Because you can’t do anything with the hair on top to add height (eg. Trimming a buzz cut this short often exaggerates the face shape. Having hair this short also makes face and head shape a bit more important. Try a #4 or a #5 length first (with a #3 on the sides) and gradually go down shorter if you like the look. ![]() If your hair is quite long at the moment, it may not be a good idea to jump right into a #3 length. It’s pretty short for someone’s first buzz cut. Precautions with the 3 on top and 2 on the sides: In addition, fading the sides (such as a high 2 fade) almost absorbs the receding temples and makes them look less obvious.Īlthough there isn’t much contrast between a #3 length on top and a #2 on the sides, there’s enough to have a slimming and narrowing effect on the face and jawline. When the hair is super short, thin or bare patches on top become less noticeable as they don’t stand out as much. Having the hair this short is also often beneficial for balding and receding men. Washing and drying also takes no time at all. It’s impossible to style with and having choices this limited makes things easy in a lot of ways. The number 3 length is incredibly simple. It’s a length where the real benefits of a short buzz cut really come into play. The 3 on top and 2 on the sides is where the hair on top is trimmed using a number 3 clipper grade (3/8 inch) and the sides and back are trimmed using a number 2 clipper grade (1/4 inch). Having the sides and back a couple of grades shorter (like the 4 on top and 2 on the sides) is a good way of preventing it and having it grow out in a more natural manner.Īlthough it won’t be as easy as trimming everything down to a #4, for instance, trimming the sides and back down to a #2 doesn’t take much technical skill unless you’re looking to go for a fade or taper. Compare this to trimming everything down to an even number 4 with no tapering of the sides and back.Īlthough this can look fine, it sometimes grows out with a sort of “fuzz ball” appearance. Plus, it grows out in a very natural and aesthetically pleasing way. The length is short enough to immediately be identified as a “buzz cut”, but not so short that the scalp shows through much.Ĭontrasting the length between the hair on top (#4) and that on the sides and back (#2) is a good way of adding a slimming effect to the face and jawline. The style is also known as the “finger-length on top and 2 on the sides”, as finger-length is generally around ½ an inch. For men looking to try buzz cuts out but don’t want to commit to anything shorter, it’s often a good stepping stone. It’s what could be considered a medium-length buzz cut. ![]()

Since squalene is very unstable, squalane is used in skin care products because it is a saturated and stable hydrocarbon that mimics squalene. It peaks in our teens and then starts to decline in our 20’s, leaving skin rough, dry and vulnerable. However, the amount made and retained in the skin decreases over time. It is produced by the oil glands in the skin, and plays an important role in skin lubrication and protection. Your skin contains its own version of squalane known as squalene (note the e). Squalane Squalane is a key ingredient in the Cell Renewal Rosy Tone Moisturizer, a best selling product from the L’Oréal Age Perfect line. It also promotes skin regeneration, repairs cellular damage, and inhibits MMP (a group of enzymes that destroy collagen). Manuka honey provides anti-inflammatory effects and helps to reduce redness.

I could live without Viber if needed (though it at least partially worked in the past which was nice), but the fact that it completely f***s with many other major things I need to use the phone for has really made me angry. The WORST part is it completely messes with the audio on the phone in general, where it causes the apple clock app to not play alarm notifications (I can see the alarm is supposed to be going off from the lock screen or via a pop up message, it just doesn't actually play the alarm sound) and it even seems to take over audio from podcast/music apps so that I have to manually open them and toggle "play/pause" to get them to play again when viber is running. Not only does it drain my battery like crazy when open in the background, even beyond the existing issues with iPhone5 & iOS7 that everyone has whether they use Viber or not (which is funny because Viber's the only app I have that explicitly says it WON'T do that), but it doesn't play sounds for incoming calls and texts the vast majority of the time even when it's running in the background.

Going below that value will not add improvements to your copy, and will only increase the file size unnecessarily. You will have to keep in mind that DVD’s and even Blu-Ray discs are compressed in such a way that they already come with “loss” – i.e. You’d end up with a gigantic file, larger than the original file, and with zero improvements on the picture quality. For HD video (720p and up) an RF of 21 – 23 is recommended, and some even recommend “30” – but you’ll have to play a little with this to find what works best for you.Īlso keep in mind that RF=0 means NO COMPRESSION at all, which is … useless. The default value is set to “20” which can be considered adequate for a DVD copy. HandBrake has a slider at “Constant Quality” allowing you to set an RF value, between 50 (low quality) and 0 (highest quality). Quality Setting for “Constant Quality” can be overdone. Rule of thumb: When converting never use a bitrate higher than the source file. “Single pass” encoding however has become significantly better these days. The good thing of “double pass” – and that is just my opinion – is that it does a pre-flight analysis of your video source, allowing it to better anticipate changes in the video. Note that so called “single pass” encoding can result in a less good quality or less efficient compression when compared to “multi pass” or “double pass” encoding – but that doesn’t have to be the case. It will only increase the file size but most certainly not increase quality – and probably even make the quality worse. High bitrates do not guarantee quality but seriously impact file size.Īlthough in general there is a good correlation between quality and bitrate, a higher bitrate is not a guarantee for quality.įor example when transcoding a existing MP4 file with a low bitrate, to an MP4 with a high bitrate is total nonsense. For example: older devices that are h264 capable might not yet support the newer “options” of this codec, resulting in crappy or even unplayable files. These settings or options can also be the root of all problems. The compression settings can make it that an old MPEG-2 codec can actually out perform a modern codec like h264. Some codecs (en Coder/ Decoder) are more efficient than others when it comes to compressing and storage. The common containers (AVI, MP4, MKV) typically support a variety of so called codecs (en Coder/ Decoders) and the selection of the codec is what influences quality and file size.Ī great codec is not a guarantee for quality but has a great influence on file size. MKV is (in my humble opinion) better, but not as widely supported. AVI is widely supported but MP4 is definitely the strong upcoming format to use. Therefor I’d recommend using the container that is most compatible with your devices and/or software. Since the “container” file has a minimal or even negligible impact on file size or quality. The chosen file format, or “container”, has hardly any effect on file size or quality (MP4, MKV, AVI). So based on personal experience (note that I’m not an expert) a few pointers: The times that encoding a movie from DVD took 8 hours are long gone, most of my computers can convert a DVD easily under 15 minutes. ![]() The time to encode a movie should be irrelevant – sometimes the time difference is really not worth it, for a few minutes extra you will get a better quality and/or smaller file size. Personally I believe that fine tuning should be a balance between file size and quality.
