Performance Features
| Feature | Benefit |
| Japanese Steel | Provides a crisp, clean cut without snagging or pulling the fur. |
| Precision Joint | The blade joint is professionally tensioned for effortless adjustment and resistance. |

Maintenance Tips
To keep your 4 Star thinners in peak condition:
-
Clean the blades after every use to remove hair and dander.
-
Oil the pivot screw weekly with a drop of scissor oil.
-
Adjust the tension regularly; if the blades are too loose, they will fold the hair; if too tight, they will cause hand fatigue.
