📌 Before You Choose — Thinners & Texturizers
• Longevity: Thinners/Texturizers are tools you’ll often use for 10–15+ years—invest in quality.
• Teeth & grooves matter: JE 6028 uses 28 teeth with 2 oblique, wave-like grooves at each tooth tip, reducing drag and supporting slide thinning (similar motion to slide cutting with a straight shear).
• Heads-up: Certain straight-groove designs (T40-style) generally do not support slide thinning. Always confirm your model’s groove pattern before using slide techniques.
✂️ Michiko Select JE 6028 — 6.0″ 28T Light Blender (20–25%)
JE 6028 prioritizes gentle blending and shape integrity. It’s ideal for polishing after blunt work, refining layers, and taming weight lines—without over-removal or harsh steps.
🌀 Slide Thinning — 2 Wave Grooves
The two oblique, wave-like grooves at each tooth tip enable slide thinning with low push. Start on mid-lengths to dial in section size, angle, and bite depth; use shallower bites on fine textures.
🎯 Cutting Applications — Soft Blend · Polish · Control
• Soft blending of layers and perimeters with minimal line marking.
• Interior debulking on dense zones while preserving silhouette.
• Dry finishing for face-framing & fringe—natural movement and clean diffusion.
🖐️ Offset Handle — Neutral Thumb Path, All-Day Comfort
The Offset geometry positions the thumb naturally to reduce squeeze and wrist torque during long services. A medium-size thumb ring stabilizes grip for precise, repeatable passes.
