This deserves way more likes, I actually think people who disliked this were the cheap ones at 4:06 that didn't want to spend the $5 bucks on guards 😂 Best tutorial I've seen so far; white board is so helpful!!! 🔥

[@JohnOBiker]

That is why I love this channel, education value it awesome and to add the benefit of being able to cover a students tuition would be so cool. As a student I am 2/3 a barber just waiting to take my practical, I have been working part time while going to school and I have a awesome wife who works full time and puts up with me. What a blessing you are Eddie to be a blessing to others. Thank you for all you do, and folks please donate to this awesome cause. This last year ain't been easy, let's be a blessing to someone...

[@PoloBlendz]

[@peteyenvisions4592]

I’ve had some barbers tell me the way I cut is bad and to cut it their way which was frustrating at the time, I still stuck to my style but watching your videos and seeing the style of your cuts is pretty much similar to mine was a huge encouragement. I remember in your videos you said to trust in your system and it will get better and that was my ah ha moment. Thanks for the wisdom, this journey can be rough sometimes but all worth it!

[@bennyblanxs2754]

Have been cutting my hair for a long time now and have always had a problem leaving minor weight lines in the cut. These tips and tricks in this instructional has eliminated that flaw.

[@juanescobar6086]

Question: when you blend the lines using the Cris-Cross motion, do you also use the flicking motion with the edge of the clipper?

[@sylviashufford7790]

Hey Eddie…. So I got the Emma Ergo clippers and trimmers . Unfortunately my Fades look not good with those .. I’ve been watching ur videos and trying to find out what I’m doing wrong 🥺 maybe u can do a video with this clippers a medium skin fade . I would appreciate it soooo much 😊 thank u for ur amazing videos

[@jeno5176]

Thank you for sharing how do you get those Fresh clean blended haircuts? Is it the blades have to be changed?
