Professional Opinion
The large offset handle is the reason to choose the HMJ within the Arc Series, with a roomier grip for stylists who prefer a bigger handle. Cobalt alloy blades with a convex edge come in 5.5 and 6.0 inches under a mirror polish.
Maintenance Tips
- Wipe blades after each client
- Oil pivot regularly
- Professional sharpening recommended when edge dulls
- Store in protective case when not in use
