Second attempt at stripes failed, so I had to pivot! Any tips for getting those beautiful crisp buttercream stripes?

I’m happy enough with the result, but I really wish I could crack the code to stripes! I have tried two different cake combs and two different American buttercream recipes. When I run the comb through the first layer, I just can’t get clean edges. Do I need to try a SMBC? Work with cooler/warmer buttercream? Try another comb? Any help is appreciated!
