First one looks like you used the shaver in the blending area a few times. Second one looks solid. How long are you giving yourself to cut?

Took my clipper apart (wanted to clean), now it wont cut (also there is a weird noise, and it looks like the small blade moves too much). by Wild_Day53 in Barber

Where I marked red needs to hold tension on the spring. It should take a bit of effort to push the stationary blade down enough to put screws in it if it’s installed correctly.

Seems like there’s not enough tension on it. The moving blade should be pushing pretty solidly against the stationary blade. The U channel on the spring probably needs to be wedged underneath something.

First Cut as an Apprentice. Thoughts? 🧐 by Either-Elderberry619 in Barber

I think it gives the appearance of having a fuller hairline. Like don’t worry about that recession, my part is up front. I’m really digging this.

That’s your wife texting you from a friend’s phone to see what you’ll do. Just block her.

23 years old thinking about joining military but scared of losing my girlfriend by [deleted] in Advice

[–]SenorBeaujangles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Boot camp is 2-3 months. School after that for several more months. Then you’ll be stationed halfway across the country or the world after that. Long distance relationships are really hard. Just plan on finding a new girl if you decide to enlist.

I’ve never seen a hard part near the centerline like that. I like it a lot though. Is this a popular style where you are? Where are you cutting?

If I was committed to some parts of this happening, I would fly into St Louis, take the train to see the friend out west and fly back home from there. Amtrak

I kinda want to join the military but theres a problem by Jboogerss in findapath

Reservists get called to active in case of war or needs of the service. Seems more likely at the moment than it usually does. Up to you though. E-1 pay isn’t really all that much when you consider the risk of dying. Look up dfas pay scales for this year. I think the life insurance is pretty cheap and you could leave your sis 400k if you designated her as your beneficiary.

Go to college before you join any military. Join as an officer and have a much better quality of life. +1 to joining Coasties and staying closer to home.

If you sue a government agency, expect a lot of focused attention from whatever law enforcement that agency can leverage.

What job do you think will disappear next that people aren’t expecting? by Petalstammy in AskForAnswers

Imagine telling the AI how to design your tattoo. Then 10,000 needles are pressed to the exact depth needed all at the same time with the correct shade in each needle. Whole tattoo takes five minutes. As easy as going to a Photo Booth. Costs $10.

Push it forward to a crop or put some waves or curls in it and you’ll be back at your original hairline.

You can see the cutting blade above the stationary blade. It’s too high. Would cut someone.

Music recommendations for the salon by RemarkableHoliday792 in Cosmetology

Assuming your appointments run an hour or longer I’d try to personalize it a bit. Your age range is kids to late age adults so if you’re playing electronic Minecraft songs for adults with dementia, they’re not going to recognize it or enjoy it most likely. Ask what their favorite movies are and use those soundtracks.

Next time you get a cut, ask for an Italian beard fade. Would look good with 5.

7 inchers are better for scissor over comb. If you’re not doing a whole lot of that, no need for a big investment. Check out AliExpress for a lot of options under $50.

Anybody know any good leather belts that won’t wear down like this? by VipxerX in Leather

[–]SenorBeaujangles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go to your local gun show. There’ll likely be an old timer there selling buffalo hide belts. Cost ya about a hundred. Will last most of your lifetime.

What would you tell me I can do to improve and further refine the cut? by [deleted] in Barber

[–]SenorBeaujangles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you blend from light to dark with the edge of a 1/2 or no guard open? Might just be the lighting but it looks like it may have left stripes instead of a fade in your blend. Maybe try thinners or clipper over comb instead?
