This dude knows the meaning of tutorial. He's very detailed and explains everything he's doing to a T. Learned more from you than I did in barber school. Thank you. Keep the vids coming.

[@zairaacosta848]

Everytime you explain the cuts I feel like you try to talk to the rhythm of the background music. It makes me smile everytime

[@bertocapelle4119]

Yo kann mad respect bro i love that little advise you gave for the young barbers to stay away from negative topics when it comes to talking to clients. Its not only professional buts it keeps the admisphere clean and respectalble. Thats what seperates good barbers frm professional barbers. 👍👍👍

sxyblk28 thank you very much i really appreciate it 🙏🙏

[@R.BakerLFA]

I think against the grain gives you a more accurate cut. With the grain you have to ensure you apply the same amount of pressure throughout the entire cut. It also allows you to attack the swirls with no problem. At the end I'll lay it down

[@conceptbarbershop]

[@jayr23s93]

Aye man I know this a stupid ass question but how do you cut with or against the grain?

Jayr23s going in the direction of the growth of the hair is with the grain. I tried to explain this is the beginning. Hopefully it helps 🙏

[@ministerdrayton514]

Does it work with straight asain hair

[@afghanakhi]

Yeah it does but it depends cause asian hair sticks out but u can fix that. Honestly i think asian hair just looks dope even when it sticks out

[@Teodosio89]

For me, with the grain (especially in longer haircuts) you cut more gently and the hair is less stressed and natural

[@sixsense6161]

I'm currently coming to the end of a "college course" in the UK and they keep telling me it's wrong when i cut with the grain, i mainly do it when trimming the beard 🤦

[@Teodosio89]

@@sixsense6161 i don't have professional studies for this, but i cut my own hair since i was 17, for my experience i can tell that if you have straight hair you can have a better haircut if you have a regular cut on sides (1-2 inches) and you can comb and cut at the same time it as you like, cutting with the grain. Cutting against the grain needs more skills and technic, and for modern haircut i think its better (fadings, super short cuts). But if you want a classy look and you are able to see the cowlicks, the natural waves etc etc, the best thing you can do is going with the grain. Exemple: #5 clipper on side and #10 clipper on top, and you are a true gentleman.
