TIL a 30 year vet told me to stop using clipper guards for fades, and my blends got way cleaner
He said to fade with the blade and just use the corners, and I figured he was messing with me since I'd been doing it the other way since barber school. Two weeks of practice later and my blends are smoother than anything I ever got with a #1 guard. Anybody else ditch the guards once they got the hang of it?

Did you have to adjust your wrist angle at all when you switched to the corner method? I tried it a couple times and kept digging in on the sides, probably going too fast. Also curious how you handle the bald line, since guards kind of hide that area for you. Maybe it just takes more reps before the muscle memory kicks in.
