Showerthought: A regular at my shop in Austin said something about clipper guards that stuck with me

He's been coming to me for a fade every two weeks for like three years. Yesterday, he mentioned he can always tell when a barber rushes the blend because the guard lines feel 'sharp' instead of soft. I realized I sometimes get sloppy with my 1.5 guard transitions when I'm behind. How do you guys make sure your blends stay perfect even on a busy Saturday?

Slow down, even when you're rushed.

Totally agree with @riverg75, forcing a few deep breaths helps me reset when things get crazy.

I remember reading somewhere that a lot professional athletes use breathing techniques before big games. It makes sense though, if it works for them under pressure it's got to help us regular folks too.
