Professional Opinion
Thirty teeth on a 6.0-inch cobalt blade puts this in the sweet spot for everyday blending work, since each pass removes a moderate amount and you can move through a section without harsh lines. The offset handle keeps your wrist neutral on a long day of thinning.
Maintenance Tips
- Wipe blades after each client
- Oil pivot regularly
- Professional sharpening recommended when edge dulls
- Store in protective case when not in use
