Had to pick between a razor cut or shears for a thick, curly bob

Client wanted a ton of movement but her hair was super dense. Went with the razor for texture and it gave a perfect, piecey shape. Anyone have a go-to technique for blending razored layers with sheared sections?

Oh that's a tough call with dense curls... how do you keep the line from getting too choppy when you switch tools? I always end up with a weird disconnect if I don't blend it just right.

My friend Lisa had that exact problem last month. She tried to use clippers on the back and scissors on top of her husband's super thick hair. The whole thing looked like two different haircuts from the side. What finally worked was her hairdresser telling her to use the scissors to point cut into the clipper line, like little tiny nips, instead of trying to make one clean cut across. It took forever but it blended that hard line right out.
