Started timing my fades and it cut my average service down by 8 minutes

I was always slow on skin fades, especially the blend from a 0 to a 1. About three weeks ago I started using the timer on my phone to track each section. I found I was spending almost 15 minutes just on the initial guideline and blending. By forcing myself to stick to a 7-minute limit for that part, I got way more focused and stopped overworking the same spot. My whole cut went from 45 minutes to about 37 on average. Has anyone else tried this kind of time hack, or do you think it messes with the quality too much?

Sounds like a great way to rush and mess up a haircut, @the_nathan. Some things just shouldn't be on the clock.

Ever try timing your beard trims because I did and it was a total game changer for me too.

Makes it feel less like a chore.
