Is this shear good for fades and line-ups?

Yes. The ultra-thin blades are built for accuracy on detailed cuts, which suits line-ups, edges and point cutting. For bulk removal, a wider standard shear is faster.

What does 60 HRC hardness mean?

It is the blade's Rockwell hardness. 60 HRC on Japanese 440 steel means the edge resists dulling well, though very hard edges can chip if dropped or used on wet, heavy hair.

How do I adjust the tension?

Use the flat adjustable screw to set blade tension. Tighten until the blades close smoothly without pinching, and recheck it regularly as the screw can drift with use.

What is the finger rest for?

The removable finger rest gives your pinky a resting point to steady the shear and reduce hand fatigue. Take it off if you prefer a cleaner grip.

Does it come in different sizes?

The shear is offered in 5.5-inch and 6-inch lengths. The 5.5-inch suits detailed work and smaller hands; the 6-inch gives more reach for general cutting.

Is it right for home haircuts?

It is designed for professional barbers, but careful home cutters can use it. The slim blade rewards control and is less forgiving for bulk cutting than a standard shear.
