I still got my hair clippers from Better College. Even though my clients say that it's giving them razor bumps and scars and scabs on their hairline, I still use them because I can't afford new clippers. Even though I can afford to drink and smoke better day, I just don't see the value in investing in my career. That's all. Man, I don't care what I use. I could use some Walmart clippers. I could use my granddaddy clippers. It might take me about three hours to do a good, but it's gonna come out crispy regardless. I don't care what kind of tool it is. I don't care what nobody say. The quality of the tool make a big difference. The power of the better, the sharpness of the blade, the speed of the blade. If I could cut through four c hair like butter, it makes my job a lot easier. Not to mention being fast and efficient is how I make money in this industry. I don't use basic generic tools like these broke babas. Shakisha, bring me my money makers. Much obliged, Shakisha. These were handcrafted in Geneva, Switzerland by a luxury time piece maker. They are encased in 24 karat good, and the motor was manufactured by a formula one engineer. Only millionaires and billionaires can tell the difference between quality clippers, not broke people. Charkisa, fire up the jet. Please load my tools on there rank let mister Sean Carter know that I am on the way to cut his hair. No glad he cut those good awful wicks.
