Miranda Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 At the moment I am using Roseline straight scissors and thinning shears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Springergirl Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 I have Millers Forge Thinning Shears that I use on Max's ears and head. They seem to do the trick for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff'n'Toller Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 I have Roseline, they are gorgeous to use and resharpen as good as new. Mel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helen Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 While I have a decent pair of thinning scissors my normal sissors, until recently, came from the newsagents (you know, the orange or white ones that sell for about $5). No judge every commented though that my dogs look like they had been hacked at I have also in the past used sewing scissors. I went to the pet expo this year with a purpose in mind - to shop - and stumbled across the clipperworld stand. I looked at a couple of brands, the Mars scissors were unbelievable but as I am grooming a Brittany rather than a poodle settled for a pair at about 1/2 the price and invested in a pair of Wahl scissors. Imagine what my dog's coats will look like now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schnauzer Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 I use Roseline thinning shears, Jaguar long scissors and shorter Nova scissors - all have been fantastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also have a pair of Roseline straights about $150 RRP 7 yrs ago, Wahl straights & thinners $75 RRP 3 yrs ago. I only use my scissors on clean dogs, and never NEVER on powdered dogs.

poodle3081 Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 Nova 5 Stars are excellent scissors but they are no longer available as the distributor in Australia has ceased importing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
