Shoutout to that older barber who told me to try a 1.5 guard on dry hair
I usually do all my fades on damp hair with a 1, but a customer wanted a tight fade on super curly hair yesterday and I figured I'd give it a shot. The blend came out way smoother with zero lines, have any of you guys switched to dry cutting for certain textures?

I've been cutting hair about 25 years now and I still prefer damp cutting for most textures. I find dry cutting with a 1.5 can give you a nice blend, but it also tends to catch and pull on coarser hair if you're not super careful.
