Professional Opinion
If snagging has ever put you off thinning, the double-blade layout here is the answer, teeth on both blades for a smooth, pull-free pass. The black titanium finish makes it a talking point at the station too.
Maintenance Tips
- Wipe blades after each client
- Oil pivot daily
- Use a sharpener experienced with Japanese convex edges
- Avoid abrasive cleaners that may damage the black titanium coating
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a double-blade thinning scissor?
A double-blade thinning scissor has teeth on both blades rather than one smooth blade and one toothed blade. This creates a smoother thinning action with less pulling, as hair is captured and cut more evenly between the two toothed blades.
Does the black titanium coating affect performance?
The black titanium coating adds surface hardness and reduces friction, contributing to smoother cutting action. It also gives the BC-40 its distinctive appearance. The coating is durable but should be protected from abrasive cleaners.
