2. Mastery of Tools
For the best shave, a barber relies on his equipment, known as cutlery, and each of them has its specific role.
- Clippers: While doing fades, and undercuts they require different guards to achieve an appropriate mix.
- Scissors: Customary and may be implemented by hand, precision scissor makes it easier while shaving particularly around the ears.

As any skilled barber can tell you, their tools are expected to function perfectly and he must choose one for each part of the shave!
