Razor gang.

Every 48 hrs.

Hit it with the aqua velva for that sting and that tightness.

Moisturize with

I've never had bumps or itchiness.


I used to be lazy and shave, wait til it came back and shave again, now it's every 48. It's therapeutic.

I'm a chinabrehn, but though we don't share the same hair textures, that doesn't sound right unless either your clippers are going out or the model just isn't strong enough to take it down. Have you tried unscrewing the blades, cleaning, and putting them back together? Before doing so, go on youtube and look up on how to "zero gap" your clippers, they could be way out of alignment possibly.

i think its just a shytty brand. but i also dont need anything fancy either because im not doing any fades or line ups.

Wahl Five Star Balding Clipper

If you really want to get close you could pair this with an andis foil shaver

My shyt is I cannot master lining myself up. I wonder if it’s the machine I’m using. I can’t do it neither with my wahl detailer it andis cordless. I’m not gonna give up tho gonna cop the and is t liner this weekend but idk wtf I’m doing wrong. I be zero gapping and all that but nothing.I wonder if the mirror I’m using or the angle I’m “lining” up from is wrong. I notice my barber just light taps my hairline and shyt but when I do it it don’t work lol


Any of y’all got tips ? Not that I’m trying to avoid my barber but with my schedule I can’t make appointment since he been booked.

Might either be the angle you’re holding your detailers or you’re not going against the growth would be my best guesses. As long as your wahls are totally zero’d, i dont think buying a new andis set would make any difference. I could be wrong though. Maybe look up some head to head reviews of them before buying something you may not need. You’re never going to get a barber perfect cut since it’s going to be impossible to look at it objectively at a distance, but you should be able to easily get something more than decent as long as your equipment and techniques are up to snuff. Maybe try brushing it down as you cut? I could be wrong, so look it up first though lol

try envision cutting the hairline with a light “U” shape and boxing the corners at a slight diagonal angle

I just came back from the barber, been going to him regularly since 2004 and lately his been raising his price every time I get a cut. went from $35 to now $40 in just a month.
I can't justify the price anymore.



please recommend me good hair clippers, it's an investment so I don't mind paying for a quality ones.
