News, craft & technique
Straight talk on steel, technique and the tools of the trade — written by the people who make them, for the people who live behind the chair.
No. 02 Buying Guide
Your first professional shears shape your habits for years. What to look for, what to avoid, and why a matched cutting-and-thinning pair is the smartest way to start.
No. 03 Care & Edge
Split ends two weeks after a fresh cut? The problem might be in your hand, not your technique. Five causes of scissor damage, how to spot each one, and the fix.
No. 04 Technique
Structure or softness? When to cut a clean, heavy line, when to break it up with the tips — and how the right shear makes both techniques easier.
“I wanted shears that felt like a luxury — without a luxury price. So we made them.”
Dan Wild · Founder

No. 12 Buying Guide
Length, edge, handle and steel — the four decisions that separate a shear you tolerate from one you never want to put down. A straight-talking guide from our bench in Belfast.
No. 13 Industry
Texture is back, the barber–salon line is blurring, and stylists are finally taking their own bodies seriously. Six shifts we’re seeing from the chair — and what they mean for your kit.
No. 14 Buying Guide
One shear can do a haircut. Three shears can do it beautifully. Our founder on cutting, detailing and texturing — and why the edge on your blade changes everything.
