Professional Opinion
Long over-comb sessions are where this earns its keep. The deep offset ergo handle takes strain off the thumb across a full day of men's cutting. Takefu VG-10 with a convex edge, in barber lengths to 7.0 inch.
Maintenance Tips
- Wipe blades after each client
- Oil the pivot as the maker directs
- Use a sharpener experienced with Japanese convex edges

Is VG-10 steel suitable for barbering?
