What razor position is used in the sections 5, 10, 13, and 14?

  1. Backhand

  2. Freehand

  3. Reverse backhand

  4. Reverse freehand

The correct answer is: Reverse backhand

In sections 5, 10, 13, and 14, the razor position used is reverse backhand. This technique involves holding the razor with the handle pointing towards the shoulder while cutting in a reverse direction. It allows for precise cutting and shaping in these specific sections of the haircut. Options A and B, backhand and freehand, are not the correct razor positions specified for these sections. Backhand involves holding the razor with the handle pointing towards the neck, and freehand involves cutting without the use of a guard. Option D, reverse freehand, is also not the correct razor position specified for these sections. Reverse freehand is not a commonly used razor position in traditional barbering techniques.
