For most of my life, I have trimmed my hair to avoid high costs of hairstylists. Because I am very artistic and a perfectionist, I started trimming and styling my husband’s hair during the pandemic when all the barbers were closed due to the government mandates. My husband says that I do a better job than the barbers, so this now has become my job. I have always used high quality shears for myself, so when I saw these online, I had to try them. They are definitely high quality. I use the cutting shears first to shorten and style his hair and the thinning shears to blend and add texture. Both open and close smoothly and are very precise with cutting. They are very sharp. I barely nicked my finger and drew some blood, so be careful. I like the extended, offset crane handle. The finger holes are adequate, and fine for me, but for large hands they may be too small. This set also comes with a razor which I don’t use (yet). My husband doesn’t trust me with a razor in my hands…lol. There is a small cloth that is included in the leather pouch, but I find it too small to really suit my needs. The leather pouch is quite nice because it locks the tools in place. The only drawback is that the snaps are rather hard to push closed. This set might be pricey for some people, but it is good quality and should last.
