This jar is great, just a glass jar with a very sturdy base. Does what you would expect and comes with a slip resistant base.It's big enough to hold nail scissors, trimmer blades, and manicure tools completely submerged. It's not big enough for a Comb or full trimming shears though. You'll need the full size comb for that.I keep my trimmer blades, manicure tools, and once and a while I'll dip the blade of my straight edge razor in it. If that's all you need, this is the size for you.The stainless steel basket with retrieving handle also helps you not have to dip your fingers in the barbicide (not really recommended).
