Professional Opinion
Left-handed thinning, done properly. Pick the LT-37 at 25 percent for blending and general texture, or the L6032 with 30 teeth at 40 percent when thick hair needs real reduction. Both are true left-handed builds in molybdenum alloy.
Maintenance Tips
- Wipe blades after each client
- Oil pivot daily
- Use only a sharpener experienced with Hikari edges
