What it is
One short guard length runs edge to edge across the top with no length change, and the whole thing is grounded by a taper that drops to bare skin around the ear and down the back. The front corner is squared into a sharp line-up that sits well back on the forehead. Above the ear the taper climbs no higher than the temple, keeping mass on the crown while the perimeter disappears. Stubble on the face is left connected at a lower depth.
Who it suits
A practical choice for straight or slightly wavy hair that grows in thick and even. The squared front line adds structure to fuller faces, and the bare perimeter cuts visual weight around the jaw. Good for anyone who wants a low-fuss cut that still looks deliberately barbered, and for hair that shows thinning at the temples.
How to ask for it
Ask for a 1 guard over the whole head, then a bald taper starting just below the temple, faded to skin around the ear and along the nape. Request a hard squared line-up at the front corners and the sideburn taken down to a soft point rather than blocked.
Upkeep
Runs about ten days before the taper blurs and loses its edge. Re-line the front corner weekly if you want it sharp. Nothing needed for styling beyond a towel dry and a quick brush.
