I have a quick question for those of you have used the 2.0 and 2.5 mm guides. Have you been transitioning from a typical 6,5,4,3 then all 2.5's or 2.0's or do you simply prefer to go from the 4 straight to the 2's or 2.5's??


Thanks and hop that you guys who were able to make the event today had a great time. Wish that I could have been there.
