Idéalcut

IdéalCut is the scissor line of Chadog Diffusion, a French supplier to the professional grooming trade. The position is clear: properly sharpened stainless steel at a price that lets you own several pairs rather than one good one — which, in practice, does more for cut quality.

We carry all four types. The straight scissors, 15 to 16.5 cm, the bulk of the range, including the Daisy model. The curved, 19 cm, for rounding heads and feet, also in a left-handed version — rare and useful. The thinners at 16 cm, for blending transitions. The chunkers at 15 cm. And the whisker scissors, short-bladed, for around the eyes.

Scissors are neither lent out nor dropped: one knock on a tiled floor is enough to throw the blades out of line, and sharpening does not put everything right.
