Answer

What are the best MD Barber scissors?

The Eladio, around $35, is a 6.0-inch offset-handle convex cutting shear — the shortest model in the MD Barber cutting range. The Caesar, also around $35, is a 7.0-inch classic-handle convex cutting shear suited to over-comb and point cutting at longer lengths. The Augustine, around $35, is a 7.5-inch classic-handle convex cutting shear for extended-reach barbershop work. The Cato Thinning, around $35, is a 6.5-inch offset thinning shear for blending and texturizing.

The MD Barber line is an entry-level range aimed at working barbers. Steel grades are not published by the brand — for current specifications, the WB Barber Supply storefront at wbbarber.com carries the authoritative listings. The Eladio uses an offset handle at 6.0 inch; the Caesar and Augustine use a classic (even) handle at 7.0 and 7.5 inch respectively, covering the longer blade lengths that characterise barbershop over-comb work. The Cato Thinning is 6.5 inch with an offset handle. All are available through WB Barber Supply.
