That 175 degree wrap tip is a game changer, man. It really does lock in that perfect bark.

Man, i used to swear by setting posts wet and just bracing them tight. Then i saw a whole line of fence posts crack when the concrete cured too fast in summer heat. @jordan381, watching them all lean the next spring even with good braces changed my mind completely. Now i always pack dry mix around the post and let the ground moisture set it slow, no cracks and they stay put.

Totally! Had a guy in my chair with the exact same issue last month. That front cowlick just would not quit. I did the same thing, cut it shorter dry and notched right at the base with my thinning shears. It’s scary how little hair you need to take from the root to make a difference. A strong hold product after blow drying finally kept it down for him.
