I have been using the Makai swivel 6.5 for over 3 years and have introduced this shear to fellow stylist and barbers as well. Very comfortable grip, precise cut and swivels like a freshly oiled styling chair. After being duped into purchasing a very high dollar shear from a company that goes into hibernation once purchased, I decided not to go with over the top marketers. Found fresh shears at the premiere beauty show and have been extremely satisfied since then. These shears are incredible and very very affordable! Lease do yourself the favor and try out these shears. You can sign up for their stay fresh program and swap out at anytime or get a fresh pair when it’s time for sharpening. Great company, even better product and customer service!
