Old timer told me to stop rushing the nape line, now I take 10 extra minutes

A retired barber in his 70s watched me finish a cut last Saturday and said bluntly, 'you're crossing the neck crease on purpose, and that's why you're fixing it later.' I slowed down, followed the natural curve instead of forcing a straight line, and my last 8 clients have had zero touch-up requests. Anyone else find that waiting a few extra minutes actually saves you time on the back end, or is that just me?

Wait, you were crossing the neck crease on purpose? That blows my mind, I always thought that was just sloppy habit. Ten extra minutes for zero callbacks sounds like a trade I'd take any day.
