FC Professional 6" Shear Set vs Matsui Precision Matte Black Shears

Buy the FC set if you want a cutting shear and a thinning shear together, plus a left-handed option. Buy the Matsui if you want one very sharp cutting shear backed by a lifetime warranty. Reviewers of both rate them highly, but owners of the FC set say its cutting shear can struggle with thick, coarse or curly hair out of the case, while Matsui owners consistently call theirs razor-sharp and comfortable. The FC set covers more jobs; the Matsui is the stronger single shear.

• Choose the FC Professional 6" Shear Set if you need both a cutting and a thinning shear in one kit, cut left-handed, or want a matched pair for barber school or a busy chair.
• Choose the Matsui Matte Black Precision Shear if you mainly cut and want one sharp, well-balanced shear with a lifetime warranty and a 5.5" or 6" size choice.
