What scissors/shears do you have in your kit bag, and why?

So back to the original topic.....

Still trying to get new thinning shears.

Ordered some Dubl Ducks....they were backordered with no set delivery date. Went back to this thread and decided to go to Sally's. The store in my city had 1 set of very expensive shears, and one set of super-cheapies....no better than what I have now.

So I ordered a set of Geib Gators from PSH....now I just a phone call that these too are backordered, with a delivery date no earlier than October 30th and maybe not even then.

So I'm back to square one! Need a new supplier I guess. Because I'm in Canada I generally order from Ren's or Pet Supply House, but looks like I'm now going to have to order from the US. It's just so much more expensive because of the shipping.

Grrr! What is your favourite store to order online from for Grooming tools?

If you want to try a pair like mine, I can pick them up from the Sally's by me and mail them to you. I can put them in a paded envelope, it won't cost much for shipping
 
New thinning shears, and loving them!

Well these puppies just arrived today and I gave them a quick "test drive" on ears, paws and pants.

I got the Heritage 42T Offset version. And for $50 the price is fantastic.

They are incredibly sharp and precise. They seem to take out just the right amount of hair without creating obvious cut lines. Comfortable in the hand.

I can snip, snip, snip, and see instant results. Using just the razor blade on the ear tips, has great results. And then open up the scissor to blend seems to work fine too.

Early days, but I'm going out on a limb and say that this scissors are by new best friend!

So you prefer shears with teeth on both edges? Rather than single edge? I've never been sure of the advantages of either one. Perhaps I should ask my hairdresser? "Only she knows for sure...." (from the old commercial, if you are old enough like me to remember it!) :lol:

The double sided thinning shears don't make as drastic of a cut than the single sided thinning shears do. It takes longer to get the cut, but it helps to not make noticeable mistakes. It also blends more naturally than the single sided thinners.
