Took me 2 years to realize I was fading wrong

I was always wondering why my fades looked muddy after a few days. Turns out I was using too much overlap between my guards and not fully closing the lever before moving up. A barber from Detroit watched me do a cut at a shop I was guesting at and just said 'bro you're skipping the half guard step.' Felt like an idiot but my fades have been clean ever since. Anybody else have that one basic thing they missed for way too long?

Five years before I figured out you're supposed to oil the blade.
