Professional Opinion
The Yugen leans into precision. A refined convex edge in the two most versatile lengths for detailed professional work. Stylists who favour controlled, deliberate technique will get the most from it, particularly the 5.5 for close, accurate sectioning.
Maintenance Tips
- Wipe blades after each client
- Oil pivot daily
- Professional sharpening recommended when cutting performance decreases
