A straight line held away from the head does not translate automatically into a straight-looking outer silhouette. The head curves beneath the hair, and sections fall back into different positions after they are released. Technique must account for that relationship.
What to discuss with your barber
When comparing Japanese and Western barbering, this explains why a cutting movement may look different from the final shape. Ask your barber how the proposed method preserves the corner or curve you want. A clear answer connects the working position to the resting outline. You do not need to know every angle involved; understanding the visible objective gives you a practical way to discuss precision without assuming a flat reference fits every section.
