You’ll see here the rotating thumb, or what we call the “Revo”, revolving thumb scissor.
If I put it against a straight handle scissor like this, you’ll see instantly that the
straight handle scissor is open where this is closed. This because the gap between your
finger and thumb is larger, which is less pressure on the carpel-tunnel nerve.
Secondly, you’ll see the angle, which you know makes the elbow lower.
But thirdly and most importantly, when you’re working on any haircut, cutting over the knuckles,
it allows you to drop your elbow into a much more relaxed, comfortable position, which
is going to save a lot of aches and pains.
