Professional Opinion
From Michiko's Painkiller Premium Line, the Epic pairs a flexible swivel thumb with a semi-offset handle for all-around cutting. Keeping comb and shears in one hand between sections becomes second nature after a week or two. Four lengths from 5.5 to 7.0 inch, ATS-314 steel, around US$828.
