My thinners are OK but with the quantity of coat Charlie has compared to Heidi, I could do with some better ones. Mine are Roseline but the finger holes are a bit small for my fingers and that hurts (although this could be because I don't hold them properley :-\)
IF money were no object, what thinners would you buy? Hoping to look for some at LKA but want to research before then and possibly get some to avoid taking a yeti to the show :shades:

I love my thinners Jenny, a bit pricey but worth it. They are Geib Buttercut ;)

If you have them with you next week, can I have a look?
I saw some at Crufts last year, VERY expensive but wish I'd tried them now and I can't remember the company yet. OTH does spending £100plus make that much difference to ones costing £30 to £40. :-\

My sister is a hairdresser and she prefers Japanese scissors. They are hand made and last a lifetime but they are very expensive like 300 euro.
I couldn't spend that much so a went for second best ;) and bought scissor of the Jaguar brand, I bit better then the Roseline scissors

You get for what you pay for.
It is best to go buy the feel of the Scissors rather than the make find a pair that feel comfortable for you.

Just found the ones I looked at at Crufts - the Excalibur ones with the ergonomic handle :o Splendid pets sell them.
Anyone got them - any good and am I better to go for a shorter pair (4.5") or longer when I want them for detailing like head ears etc etc....

:005: you wouldnt let me loose on Charley boy :005: In all honesty I havnt tried cheaper alternatives in thinners, but did buy expensive straight scissors and ended up with a little roseline pair for feet which i love. It defo is what you feel comfy with.

Most of my scissors are Razorline and I really love them. I get them from where I trained and they are £35 each plus £2 p+p. I have a really long pair, a medium pair, A tiny pair for feet etc and thinners. I also have a spare set as I use them an awful lot. :shades: I also splashed out a while back on a curved pair of Oster scissors from Groomers and they are fantastic.
