Professional Opinion
A barber-length VG-10 with a scratch-resistant moonlight matte coating, so it keeps its dark look through daily over-comb work. Convex edge, offset handle, and sizes to 7.0 inch round out the package.
Maintenance Tips
- Wipe blades after each client
- Oil pivot daily
- Use a sharpener experienced with Japanese convex edges
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Moonlight finish on the Juntetsu VG10?
The Moonlight finish is a dark matte coating applied over VG-10 steel that adds scratch resistance and gives the shears a distinctive low-profile look. It does not affect cutting performance.
Is the Juntetsu Moonlight suitable for hairdressing as well as barbering?
While sized for barbering at 6.0 to 7.0 inches, the 6.0 inch version works well for general hairdressing. The VG-10 convex edge performs equally on wet and dry hair.
