Thanks Ben. Means so much to me knowing it got you or anyone through lockdown. Am putting up a new video in a few hours time which I am very proud of which is a grade 3 top and skin fade. Hope you enjoy it mate
Been watching loads of Americans explaining this nothing was going in now I’ve watched a fellow Englishman this video was perfect I appreciate the level of detail in the video gonna cut my old man’s hair tommorow wish me luck feel better now I’ve seen this👍🏽
I tried a fade twice now and I can manage doing my sides okay on my own but the back of my head is so difficult. This last cut i just went with a #2 on top and #1 on my sides its close enough to a fade I feel.
Hi Oscar. That’s why we train so hard. Been in this game for 30 years so think of the amount of practise we have had as professional barbers. I think you made the right decision by going on with a 2 on top. It makes the fade easier. Hope you are well
Great haircut! what do I tell a barber if I want this haircut? "5 on top skin fade on the side"? I've tried that before and they leave too much hair on the sides at the top, this cut is perfect. help! lol
Thankyou very much. Ask for a mid to high fade. Hope you are subscribed as well. Also check out my new video. Have just bought an awesome set of clippers which I have done a video about
Thankyou for the compliment. I would say it’s slightly higher than a mid fade. I hope you like my videos enough to subscribe as I do a variety of different fades on my videos. Thankyou once again for commenting. It means a lot to me
Is it normal to go from 5 on top down to a 3? You don't need anything in between to blend like a 4? Also do you go up and out or just follow the shape of the head ?
Hello. Ya can do all of that. Nothing wrong at all to go for a 4 to blend in between a 3 and 5 if ya can clipper/scissor over comb. Back in the day we would blend up from a 1 just using clipper over comb. Up and out always works as if you go to high then it is possible to round off by accident. Hope you are well
Thanks man. Appreciate the comment. Will work very well on a more rectangle head. Just round off the corners a bit more as you wouldn’t want a Frankenstein lol
@@TheBladerunner73 yes mate , 99% of the videos for fades I watch people do it using the fader lever on the side of the clipper. You're the first video I've watched while only uses guards and it looks way better haha 👌
DKS97 that’s really kind of you to say that. The fade lever is good to use in certain fades but the lever isn’t everything. Sometimes you have to work with a feeling and put less pressure on the head. Using less pressure makes the hair slightly longer which helps with the fade
Must have watched this 5 times during lock down. Managed to keep fresh every week thanks to you

Hi man looks piety nice just wondering will it look nice if u have a bumpy head
so good men
Hello bro. I wanna get buzz cut but with 4 on top and without fade. What number should I use on the sides? Also I have oblong face
Without fade? So you want a step in the hair. If so then go for a grade 0 on the sides
Great haircut! what do I tell a barber if I want this haircut? "5 on top skin fade on the side"? I've tried that before and they leave too much hair on the sides at the top, this cut is perfect. help! lol
Thankyou very much. Ask for a mid to high fade. Hope you are subscribed as well. Also check out my new video. Have just bought an awesome set of clippers which I have done a video about
This cut is clean ! What kind of fade is this ? Medium skin fade or high skin fade ?
Thankyou for the compliment. I would say it’s slightly higher than a mid fade. I hope you like my videos enough to subscribe as I do a variety of different fades on my videos. Thankyou once again for commenting. It means a lot to me
Hi uncle. Love your videos🤣
Heidi Evans thankyou little lady. Love you loads
@@TheBladerunner73love you lots ❤😘
is the levier closed or open all the time?
Both. And more importantly I adjust in between as well. I hope all is well with you
Was it mid or high fade?
Would say it’s in between. That was nearly 5 years ago. Hard to remember lol
GREAT!!!

Hey Man, You did a pretty good job on him. But do you by any chance know if this goes well with a Rectangular or Square Head?
Thanks man. Appreciate the comment. Will work very well on a more rectangle head. Just round off the corners a bit more as you wouldn’t want a Frankenstein lol
