Professional Opinion
Made to partner the Offset cutting scissor, sharing the same handle geometry so the pair feels consistent in hand. V-teeth at 6.0 inches handle general thinning and blending, taking out roughly a quarter to a third of the hair per pass, and the 440C blade at 58 to 60 HRC holds its edge well.
Maintenance Tips
- Wipe blades after each client
- Oil the pivot as the maker directs
- Use a sharpener experienced with Japanese convex edges
Frequently Asked Questions
How much hair do V-teeth remove per cut?
V-teeth typically remove around 25-35% of hair per pass, making them suitable for general thinning and blending work. For lighter removal, consider the Texture Master in H-tooth configuration.
