BARBER SHEARS
BARBER SHEARS (or scissors) should be made of stainless steel, fixed together with an adjustable hinge, has a contoured handle for the right or left hand which includes a tang located on the smaller ring for stability in the hand, and very sharp.
Shears can be hand-forged, machine-forged, or cast. They are hand-sharpened or digitally sharpened during manufacturing.
Cast blades are cast-mold formed and cooled, often digitally sharpened to save money during manufacturing.
There are two kinds of barber shears:
Standard Shears (top photo) - barber shears with straight blades designed for cutting hair.
Thinning Shears (bottom photo) - barber shears with toothed blades designed to do three things with proper technique:
1. Add texture to hair.
2. Feather layers of hair to blend different lengths of hair.
3. Remove volume from hair.
Conventional blades have beveled edges.
Japanese blades have convex edges.
