Professional Opinion
A slightly flared 440C blade is what makes the TA slide cut so smoothly. The size run goes all the way to 8.0 inches, rare in this group, which makes it a natural pick for scissor-over-comb and barbering as well as slide work.
Maintenance Tips
- Wipe blades after each client
- Oil pivot regularly
- Professional sharpening recommended when edge dulls
- Store in protective case when not in use
