What is the main focus during a razor cut?

The primary focus during a razor cut is on the texture and layering of the hair. This technique is utilized to create soft, blended edges and add movement and dimension to the hair. By using a razor, barbers can achieve various effects, such as feathering or removing bulk from the hair while maintaining a natural, flowing appearance. This contrasts with techniques that prioritize speed or length, as those may compromise the finesse and style achieved through careful layering and texturing.

Razor cuts are particularly effective for creating unique styles that emphasize the natural characteristics of the hair, allowing for more personalized and artistic finishes. Consequently, understanding the principles of texture and layering is essential for a barber to execute a razor cut successfully.
