Thus the cumulative cutting surface is smallerand less hair is removed with one motion. This allows them tobe used to soften harsh clipper lines by blending close to theskin and also for bulk thinning. Thinning/Finishing Shears have a lower number of teethper inch of shear. Thus the cumulative cutting surface islarger and more hair is removed with one motion. This allowsgroomers to bulk thin larger areas at one time.
