Professional Opinion
The skull-themed handle gives this one character, and the 440C blade with a convex edge keeps it working as an everyday cutter. Value-priced in 5.5 and 6.0 inch lengths for stylists who like their kit with attitude.
Maintenance Tips
- Wipe blades after each client
- Oil the pivot as the maker directs
