FAQ - Kasho Green Series 15 Tooth Texturizer

Q: What is the Kasho Green Series 15 Tooth Texturizer used for?
A: The Kasho Green Series 15 Tooth Texturizer is a professional texturizing/thinning shear designed for removing bulk and creating significant texture in the hair. The 15-tooth configuration removes more hair per cut than higher-tooth count texturizers (approximately 40-50%), making it ideal for heavy thinning, chunking, and creating dramatic texture .

Q: What steel is used in the Kasho Green Series 15 Tooth Texturizer?
A: The shear is forged from premium Japanese VG-10W high-carbon stainless steel . This steel alloy is compounded with molybdenum, vanadium, cobalt, and other elements to achieve superior resistance to corrosion and wear. The steel stays sharper for much longer, requiring less frequent sharpening .

Q: What blade design does the 15 Tooth Texturizer feature?
A: The shear features convex/hollow-ground blades that are mirror polished for smooth, quiet operation . The convex blade provides an exceptionally sharp, durable cutting edge. The inner side is hollowed so the blades only touch at the point of intersection, reducing cutting resistance to a minimum and considerably reducing hand fatigue .

Q: How are the teeth shaped on the Kasho 15 Tooth Texturizer?
A: The teeth are shaped by an advanced erosion technique that forms each tooth so that it meets the cutting edge at the same perfect angle, guaranteeing a clean, not jagged cut .

Q: Does the Kasho 15 Tooth Texturizer prevent hair from tangling?
A: Yes. The gaps between the teeth are tapered towards the inside of the teeth blade, which creates more room for uncut hair to slide smoothly through and prevents hair from tangling when pulling the shears away .

Q: What handle design does the Kasho Green Series 15 Tooth Texturizer have?
A: The shear features a semi-offset handle design with a camelback shape and a removable finger rest . This ergonomic design helps reduce hand, wrist, and shoulder fatigue during extended cutting sessions. Straight handle versions are also available .

Q: What pivot system does the Kasho 15 Tooth Texturizer use?
A: The shear is equipped with a tension adjustable screw with an integrated ball bearing . This system allows stylists to fine-tune the cutting tension for ultimate precision and guarantees smooth, even operation of the shears .

Q: What sizes are available for the Kasho Green Series 15 Tooth Texturizer?
A: The Kasho Green Series 15 Tooth Texturizer is available in 5.5 inches and 6.0 inches . The 5.5-inch length offers greater control for detailed texturizing, while the 6.0-inch provides more coverage for larger sections .

Q: What is the difference between the 15 Tooth and 30 Tooth Texturizers?
A: The 15-tooth texturizer removes more hair per cut (approximately 40-50%), making it ideal for creating significant texture, removing bulk, and heavy thinning . The 30-tooth texturizer removes less hair per cut (approximately 30-40%), making it better suited for blending, softening, and more subtle texturizing .

Q: Is the 15 Tooth Texturizer available in a reverse blade (BB) version?
A: Yes. Kasho also offers a reverse blade (BB) version where the cutting edge is on the thumb side. This is available for stylists who prefer this specific cutting action for certain texturizing techniques.

Q: Where are Kasho Green Series shears manufactured?
A: Kasho Green Series shears are handcrafted in Japan . Kasho is a brand under the Kai Corporation (est. 1908), a Tokyo-based company with over a century of blade-making expertise. Each pair is meticulously hand-honed, assembled, and set by a "Shujin" master, blending integrated manufacturing with skillful workmanship passed through generations of Japanese Samurai sword smithies .

Q: What is the warranty for the Kasho Green Series 15 Tooth Texturizer?
A: Every pair of Kasho Green Series shears is backed by Kasho's Lifetime Warranty . The first sharpening is free when performed by authorized Kasho technicians.
