Professional Opinion
For stylists trained on a traditional hand position, the M2 pairs the Auro cobalt alloy grind with a straight handle across four sizes. It handles sectioning and blunt work well, and slots in as the straight-handled companion next to an offset daily driver.
Maintenance Tips
- Clean and dry blades after each service
- Oil the pivot as the maker directs
- Rebalance the thumb screw after cleaning to maintain smooth glide
