I use this technique personally i prefer doing this technique with an actual 0 guard not a wahl .5. You can do it with both but the wahl half guard cuts much closer than a typical 0 guard does. Which means open all the way takes more effort to blend into the 1.5. I love the technique personally it saves so much time. I do prefer doing fading up from the skin to the blade open but then fading down with the 1.5 open to the 0 closed. To me its more efficient than using the 0 guard first then the 1.5 because its hard to blend it like that you almost always end up having to grab the 0 guard again which at that point you should probably just grab the 1 guard if you have to grab the 0 again. If you do prefer using the .5 guard from wahl you can blend it into the 1.5 closed by scooping out without touching the head and free hand it into the 1.5 because it cuts too close if you dont. Saves a lot of corner blending work too. You can also scoop while using the heel of the blade and that works also

I do the steps a little differently but still it’s the most efficient system for speed and consistency in my opinion. Nice cut!

I hear a lot of creators are moving away from the DSLR video format to using their phones. Phones do a pretty decent job when provided with good lighting. It gives it that sharp focus foreground while retaining that “boca” blur people like to associate with film/movie quality. Would love to see more iPhone videos if it means less work for you and more content brother. The quality comes from you teaching us the craft, the quantity is where we benefit. Nothing like them reps. God bless you and your fam hermano!

@johndolimpio7935 9 ай бұрын

Love this system in theory. The 0 guard open essentially becomes your 1 closed, and your 1.5 closed becomes your 1 open. You only really miss the few clicks inbetween with the 1 guard, but can adapt by using the corners.

I use the stylecraft 0, jrl .5 or the andis 0 works best with this technique. depending on the 1.5 guard you use you may have to flick more to blend the line in. It just depends. I use stylecraft dubs 0 guard and the 1.5 because i like how flush the 1.5 guard cuts compared to others it just speeds up the process way faster. Once you get used to how much you need to flick or freehand to get the line out its easy and probably the fastest 2 guard technique out there. Same with the andis guards the 0 and the 1.5 blend in the same way

@nurulamin2992 10 ай бұрын

You can't put a stretch lever on the JRL, the bracket will not physically move past the groove/indent on the clipper body. JRL standard taper blade does open up A LOT (the lever in the middle with their taper blade is a TINY bit shorter than a Wahl lever fully open), but their fade blade fully lever open is similar to a Wahl lever open. I've tested out the measurements myself. Wahl fully open is 1.3mm, JRL taper blade lever midway is around 1.2mm, and JRL fully open with their fade blade is around 1.2mm. These numbers don't mean much, but people often think their lever opens up a lot more than a standard clipper, when on actual fact it's their taper blade is that which gives it the bigger open length, not the lever per se. You can put that blade on a Wahl and it'll open up the same

@victorcedillo9338 10 ай бұрын

I understand the system with a wahl clipper, but if the Jrl opens to a 1(3.5mm) then why use the half guard. It would be completely unnecessary to because only the last 2 clicks would take you past blade open guard. Same thing for the 1 guard, it should take you straight to the 2 guard.

@Mike-hy8cs 10 ай бұрын

With clippers that open more you dont need a .5 guard or 1.5 guard tbh but you would have to know how to do other techniques to blend it in properly. Like freehanding, a lot of flicking, raking, feathering methods. Not saying its hard it just takes a lot of practice to do it consistently without messing up etc. I either use this method tbh or i use the 1 guard and 2 guard only in my cuts it just depends on what cut im doing. If im doing a stretch fade like shannon mentioned in the video I really enjoy using the 0guard and 1.5 guard method because of how easy it is to spread the blend out to whatever you want while still leaving it dark where you want it to be. If its a tighter blend i like using the 1guard and 2 guard only. It makes the blend easy to keep the blend as dark as i want and i control where exactly i want the light parts to be in and you can still spread the blend out where need be at the same time.

These systems aren't new. I'm a 30 year vet, the state where I attained my license, your not even allowed to use guards on the exam, nor in schools, til' this day. At age 12, I learned with a clipper with no lever, a balding clipper as it's known today, a razor, and a comb. Guards are almost cheating, though they are dummy proof, and increase a bit of efficiency, if used properly. Clean fade though.
