Long shear, fast work over the comb.
The Olivia Garden Barber Shears Kit #OGB-C05 pairs a 7-inch cutting shear with a 30-tooth thinner. Seven inches is a long barber shear, and the reason to want one is speed — it covers more hair per stroke over the comb, which makes scissor work on a full head noticeably quicker. The 30-tooth thinner handles the blending afterwards.
It takes getting used to if you have been on a 6-inch. The payoff is speed on scissor-over-comb; the trade is less finesse on tight detail work.
Barbers doing traditional scissor work, longer men's cuts and heavy bulk removal over the comb.
Once you have worked a full head with a 7-inch shear, a short one starts feeling like it is taking forever.
Olivia Garden manufactures professional shears, brushes and combs for the hairdressing and barbering trade.
