#1 After shaving cream was applied, proceed to shave the hair off. Use a steady hand and even pressure, with the razor at a twenty-two degree angle. The free hand will be pulling skin taut to avoid cutting the patron. |

#2 The top of the head is cut to the length of 1/8th aka #1 guard, against the grain for even length. |

#3 The length of hair between the 1/8th guard and razor, is blended with a 1/16th guard. Continually use your adjustable lever to create the blend. |
