I cut my husbands and boy's hair to save money. I'm not a professional stylist, by any means, but I know just enough not to butcher a cut. A couple weekends ago, my daughter decided to use my good set of scissors to trim our Shih-poo. I didn't think my boys would appreciate me using the dog scissors on them, so I got this set. At first, I was super ticked with her, but now that I've gotten and used this set I'm kinda glad that she did it. ? This set is much nicer than what I had. You get so many different tools in this set and they come in a nice zip-up carrying case. Both the straight and the thinning pair of scissors are made with high quality Japanese stainless steel. I was surprised at how sharp they were. It'd be super easy to cut yourself or someone else, so be extra careful with these. They cut very smoothly and are extremely comfortable to use, even for larger hands. There's a finger rest, non-slip handles and removable inserts in the thumb holes. The set also includes a cleaning cloth, tweezers, comb, hair clips, razor and 10 razor blades. This is a set that can last for years, if you take care of it. I'm very happy with the quality and value of this set.
