im getting some more grooming stuff scissors and what have u as iv got a bit of extra money

and was wondering if some of the other groomers could recomend me some good scissors size and all

im using roseline ithink they are 5.5 inch straight at the mo my first pair of scissors i love them but i think i need bigger ones i was thinking about 6 or 6.5 but iv been reading up and well im all a bit confuzzled what to go with there are once that have got stuff on them coating them and other that have been put in ice to harden them and well iv got no clue what so ever what would be the best to bye

im going to keep with just single edged thinning scissors as i thats  what i used to use and well teddys eye brows are mad and i think i igh take them back again lol as with all the rain he looks like he has stolen a schnauzers eyeborw lol

well any help would be grate

and while  was on a website i came a cross a stripping stone cold someone explain this to me as i hvnt herd of one of these b4

xxxxxxx

[kizkiznobite]

well as you know i aint no groomer  ;D but i would be lost without a pair of the surgeon type – like they use for clamping blood vessels sort of thing – the are sharp but round ended and the tip of the blades curl upwards – so i can’t jab and damage even when they wriggle about – the the only pair brose has confidence with – or rather confidence with me when using them  ::)

[merrow]

lol i no what ones u mean iv never used them,

im thinking of paying to do a grooming corse or something so wanted to get used to big girl scissors as mine are dinky but i like them lol

i can just picture brose face when the scissors coe out lol ur dogs all  sound so commical  😉

[SuzAndTheDiva]

I only really use roseline scissors Bryony – have tried others but never been impressed. I have all sorts really teeny ones and I think the longest pair is 8 1/2 inches – something like that. Which ones I use depend on what im doing. Have also got two or three pairs of their thinners too. Double sided and single sided.

[merrow]

whats the difrence of the thinners ijust got the 6.5 rose line straiht scissors and a  single edge thinners  as iv only ever used the single sided ones do they have a diffrent finnished effect from the single sided ones ?
