What This Consultation Is

This session is designed to teach sharpening as an engineered system, not a hobby skill.

You will receive direct, hands-on instruction and guided analysis covering:

  • Fundamental sharpening theory and edge behavior

  • Convex and bevel edge geometry and their real-world performance differences

  • Diagnostic evaluation of shears and clipper blades

  • Understanding steel types, manufacturing variance, and wear patterns

  • Controlled material removal, edge integrity, and durability principles

Instruction applies to:

  • Barber, beauty, and grooming shears

  • Convex and bevel shear designs

  • Professional clipper blades used in grooming and barbering

The emphasis is on why tools fail, how performance degrades, and how sharpening decisions affect long-term tool health.

Consultation as Training Entry Point

This $500 session functions as an orientation and qualifying step for individuals considering advanced sharpening training.

Rather than selling pre-packaged programs, this consultation establishes:

  • Whether sharpening is a viable path for you

  • What level of training is actually appropriate

  • What skills must be developed before scaling further

Many people interested in learning sharpening underestimate the mechanical, diagnostic, and discipline requirements of the craft. This session exists to correct that—early, honestly, and responsibly.

What Is Covered Strategically

In addition to technical instruction, the consultation includes structured discussion around:

  • Equipment fundamentals (what matters, what doesn’t, and why)

  • Workflow discipline and repeatability

  • Common mistakes made by new sharpeners

  • The realities of mobile and home-based sharpening models

This is not business coaching or automation consulting. It is trade clarity—grounded in real sharpening environments, not theory.

Who This Session Is For

This consultation is appropriate for individuals who:

  • Want to learn sharpening correctly from the start

  • Are evaluating sharpening as a serious trade or long-term skill

  • Prefer direct instruction over generic courses or online content

  • Want technical honesty before investing heavily in equipment

What This Session Is Not

  • Not a certification

  • Not a group class

  • Not a guaranteed business outcome

It is a technical and strategic consultation grounded in professional sharpening standards, intended to establish a correct foundation.

Scheduling & Format

  • Private, one-on-one session

  • Typically 3–5 hours (often longer depending on depth)

  • Scheduled by availability

  • Requires personal commitment and readiness to learn

This consultation represents an investment in understanding the craft before pursuing it further.
