Professional Opinion
A fine pick for anyone working on finer hair or doing lots of point cutting. The blade is among the thinnest and lightest Osaka makes, which means less hand fatigue and a delicate touch around the ears and neckline. It runs from 5.0 to 6.0 inches, all in the nimble range.
Maintenance Tips
- Wipe blades after each client
- Oil pivot regularly
- Professional sharpening recommended when edge dulls
- Store in protective case when not in use
