How it is cut
- The short top makes the dropped back curve easy to see, so the line should be even.
- The final shape should be checked from the side, front, and back before the neckline is finished.
Maintenance tips
- Keep the back curve clean between full buzz cuts.
- Book frequent touch-ups every 1 to 2 weeks if you want the edge to stay sharp.
- Start styling with aftershave balm, then add more product only where the top needs control.
