Professional Opinion
A straightforward everyday cutter in 440C, and the four sizes from 5.5 to 7.0 inch make it easy to match blade length to the technique, from close detail work to longer scissor-over-comb strokes. A sensible station shear for stylists who cut all day.
Maintenance Tips
- Wipe blades after each client
- Oil pivot daily
- Professional sharpening recommended when cutting performance decreases
