Shoutout to the barber in Charlotte who showed me a quick fix for a slipped clipper guard

I was mid-fade on a client when my 1.5 guard popped off and took a chunk... I grabbed my thinning shears to blend the line and finished with a razor for texture. Anyone have a better trick for when a guard fails mid-cut?

What kind of thinning shears do you use for that?

Oh, those aren't thinning shears. It's just how the light hits my hair in that photo.

Wahl's 1.5 guard always fails on the front corners first for me.
