Professional Opinion
Two things make the X Offset interesting, the sculpted 3D semi-offset handle for wrists that ache by evening, and in-between 5.25 and 5.75 inch sizing. Stainless alloy with a standard blade keeps the spend moderate.
Maintenance Tips
- Wipe blades after each client
- Oil the pivot after use
- Use a sharpener experienced with Japanese convex edges
Frequently Asked Questions
What does 3D handle mean on the Joewell X Offset?
The 3D handle has a sculpted, three-dimensional shape that follows the natural curve of the hand more closely than a flat handle. Whether it feels more comfortable depends on your hand, so try it first.
Why are the Joewell X sizes 5.25 and 5.75 instead of standard sizes?
The intermediate sizes offer stylists options between the standard 5.0/5.5 and 5.5/6.0 increments. Some stylists find these in-between lengths give them the reach they want for their technique.
