{"product_id":"the-cutting-room-barber-shears-set","title":"The Cutting Room | 5.5-Inch 9CR13 Barber Shears with 28-Tooth Thinner","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"product-narrative\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery Cut Is a Decision Made in Half a Second. A barber reaching for the wrong pair of shears has already lost the line. The Cutting Room set keeps two blades within reach: a 5.5-inch cutting shear for clean, deliberate length, and a 28-tooth thinning blade for the sections that need weight removed rather than length taken.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe cutting blade is forged from 9CR13 alloy and hardened to HRC 58-60, hard enough to hold an edge through a working week but still serviceable on a whetstone. Blunt tips keep the points away from scalps and ears, which matters most when the chair holds a child. A single tension screw adjusts the pivot, so the feel of the cut stays where the hand expects it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe thinning blade removes roughly 25 percent of the hair in each pass, which is the range that softens a hard line without leaving a visible notch. Both blades arrive sharpened and ready, checked before packing and fixed in place for shipping. Left-handed users should look elsewhere. For everyone else, this is a working tool at a working price, with a leather case or paper box to keep it that way.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAny shears that cut hair will eventually dull, and the difference between a tool that lasts and one that does not is how it is treated between cuts. Hair holds grit, and grit wears a blade faster than hair ever will, so the pair should be wiped clean after each client and dried before it goes back in the case. Dropping them, cutting paper with them, or leaving them open on a counter all shorten the edge. Treated properly, 9CR13 at HRC 58-60 will hold through months of shop work before it needs a pass on a whetstone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eSharpness is not a feature.

Barbers use the cutting shear for scissor-over-comb work and the thinner for blending the heavy sections, so a full service can run without a single blade change. Salon stylists keep the pair for precision work on fine hair, where a 25 percent thinning rate removes bulk without exposing the scalp. Home users who cut their own family hair get blunt tips near the ears and enough hardness that the blades still cut properly after a year.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKeeping the Edge\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWipe both blades with a dry cloth after use and oil the pivot screw occasionally. Store them closed in the supplied case rather than loose in a drawer, where they will contact other metal. Avoid cutting paper, plastic or dry trimming with these blades; a dedicated paper shear costs less than a re-grind. When the cutting shear starts to push hair instead of slicing it, that is the signal for a light honing rather than a harder squeeze on the tension screw. Adjust the tension so the blades close under their own weight when held open and released.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"product-faq\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-bottom:15px;\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Is this set suitable for left-handed users?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. Both blades are ground for right-handed cutting.
