Word of the week, week 4, 2010

The word of the week is not a word, but a phrase...

“Pitch and Wiggle” – The description of the motion used to manipulate a clipper comb to subtly change its angle relative to the head form to create tapering. The thumb and forefinger are utilized in a position similar to one which would be used to hold up a quarter.

This the key to developing top notch clipper-over-comb skills. Practice it. take a clipper comb with you everywhere... when you have a few seconds... whip it out and practice... That is how I learned to master the touch and feel of the manipulation.



Here is my Youtube video on clipper-over-comb. See Pitch and Wiggle live in action.
