Professional Opinion

Thirty teeth at 6.0 inches take care of general thinning and blending, and the offset handle helps on long days. It pairs naturally with the Ergo Apprentice cutting scissor if you want a matched set.

Maintenance Tips

  • Wipe blades after each client
  • Oil pivot daily
  • Use a sharpener experienced with Japanese convex edges
