Which scissors should I get?

Convex edge scissors (Japanese-style) are versatile, being exceptionally good at slide cutting or wisping, and performing well with layer cuts or scissor over comb.

Bevel edge scissors (German style) are not as good at wisping, but are better than convex edge scissors with layer cuts in particular.

Overall, convex edge scissors tend to be the better choice. Read about scissors in more detail on the Scissors tab.
