Professional Opinion
Two swivel points give 720 degrees of rotation, so the thumb and wrist barely have to move out of a relaxed position. At 5.75 inches it is a comfortable daily cutter for working stylists who want maximum ergonomic freedom.
Maintenance Tips
- Wipe blades after each client
- Oil the pivot as the maker directs
- Professional sharpening recommended when cutting performance decreases
