Clipper Vocab word of the week, week 5, 2010

Welcome to your Andis / Ivan Zoot / ClipperGuy clipper cutting word of the week for week 5, 2010. Last week the letter was P... this week would be Q, but I do not have a Q word, so we go to R.

Radial Cutting – A panel cutting technique in which overlapping sections radiate out from a common center point of origin like slices cut from a pie. Typically used in cutting interiors.

Your first section will become your guide. Every section after that contains 1/2 of the prior section and 1/2 uncut hair living next door... So, section 1 becomes the guide for section 2 to be cut. section 2 becomes the guide for section 3, section 3 becomes the guide for section 4. It is a classic, traveling guide. Do not carry back to the first section. As long as you follow the section and use each for the next this is an efficient way to layer interiors.

Thinking like a clock, you first section will usually be taken at the center back (6 O'clock) or at high noon (right up front). I usually work may way around one side in one direction. then I will go back to the original section and work my way out the other side. In this way section 1 is used twice. Once for section 2 on one side and once for section "2" on the other. makes sense? I thought so.
