Professional Opinion
An apprentice-tier box that still covers the whole counter, with cutting scissors, a 6.0 inch thinner, razor, and case inside. Sensible when you want a first professional kit in one purchase.
Maintenance Tips
- Wipe blades after each client
- Oil the pivot as the maker directs
- Use a sharpener experienced with Japanese convex edges
