@callumd14, sorry to keep pointing all this out you. Your cutting technique is perfectly fine, but there are just some things I'd like to point out since you're still starting out, so that you can keep them in mind when making future cuts

Care should be taken to avoid the chicken-neck effect and so all cuts should include a little bit of collar. At the same time, as I've pointed out elsewhere, the ideal cut only contains 2-3 pixels beneath the chin. Since in some sources like this one, the person in the image may have a longer neck than usual or the collar is lower, this would be quite difficult to achieve naturally. This video & this post display a simple technique of how to cut close to the chin and still display a bit of the collar.

And a source like this would benefit from the face being rotated a few degrees clockwise, so that it's upright rather than tilted to one side

I'd mentioned this to the same user for a different cut just a couple of minutes before, and didn't want to bombard him with the same info here as well
