Professional Opinion
Freehand texture work is where the Raptor shines, with weighted VG10 cobalt blades that carry extra power through thick hair. The ball bearing screw keeps the action smooth on natural finishing passes. Having four sizes from 5.5 to 7.0 inches makes it easy to find your length.
Maintenance Tips
- Wipe blades after each client
- Oil pivot regularly
