Professional Opinion
Not everyone wants a swivel, and the SG is Sensei's answer for stylists who prefer a traditional offset handle. Japanese steel with a convex edge covers versatile everyday cutting, and 5.5 and 6.0 inches are the two most-used salon lengths. The finger rest adds a little extra control.
Maintenance Tips
- Wipe blades after each client
- Oil pivot daily
- Professional sharpening recommended when edge dulls
- Store in protective case when not in use
