Almost every person I know who cuts with swivel-thumb shears really likes it. I’m trying to remember anyone I’ve spoken with who didn’t…. Now early in my career, I was told that if i wanted to cut with swivel thumb shears, that I should do it before my hands had learned the muscle memory of standard shears that don’t swivel.

Episode Summary
- Do Barbers need to do this early in our career?
- What happens as we adjust to the new shears?
