Nice job! Do you have a link to any of the videos that you found particularly useful? My partner's situation is actually quite similar to yours (the thick hair & beard pattern are almost identical!) & I've been trying to convince him to let me have a go at cutting his hair (he keeps threatening to just buzz cut it all off lol, so I figure if I can convince him to let me try cutting it that there won't be much at stake anyway lol).

@zenobie - I watched about 6, and made notes about what was common between them all. I used a clipper set at #4 for the back and sides and cut dry. Then I wet DH’s hair and scissor cut the rest - scissor over fingers. I ‘chip cut’ to blend, but also did a little clipper (with the guard off) over comb to blend the top with the shortest of the sides and back.

The coolest part was how you establish a guide when you cut the front hair (bang or fringe) and do a ‘reverse Mohawk. It was so cool to see it work in practice.

There was one video with a really annoying teacher, but it had the most/best advice. I will link it if I can find it again.
