i just gotta say, its really nice seeing someone do more "shear" videos ...ur one of the few thatll throw a shear vid out every now & again & its much appreciated... & may i add, u do some brilliant shear work my brother... thank u dude
Slide cutting shears are also great for point cutting, as well "talking" them across the top length for added texture. The reason for the flip shears is because the direction the teeth of the thinning/texture shear is facing is the direction of influence you give to the hair. For example, using your thinning shear in the usual way influences the hair to push up. Flip the shear, and the teeth are now on top. This influences the hair down. I flip my regular thinning shears when I need to blend or take weight from a cowlick but don't want it to stand up from doing so. Easy way to remember is teeth up, hair up. Teeth down, hair down. Give it a try. It's an awesome technique.
I just bought the 6.5 shears & the Koa flip shears. These things are sharp & cut the straightest crispiest line! So sharp in fact, I took a chunk out of my knuckle 😂 That’s my fault of course …I still love them. I work with my mom & she bought them as well!
Schweet upload. Thank you kindly for the info you shared in this vid.From a fellow barber point of view this is a great way to get into(and stay sharp) in the straight hair hair game. Keep informing the people...
@moi9148 I've only done about 100-200 cuts over the past year, so not too much frequency on them. They could use some sharpening, but still really enjoyable to use.
Mizutani! They are the highest quality and still handmade in Japan but definitely not a beginner shear. They can be a tad on the expensive side. Find your nearest showroom and if you are in Philly they is one showroom there.
We will have to respectfully agree to disagree but I have used Hanzo for years and then switched to mizutani. Night and day difference. I can’t touch Hanzo anymore they feel very cheap
@@alvatrooper oh I got you 😂 trust me I get you. You should see me moving the camera again and again to try and center it from the other side of my chair. I have those waiting chairs and my barber chair and mat in the way too lol. It’s a pain! I’ll do better 😜
What’s shears do you actually use day to day? I’m wanting to buy the best possible shears for my wife who’s a cosmetologist. I’ve looked at the hanzo previous to this video now the mizutani and of course the fresh. She deserves the best so which ones should I purchase 😊
I'm trying to get all the tools I will need to cut hair even after this I'm not sure what scissors to get from them. I'm willing to buy 4 scissors at most to go along with my clipper, trimmer, shaver. Which 4 scissors would you recommend?
You’d just have to try some and see I suppose. I used to use larger shears. Slowly worked my way down to 5.5” and love them. Just have to find your preference
I love ❤️ your channel. I got the makai 5.5. The tang(pinky grip) is so horrible I simply can’t use these shears. I love the concept $100 plus $50 for new pair. Is there anyway they can make their makai models with the same tang as their other models. The tiny flat tang on their shear models is so dangerous there’s no ergonomics or power. Coming from a mizutani DB 20 5.5 for $1,300 it’s not even in the same league. The only good feeling tang and scissor from them is the Matsu 6.75 inch. They need this tang on all their other models. The problem with the Matsu is is way too large to be your all around shear. I wish I could ask them directly to change their tang designs because the company is great and their price is a home run but those tiny flat tangs on all their models is insanely bad and dangerous
They don’t have any blending shears? I don’t want another pair of thinning shears if anyone can let me know it will be appreciated blending shears and thinning shears aren’t exactly the same thing
Wait!? So you don’t sharpen fresh shears?? At my shop we have a guy who sharpens each pair of shears for $40 and we find ourselves sharpening them a couple times a year…. If I pay $100 then $50 a year on shears I’ll be saving A LOT of money😮
If u know how to cut hair, all u need is one pair standard size shears and one pair of thinning shears: all these companies taking advantage of knew Barbers making them that they need a lot more than they need: and that goes goes for all barber tools
They’re not taking advantage. They’re giving options. No one is making a barber buy multiple shears or multiple clippers. Yes it can be done with just one set
i just gotta say, its really nice seeing someone do more "shear" videos ...ur one of the few thatll throw a shear vid out every now & again & its much appreciated... & may i add, u do some brilliant shear work my brother... thank u dude
Appreciate it! I try to bring a little of everything

I plan on it!
Copped a set of these over a year ago because of you. I love them
Love to hear it!
How are they holding up a year later?

It changed recently and I didn’t know, that’s my bad. Hope you love them!

New editor doing justice on these videos
🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
I use both the 7" Mehani and Akira 50 shears and they work great and just as good as human shears
Yeah nice!
I bought some 3 years ago (non barber) trim my beard etc and let my barber borrow and he fell in love with them bang for your buck
Love it!
7 is my all arounder takes a bit to get used to but i can point cut and do anything i need to do with them
Sheesh 😬😳
dont use shears too much at the moment, but had to comment on the video quality. Shit is pro tier my dude!
I appreciate it! Trying to level up the content!

I’m good with these. I’ve used mizutani before and they’re solid, but don’t do anything these won’t do. For a fraction of the price
We will have to respectfully agree to disagree but I have used Hanzo for years and then switched to mizutani. Night and day difference. I can’t touch Hanzo anymore they feel very cheap
@@depthsofyourmind6070 nah I agree 100% to that statement. Mizutani quality is top notch
Well I know what I’m getting when I need new shears 😎🤙🏼
Do it 🙌🏻
The thinning shear that has a blunt blade, the cool thing about them they leave no cutting marks
👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
Reuzel shears are the best coz they sharp like black shears 😎
Idk about it
🔥🔥🔥🔥 Video the lab looking amazing and producing 🔥🔥🔥 bro and very informative bro trully appreciate the knowledge 💯🫡
Thank you 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Another fire and banger video,still due for a nice pair❤❤

Thanks dude! Trying to bring the heat!
@@Seancutshair You always do….Keep it up,you been a big inspiration to my life since I been in school.🔥
you should make the table and the clipper wall more in the middle of the shot. itll look sick asf
It’s pretty in the middle is it not? Am I not understanding what you’re saying?
@@Seancutshair nah its just like a bit to the right, triggers the ocd lmao😂😂

He’s not cappin these is it I own 4 sets

Thanks dude- just ordered the makai 5.5” so my wife can cut my hair at home.
They’ll be great!

I use these FreshShears 5.5” Makai!
@seancutshair would you recommend the 30T, 35T or 40T for blending? Thank you 🙏🏼
You should review kamisori shears, Ive seen a lot of good reviews and that they are better than Hanzo shears
I think I have enough 😂
Hey Sean. How can i get these shears shipped to Norway. Really want to test them out ! Possible to help me out ?🔥
I’m not sure maybe reach out to their support and see if they can do it
is there a difference between bay bliss lo pro and bay bliss pro?
Lo pro is a clipper Babyliss pro is the company
Awesome content
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
what is the website to purchase Fresh Shears?
www.freshprotools.com/?aff=18
Love them
👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
Where or how to sharp the scissors?
Usually there is a sharpener or two in your area. Would just have to look into it
I'm trying to get all the tools I will need to cut hair even after this I'm not sure what scissors to get from them. I'm willing to buy 4 scissors at most to go along with my clipper, trimmer, shaver. Which 4 scissors would you recommend?
I'd say a 5.5", maybe a 6.5" or 7" for scissor over comb, and a standard thinner like a 40 tooth or 34 tooth. That's all you really need
@@Seancutshair Which would you say more the 6.5 or 7 and the 40 or 34 tooth?
Hey sean what is the best thinning shears for blending ?? And how supposed to be the shape and the teeth of it ?
I just use a standard 40 tooth or something close to
@@Seancutshair40T or 35T? Thank you
What type of steel?
high carbon 440c steel
Thanks, Sean.
How do we know what works for us
You’d just have to try some and see I suppose. I used to use larger shears. Slowly worked my way down to 5.5” and love them. Just have to find your preference
if you could only afford 1 shear for cutting/barbering and 1 for texture what 2 shears excactly would it be?
Probably a 6” standard shear, and a 40 tooth thinner
@@Seancutshair Thanks for your reply, appreciate your content. Which exactly would you recommend? (Makai or Matsu and Koa40?)

You ever try swivels? Just got some and cut with them for a day and I’m not sure yet..
Yeah not a fan but there’s a time and place for them
They don’t have any blending shears? I don’t want another pair of thinning shears if anyone can let me know it will be appreciated blending shears and thinning shears aren’t exactly the same thing
They have every style shear you could need
@@Seancutshair which ones are the blending shears bro? I don’t wanna get the wrong on accident lol thank you for the response bro I appreciate it
@@CutzbyJwavy thinning shears/blending shears are the same thing there are just different teeth options. I use the kama 35 I believe
@@Seancutshair oh ok thank you bro! Bouta purchase a set rn
Have you ever tried rock paper shears a shot?
Might have to try it 😜
Shears and scissors
Depends on where you’re from!

btw… yall know What happend with TPOB? They disappeared from ig. Website also gone…
No it’s not I just talked to him yesterday. His ig and website are good 👌🏻
he probs blocked u
the discount code only takes 5% off no matter the quantity
Shouldn’t be but I’ll look into it
Just reached out. They had stopped that a while back. Just updated it to 5% if one, 10% off two or more
If u know how to cut hair, all u need is one pair standard size shears and one pair of thinning shears: all these companies taking advantage of knew Barbers making them that they need a lot more than they need: and that goes goes for all barber tools
