Professional Opinion
Five sizes topping out at 7.5 inches tell you who the Cobalt Power is for: barber-style cutting, bulk removal, and anyone who wants serious blade length behind each stroke. The power blade design and roughly 70% cobalt alloy handle heavy work, and the offset grip keeps it manageable.
