has anyone used pinking shears in the front? Is it worth it?

[TEG]

some say it is not; some say it great.

why?

 

[TEG]

it creates a scalloped edge

never used them but my UTS comes with a scalloped hairline edge and it is certainly better than a straight edge

Yeah. I would think they are. The one thing I hate doing is cutting off that excess lace; i get nervous

I feel you. If its not a wonky lace cut, I will snip the hair accidentally - I mean there is so much hair before the cut in. Nail scissors, good lighting and allocated time is my friend

I’ve tried it used pinking shears from Japan Scissors just on the front for texture. It works if you want a softer and neat look.

I've been interesting in getting some scallop scissors but afraid I'd mess up the hairline, but I have an old system I can try it on.
What "size" would you recommend?
