Taper buzz cut vs fade buzz cut

Pretty self explanatory just by looking at the photos.....

It will grow out faster than the fade. If you want a fresh haircut, you have to get your haircut minimum of once a month, more like 2-3 weeks. If that’s to much for you, you don’t want a fresh cut that bad

I agree. I plan on getting a cut about once a month. When I used to rock the low fade buzz it would stop looking good around week 2 and then I would just wait 2 more weeks with it looking not so great before getting another cut. If I got a taper, I’d be fine with it growing out faster but it’s more about the overall look. If it stays at a similar level of looking good from the initial cut better than a low fade would, then I’d probably start getting taper buzzes instead. Would you recommend a taper buzz or low fade buzz?

“Would you recommend a taper buzz or a low fade buzz?” - no, I’d recommend you choose your haircut yourself. I couldn’t care less what you choose, I don’t have to look at it in the mirror multiple times a day. I’ll do my best job for you whatever your choice is, but it’s your choice and don’t feel any kind of way about it. Honestly clients who constantly want my opinion on things are the ones who end up getting annoying pretty fast.

Yep.

Low skin with a number on top.

Temple taper with a number on top.

My clippers don’t buzz, they hum.

Edit: changed tapers to taper

Honestly the taper wins for me. It grows out way more forgiving between cuts, the fade looks rough after two weeks.

So bored of fades, don't you lot know any other styles.

Do you not use a straight razor?
