Frequently asked
Why is offset the most popular handle?
It naturally reduces wrist strain by dropping your elbow during cutting. Over 20+ cuts a day, the ergonomic difference adds up significantly. Most barbers switch to offset once they try it.
Offset vs crane — what's the difference?
Offset drops the thumb ring slightly. Crane takes it further — an extreme angle that's the most ergonomic option. Crane is best for barbers with existing RSI or those working 8+ hour days. Offset is the versatile middle ground.
