Professional Opinion
The crescent-shaped blade drops a few degrees toward the hair, which makes point cutting and slicing feel natural without forcing the wrist. Freehand texture work is a comfortable fit too. ATS-314 cobalt alloy keeps the edge dependable, and the sculpted handle fills the hand nicely.
Maintenance Tips
- Wipe blades after each client
