Professional Opinion
The anti-push edge is aimed at sliding and point work where hair tends to fold away from the blades, so it holds through the stroke on wet or dry hair. Barbers get a 7.0 inch option that carries well through scissor-over-comb sections.
Maintenance Tips
- Wipe blades after each client
- Oil pivot daily
- Professional sharpening recommended when cutting performance decreases
