About
MD Barber is a US barber-supply brand. It began as MD Barber Supply, LLC, a distributor founded in 2008 in Williamsport, Pennsylvania, that carried its own line of products alongside the goods it stocked. In September 2017 the business was acquired by The Stephan Co. (St. Petersburg, FL), which operates it next to Williamsport Bowman, Morris Flamingo, Norva, and 614 Barber Supply. The shear range is sold under the WB Barber Supply storefront (wbbarber.com), which now houses the MD Barber catalogue.
Shear range
MD Barber’s house-brand shears are an affordable line aimed at barbers, listing in the roughly $30–$37 band on the WB Barber storefront. The current models are the Eladio 6”, the Cato Thinning 6.5”, the Augustine 7.5”, the Caesar 7”, and the Stainless Steel Thinning 8”, plus an Eladio and Cato combo. The storefront does not publish a steel grade for the line. For up-to-date model specifications, handle options, and availability, the MD Barber listings on Williamsport Bowman are the authoritative source.

Product range
Four MD Barber models are catalogued, all at $35: the Eladio 6” Cutting Shear, the Caesar 7” Cutting Shear, the Augustine 7.5” Cutting Shear, and the Cato Thinning Shear. The three cutting builds span 6.0”, 7.0”, and 7.5” blade lengths — covering both the salon and the longer barbershop cutting range. All four models are uniformly priced at $35, which places MD Barber firmly in the entry tier of the US professional market.
Who it suits
The three-length cutting range makes MD Barber practical for barbershops that want to stock a full set of entry-level professional shears at a consistent price. The Cato thinning shear at $35 rounds out the kit for stylists who need a blending option alongside their cutting builds.
