The Freedom 30T arrived with the same civilized handle and swivel thumb as its cutting counterpart, though this member of the family was given a slightly different temperament. With 30 teeth it removes 25 to 35 percent of the hair, which means it does not merely whisper suggestions into a heavy shape. It changes the conversation. One imagines a thing like this being appreciated by someone with a sharp eye and no patience for clumsy endings. A little too much weight at the crown. A section refusing to fall in line. Then a few deliberate passes and the whole affair begins to lighten, relax, and carry itself properly. The Freedom 30T has a broader appetite than a finer thinner, but it was raised with good manners. It knows how to take enough without taking liberties. A workhorse, certainly. Though one dressed well enough to be invited back.
