The Science of Shears
The construction and quality of your grooming shears will be a big factor in creating professional results at home.
Blunt tip shears are usually used in places that are delicate or dangerous such as on the face around the eyes or ears.
6.5" curved shears will work well for face triming and foot shaping.
4" Curved Ear & Nose Scissors are self-explanatory. The have a special rounded end for protecting your pet in delicate areas.
7" and 8.25" Straight shears are the real work horse of full body trimming. If you own just one, the 8.25" Filipino Straight is the most popular.
8.5" curved shears work wonders on top knots and tails.
10" Filipino Straight is rarely used except by professionals. It's just too much scissor to be comfortable.
5.5" shortcut shear is a great, quick shear. It won't be good enough if you wnat to own only one pair of scissors.
Our suggestion for a novice: One 7" straight MF00260 and one 6.5" Curved Blunt Tip MF00245
