My cordless clipper battery died halfway through a skin fade last Thursday, right in the middle of a busy afternoon.

Did you have a backup battery ready to go?

Honestly my buddy had that happen at his shop last month. He had to finish the fade with his old corded clippers that were basically dull. The guy in the chair looked so nervous the whole time. Tbh it was a total mess and they had to comp the cut.

Sounds like your buddy dodged a bullet by having any backup at all. Could've been way worse if he had nothing.

Had a buddy who lent out his spare clippers to a neighbor once and the guy dropped them in a sink full of water. @owens.blair is right that having something is better than nothing but even backups can go sideways when you least expect it. My friend ended up using a straight razor for the rest of the cut and the client actually tipped him extra for the vintage look.
