Texturizing shears
Weight out, no line left behind
A texturizer is judged by what it leaves in the hair. Standard notched teeth take weight out in a pattern, and on fine or light-colored hair that pattern can show. This shear runs 24 teeth with a no-line serration, so the hair it leaves behind blends into the hair around it at every setting on the dial.

The steel, explained
Where AG22 sits on the scale
The HRC number is the Rockwell Hardness rating. The higher it is, the harder the steel, the finer the edge, and the longer it holds. Most brands will not tell you what is in the blade. This is the hardest steel we carry.
Budget steel · 420 grade ~52–55 HRC
Dulls fast. Needs frequent sharpening to stay usable.
Premium · VG-1059–60 HRC
What most $400–$850 shears are built on. The industry standard for premium.
AG16 cobalt61 HRC
The steel in our Ergo, Nova, and iCrane lines. 400+ cutting hours between sharpenings.
AG22 flat bar forged cobalt62–62-64 HRC
This shear. The hardest steel we carry, and the top of the material chain.
Shears built on this grade of steel typically start around $1,600. Same material chain, same forging, without the name on the blade.
Who this shear is for
If you texturize now and then, a standard texturizer will serve you well and cost less. This one is for the hair pro who texturizes in nearly every cut, moves between fine and thick hair all day, and is tired of carrying a different thinner for each.
