My old barber swore by clipper-over-comb for everything, and I think he was dead wrong

After three years of following his advice on all my fades, I finally tried a lighter touch with freehand shears and the blends came out way cleaner. Has anyone else dumped a mentor's go-to method and gotten better results?

Wait, is this really that deep though? Like yeah freehand shears can give you a cleaner blend on certain head shapes, but clipper-over-comb is still the foundation for most modern fades. At the end of the day, if your blends came out clean, that's what matters.

Five years using clipper-over-comb here, @willow_garcia called it right though.
