Use and care

For trained cutting use only. Wipe the blades between clients and after the workday, keep them dry, and protect the edges from drops or contact with hard surfaces. When the pivot needs lubrication, place two or three drops of shear oil near the screw, open and close the blades, then wipe away loosened debris. Adjust tension only as directed and store the closed shear in a protective case.

Why barbers and stylists choose it

The gunmetal Invent shear pairs a hand-honed semi-convex edge with an offset, craned handle for precise cutting. Its controlled feel supports blunt cuts and layered shaping, making it a practical tool for everyday salon techniques.
