The buzz cut style is a classic military style popularized by college kids, '90s hip hoppers and '80s punk rockers. No matter your personal style, your buzz will benefit from two things: a decent pair of clippers and some after-styling cream. We recommend Axe Natural Look: Understated Cream. 

Buzz cuts suit pretty much any face type, but work best if you’ve got a strong jawline. A good beard or some rough stubble helps, too. Like James in the video, you’re gonna need an extra set of hands for your first buzz. Find a good barber or friend you can trust with sharp objects.
