Finally hit a clean fade on my third try this morning

I've been practicing on mannequins for like 6 weeks and could never get the blend smooth near the parietal ridge. This morning something just clicked and it came out even with no harsh lines. Anyone else have those random breakthrough moments where it just works?

My first fade that actually looked good I was so excited I showed my wife and she just said "looks like hair" and walked away. That was about a year ago. Now I can't even remember what the breakthrough felt like cause I've done hundreds since then. Funny how that works.

Gonna have to disagree a bit here. Those "random" breakthroughs usually come from putting in the reps even when it feels like garbage, not from some magic moment. You say it just clicked this morning, but you've been grinding on mannequins for 6 weeks straight. That's muscle memory finally settling in, not luck. The fade blends smooth cause your hands know where to go now, not cause the hair gods smiled on you. Keep doing what you're doing and don't overthink it.
