maaaaaaan i dont have ne expensive clippers my roommate let me use this lil electronic thing that u use to touch up n stuff. i have NO experience with this stuff i jus took my time. So my line came up GOOD AS HELL looks like a barber actually taped me up. HOWEVER i made ONE mistake i figured i had to use the corner of the clipper to edge up that arch for sideburns, and for like one sec i lost a bit of concentration and accidentally cut a like a .00036983469mm area of my sideburn out now its gotta grow in b4 its completely perfect lol. and i just cleaned up my back area. i didnt ACTUALLY tape it up cuz i was using the bottom of a cd for a mirror. LMFAO im serious 2 it works ok it just had a minty green tint haha. ill get a real tape when im done wolfing....

Here's what I do (I use andis outliner), first I take a screwdriver and raise the guard up giving you a finer sharper cut. I use powder and just place the clippers in the powder and lightly make an outline around your head where you would be cutting (making sure that powder on your hairline is visible). Once you do that you line it up as regulary. For your sides tilt your clippers sideways using the edge of your clippers to line that up. The back of your head is the easiest to line up all you need is a hand mirror.
