Professional Opinion

Michiko calls the Anchor one of its flagship models, an all-rounder meant to cover most of what a working stylist does in a day. The offset handle and convex edge are a proven everyday combination, and four sizes from 5.5 to 7.0 inch let you stay in the same model as your work changes. Around $985.
