Rechargeable Trimmer
FADE CUT using a T-Blade
1.Start at the temple and cut all the way around the head to establish
ultimate location of the fade line. Always cut against the grain for the
shortest cut. Don’t force the blade through the hair. Let the trimmer do the
work.
2.Next, cut around the head again and up the nape of the neck to the fade
line, brushing away the cut hair as you go. Pull the scalp taut with the
thumb for the closest cut. Turn the trimmer upside down when necessary
to keep cutting against the grain. Make sure both sides of the head are
even.
3.For the top of the head, cut with the grain using the individual guide
comb attachments. The smaller the number of the comb, the shorter the
cut. Comb or brush the hair as you cut for an even end result.
4.To complete the fade, blend the hair at the base line by trimming up and
out across the line and against the grain all the way around the head.
Then, repeat all around, turning the trimmer upside down and cutting
downward. The final objective is to blend the hair so there is no real line,
just a perfect fade from bald to very short hair. You can achieve this by
using the #1 individual comb attachment. Continue combing and cutting
until you achieve the desired effect.
5.To create a part, pick a spot off-centre. Pull the scalp tight and with the
end of the blade perpendicular to the head, move the trimmer back and
forth to cut a line. Comb through it and cut again to make sure the cut is
precise.
