Smooth, precise, and hand-finished in Japan—an exclusive online collection of authentic Japanese shears.
✂️ Michiko Select M T302 — 6.0″ 30T Offset Everyday Blender (20–25%)
M T302 is tuned for clean diffusion and shape preservation after blunt work. Refine layering, soften weight lines, and tidy fringe/face-framing with minimal visible marks—fast, repeatable, and controlled.
🌀 Slide Thinning — 2 Wave Grooves
The oblique, wave-like grooves (×2) at each tooth tip help reduce drag and support slide thinning (similar motion to slide cutting with a straight shear). Start on mid-lengths to dial in section size, angle, and bite depth.
🎯 Cutting Applications — Blend · Soften · Finish
• Seamless blending: diffuse harsh edges after blunt cuts without collapsing the silhouette.
• Interior debulking: remove visual weight in mid-lengths; refine heavy corners and weight lines.
• Dry finishing: natural movement around fringe and face-framing with low line marking.
Tip: Removal varies by section size, angle (0–45°), and bite depth—use shallower bites on fine hair.
