Where this sits
In Infinity's thinning scissors lineup the Infinity Academy Thinning occupies the budget band, priced below the Infinity Cutlass Thinning.
The Infinity Academy Thinning is the entry-level thinning shear in the Infinity range, priced at £40 through Scissors Craft. It uses a toothed blade to remove weight and blend sections without visibly reducing length — useful for softening blunt cut lines, reducing bulk in thick hair, and blending graduation. The offset handle reduces wrist elevation during use.
At the same price as the Academy Cutting shear, the Academy Thinning is designed to work alongside it as a matched entry-level pair. Both use stainless steel construction and share the offset handle geometry.
For the full Infinity range, see the Infinity brand page on ScissorPedia.
