Electric Shaver or Straight Razor?

When doing skin fades, what's your go? I believe foil shaver gets closer to the skin and is quicker, but straight razor might feel more "premium". Anyone who masters both, which one is quicker to get done with? I've had people come in and ask for straight razor fade and I explain foil shaver does the same job and even better (closer to the skin and no risk of getting knicked)

Coloring services

Anyone here does root touch-up, color, etc? What's your pricing for these services and how much do you charge haurcut/beard? I've had a few people now asking if I do any of these additional services, more recently a new client said he always got his haircut and beard, alongside with root touch-up done in a same service back in Cali, that it's very popular over there. As ofnow, besides haircuts and beards, I do wax but that's about it

Plss help me fill this short one

Do you trust your barber's product recommendations and have you ever bought a grooming product because your barber suggested it?

Have you heard of Beardo, and separately, Beardo Studio Professional?

When you go for a haircut or beard trim, do you notice or care what products they’re using (like L’Oréal, Schwarzkopf, etc.)? Or is it more about the barber’s skill?
