As mentioned yesterday, with a source like this, it may be preferable for future cuts that you leave a smaller area (perhaps 2-3 pixels) beneath the chin. By doing so, you will however not include any collar in the cut. Here is a quick and easy method on how to raise the collar naturally so that a source with a long neck can be tweaked so that a collar is included in the cut without having a big space beneath the chin

Also, this cut is ever so slightly slanting. Before cutting it, I would have rotated it 2 or 3 degrees anticlockwise to have it more upright.

Don't get me wrong, these 2 matters are very minor, but the devil is in the details when it comes to making excellent, instead of merely good, cuts

Thanks for letting me know @mons , is this one any better??

The technique is fine. However, am I right in saying that you've tweaked your cut rather than recut it? The new cut is a little less sharp than the original, as a result.

yeah, i tweaked it, sorry lol, im still picking up these details @mons

No worries mate, that's why I'm pointing them out, in the spirit of constructive criticism and in order to help you keep improving your technique. Fair to say you've picked it all up quite quickly

It's not as hard as you envisaged it to be, isn't it? And a bit more-ish to boot, no?

Yeah, once you get the hang of it, it is actually pretty addictive



hope this one is ok now

Lovely stuff At first glance, there isn't any difference from the one you posted earlier, but on a second look I'm sure you'll agree that there is an increase in sharpness in the cut - which makes all the difference

I appreciate your enthusiasm, but paraphrasing what @weeniehutjr told you elsewhere, keep working on the quality for now by refining your technique and you can be sure that it'll keep you in good stead towards ensure that the quantity of your output in the future will also be of a good quality. You're getting there very quickly, but there's always room for a little bit of improvement
