Description
A high-rate bulk-removal texturizer in molybdenum cobalt alloy with a smooth, soft cut. The 727 uses a flat tooth at 60 percent thinning and the 729 a three-groove tooth at 70 percent.
Where this sits
In Hikari's thinning scissors lineup the Hikari C-Texturizer Thinning Shears occupies the luxury tier, priced between the Hikari Nina Cosmos Thinning Shears and the Hikari C-EVO R Thinning Shears. It uses Cobalt Alloy, a Premium Japanese stainless from Japan with a working hardness of 59–62 HRC. Manufactured in Japan.
C-Texturizer is a high-rate, bulk-removal thinning shear in molybdenum cobalt alloy that Hikari tunes for a smooth, soft cut. The 727 carries a flat tooth at a 60 percent thinning rate, while the 729 uses a three-groove tooth at 70 percent for heavier removal.

Professional Opinion
When the brief is serious bulk removal, these two deliver. The 727 takes 60 percent with a flat tooth and the 729 reaches 70 percent with a three-groove tooth, yet the cut stays smooth and soft. Best kept for thick, dense hair.
Maintenance Tips
