Professional Opinion
Cobalt alloy holds its edge longer than standard stainless, so sharpening intervals stretch out under regular salon use. The super convex grind glides through precision work, and the offset handle keeps wrist elevation down.

- Wipe blades after each client
- Oil the pivot point regularly
