Professional Opinion
Think of this as the Design Master graduate. The full convex edge is what you are paying for, and it pays off on slide cutting and texture work; the offset handle and 4.5 to 5.5 inch sizing lean toward finer, detail-heavy salon work.
Maintenance Tips
- Wipe blades after each client
- Oil pivot daily
- Use a sharpener experienced with Japanese convex edges
- Kasho recommends their authorized service network for sharpening
Frequently Asked Questions
How does the Kasho Blue differ from the Design Master?
The Blue series uses a full convex blade edge compared to the Design Master's semi-convex. This provides smoother slide cutting and lower resistance, but requires a sharpener experienced with convex geometry. Both use the same VG-10W steel.
