How to use

The hollow-ground convex blades work under tension at their moving contact. That pressure changes with ordinary use, temperature and humidity, so make a tension check part of daily preparation rather than relying on the first setting.

Compare SG2 and the grind alongside the 58–60 HRC range. Hardness measures indentation, not edge sharpness, and equal HRC values can accompany different heat treatment and blade geometry.

Sharpening & Care

Start a drop test with the pivot clean and oiled so residue cannot imitate a tight setting. Hold the tips up by the finger ring, lift the thumb blade to roughly a right angle and release it. Fully shutting is too loose; barely falling is too tight.

Oil belongs at the clean, dry pivot. Move the blades to spread the scissor oil and remove surplus from the faces without wiping along the edge. Use maker-approved oil rather than household, clipper or water-displacing sprays.

Arrange service for continuing folding, pulling, escaped hair needing another close or fine chipping after cleaning, oiling and a tension check. SG2 does not set a service calendar, and each regrind takes away steel.

Built around your grip

The handle decides how your wrist, elbow and shoulder feel at 6pm.

Classic (opposing)Rings in line — the traditional grip; elbow rides high. Suits barbers trained on it. This pair

How this pair cuts

Edge geometry decides technique — and maintenance.

Convex 蛤刃 hamaguri-ba Razor edge for slide and wet cutting, designed for a quiet, low-resistance cut. This pair
Semi-convex Sharp yet forgiving — the versatile all-rounder, easier to maintain than full convex. This pair
Bevelled 段刃 dan-ba Durable workhorse edge with audible feedback — suits blunt cutting and training. This pair
Sword blade 剣刃 ken-ba Ridged spine adds power through thick, dry sections and scissor-over-comb work. This pair
Convex edges need specialist sharpening: a standard grind can flatten the profile. Use a sharpener experienced with convex scissor blades.
