Where this sits
In S.cosmo's cutting scissors lineup the S.cosmo YS Convex Powerful Series occupies the premium band, priced between the S.cosmo YL Globally Series and the S.cosmo YK Expert Series. Manufactured in Japan.
The YS Convex is the standard convex model in S.cosmo’s Powerful Series, made at Cosmo-Smith Co., Ltd. in Sanjo City, Niigata. It uses a conventional curved blade profile alongside an offset handle, covering blunt cutting, scissor-over-comb, and general hairdressing techniques.
The offset handle angles the thumb ring below the finger ring, reducing shoulder elevation and limiting forearm rotation during horizontal and vertical cutting passes. The convex blade moves cleanly through hair without catching, suitable for both wet and dry work.
The Powerful Series pairs this model with the YS Sword for stylists who need a straight sword blade profile. A slider variant (YS Slider G) is also available within the series. See cosmo-smith.co.jp for sizes and current pricing.
