Raitei May 31, 2011:
Idea Although I haven't seen the source material, I believe this is an attempt to describe the correlation between the scissor type and thinning rate. "Our No. 2 Type Thinning Scissors have a thinning rate of 20% whereas our No. 3 Type Thinning Scissors have a thinning rate of 30%."

*Thinning rate denotes the amount of hair that passes through the thinning scissors that is actually cut. This varies according to the amount of teeth found in the scissors.
