Clipper Guards vs. Blades for Barbers: Best Practices & Techniques


Question
I have heard a lot of different responses... but what is your take... Is it
unprofessional for a barber to use plastic clipper guards (like on a lever clipper)?  
Do you think it is easier for a barber to blend/taper with a lever clipper?  If a
barber did not use plastic guards, what else would you use a lever clipper for?

Answer
I personally like blades I only use plastic guards on my andis masters when a person wants there beard shaved or if they don't want much off the top but want a fade. Blades cut faster and cleaner guards are good for beginners and people who have trouble with fades. I am known as the blade master lol I can fade a whole head and never touch my masters!
