How to use

Tension is the pressure holding the blades together at their moving contact. Temperature, humidity and ordinary use can change that pressure, so check it daily rather than assuming the starting setting will last.

When hair folds, bends or pushes away, first clean and oil the joint, then check tension. A gummed or loose pivot can imitate a dull edge; booking a sharpen before that check can send away a tool whose setting, not sharpness, needs attention.

Sharpening & Care

Unless the maker allows a particular method, do not soak, boil, steam or autoclave the scissors or use an ultrasonic bath. Abrasive polish and rust erasers also need the maker’s permission: stainless steel is not rust-proof, especially at the edge, pivot and scratches.

With the pivot clean and oiled, hold the scissors tips-up by the finger ring, open the thumb blade to about a right angle and release it. Too little movement means excess tension; falling completely shut means the setting is loose. Finish by judging the cut for smooth movement without folding or forcing.

Recheck during the first haircuts as the washer compresses and seats. The initial setting may loosen; a tension test and small adjustment address that settling before it becomes a reason to force the blades.

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.
