Professional Opinion
The wide-set 15-tooth Taiyo is a texturizer for chunkier texture and bulk removal rather than fine blending.
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
Why does the Taiyo only have 15 teeth when most thinners have 30?
The 15-tooth count is better classified as a texturizer rather than a thinner, ideal for creating movement and removing significant bulk.
