The angle on the edge is important, with scissors the blades should actually be curved inwards towards each other slightly, so that they are slightly under tension and always closely in contact throughout the cutting stroke. (Yes I have done some reading on bladesmithing!)
I will pass on the haircut, Antonio, I have been growing it for 7 years now, looking forward to using it as seat padding one day, so all I would let you do is tidy the ends, lol. You can come and trim my bonsai anytime tho! (BYO tools, mine are definitely substandard, and get a very hard life.)
