FAQ - JW Shears C2 TS27 Thinning Series

Q: What is the JW C2 TS27 Thinning Shear used for?
A: The JW C2 TS27 Thinning Shear is a professional thinning/texturizing shear designed to create and refine soft texture while removing weight from hair. With 27 teeth and an approximate 25% cut ratio, it removes about one-quarter of the hair in each section, making it ideal for medium thinning, weight reduction, and blending in medium to thick hair types .

Q: What is the cut ratio of the C2 TS27?
A: The C2 TS27 has an approximate 25% cut ratio. This means each closure removes about one-quarter of the hair in the section, positioning it as a medium-thinning shear .

Q: How many teeth does the C2 TS27 have?
A: The C2 TS27 features 27 teeth on the comb blade. This tooth count provides a balanced cut—more aggressive than a 40-tooth blender but more subtle than a 14-tooth texturizer .

Q: What is unique about the handle design of the C2 TS27?
A: The C2 TS27 features a 180-degree swivel handle design. This ergonomic innovation allows you to position your hand in any direction without straining your wrist, preventing fatigue and wrist pain during extended cutting sessions .

Q: What type of blade edge does the C2 TS27 feature?
A: The C2 TS27 features a convex edge (convex/hollow-ground blade). Convex blades provide an exceptionally sharp cutting edge with reduced friction, allowing for smooth, effortless cutting and reduced hand fatigue .

Q: Is the tension adjustable on the C2 TS27?
A: Yes. The C2 TS27 features a counter-sunk locking tension control screw (adjustable tension screw) with a screw-in bumper. The flat screw design allows for easy adjustment and won't interfere when combing through hair during texturizing work .

A: The C2 TS27 is forged from premium stainless steel. The high-quality alloy composition ensures strength, durability, and long-lasting edge retention for daily salon use .

Q: What is the finish of the C2 TS27?
A: The C2 TS27 features a liquid silver finish (polished). This sleek, polished finish resists corrosion and maintains a professional appearance with daily use .
