Who we are and what we are made of
Shinzo brings together the most respected Japanese factories. Not just one, but a curated selection of the best. Our goal is simple: offer the finest scissors Japan can produce.
Honest Materials, No Gimmicks
We don’t hide behind made-up metal names, fabricated processes, or fictional founding dates like “Est. 1921.” We tell you exactly what’s in your shears:
- Texturizers: VG1/VG10 combination
- Standard Shears: Cobalt Special
- Premium Shears: SG2
- Ultimate Series (coming soon): HCR65, a metal never before used in shears
Built With You, Not Just For You
Every shear we make is developed alongside working stylists and barbers from start to finish. We don’t hand you a tool and say, “Use it this way.” We ask, “How can we design this to give you a better cutting experience?”
That collaboration drives everything. More comfort. Better performance. Constant evolution. Our shears don’t stay the same because your craft doesn’t stay the same.
