Question
QUESTION: I've been reading your articles on how to get a crisper edge up and you say to set the blades. I set the blades like your instructions say but i don't seem to get that crisp edge up that i have seen on some barber videos. do you think you know what im doing wrong

ANSWER: Hello Mario could be multiple thing could be your hair grade some people hair line is thicker than others making it hard to line up could be you set the blades wrong not really sure try to set them again also how long have you had those trimmers

---------- FOLLOW-UP ----------

QUESTION: well i have only had these trimmers for about 3 weeks. i have the styliner 2 and i do believe that my hair line is thick because when i edge myself the trimmers dont hurt me but on my friends sometimes it hurts especially around the neck area


Answer
Hello Mario that could be the case or you may need to adjust the screw on the side of the trimmer you want to be able to feel that motor moving it's fastest so take a flat head that is big enough and play with that screw and remember the neck is the most sensitive part. Go up when you are cleaning the neck off also don't press hard on the neck.
