I realized I was over-complicating my razor work after watching a barber in Chicago just let the tool do the work.
For years I was pushing too hard and fighting the blade, but seeing him effortlessly glide through a taper with zero pressure was a total game changer, so what's one old habit you had to unlearn?

Honestly, my biggest hurdle was rushing the finish. I'd try to force a perfect line instead of trusting my hands, which just made everything shaky. Slowing down let the muscle memory actually work.

Totally get that. For me it was the death grip on my clippers. My hand would be sore after every cut from squeezing so hard, thinking I needed more control. Letting my fingers relax felt wrong at first, like the tool would fly out of my hand. But the motor does the work, you're just guiding it. A loose hold gives you way smoother fades.
