Professional Opinion
Dry cutting asks more of a blade, and the Heavy answers with wider, heavier blades and a sasa-ba edge that move through dry sections without folding the hair. Slide cutting on dry hair is its home ground, and the swivel thumb keeps your wrist neutral through long sessions. 6.0 inch, around US$840.
