Professional Opinion
If you favor a shorter blade, this 5.5 inch offset is built around that preference. The ice-hardened Solingen steel carries a convex edge that suits detail and precision work, and the compact length gives close control around the hairline, ears, and fringe.
Maintenance Tips
- Wipe blades after each client
- Oil the pivot as the maker directs
- Use a professional sharpener experienced with German convex edges
