Ok, there is no sound because I don't feel like having my voice put all over the internet.

OK, when you start cutting lace you can wet the hair down and brush in the direction of the lace you'll be keeping to minimize any hair that may get caught when cutting the lace. I DON'T do this because is minimizes the contrast between seeing the scissor blade and the hair behind it. I like to see the hair behind my scissor blade before I cut.

Look at the way I start the cut, I "catch" the edge of the lace with the pointed edge of the scissor blade and angle the blade upwards towards the lace, trying to get the hair beneath the blade so I can only see the lace, then the edge of the blade and no hair in between. I slide the blade back and forth until I get all the hair underneath the blade, you can see the pressure and angle when I'm sliding the blade, that one time it pokes through the lace as I'm trying to get the blade flush against the lace without any hair in between. When I'm satisfied that there is no hair between the lace and the scissor blade, I make the cut.
