Professional Opinion
A convex blade in high carbon steel gives the Booster a keen, smooth-cutting edge for general salon work, with the offset handle easing the wrist angle through the day. Like any carbon blade it repays the wipe-down and oiling routine listed in the maintenance tips.
Maintenance Tips
- Wipe blades after each client
- Oil the pivot point regularly
- Professional sharpening when edge dulls
- Store in protective case
