The knife-shaped blade design of the X-5 with increased depth and wider blade make it perfect for heavy-duty cutting.
The extra weight in the blade provides power and momentum in the cutting action which is beneficial for ease of use with slide, slice, scissor over comb and dry cutting techniques.
The X-5 is one of our best selling designs and primarily favoured by barbers due to extra weight and techniques it excels at. It is very popular among hairdressers for blunt cutting techniques or slice and slide cutting.
