Frequently Asked Questions
What is an angled cutting blade and why does it matter for barbering?
An angled blade has a slight upward curve toward the tip that matches the natural comb angle during over-comb cutting. This gives barbers more control when tapering and blending around the ears and neckline.
Can the Tsurugi be used for regular salon haircutting?
While it can handle general cutting, the angled blade is optimized for barber techniques like over-comb work and scissor-over-comb fades. For all-purpose salon cutting, the Ichiro Offset or Precision Master is a better fit.
