FC Professional 6" Shear Set

Clean Cutting. Seamless Blending. One Professional Set.

Built for barbers who want dependable, professional-grade performance without paying premium-brand markup — the FC Professional 6" Shear Set pairs a precision cutting shear with a matched thinning shear, so you have both cutting and blending covered in one complete set.

What's Included

• 6" professional cutting shear
• 6" professional thinning shear
• VG10 stainless steel blades
• Right- and left-handed options
• Tension-adjusting tool
• Leather storage case

Why VG10 Steel

Precision CNC-machined and finished with VG10 stainless steel — a high-carbon steel known for holding a sharp edge and resisting corrosion, built to perform through regular, everyday barbering use.

Built for Real Barber Work

The cutting shear is built for clean cutting lines; the thinning shear softens lines, removes bulk, and creates natural transitions on longer styles. Works on wet and dry hair, matched to your hand — right or left — for better control through a full day behind the chair.

Created by Barbers, for Barbers

Faded Culture was built behind the chair, not in a boardroom. We designed this set to give working barbers and barber students a dependable cutting-and-thinning combination at a price that actually makes sense — instead of choosing between a flimsy beginner kit or a $400+ professional pair.

FAQ

Are these good for beginners? Yes — barber students and working pros both use this set.

Can I use these on wet and dry hair? Yes, the set is built for both.

How do I pick right- or left-handed? Choose the hand you cut with — the shear is balanced for that hand's grip and control.

How do I maintain them? Use the included tension tool to adjust bite, wipe blades clean after each use, and store in the leather case. Avoid dropping the shears, which can affect blade alignment.

Daily after each client: Wipe the blades down with a soft lint-free cloth while the hair is still fresh, working toward the tip and paying attention to the pivot area where debris collects. For product buildup, use a little rubbing alcohol on a cotton ball, and never let liquid dry onto the shear.

Oiling: At least once a week, hold the shear tips-down with the blades open about 45° and place a couple of drops of shear oil (camellia/tsubaki oil is ideal) right at the pivot point not on the cutting edges. Open and close a few times to work it in, ideally overnight, then wipe away the excess.

Tension check: Hold the shear vertically with tips up, open the top blade to about 90°, and let it fall on its own it should drop halfway to two-thirds down and stop. Closes all the way = too loose (hair folds); barely moves = too tight (grindy, tiring). Adjust one click at a time and retest.

Storage: Store closed in the included leather case, tips down, in a cool dry place away from moisture and chemicals fully dry before putting them away.

Sharpening & service: The best sign is hair folding or pushing instead of cutting cleanly. Check tension first loose tension causes the same folding and only if tension is right and it's still folding is it time for a professional sharpening. Never DIY-sharpen a Japanese convex edge.
