How to use

Students can compare the cutter builds in the cutting position before moving to the thinner.

Convex blades work along a narrow ride line. If the setting runs loose, hair can fold as the blades part; if it runs tight, the ride line drags. Clean and check the tool whose action has changed.

Treat the inch label as a nominal size class, not a measurement of reach, and make fit decisions from an in-hand check rather than converting the class.

Sharpening & Care

For service or adjustment, follow the maker's instructions for the hidden pivot on each tool. Use only the procedure and adjustment tool required for that system.

After a client, fold the maintenance cloth into several layers and wipe each blade from pivot towards tip. Keep fingers behind the cloth and never run skin, a nail or a fingertip along an edge.

Never case a damp pair. A closed case holds water and chemical residue against the steel, so the blades and the pivot are dried completely before the scissors go back in the case.

For disinfection, follow the local rule and product label for the full labelled contact time. Rinse when directed, dry completely, and apply oil only afterwards.

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.
