Professional Opinion
The rounded safety tip is the whole point here, guarding against nicks around small, moving heads and ears. Compact 5.0 and 5.5 inch sizes suit children's appointments and mobile stylists working in homes.
Maintenance Tips
- Wipe blades after each client
- Oil pivot daily
- Use a sharpener experienced with Japanese convex edges
