A distressing comb is not a recognized tool in professional barbering, unlike taper and barber combs which have specific uses.
Clipper blades should be changed when they become dull or start pulling the hair to maintain efficiency and comfort for the client.
Barbicide is a disinfectant solution used in barbershops for cleaning and sterilizing tools.
Aligning clipper blades helps prevent nicks and skin irritation, ensuring a smoother haircutting experience.
Thinning shears are designed to reduce the volume and bulk of the hair without affecting the overall length, giving a more natural look.
