Professional Opinion
A rotating thumb ring keeps wrist deviation down during long cutting sessions, which is exactly who this shear is for. Stylists feeling wrist fatigue by the end of the day get swivel ergonomics with a convex edge in 5.5 or 6.0 inches.
Maintenance Tips
- Wipe blades after each client
- Oil pivot regularly
- Professional sharpening recommended when edge dulls
- Store in protective case when not in use
