Update: Hand stretches led to a dropped shear scare

Tried new exercises to help my aching hands. Sneezed in the middle of a trim. My shears flew out and hit the floor. The client leapt from the chair. I now do my routines before opening.

That 'always' stretch rule seems over the top. Half the time I'm in a rush and just grab my shears, never had a problem. Feels like a waste of time if your hands are already loose.

Back at my first gig, I learned to ALWAYS stretch before picking up any tools. A sneeze can send things flying if you're not prepared.

I mean come on, how many people actually stretch before grabbing a screwdriver lol. Feels like making a big deal out of nothing.
