Professional Opinion
Forty teeth taking around 40 percent of the weight means this blender softens lines quickly without leaving obvious steps, handy for merging layers or tidying a grow-out. The 6.0 inch offset build stays comfortable through repeat blending passes.
Maintenance Tips
- Wipe blades after each client
- Oil pivot daily
- Professional sharpening recommended when cutting performance decreases
