The Razor Fade Haircut - Men's Hairstyles Today

The razor fade haircut, also known as a straight razor fade, is a type of skin or bald taper fade that requires your barber to shave your sides and back. The razor fade is unique because most barbers use clippers to cut a taper fade while this haircut requires a straight razor to taper down to the scalp. Like other types of faded haircuts, guys can choose from a high, medium, or low razor fade to determine where the taper starts.

The cool thing about razor faded haircuts is that they can be combined with any hairstyle. For example, you can ask for a razor faded pompadour, part, quiff, comb over, or slicked back – the possibilities with razor hairstyles are endless!
