How To Perform Slide Cutting Hair
Slide cutting is a technique used to thin hair at graduated lengths. Hair strands are cut by sliding down the hair with the blades of the scissors partially open. It's meant to remove volume and blend shorter lengths to longer. This technique should be performed on wet hair. It's important to hold the scissors at the proper angle and they're sharp.

Jaguar Scissors Changes Tension Screw
Great news! It appears that Jaguar has returned to the “traditional” tension screw style. If you are a sharpener of these shears in the past, you will know what I mean. These were the most difficult scissors to disassemble for sharpening. You had to have a "special" tool (provided by Jaguar) to disassemble the scissors. But the real challenge was assembling then back together. Trying to tread a brass "counter-sink" nut with a rubber "O" ring without stripping the treads require great patience and a steady hand! Sharpeners had to carry extra brass screws because often times you'd stripped the old one during reassembly.
