Summary: The Best Scissors of Their Kind
Comment: These are the best scissors on the market for this job (nose/ear hair trimming). I bought a pair of Seki Edge scissors as a back-up pair to the Rubis. The differences are: 1) the Rubis blades are sharper; the Seki blades are fairly sharp, just not as sharp. 2) I have medium sized fingers, but the finger holes for the Seki are a bit too small, especially for my thumb; the Rubis has much larger & more comfortable finger openings; if the openings in the Seki are too small for you, you can take out the rubber inserts, which is what I did, & they fit fine now. 3) the Seki blade tips are quite a bit thicker than the Rubis blade tips, which means that you can't get as close to your skin with the Sekis, which in turn means that your hair won't be clipped as closely as with the Rubis; again, the Seki does a good job with this, just not as good as the Rubis. 4) although the Rubis scissors are a little smaller in width & length, they are actually 16% heavier, indicating a more solid steel construction. If you want the best scissors & can afford them, try the Rubis. If you want a good to very good pair of scissors for less money, the Seki will do just fine.

Summary: Close Trim - Easy to use.
Comment: In the past I have purchased several inexpensive scissors which have given unsatisfactory results. After reading other reviews I decided to invest in a pair of Rubis and have been very happy with the results. They trim close and accurately and are well worth the investment. I probably spent more than this amount over the years buying cheapies that ended up in the trash. I use this product to trim the hair in my husband's ears. He is left handed and is not as happy with it for trimming his nose because he thinks they are too small for his hands.

Summary: High Build Quality, but not curved!
Comment: Stellar Rubis quality, but the tip is not curved; the shape of the rounded tips make it ineffective for really close trimming.

Comment: First, let me state that I have arbitrarily rated this item with 3 stars because I was forced to make a star rating in order to complete the review. My personal opinion is somewhat mixed possibly because of an unavoidable bias. I purchased this item to replace one I had lost after about 25 years. The two differ somewhat. The Rubis does seem to be made of thicker and possibly higher quality steel, but it seems to be stubbier and shorter. My use has been limited to date, but it doesn't seem to be quite as easy to use as my former one. However, it is serviceable. The one thing I really miss is the old soft plastic case, which was essentially just large enough to hold the scissors and let it easily slide into my "dop bag" or a crevice anywhere in my suitcase. The large hard plastic container is excessive and inconvenient.
