FAQ - JW Shears TS7 Texturizing Series

Q: What is the JW TS7 Texturizing Series used for?
A: The JW TS7 Texturizing Series is a professional texturizing/shearing shear with 7 wide teeth designed for heavy, chunky texture removal . With an approximate 75% cut ratio, it removes about three-quarters of the hair in each section, making it ideal for dramatic weight reduction, creating bold texture, and working with thick or coarse hair types . This is the most aggressive texturizing option in the JW lineup .

Q: What is the cut ratio of the TS7?
A: The TS7 has an approximate 75% cut ratio, meaning it removes about three out of every four hairs in the section with each cut . This is significantly more aggressive than blending shears like the TS40 (18% cut ratio) and makes the TS7 best suited for heavy thinning, bulk removal, and creating dramatic texture rather than subtle blending .

Q: How many teeth does the TS7 have?
A: The TS7 features 7 teeth on the comb blade . The low tooth count combined with wide teeth spacing allows for maximum hair removal with each cut, creating visible, chunky results.

Q: What is the difference between the TS7 and the TS14 or TS40?
A: The main differences lie in tooth count and cut ratio:

• TS7 (7 teeth) – 75% cut ratio – for heavy thinning, bulk removal, dramatic texture 

• TS14 (14 teeth) – 50% cut ratio – for medium thinning, weight reduction 

• TS40 (40 teeth) – 18% cut ratio – for blending, softening, subtle texturizing 

Q: What blade design does the TS7 feature?
A: The TS7 features a convex/hollow-ground blade edge . Convex blades provide an exceptionally sharp cutting surface with reduced friction, allowing for smooth, effortless cutting and reduced hand fatigue. The design cuts quickly and easily with less resistance.

Q: What size is the TS7 available in?
A: The JW TS7 Texturizing Series is available in 6.0 inches . This length provides good control and leverage for texturizing work.

Q: What handle design does the TS7 have?
A: The TS7 features an offset handle design . The offset position promotes a natural grip with the elbow down and wrist in a neutral position, reducing overextension of the thumb and minimizing hand, wrist, and shoulder fatigue during extended cutting sessions .

Q: What is the finish of the TS7?
A: The TS7 features a liquid silver finish . This sleek, polished finish is designed to resist corrosion and maintain a professional appearance with daily use.

Q: Is the tension adjustable on the TS7?
A: Yes. The TS7 features a counter-sunk locking tension control screw . This flat screw design can be easily adjusted and, because it sits flush with the blade, it won't interfere when combing through the hair. It also features a screw-in bumper .

Q: Does the TS7 come with a removable finger rest?
A: The TS7 features a screw-in bumper rather than a traditional removable finger rest . This design provides a different comfort profile suitable for texturizing work.

Q: What material is the TS7 made from?
A: The TS7 is forged from premium stainless steel . The high-quality alloy composition ensures strength, durability, and long-lasting edge retention for daily salon use.

Q: Is there a lifetime warranty on the TS7?
A: Yes. JW Shears products, including the TS7, are backed by a Lifetime Warranty covering defects in material and workmanship .

Q: Can the TS7 be paired with other JW Shears?
A: Yes. The TS7 is designed to pair with JW's cutting shears including the S2 Series, X Series, and M2 Series . Many retailers offer the TS7 as part of kits that include a cutting shear, blending shear, and case
