Professional Opinion
VG-10 cobalt steel and a size run out to 7.5 inches make the YWX a practical crossover for hairdressers and barbers alike. Shorter lengths handle precision sections comfortably, while the 7.5 gives barbers extra reach on scissor over comb work. The ergonomic handle keeps long cutting days manageable.
Maintenance Tips
- Wipe blades after each client
- Oil pivot regularly
- Professional sharpening recommended when edge dulls
- Store in protective case when not in use
