Title: Blenders
Post by: *Jay* on April 05, 2004, 07:52:40 PM

Thought all my dreams had come true when I stumbled upon blender scissors! As I am having all sorts of problems with blending, are these an answer to my prayers? Or would I be better investing the forty-odd pound that they cost on a decent pair of thinners :wink:

I've never heard of blending scissors, but they do sound like thinners to me :? I got the roseline thinners recently and boy are they good... sharp too, cut my blasted finger I did - with thinning scissors!!! :roll: :oops:

Some American sites use the term "blending shears" for thinning scissors -I always thought they were one & the same anyway :) I would invest in a pair of Roseline thinners Gill - just don't cut yourself :lol:

Roseline thinners it is then :(  I saw these blenders on petcetera - they had a selection of blenders and a section of thinners which is why I thought they were different :?  Oh well - there goes that idea. Back to the grooming table and JMB video :evil:

Not sure what the difference is - I just checked out the "blenders" on Petcetera & they look exactly like thinners :lol: I wouldn't pay £40 for them anyway :wink: Maybe Kim or Michele have tried them?

Hi Gill

Try here http://www.diamondedgeltd.com/acatalog/Onl...cissors_21.html (http://www.diamondedgeltd.com/acatalog/Online_Catalogue_Thinning_Scissors_21.html)
This is the cheapest I've found them.  I have the Gotta 65 ones but am thinking of getting the Roseline ones too as the others seem really blunt and probably just as cheap buying a new pair as sending them away to get sharpened - nowhere round here can do it.  I had a few probs with the Diamond Edge site yesterday, let me know if it works for you :-)
