Is it counter intuitive when you look in the mirror so you would use the right taper guard on your left side and vice versa? Or does it go from your own perspective where left taper would go on left side? Hope this makes sense, I’ve been cutting my own hair for years and this has always confused me.
The label corresponsends with the side you are cutting. The right taper is for your right side and left taper for the left.

Each works for both sides, you just have to change from front-to-back to back-to-front.
