Beard & Bates 1878 Black Label Shears – Premium Grooming Scissors with Leather Holster

Meet the BEARD & BATES 1878 Black Label Shears, a premium grooming tool designed for precise beard and mustache shaping. The 5-inch handcrafted frame draws on classic 19th-century design, delivering a balanced feel and a timeless silhouette in use.

At the heart of the tool is premium hardened Japanese J2 420 steel, known for its strength and edge retention. The blades are razor-sharp convex edges, engineered to glide through hair with minimal effort. An adjustable tensioning system lets you tune blade response to your preference, while a black anodized finish with brass accents adds a refined touch to your grooming kit.

A genuine embossed leather holster keeps the shears protected when stored or carried, reducing the risk of nicks and ensuring they’re ready at a moment’s notice. The combination of steel, finish, and detailing makes this tool stand out in any grooming setup.
