Professional Opinion
Experienced hands who know the standard Cosmos will recognize the step up here. It is made in a molybdenum cobalt alloy, and the range runs long: 6.0, 6.5, and 7.0 inches. The 157 earns its place on longer, wider sections.
Maintenance Tips
- Wipe blades after each client
- Oil the pivot as the maker directs
