For those artists who are able to finesse a thinning shear using more of the tips than anything else. A soft touch is important when using this tool ” not to chomp or cut too much at once “. This tool is for the best of the best, ideal for use on dry hair.
” Cut ratio “, is the amount of hair cut out per 100 strands of hair.
ie. A straight blade scissor cuts 100/100 hairs ( Cut Ratio= 100% ) , while the Acroleaf Thinner K50 cuts out 50 ( Cut Ratio= 50% ), or half of the panel pulled out
The 15, 25, and 50 within the Acroleaf Wide ( Thinning Shear ) series refer to “cut ratio”.
When making the selection below, keep in mind:
Acroleaf Wide 15: Cut Ratio 5 – 15%
Acroleaf Wide 25: Cut Ratio 15 – 25%
Acroleaf Wide 50: Cut Ratio 40 – 50%
Design Note:
Pay close attention to the teeth within teeth ( see photo gallery for a closer look ). This sort of detail is what makes Mizutani stand out in comparison to the rest. Often imitated, but never replicated. Your shears may cut smooth, yet not like these. And a lot has to do with how the teeth within teeth are stacked.
