Line and design

Sharp lines, surgical partings and high fades are current trends that demand precision clipping and trimming. Andis UK Educator, MK, highlights his go-to tools to perfect each look.

Low-maintenance cuts that give men sharp style and high-fashion hair fast and easy are trending with new takes on classics such as fades and pompadours. Crisp, clean lines, undercuts and drop fades are among styles that increase the need for stylists and barbers to use only precision clippers and trimmers.

“Tramlines and surgical partings can be cut straight, curved or rounded,” explained MK. “For these I reach for the Andis Slimline Pro Li trimmer. I like the ergonomics and balance of this cordless lithium-ion powered trimmer and enjoy the freedom and reliability of over two hours run time from a single charge.

“Its carbon steel T-blade is designed for close cutting and can be zero-gapped so I can precision cut the hair, etch really sharp lines and create intricate pattern designs within a fade. It’s the tool I trust for intricate detail and precision.”

When it comes to beards and moustaches, MK switches to the Andis T-Outliner.

“Short and tapered beards are trending with the hair cut into defined lines at the edges, whilst sideburns are near invisible as they fade into the beard at mid-cheek,” he said. “The Andis T-Outliner is my go-to all-around outlining, dry shaving and fading trimmer that delivers the power and precision I can depend on.”

For final, skin close finishing, MK says the Profoil™ Li Shaver gets the job done quickly.

“For finishing fades and removing stubble on necklines without the straight-razor mess, I use the Profoil Li Shaver,” he added. “The dual titanium foils glide easily and deliver an ultra-smooth finish.”
