Professional Opinion
Barbers and anyone doing a lot of scissor over comb will appreciate the extra reach. The 6.8 inch Maticline I covers long comb lines in fewer passes, while the 6.3 inch I S trims that back for tighter work. A slightly offset handle keeps the grip natural.
Maintenance Tips
- Wipe blades after each client
- Oil pivot daily
- Professional sharpening recommended when edge dulls
- Store in protective case when not in use
