    Relatively new barber here (a couple years into the trade). I did not get very many reps with these cuts in school, so I really appreciate the tips and instructions. Could be the best flattop I've ever seen as well....great job!

    I am a barber of 40+ years. Nice job on this person . Its not to often you see a the perfect head for a flat top. And it looks like he keeps it up great. There is nothing like giving a person a flat top every six months ( or longer).
    I know you like just water, but now that Krew Comb is gone what do you use for a product if you do use it? Plus do you find with that wide toothed flat top comb that it can look a bit choppy when you cut parallel to the comb?
    Like i said, a very nice job...

    One of the Hardest Cuts to Learn. I usually cut Flat Tops Free Hand, only do Clipper Over Comb if it's absolutely necessary. Comes out Perfect Everytime!

    • @slimthebarber
      @slimthebarber  3 роки тому

      I still have to try that. My hand is not so steady. Do you run the clipper right on the high point of the crown to start? With a 0, 1, 1.5?

    • @JoshBG20
      @JoshBG20 3 роки тому

      @@slimthebarber I usually just snap on a #2 or #1.5 for the sides and back, go straight up the sides since those sizes are the most common. Stand the hair up on top and I'll just take a #000 and skim it over the top free hand til you get to the crown, snap on the #2 or #1.5 and round the crown out so that meets into the flat point I cut with the #000. Saves alot of time! When I first started cutting hair, it took me about 30-40 mins to perfect a Flat Top, now I can do them in 7-10 mins depending on hair types. I still get the Old Timers who are mostly bald but still want to get the Flat Top with whatever hair is left on top which makes it tough cause you can only take it so short for it to even look like a Flat Top

    • @slimthebarber
      @slimthebarber  2 роки тому

      If there’s a line, you can see, I can 100% say I choose shape over fade on a flat top all day every day. And having said that, heads without wrinkles or divots are usually perfectly fade just by the shaping of the flat top. If the flat top does not appear to be faded, it’s usually an issue with the skin, head or lighting.
