Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Zwilling J.A. Henckels TWINŽ 6" Barber Shears with Finger RestCustomer Review: Great price, but... Summary: 3 Stars
I bought these because I had grown a beard and needed a good pair of scissors to do fine trimming that is always necessary following the coarse cutting of electric clippers. These have stainless steel blades with beveled edges, which cut well but are nowhere near as smooth or accurate as scissors with curved blades. The grips for thumb and finger are coated with some type of plastic that is just textured enough to keep the scissors from slipping in one's hand. I had a beard years ago, when I was in graduate school, and then used a pair of surgical scissors to keep it neat and trimmed. Those scissors have been long gone, but it was the memory of how smoothly and accurately they cut that made me want to try these. I have several kitchen knives by Henckels, so I assumed the same quality and craftsmanship. Not so. These are not bad, and are no doubt a bargain considering the price, but they probably belong in the lower end of the overall quality spectrum for beard trimming scissors or barber scissors. My biggest complaint is that the blades are just too thick to do the fine work I wanted them for. Both blades, at the tip, have a combined thickness of slightly more than 1/4 inch, which makes it impossible to clip single hairs or do fine shaping around the mouth. The scissors are fine for overall shaping, but if you are looking for sometime that will help with fine trimming, keep looking.
