get what you pay for [SEP] this is an example of you get what you pay for so i got my s worth but the blades are not very sharp and pull on my nose hairs i applied some silicone spray on the screw hoping it would make the cutting motion smoother however it did not seem to make a differencei do not blame your company frankly i think you made the best possible scissor for the price as a reference i spent for a similar scissor in a speciallity shop as a gift for my son it meets his needs
