A Melbourne barber might move from a tight fade to a longer scissor cut in the next chair. Choose tools that make both jobs comfortable.
Start with your main cutter
A 6.5–7 inch shear gives reach for scissor-over-comb. If your work leans toward tight outlines and textured detail, a shorter cutter may earn more chair time. Compare lengths and handle shapes in the size guide and handle guide.
Give each extra pair a job
A thinning shear can soften a weight line. A second cutter keeps the station moving while the first is being sharpened. Clean and dry each pair before it goes back in the case; our maintenance guide covers the basics.
