Foil shaver after clippers changed my fade work

I started doing the zero fade with a foil shaver instead of trying to get it perfect with my clippers, mostly because a client in Austin asked for it after his last barber used one. It cut my time on the neckline and sides down to about 10 minutes and leaves way less irritation on sensitive skin. Anyone else tried switching to foil for the bottom half of a fade, or do you stick with trimmers all the way?

Loving the speed boost is one thing, but foil shavers can leave those harsh lines if you push too hard on the skin. Stick with trimmers for the real blend and save the foil for a quick clean up pass, because one wrong angle can mess up the whole fade you worked hard on. Trust me, clients notice the difference when it looks patchy instead of smooth.
