, hope that helps.

Good thread....
Ive been cutting my own hair for almost 10 years and have gotten pretty good at doing my fade, shaping up and beard over the years.....Right now I use a Andis Fade Master and Outliner 2
I had my boy who is a barber who just opened his own shop give me a cut the other day and he definitely showed me a few pointers that I was missing to make my cuts sharper.... after seeing how he used the T Outliner to give me a crispier line I decided to order one ( although Im sure its also crispier because hes simply more skilled then me and also my Outliner 2 is old as hell now)

Does it bother you when a customer comes in with a mop of hair and wants to get faded?

What can I do to get rid of razor bumps? I use the powder magic shave but that doesn't work either.

hecks yea, ive never had a barber go with the grain and my waves boom after i get a haircut but when i was my hair they go away. . . . why is that? i dont even get low cuts anymore but i lose my wavesOriginally Posted by KMante
I've done both and as long as your waves are really good and set in, there is no real difference besides hair evenness.

Change Your Razor , Try different Creams and after shave and so on. Everyones skin type is different , So keep looking until you find some thing that works.

the only thing you can do is wait , and maybe it will fill in , I'm sure if there was something Paul Pierce would be all over it .

Do you do one side better then the other , cause your skills might be there , Use more mirrors, so you can see the other side better .

I feel for you man , Its always hard to work with hairlines like that . I think what you got going on right now works , if its broke don't fix , Also be happy you got all that hair and not worring about how to hide you thinning hairline.

This thread makes me wanna cut my own hair, save some dough
Odd question, but are there any foods that can halt or stunt hair growth at all? I HATE it when the sides of my head are even a tad long, and my hair grows faster than a damn forest.

I don't think there's anything that'll make your hair grow slower. Maybe if you have a really unhealthy lifestyle. Try getting the sides cut shorter. My hair grows really fast too. I told my barber to start using a 1 for the sides and back.
