Finally got my fading down after a year of struggling

I've been cutting hair for about 14 months now and my fades always looked muddy no matter what I did. Last week I tried something different - I switched to a lighter hand on the clipper and did more overlapping passes with less tension on the skin. Turns out I was pressing too hard and closing the blade gap too much... it was basically blending nothing. Has anyone else had a similar issue with their technique?

Dude same, I was absolutely mashing my clipper into people's heads for months before I figured out it was the pressure.

Mashing my clipper into people's heads" is absolutely sending me right now. I cannot believe that's a real technique some of us were out here using.
