The perfect thinning shear, with 35 teeth slightly wider apart than conventional thinning shears. It will create a smooth velvety texture in hair and allows the stylist to achieve maximum control with an open, natural grip. The rotating thumb allows stylist to achieve maximum control with reduced physical effort and significantly less thumb travel. This element also ensures an elbow-down, wrist-straight position while cutting. The stylist's body position is not dictated by the shear; the shear position is dictated by the stylist.

The cryogenically tempered steel blades are razor sharp, extremely durable and exceptionally efficient. Ergonomic crane handle design creates an open, natural grip for the stylist. This grip helps to reduce hand and thumb stress, swelling, tingling and numbness associated with carpal tunnel syndrome. The hairdresser experiences relief from strained body positioning and poor posture.

These shears can be used from mid-shaft to ends of the hair. Keep blades moving while cutting out to the ends. Ideal for use on the perimeter of short haircuts or for scissor-over-comb cutting.

In thick or fine hair, the enemy of volume is weight. By weaving the ends of hair, a perfect broken line is created; this is an exact science that should not be left to chance. The ability to break the line consistently – without thinning the hair – so that ends cannot join together, is the point of texturizing the hair.

When texturizing with Rusk Shears, create a series of minute blunt lines, which prevents the ends from joining together. You are not thinning, but stacking one length against another, thereby releasing hair's volume and vital texture. This cannot be done by chipping into hair with conventional shears or using a razor. The effect is entirely different, and every head of hair takes on a fresh, new look.
