- Are these shears sharp enough for professional barber use?
- Yes, the convex razor edge is sharp enough for everyday scissor work and clipper-over-comb. Heavy daily use will dull them faster than premium Japanese shears, so plan on periodic sharpening.
- What is the difference between razor edge and bevel edge shears?
- A razor (convex) edge is ground to a smooth curve and slices hair with less push. A bevel edge has a flat ground face; it is more durable but less smooth for slide cutting.
- Can left-handed barbers use these?
- These are right-handed shears with the finger rest on the right side. Left-handed cutters should look for a dedicated left-handed model.
- How do I adjust the tension screw?
- Turn the screw clockwise to tighten the blades and counterclockwise to loosen them. Aim for a smooth close with no gap and no drag between the blades.
- Are they suitable for cutting wet hair?
- They can cut damp hair, but the razor edge is designed for dry cutting. Heavy wet-hair work will dull the edge faster.
- What comes in the box?
- The shear comes with a removable finger rest and a tension adjustment tool. A case or pouch is not always included, so check the listing.
