Mizutani Black Smith Fit Puffin
The Black Smith Fit Puffin is especially well suited to dry haircutting while remaining effective for wet cutting. Its ergonomic Fit Series handle and smooth cutting feel make it a versatile choice for stylists who work across multiple haircutting techniques.
Mizutani Black Smith Fit Speedstar
The Black Smith Fit Speedstar combines professional Black Smith blade performance with a rotating-thumb design. Its double-swivel handle provides extensive thumb and hand movement while the shear remains suitable for both wet and dry cutting techniques.
Mizutani Black Smith Twig
The Mizutani Black Smith Twig was designed with a slender, compact handle suited to professionals with smaller or petite hands. Its pointed “cat's-eye” blade provides precision while retaining enough power for techniques such as slide cutting.
Mizutani Black Smith Fit Puffin Thinning
The Puffin Thinning is the texturizing companion to the Black Smith Puffin. Its 17-tooth design and 20–30% cutting ratio make it a professional option for controlling bulk, blending, and shear-over-comb work.
